There's plenty happening across @NASA as September comes to a close! 🇺🇸 NASA’s Inspiration Tour heads to Arizona 🧑‍🚀 Crew-13 prepares to launch on 10/1 🔬 New discovery about life at the extremes ✈️ Studying the future of air mobility Here's your NASA Minute!

With @BoeingSpace, we’ll provide an update on Starliner development and plans for regular crew flights to and from the @Space_Station. Watch live Monday, Sept. 28 at 3pm ET: go.nasa.gov/4AA9Ii5

Always a great day when I get to return to my alma mater! Thank you to the United States Air Force Academy for hosting members of the U.S. Space Academy Commission this week. Your commitment to developing leaders of character for our Air Force and Space Force is truly world-class. Lots to learn from this incredible institution as we work to build the next generation of American space leaders 🇺🇸🚀

Congratulations to this year’s Administrator’s Agency Honor Award recipients, and thank you for all you do for this agency and our country.

For decades, America has talked about returning to the Moon. President Trump has given @NASA the vision and resources to win the space race, build the Moon Base, and establish a lasting American presence.

Another packed house for the NASA Inspiration Tour! @NASAAdmin is at @UArizona today, meeting with students and sharing what’s ahead for America’s space program. Great to see so many students eager to help shape the future of American space exploration!

We are using every minute we have on the road to get where things are happening, thank the NASA team, encourage our suppliers, spend time with the men and women who serve in uniform, and visit universities and young people who will shape what comes next. Our first stop in Arizona was @Honeywell_Aero, where we met with the team and toured the facility. A personal highlight was seeing a Hubble Space Telescope reaction wheel assembly recovered during STS-82 in 1997. I have a special love for Hubble, so that was pretty incredible. Then it was on to @DMAFB in Tucson to spend time with @usairforce Airmen and @CivilAirPatrol cadets, answering their questions about NASA and the future of American leadership in space. Those cadets already have their sights set on space. We might have just met a few members of the first class of the United States Space Academy.

America’s service academies have spent generations preparing leaders to meet the challenges of their time. Now, we’re working to build the United States Space Academy, a @NASA-led institution for the challenges ahead in space. Our U.S. Space Academy roadshow kicked off at Annapolis, where we got a great look at the leadership, technical training, and culture that make these institutions so important. A big thank you to @NavalAcademy for being outstanding hosts! Next up: Air Force Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, West Point, and Coast Guard Academy. Let’s get after it!

Welcome to the Artemis Accords, Albania 🇦🇱 Earlier today, the Republic of Albania became the 73rd country to sign the Artemis Accords, expanding our international commitment to the peaceful exploration and use of space: go.nasa.gov/4yaGgO8

Another big week in the sky and beyond at @NASA 🚀 🔭 Roman gets a major mission-life boost 🏈 NASA takes to the skies over Pittsburgh 🌕 Artemis III booster stacking nears completion Here’s what’s new in your NASA Minute!

We love you back, and love the views that come with contributing to America's return to the Moon!

🚀 TRUMP'S SPACE ACADEMY IS STARTING TO TAKE OFF! NASA is working to turn President Trump's vision into reality, building a new pipeline for the next generation of astronauts, engineers and space leaders. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman (@rookisaacman) breaks down the plan.

.@NASAAdmin: "I'd be extremely concerned if we didn't have the @USSpaceForce looking out for us... The Guardians are out there looking out for us as NASA undertakes our peaceful mission in space — something that our adversaries do not draw the distinction of." 🚀

We have three federal academies dedicated to the maritime domain. As our ambitions in space grow, we need to invest in the people who will lead there, too. With @POTUS’ direction to establish the United States Space Academy, we’re giving the next generation the opportunity to build that future. We have a lot to accomplish and we’re moving quickly.

A Statement from the Director of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center A Sept. 15 NPR story does not accurately reflect NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Look no further than the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Roman launched last month ahead of schedule and on budget, is operating, healthy, and on its way to its permanent orbit. The story’s inaccurate claims that work on the telescope was affected do a disservice to the outstanding and dedicated Goddard team that actually brought the mission to fruition. Likewise, the GRITSS CubeSat mission launched on time in July and remains in its commissioning phase without issue. Regarding some of our future work, the DAVINCI mission development has been accelerated, and will be the first spacecraft to go to the surface of Venus in more than 40 years. It is our commitment to take complete accountability for every mission we develop and launch. That was the case when I started here 35 years ago, and it is still the case today. We at Goddard made hard, but necessary choices over the past several years to consolidate into a more effective campus footprint – and we are better positioned for the future because of it. The aerospace industry is changing rapidly, and Goddard will continue to lead through that change. We are focusing first on the capabilities that only NASA can provide – and because of our deliberate, strategic choices we will now be able to invest further in our most critical technologies and facilities in the coming years. I want to be absolutely clear: Goddard is not looking backward. We are moving forward, and as center director, I am confident in the exciting future that we are positioned for, with the vision and backing of NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, to continue our legacy as NASA’s preeminent Earth and space science spaceflight center. I’ve had the privilege of being part of many missions over the years at Goddard, and am honored and excited to lead the center at this moment. With the dedication, perseverance, and brilliance of our workforce, my pledge to the Goddard team is that we will deliver nothing short of the best on behalf of the nation.

Welcome to the Artemis Accords, Djibouti! It was a pleasure welcoming @AmbDoualeh to @NASA Headquarters as Djibouti became the 72nd nation to sign the Artemis Accords. Our coalition of like-minded nations continues to grow, and so do the opportunities to work together as we return to the Moon and prepare for Mars. We’re glad to have Djibouti with us.

Another week of building the future at @NASA. 🚀 🎓 U.S. Space Academy work gets underway 🇺🇸 NASA hits the road across America 📡 Guam Remote Station is back online Here’s your NASA Minute!

First-ever @NFL flyover conducted by @NASA 🙌     Thank you to @NASAAdmin, @NASAJohnson, and @NASAGlenn in Ohio for today's flyover! 📲 Stream on NFL+: bit.ly/4zoY7lc

.@NASAAdmin is on the ground in Pittsburgh! We’re here to spread the word about America’s space program, inspire the next generation, and put a little @NASA airpower over the stadium. Keep your eyes on the sky before kickoff!

25 years ago, the Sept. 11th tragedy left us forever changed. Today, we pause to remember the Americans who lost their lives — as well as the survivors and the heroes of that day. We will never forget: go.nasa.gov/4r9kCai
