Thrilled that Johns Hopkins APL has just been selected by NOAA to build their Next-Generation Space Weather Suprathermal Ion instrument! This grows our contributions to help our nation guard against #SpWx hazards by providing continuous observations from L1. nesdis.noaa.gov/news/nasa-awar….

Great kick off to #AGU24 with the NASA Heliophysics Town Hall. Inspirational opening by Joe Westlake highlighting all of our achievements on the last Decadal Survey and opening a new window on the field with the new Decadal.

At #AGU24? Come by the Johns Hopkins APL exhibit and see a **full scale** Parker Solar Probe model. The actual mission is getting set to make its closest flyby of the Sun on Christmas eve. #JHUAPL

NASA's Parker Solar Probe celebrates Christmas with record smashing 'kiss' of the sun trib.al/1wVlIlD

’Twas the day before Christmas When through the solar system near and far Scientists watched Parker Solar Probe As it approached the Sun — our favorite star! 🌟

Today is historic day for space exploration. #NASA's #ParkerSolarProbe made its closest approach to the Sun, diving just 3.8 million miles from our 865,000 mile wide star. Congratulations to the #JHUAPL team and partners who built and launched this mission on schedule and budget

Something different at #AAS245 this afternoon. I'm excited to give the 3:40 pm plenary on how, for the first time, we shifted the orbit of a natural object in space. Learn about the exciting field of Planetary Defense and bold future goals. #JHUAPL #NASA

Many thanks to American Astronomical Society (AAS) for selecting me as a new American Astronomical Society Fellow. It's an incredible honor and I look forward to continue to represent the society. aas.org/press/aas-name… #JHUAPL

“I am deeply honored to receive this recognition for the critical space missions and research happening at APL,” said Jason Kalirai, an astrophysicist and space mission executive at Johns Hopkins APL, who was recently selected as a fellow by American Astronomical Society (AAS). jhuapl.link/riq

Registration now open for Johns Hopkins Engineering Lifelong Learning Executive coure "A New Space Race: Our Current Space Exploration", lifelonglearning.jhu.edu/jhu-course-spa… . With several Johns Hopkins APL scientists and engineers, I'm excited to deliver the first offering in April 2025. #SpaceExploration

Our team from Johns Hopkins APL will be at 40th #SpaceSymposium this week. Our focus is to bring government, industry, & academia together to drive the national conversation on space science, cislunar space, and space weather. Join our events and will see everyone at our booth! #JHUAPL

Our Johns Hopkins APL team is excited to bring the Space Science Track to #SpaceSymposium, today from 10 am to 5 pm in Broadmoor Main Ballroom. I'll kick things off before transitioning to Earth Science, Heliophysics, JWST, HWO, Ocean Worlds, Lunar Exploration, and other topics. Join us.

Learners at #SpaceSymposium can upscale education in leading physics challenges through the Johns Hopkins Engineering fully online Master's Applied Physics program. We offer flexible courses in quantum, space science, materials, and more. Register here, ep.jhu.edu/programs/appli…

Looking forward to an awesome Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium #LSIC meeting Johns Hopkins APL this week. An incredible attendee list with topics focused on strategy and tech to build a sustained lunar presence. I'll be helping kick things off at 9 am Tuesday. lsic.jhuapl.edu

Over the next decade, NASA missions near Earth will adopt commercial services to send and receive data. The Polylingual Experimental Terminal (PExT) demonstration, launching alongside TRACERS, will attempt to prove missions can roam between commercial and government satellite

The Dragonfly mission is flying through milestones! Recent thermal and environmental testing shows how the rotorcraft will survive and navigate Titan’s skies. This bold mission will explore one of our solar system’s most intriguing worlds. go.nasa.gov/3V9Kd3L

Very proud of the entire Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP). We are <1 week from launching NASA's next big Heliophysics mission, after 7+ years of hard work. IMAP will image our heliosphere & study the solar wind with a comprehensive set of instruments. Johns Hopkins APL

Great start to the AMOS Conference in Maui this week. Took an informative Astrotactics Space Wargaming course and now enjoying talks on dual use tech and space-based assets. Come visit the Johns Hopkins APL booth to discuss ways we can collaborate on National Security and Civil projects.

Heading out to IAC 2025 for a full week of meetings w/ space community leaders. Don't miss our plenary panel on "The International Community's Return to the Moon", featuring NASA, ESA, JAXA, Firefly, and Australia. #JHUAPL iafastro.org/events/iac/int…

~3 hours from our IAC 2025 Plenary Panel on humanity's return to the Moon, moderated by myself and Ben Greenhagen from Johns Hopkins APL. Join us in the Sydney ICC Pyrmont Theater at 1:45 pm to hear the latest from NASA, European Space Agency, JAXA(Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), Firefly Aerospace, Australian Space Agency. #JHUAPL
