阿尔忒弥斯机组人员的全电动载具

One of three specially designed, fully electric, environmentally friendly crew transportation vehicles for Artemis missions sits at Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 11, 2023. These zero-emission vehicles, manufactured by Canoo Technologies Inc., will take Artemis crews on the final Earth-bound leg of their journey to the Moon before boarding their rocket and spacecraft. The new vehicles are customized to accommodate NASA’s unique specifications for Artemis missions while also paying homage to the legacy of the agency’s human spaceflight and space exploration efforts. Many aspects of the design, from the interior and exterior markings to the color of the vehicles to the wheel wells, were chosen by a creative team that included the Artemis launch director and representatives from…

为未来NASA的3个阿尔忒弥斯任务猎户座载人舱欢呼

The Orion spacecraft for NASA’s crewed Artemis II (right), Artemis III (left) and Artemis IV (center) missions are stationed next to each other inside the high bay of the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 22, 2023. Each capsule is in a different stage of production as technicians and engineers prepare the spacecraft to carry astronauts to and around the Moon on their upcoming flights. Technicians recently installed the heat shield on the Artemis II crew module, and teams are preparing to conduct acoustic testing later this summer. Once complete, the crew module will be joined with its service module in preparation to fly four astronauts around the Moon. The Artemis III crew module, which will…

Teams install the heat shield on the Artemis II Orion spacecraft at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on June 22, 2023. The 16.5-foot-wide shield will ensure the safe return of the astronauts on board as the spacecraft travels at speeds of about 25,000 miles per hour and experiences outside temperatures of nearly 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. See progress on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration.

A young alligator rests on a concrete structure at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 25, 2023. Alligator breeding season starts in May when males begin courting females. By June, pairs have mated, and females build vegetation nests in the marsh. Eggs hatch in about 65 days. The mother carries her young to the water and protects them from predators, including male alligators. The center shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. More than 330 native and migratory bird species, 25 mammal, 117 fish, and 65 amphibian and reptile species call Kennedy and the wildlife refuge home. Learn more about alligators.

The European Service Module for the Artemis II Orion spacecraft moves into the Final Assembly and System Testing Cell at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in this image from May 22, 2023. Here, teams are performing final checkouts on the service module, which will fuel and propel Orion in space, before integrating it with the crew module. After, the crew and service modules will be handed over to NASA’s Exploration Ground Systems for fueling. See progress on Artemis II, the first Artemis mission with crew.

In this long exposure photo from June 5, 2023, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket creates a beam of light as it launches from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 28th commercial resupply mission of the Cargo Dragon spacecraft brought new science investigations, food, supplies, and equipment to the International Space Station, including IROSAs (International Space Station Roll Out Solar Arrays) that will help provide a 30% increase in power for space station research and operations once installed.

Two black-bellied whistling ducks walk through a field of wildflowers at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 19, 2023. The center shares a border with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Merritt Island’s strategic location along the Atlantic Flyway provides a resting and feeding place for thousands of wading birds, shorebirds, and songbirds; more than 330 native and migratory bird species call Kennedy and the wildlife refuge home. Diverse habitats that include brackish marshes, saltwater estuaries, and hardwood hammocks provide homes to an amazing diversity of more than 500 species of wildlife.

用红树林稳定海岸线

A team member from the Environmental Management Branch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center works to remove a mangrove seedling deposited by tropical winds on the shoreline of KARS Park at Kennedy in this image from April 12, 2023. This spring, workers in the area replaced sand and finished an offshore wave break. The mangroves will be repotted and held in nearby surface water protected from wind, waves, and ongoing maintenance activities until they can be replanted along the shoreline later. With its 140,000 acres located along the Atlantic coastline and within the Indian River Lagoon estuary, Kennedy has long taken measures to ensure its shorelines remain resilient. Mangroves are one of the greatest allies against erosion, as their root structure protects the shoreline in addition…
