NASA BRAILLE (Martian Cave Analog)

We study #microbial_life & mineral deposits in #lava_tubes! We're using #BostonDyamics_Spot robots to practice...for a future mission to a martian cave!

In late November, there will be a 6-day training event in the #Azores to simulate living in a #lunar_cave - Portugal will have its first astronaut training site https://t.co/ubI5pJqSUX #Moon_caves #Planetary_Caves !!

@Erynn73 We appreciate your following #nasa_braille - but are confused about your self-description. You died in 1989? Non?

[NASA BRAILLE (Martian Cave Analog) @NASA_BRAILLE]

@BretHammers Thank you for following #nasa_braille!

Another article about #LavaTubes on the #Moon - ideal for future human habitats there!

Have we mentioned how much we liked our new stickers for last year’s field expedition?

HiPOD: On the Look-out for Dust Devils

In this image, we can see a dust devil traveling across the plains of Syria Planum. The dust devil is casting a shadow, which can be used to estimate its height.

Just a reminder that we like #caves! Anyone have a cool cave experience they want to share with us?

Lovely #planetarycave ? @NASA_BRAILLE

This friendly Spot bot is equipped with a 30x PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) camera to let us get really close images of the geobiological features on the cave walls!

Congrats! It’s the end of the week! You did great this week, keep it up!

[NASA BRAILLE (Martian Cave Analog) @NASA_BRAILLE]

Some people like having their feet on the beach, we like ours in the caves

(okay, we like the beach too, but caves!). #nasa #caves #astrobiology

Back into the work week, who had fun this weekend?

[NASA BRAILLE (Martian Cave Analog) @NASA_BRAILLE]

Hmmmm. What do you think it is? #caves #astrobiology #research #nasa

We loved hearing about everyone’s favorite #life forms, but we have to give some love to #robots too! Who has a favorite (fictional or nonfictional) robot? Here’s ours!
