Today we partner with Crew 328 at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) for a live communication experiment designed to simulate what it’s like to talk to astronauts on Mars. During this broadcast, our conversation with the crew will include an intentional interplanetary-style communication delay, mirroring the time it takes for signals to travel between Earth and Mars. This live interview is part of a broader experiment exploring how delayed communications affect mission operations, teamwork, and public ...

Join us LIVE from NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the 1st Wet Dress Rehearsal of Artemis II; one of the final tests ahead of launch!! The upcoming wet dress rehearsal is a prelaunch test to fuel the rocket. During the rehearsal, teams demonstrate the ability to load more than 700,000 gallons of cryogenic propellants into the rocket, conduct a launch countdown, and practice safely removing propellant from the rocket without astronauts inside the spacecraft. During several “runs,” the wet dress rehea ...
