Johns Hopkins University JHUMECHE doctoral hooding ceremony for Dr. Betsy Congdon & Dr. Gianna Valentino who completed their PhDs. Research done in the hemkerlab.jhu.edu & both now Johns Hopkins APL. Congratulations!! #JHU2021 #Hopkinsengineer #WomenInScience #WomenInEngineering

#OTD 3 years ago, #ParkerSolarProbe​ - designed, built, & managed for ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space by #JHUAPL - embarked on an unprecedented mission, “beginning a revolution in our understanding of the star that makes life on Earth possible.”☀️ 🛰️ And it's only just begun. jhuapl.link/psp3years

NASA’s #ParkerSolarProbe, designed and built at #JHUAPL, is speeding in toward the Sun after a swing past Venus on Oct. 16, 2021, successfully using the planet’s gravity to shape its path for its next closest approach to our star. 💫 🛰️ jhuapl.link/psp-vj9 ARCHIVED - NASA Sun & Space

Two days after leaving #JHUAPL, the #DARTMission spacecraft arrived at Vandenberg Space Force Base, its final stop on Earth. DART, NASA's 1st #planetarydefense mission, is scheduled to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in late Nov. jhuapl.link/pxj @AsteroidWatch NASA Solar System

Yes, NASA scientists are protecting all of humanity by watching our skies. Soon we launch our #DART mission to run experiments on how to respond if Dr. Fast and her team spot something. ScFi, but for real! GO NASA!

#ParkerSolarProbe will make its 10th close pass of the Sun this Sunday, traveling closer and faster than ever before. Map its progress in real time: go.nasa.gov/3FA1AAG

If all goes well, the spacecraft that NASA plans to launch Tuesday will smash itself to bits against an asteroid. If all goes absolutely perfectly, that impact will jostle the asteroid into a slightly different orbit. wapo.st/30IsUOL

Bye DART Spacecraft! Can't wait for launch tomorrow!

Excited to see the SpaceX facility where the #DARTmission is being prepared for its journey to intentionally crash itself into an asteroid. Liftoff will be at Vandenberg Space Force Base (Vandenberg Space Force Base) this Wednesday, Nov. 24th at 1:21 a.m. EST.

Having a great time Vandenberg Space Force Base today getting ready for the #DARTmission launch tomorrow night. Briefings and reviews today went well. After years of work, we are just a day away from launching NASA’s first Planetary Defense mission with SpaceX. #JHUAPL

Ready for launch 🚀 The #DARTMission will demonstrate one method for deflecting an asteroid off a predicted impact course with Earth if one comes our way. Watch the historic launch 1:21am EST Wed, 24 Nov. If you're in the area, you could see DART depart! NASA Asteroid Watch

Look it's Lisa! And her shipping container which protected DART as we drove it across the country! Johns Hopkins APL #DARTMission

Asteroid Dimorphos: we're coming for you! Riding a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, our #DARTMission blasted off at 1:21am EST (06:21 UTC), launching the world's first mission to test asteroid-deflecting technology.

🔥 Hot off the press! 🔥 We’ve touched the Sun! 👉☀️ Parker Solar Probe has now flown through the Sun’s upper atmosphere, the corona. Flying so close is revealing new things about our star, like where features called switchbacks are born. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3oU7Vlj

Super cool to see a PHD Comics about Parker! So proud to be a part of the spacecraft team!

The Parker Solar Probe heat shield is pretty amazing, we did this fantastic demo at the World Science Festival a couple years ago (around 27:30 in the video) where the awesome Betsy Congdon got the blowtorch out for our live audience! youtube.com/watch?v=w18y4i…

Congratulations Kelly Gleischman ! Thanks for putting yourself out there so movingly and starting conversations that are so important.

Starry-eyed ✨👁 NASA’s #DARTMission - #JHUAPL designed, built & managed - opened the door to its DRACO camera & returned its first star-filled images. These pics will help researchers calibrate for DART's ultimate asteroid impact goal. jhuapl.link/luh @AsteroidWatch

Ok, this is pretty cool! #DARTMission and #ParkerSolarProbe look great! Johns Hopkins APL nytimes.com/interactive/20…

That was even more amazing than I imagined! Proud to be part of the team that made it possible ☄️🎯
