Really proud to be a part of the MSR mission! My amazing team’s hardware (the CCRS End Effector) is shown (partially) operating on the orbiter 1:16-1:20 🚀🦾🛰️

#NewProfilePic of the #CADRE rovers will map the surface and subsurface of the moon 🌑

Look who’s coming to visit us!

For several years @nasajpl has worked with #startup companies and small businesses to create diversity in our industry. Our partners at Techstars Los Angeles Accelerator are showcasing the next cadre and the innovative ideas they bring. Learn more about it here 👇🏽 stonks.com/techstarsla/de…

On a rare occasion you get to meet someone truly extraordinary. Colonel Kittinger is one. An amazing humble pioneer. www-nytimes-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.nytime…

If the #moon becomes habitable, we need water. To make water, we need to find it in sufficient quantities. Our Lunar Flashlight is validating the #tech that will identify the existence of water by bouncing light off the surface and measure the response. nasa.gov/feature/jpl/na…

As the #climate changes, how do we move from being climate *observers* to being climate *solvers*? Over the years, JPL has evolved #tech that measures #greenhouse gasses into a smaller more cost efficient package that will drive climate action— jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-sens…

There are different ways to land on #Mars, but if you want to go light and be willing to withstand the high-g impact, you can invent a crushable lander! It will get your small payload to the surface. Take a look: nasa.gov/feature/jpl/wh… #SpaceExploration

It's really special to work with folks that inspire and teach generations. Congratulations to JPL'er Dave Miller for his election to the National Academy of Engineering nae.edu/289843/NAENewC…

25yrs ago we debated whether planetary surface mobility would be important -Pathfinder/Sojourner tech demo ended that. 2yrs ago we debated whether planetary air mobility would be important -Ingenuity tech demo ended that. It’s at 40 flights & counting mars.nasa.gov/technology/hel…

We drive single #rovers on planets w/ mostly humans in the loop-they’re called rover drivers, of course! How about 3 small rovers acting like one that communicate & collaborate to split up duties w/ NO human in the loop? Take a look: nasa.gov/directorates/s… #SpaceExploration

When we transmit by laser communication or look at the faintest galaxy, we need to see each & every photon. So we build detectors called “single photon detectors” - of course. They’re also used for quantum computing with record accomplishment. Take a look jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-qua…

We test our CADRE #rovers driving in the #moon soil (well - our best approximation of the soil.). Here’s a test. m.youtube.com/watch?v=eqkrVp…

Antennas for #space want to be big & bring more data back - but spacecraft are small. So, let’s find a way to make the big ones small. And #3Dprint them. nasa.gov/press-release/…

Humans started with a fixed planetary lander, progressed to wheeled exploration #rovers, then aerial flight with the #Mars helicopter. Now we are building snake robots to explore where the others can't. jpl.nasa.gov/news/jpls-snak…
