This is really cool, haven't seen this sort of satellite animation before. Stills, yes. Not animation -- nice work, @NOAASatellites

I am healthy and on my way to Mars, but may be too loud for the antennas on Earth while I'm so close. Ground stations are working to match my signal strength so that I can communicate clearly with my team.

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

Hello from space. 👋 I’m in communication with my team at @NASAJPL, who will keep me company for the long trip. #CountdownToMars

[NASA Marshall @NASA_Marshall]

After an incredible launch, @NASAPersevere has separated from its @ulalaunch rocket and sent its signal back to Earth.

The Perseverance rover is now beginning its seven-month journey to Mars – stay tuned for more updates! @nasahqphoto #CountdownToMars

"We are not going to launch today."

Due to the weather conditions, the launch is scrubbing. Our next opportunity will be Saturday, May 30 at 3:22pm ET. Live #LaunchAmerica coverage will begin at 11am ET.

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

Launch aborted... could not clear weather hurdles

[Dr. Nadia Drake @nadiamdrake]

Launch abort is started. SpaceX is NOT going to launch. #launchamerica

[Alan Boyle 👽 @b0yle]

Sounds like @SpaceX #CrewDragon launch will be scrubbed due to weather that won't clear in time, but official word is coming in a couple of minutes.

[Dr. Nadia Drake @nadiamdrake]

Weather update: “I don’t think we’re going to get there with any of the rules today...Not quite gonna make it for this.” #launchamerica

[Dr. Nadia Drake @nadiamdrake]

“Weather is trending the wrong way.” I suspect we’re going to take this one down to the wire, aka ~45 seconds before lift-off. In the meantime, there are dolphins in the basin here 🐬🚀🐬🚀 #LaunchAmerica

[NASA @NASA]

"Propellant load has started."

Liquid oxygen and rocket-grade kerosene are flowing through the @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

#LaunchAmerica

[Emre Kelly @EmreKelly]

This is gonna to be close. Countdown nets just said weather could turn green about 15 minutes before liftoff. Some conditions are still red.

WOW. Whistleblower Rick Bright's full statement accusing the government agency BARDA of removing him for his insistence on investing billions in scientifically vetted solutions for #coronavirus. (Reported by @maggieNYT and shared by @JDiamond1 @danfagin) https://t.co/UEW7Z3G7G0

Journalists! Are you covering research about the #coronavirus #COVID19? You've undoubtedly come across preprints. Join @AHCJ's webinar with @ivanoransky @angie_rasmussen @JohnRInglis to learn how preprints fit into scientific #research & how to cover them.

Red Rover, Red Rover, sending #Mars2020 right over!

The first step in returning samples from Mars just arrived at @NASAKennedy to prepare for launch to the Red Planet this July. https://t.co/0WYXVowJvs
