NASA News Conference: Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is Complete
Our new flagship telescope is fully assembled. Come find out what it will discover.
We're hosting a news conference at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, to talk about our Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which recently completed construction and is wrapping up prelaunch testing.
Participants include:
- NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman
- Nicky Fox, associate administrator, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters, Washington
- Jamie Dunn, Roman telescope project manager, NASA Goddard
- Julie McEnery, Roman telescope senior project scientist, NASA Goddard
Named after NASA’s first chief astronomer, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will have a deep, panoramic view of the cosmos, generating never-before-seen pictures that will revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Roman will also showcase cutting-edge technology, including a test of the most advanced technology ever flown in space to directly image planets around nearby stars, a key step in NASA’s search for life on other worlds.

Welcome Home, Artemis II (Official NASA Recap)
Our Artemis II mission concluded its historic flight around the Moon on April 10, 2026. Among its many milestones, Artemis II surpassed Apollo 13's record for the farthest crewed spaceflight from Earth.
We laughed, we cried, and we pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, setting the stage for future innovation and exploration.
We’re just getting started.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

How To Recover A Spacecraft
At the end of the Artemis II mission around the Moon, the Orion spacecraft and its crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, where a joint NASA and U.S. Navy team was ready to recover both the astronauts and the capsule.
After splashdown, the recovery team secured Orion, opened the side hatch, and assisted the crew out of the spacecraft. The astronauts were then airlifted by helicopter to the Navy recovery ship, and Orion was brought into the ship’s well deck for transport back to shore. It was a complex operation that ensured the safe return of both the crew and the capsule after their historic mission.
This is how to recover a spacecraft.

Can we maintain the momentum of Artemis II - 18.12 - Bad audio
In just 10 days, 4 humans inspired the world. Seemingly everyone is excited about space travel again. But can NASA maintain this momentum? Or will it all get buried under the next news cycle? We explore this question, as well as what we can look forward to in Artemis III, IV, and V!
This week we have Jami, Duta, Jared, Mike, Ryan, and of course YOU the crew of Tomorrow!

NASA's Artemis II Crew Return to Houston
After their historic journey around the Moon, the Artemis II astronauts are coming home. Watch as they arrive in Houston, Texas, home to NASA's Johnson Space Center.
NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 10, 2026, concluding the Artemis II mission. The crew accomplished many milestones on their 10-day mission, surpassing the Apollo 13 record for farthest crewed spaceflight and observing the lunar surface like never before, capturing iconic views.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

NASA’s Northrop Grumman Commercial Resupply Services 24 Launch
Watch the launch of a cargo spacecraft to the International Space Station, delivering supplies, new research, and a module to advance quantum science.
Northrop Grumman's uncrewed Cygnus XL is scheduled to lift off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 7:41 a.m. EDT (1141 UTC), Saturday, April 11, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Following launch, astronauts aboard the space station will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture the Cygnus XL on Monday, April 13, before ground controllers install it to the Unity module’s Earth-facing port for cargo unloading.

NASA’s Artemis II Crew Comes Home (Official Broadcast)
Around the Moon and back. Watch the Artemis II astronauts come home.
NASA's Artemis II mission is splashing down in the Pacific Ocean at about 8:07 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 10 (0007 UTC April 11).
Four astronauts — three from NASA and one from the CSA (Canadian Space Agency) — make up the Artemis II crew:
• NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander
• NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot
• NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist
• Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist
The Artemis II astronauts launched on April 1 for a journey of ten days that took them farther than any humans have traveled from Earth. On their Orion spacecraft, named Integrity, they flew around the Moon, making observations which will help enhance scientific understanding.
Artemis II is the first crewed flight test of NASA's Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, testing the technologies we'll need for long-term lunar exploration and human missions to Mars.

Moon Joy, Courtesy of NASA's Artemis II Astronauts
On April 1, 2026, four people (and one Moon Mascot) began a journey around the Moon, traveling farther into space than anyone before. With years of preparation, countless hours of rehearsal, and thousands of experts, NASA was prepared for every scenario on Artemis II.
One thing we didn’t anticipate? Moon joy.
Reid, Victor, Christina, Jeremy, and Rise spent their time in space testing the Orion capsule, taking precise observations of the lunar surface, and having the time of their lives. We were so lucky they brought us along for the ride. Ten days in space, endless Moon joy.
Launch of NASA's Artemis II: Moon Rocket Camera Views
On April 1, 2026, Artemis II’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket lifted off, sending four astronauts on an approximately 10-day test flight around the Moon and back aboard their Orion spacecraft. Enjoy views of the launch from cameras affixed to the SLS rocket. These cameras, developed by NASA, are called the Flight Imaging Launch Monitoring Real-time System (FILMRS). They survive some of the harshest environments of the avionics on the vehicle.
Under Artemis, NASA will send astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to build on our foundation for the first crewed missions to Mars.

- 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 UTC): Lunar observation period begins
- 6:41 p.m. EDT (2241 UTC): Predicted loss of communications as Artemis II heads behind the moon (roughly 40 minutes)
- 7:00 p.m. EDT (2300 UTC): Artemis II's closest approach to the Moon
- 7:05 p.m. EDT (2305 UTC): Artemis II reaches its furthest distance from Earth
