A typical post picks up 675 interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.03%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 47K times each, and 1.45% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.06% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.8K interactions, about 2.7x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

NASA's Johnson Space Center's engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 67% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.03%, NASA's Johnson Space Center sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

    NASA is looking for ideas to help shape human health and performance research for the Moon Base. Input is being sought on research questions to explore as astronauts spend more time on the lunar surface, health and performance data to collect during early Moon Base development missions, and technologies and capabilities that could support that research.

    Today, we were honored to welcome President Donald Trump to Johnson Space Center as he awarded the Artemis II crew the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. During their record-setting mission, the astronauts traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, farther than any humans have traveled before, surpassing a previous record set by Apollo 13 astronauts in 1970. Congratulations, Artemis II crew!

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 675 interactions against 2.3M followers, an engagement rate of 0.03%. Measured over 27 original posts, its engagement rate beats 65% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 47K times each, and 1.45% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.06% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 27 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 59% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.8K interactions, about 2.7x its own typical post.

What is NASA's Johnson Space Center's engagement rate on X?
NASA's Johnson Space Center (@NASAJohnson) has an engagement rate of 0.03%, based on the median interactions across 27 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,258,714 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.03%, NASA's Johnson Space Center sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @NASAJohnson have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 65% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @NASAJohnson post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.3 posts per day across the measured window.
