Happy National Space Day!

In the beginning, we were stargazers. Today, we are star sailors.

Space is where we make the impossible real in our time.

We go up there to explore, to discover, to innovate, to imagine—and to benefit life on Earth for all.

I like how Boston Dynamics has never shied away from showing its robots taking a few bumps. Farewell to HD Atlas!

Someone understood the assignment... and then went for extra credit. Five flights would have been plenty, buddy!

Our team is celebrating Ingenuity's first flight anniversary today and provided this impressive summary of the #MarsHelicopter 's entire journey across the Red Planet:

Titan your seatbelts!

NASA has confirmed that development of the Dragonfly rotorcraft will continue into final design, construction and testing as it progresses toward its historic mission to Saturn's moon Titan, launching in July 2028.

We are excited to help bring Dragonfly

A penny for your thoughts?

This is a 1909 Lincoln penny, and it’s part of the calibration target for my MAHLI instrument. The penny is a nod to a geology tradition, where an object of known scale is used as a size reference for close-up photos of rocks and soil.

I am super excited for this too!

Embry-Riddle is first, landing a student-built hardware on the surface of the Moon, Thursday night, Feb. 22, 2024. This event is historic: the United States celebrates its return to the moon for the first time since Apollo 17, in 1972. Well-done Eagles!!
