Thanks for the delivery NASA JPL! #Mars2020 has officially arrived ahead of its launch to the Red Planet this summer 🚀 Learn more about this mission to study Mars: mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/

.ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover is getting ready to roll!🤖 Preparations are underway for its launch to Mars in July 2020. While exploring the Red Planet, the rover will seek signs of ancient life and collect rock and soil samples for possible return to Earth: go.nasa.gov/2J5OIah

A Nature paper describes an artificial eye that mimics the structure of the human eye. The biomimetic eye has the potential to achieve high image resolution that could have applications in robotics and scientific instruments. go.nature.com/3e1P931

Our paper "Comparison of novelty detection methods for multispectral images in rover-based planetary exploration missions" is out! Read how we use #machinelearning to detect novel geology in ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover images.

Just to take your mind off everything, watch this. The guys in the booth who do this kind of work are straight up wizards.

This is such a huge scientific gut punch. The end of an era. 😢 Definitely going to be pouring one out for Arecibo while watching Contact tomorrow night in memorium. nature.com/articles/d4158…

In our team's final pre-landing instrument blog, ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover Mastcam-Z colleagues Emily Lakdawalla and Melissa Rice describe the hows, whys, and technical details of the cameras' superhuman vision! mastcamz.asu.edu/the-mastcam-z-…

Many others will be sharing photos this morning. I'm going to do something different: read through Maki et al. (2020), the paper describing Perseverance's engineering cameras, and provide you some context for those pictures. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

It happened. Today our #MarsHelicopter proved that powered, controlled flight from the surface of another planet is possible. It takes a little ingenuity, perseverance, and spirit to make that opportunity a reality: go.nasa.gov/3tvLoed

We spy with our little eyes…rover landing gear! During the #MarsHelicopter’s 26th flight, it took photos of the entry, descent, & landing gear NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover needed to safely land on Mars. You can see the protective backshell & massive dusty parachute. go.nasa.gov/3vkglFM

Liftoff of Starship!

After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data. Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.

Can't help but think today of a now-famous Roosevelt quote, here focused on the second part no-one ever talks about and which I consider most important: "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with

Starship is coasting in space

After liftoff on February 26, Athena established a stable attitude, solar charging, and radio communications contact with our mission operations center in Houston. The lander is in excellent health, sending selfies, and preparing for a series of planned main engine firings to

Athena successfully entered her intended circular orbit around the Moon on March 3. Flight controllers expect Athena to complete 39 lunar orbits until her south pole region landing site has adequate sunlight to power surface operations. Intuitive Machines expects a landing
