Early reading. We have captured 7 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.

A typical post picks up 170 interactions against 1.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Posts are seen about 16K times each, and 1.05% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.29% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.33 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 30% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 7 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 99K interactions, about 370x its own typical post. Only 7 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Engagement by hour posted, UTCTwenty-four bars, one per UTC hour. Each bar shows how posts published in that hour compare with their own authors' median engagement. Bars above the centre line ran higher than the median, bars below ran lower. A marker flags Busiest hour: 20:00 UTC.

    Gas stations in space? We’re working on it! ⛽ NASA is teaming up with Rocket Lab and Eta Space for LOXSAT, a low Earth orbit technology demo to address the challenges of using super-cold fuel in space. Launching aboard an Electron rocket, this demonstration could help shape the future of in-space propellant depots to refuel missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond: https://t.co/cXd5YkIaiV

    NASA has issued a draft solicitation to advance critical lunar and cislunar technologies. The focus: closing gaps in vertical solar arrays, ISRU oxygen production, Stirling radioisotope generators, in‑space manufacturing, and advanced nanomaterials. These efforts aim to mature key systems, accelerating progress toward NASA’s Moon Base and near‑term missions. https://t.co/fHcXHsUgCo
