Day 1 of our @JHUAPL Fall 2026 Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium (LSIC) meeting is underway @GeorgiaTech . We have a great line up of speakers and panels including government, industry, and academia leaders to plan @NASA_Technology infrastructure development on the Moon.
Was wonderful to be at the @iafastro @IAC2026Antalya last week in Antalya, Turkey. What a gathering of over 7000 space delegates from around the world. Excellent program, and great value from all of the engagements with NASA and international partners. #JHUAPL
Registration for our fully online Applied Physics Masters Degree at @JohnsHopkins is open! Upscale your education and learn from top-tier instructors in Materials Science, Photonics, Space Sciences, or Quantum Engineering and Technology. Learn more here, lnkd.in/eAfw6k7r
Packed house at #SpaceSymposium for our @JHUAPL panel on “Building the Moon Base”. Hearing perspectives from @WHOSTP, @NASA, industry, and John’s Hopkins APL. @SpaceFoundation #JHUAPL
We kick off @SpaceSymposium today with our "Science and Exploration" track in Baltimore West - Rocky Mountain Ballroom. @NASA Associate Administrator Amit Kshatriya leads the track with a fresh update on Artemis II. Join us in 1 hour (10 am MT). #JHUAPL
Headed to @SpaceSymposium for an exciting week of engagement and interaction with government, industry, and research institutions. Our team from @JHUAPL will be leading the "Science and Exploration" track (Mon), the Cislunar panel (Wed), and the Moon Base panel (Thu). #JHUAPL

From cleanroom to ocean world – our Dragonfly mission has begun integration and testing at @JHUAPL. Engineers are powering up key systems, including the spacecraft’s “brain” and power units, preparing the rotorcraft for the journey to Saturn’s moon Titan. go.nasa.gov/4ljsD9w
Great news today from @NASA for the selection of our new heliophysics space weather mission, CINEMA! Excited about the partnership with Dartmouth College, UCB/SDL, and Blue Canyon Tech. Congratulations to the entire team. #JHUAPL jhuapl.edu/news/news-release…
~3 hours from our @IAC2025sydney Plenary Panel on humanity's return to the Moon, moderated by myself and Ben Greenhagen from @JHUAPL. Join us in the Sydney ICC Pyrmont Theater at 1:45 pm to hear the latest from @NASA, @esa, @JAXA_en, @fireflyspace, @AusSpaceAgency. #JHUAPL
Heading out to @IAC2025sydney for a full week of meetings w/ space community leaders. Don't miss our plenary panel on "The International Community's Return to the Moon", featuring NASA, ESA, JAXA, Firefly, and Australia. #JHUAPL iafastro.org/events/iac/inte…

The Dragonfly mission is flying through milestones! Recent thermal and environmental testing shows how the rotorcraft will survive and navigate Titan’s skies. This bold mission will explore one of our solar system’s most intriguing worlds. go.nasa.gov/3V9Kd3L

Over the next decade, @NASA missions near Earth will adopt commercial services to send and receive data. The Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) demonstration, launching alongside TRACERS, will attempt to prove missions can roam between commercial and government satellite networks.

The satellite’s four deep teal solar panels extend in an X-shape, and its white parabolic antenna dish faces to the right. Metallic gold and silver wires and structural hardware are visible between the dish and its metal satellite bus. In the background, bright sunlight partially illuminates the right side of the Earth’s surface, while the darker left hemisphere is dotted with clusters of glowing yellow city lights.
