Thanks A.C. Charania — space tech demos are so important for advancing science! We wouldn’t have NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover without Sojourner. We won’t have without the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph! NASA JPL is proud to push the boundaries of tech to support science!

Diagnosing a thorny problem in a spacecraft launched 47 years ago which is beyond the edge of our solar system. All I can say is wow - our NASA Voyager team at NASA JPL are inspiring! Keep up the great work! And thanks to all who are cheering for us and the mighty Vger!

Excited to visit University of Arizona today to talk all things space geekery and collaboration. Especially exciting to see O-REX samples for real. Dream come true!

Our proved that a kinetic impactor could deflect a hazardous asteroid should one ever be on a collision course with Earth. Now a study led by NASA JPL shows that this test not only changed the motion of a small asteroid but also its shape! nasa.gov/missions/dart/…

Celebrating with an exciting update: NASA and Deutsche Raumfahrtagentur will cont. 25 years of tracking Earth’s water cycle with GRACE-C, the latest in a “trilogy” of missions that have delivered actionable data on Earth's most important resource.🌊 go.nasa.gov/3IMqiS7

We’re known for our deep space missions, but DYK that NASA JPL plays a leading role in understanding sea level rise? Rising seas have huge impacts on coastal communities & ecosystems. We’re proud to work with communities on local impacts & mitigation strategies. 🌎🌊

With its solar arrays deployed, NASA Europa Clipper spans more than 100 feet (~30 meters) – about the length of a basketball court! Step into the cleanroom with NASA JPL engineers as they provide a behind-the-scenes look at the nearly completed spacecraft.
