NASA and Boeing teams are "go" to proceed with undocking the uncrewed #Starliner from the @Space_Station on Friday, Sept. 6. Undocking coverage is set to begin at 5:45pm ET (2145 UTC), with Starliner touching down at 12:03am (0403 UTC) on Sept. 7. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3TayjWx

September is a super month for skywatching! Spot Saturn soaring past the stars all month long—and on Sept. 17, stay up to see the supermoon as it shows off a partial lunar eclipse. Get the scoop: https://go.nasa.gov/3Z8OBmI

Sometimes you need to eat an entire stream of dust thousands of light-years long. Let us show you the best way to do it! In this image, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy consumes streams of gas and dust: https://go.nasa.gov/4gac2lA

This #LaborDay, we thank the people from many different fields and backgrounds who help us explore the cosmos. We're grateful for our passionate, dedicated workforce and proud to be one of the best places to work in the federal government: https://nasa.gov/people/

A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space

Our @SpaceX #Crew9 mission will launch two crew members to the @Space_Station no earlier than Sept. 24, following our decision to return #Starliner uncrewed. Learn more about @AstroHague, Aleksandr Gorbunov, and the latest Crew-9 updates: https://go.nasa.gov/4cGTS8c

Sail deployment achieved! Our Advanced Composite Solar Sail System has successfully unfurled its sail & will use sunlight for propulsion as it orbits Earth, testing next-generation technologies that will help enable future missions at the Moon & beyond: https://go.nasa.gov/3XovKTm

Can you see our name in these satellite photos of Earth? Spell yours in images from the @NASAEarth & @USGS Landsat program, which has observed our home planet for over 50 years: http://go.nasa.gov/EarthName

Heard about a "planet parade" in the pre-dawn sky? Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are easily visible, and in the first week of September, Mercury pops up above the eastern horizon before sunrise. But note that you'll need a telescope to see Uranus or Neptune.

Astronaut @JonnyKimUSA is getting ready for his first mission to the @Space_Station! Kim is scheduled to lift off in a Soyuz spacecraft in March 2025 for an eight-month stay in low Earth orbit. Get the details: https://go.nasa.gov/4cPQasN

Update: I've started my climb up the Jezero Crater rim! My team has a few spots for me to explore along the way – but they're most excited about an area over the crest and outside the crater called Witch Hazel Hill, which includes the most ancient Martian crust on my journey.

Since 2018, our Astrobee robots—Honey, Queen, and Bumble—have been floating around the @Space_Station, contributing to thousands of hours of @ISS_Research. Get the buzz on Astrobees and what's next for these free-flying helpers: https://go.nasa.gov/3Z0smPI

Our home planet has some extreme environments! Studying those places can help inform our missions searching for life elsewhere. From the lava fields of Iceland to the undersea volcanoes of Santorini, follow NASA scientists as they explore Our Alien Earth: https://go.nasa.gov/3Xlg2bE

NASA's ESCAPADE (Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers) mission is targeting no earlier than Oct. 13 for launch on a @BlueOrigin rocket. ESCAPADE will study the interaction of solar wind with the magnetosphere on Mars: https://go.nasa.gov/4dWgDGg

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, humanity's journey has just begun. As we conduct @ISS_Research and support the development of future space destinations, we're soliciting feedback to guide the next generation of human presence in low Earth orbit: https://go.nasa.gov/4dYWak1

Celebrate #WomensEqualityDay with us by learning more about some of the women who worked tirelessly for women’s rights at NASA – and inspired others to do the same here and elsewhere.

LIVE: We're discussing NASA's @BoeingSpace Crew Flight Test following the completion of today's Agency Test Flight Readiness Review. Listen in for the latest #Starliner updates.

NASA will return @BoeingSpace's #Starliner to Earth without @NASA_Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams aboard the spacecraft. The uncrewed return allows NASA and Boeing to continue gathering testing data on Starliner during its upcoming flight home, while also not

Butch and Suni will continue to contribute to @ISS_Research aboard the station before heading home in a @SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Read about their work so far: https://go.nasa.gov/3T2ehhb Follow our blogs for the latest @Space_Station and #Starliner updates: https://blogs.nasa.gov
