#DYK From 1975 to 2009, NASA Stennis tested every main engine to help power 135 shuttle missions that enabled historic missions, such as those that deployed & repaired @NASAHubble and assembled the @Space_Station, enabling its many scientific experiments & spinoff technologies.
Crawlin' along. Taken on Jan. 30, 1997, space shuttle Discovery made its way toward Launch Pad 39A. As the second @NASAHubble servicing mission, a seven-member crew launched on February 11, 1997, for the STS-82 flight.

A fun bit of space trivia as the Big Game approaches! 🏈 The International Space Station (@Space_Station) measures 357 feet end-to-end. That’s almost equivalent to the length of a football field including the end zones (360 feet). #SuperBowl #SBLIX

Congrats to @NASA astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams on achieving 62 hours, 6 minutes of total spacewalk time, 4th on NASA's all-time list. #DYK NASA Stennis hosted Williams in Sept. 2023 as the presenter of the annual Silver Snoopy Awards for center and @NASA_NSSC employees.
Astronaut Suni Williams rode the Canadarm2 robotic arm while orbiting above the Earth during a five hour, 26-minute spacewalk on Jan. 30, 2025. Williams now has 62 hours, 6 minutes of total spacewalk time, fourth on @NASA's all-time list. More pix...
