Congratulations to @kari2030 and partners on the launch of #KPLO (Danuri), their first lunar exploration mission! KPLO will spend the next 4.5 months traveling to lunar orbit, where its 5 instruments will study the Moon's poles. go.nasa.gov/3Q3uNK5 📸: @SLDelta45 (1/3)

@NASAArtemis

Great job! The Official Flight Kit aboard @NASA_Orion will contain all of these goodies and even more. Check out what else is flying around the Moon: go.nasa.gov/3SDWlHV

When @NASA_Orion travels beyond the Moon during #Artemis I, guess what will fly aboard the Official Flight Kit?

“Guess what we just found! I think we found what we came for.”

#OTD in 1971, Apollo 15 Commander David Scott told Mission Control that he and James Irwin had found an ancient Moon rock, later dated to 4 billion years old and named the Genesis Rock.
