WOWWW!!!!

Check out how quickly SpaceX demolished the iconic Lowbay structure just a few minutes ago 🤯! I'm not 100% sure how they did this but yea....

She gone

It happened. Today our #MarsHelicopter proved that powered, controlled flight from the surface of another planet is possible. It takes a little ingenuity, perseverance, and spirit to make that opportunity a reality: https://t.co/oT3rrBm6wj

We’re in the home stretch. The #MarsHelicopter has lowered all four legs and is in position to touch down on the Martian surface. Once it’s fully ready, @NASAPersevere will release it gently to the surface. https://t.co/TNCdXWcKWE

✅Take off
✅Climb to an altitude of 3 meters
✅Hover in place for 30 seconds
✅Land

@NASAJPL Ingenuity chief pilot Håvard Grip explains step-by-step how the first test flight of the #MarsHelicopter will go:

"What I look forward to the most... we're going to get that first shot of Ingenuity on the surface of Mars on her own."

@NASAPersevere integration lead Farah Alibay explains the excitement surrounding the upcoming first flight of the #MarsHelicopter:

A little rocking, a little engine throttling, and a gentle lowering to the ground. @NASAJPL Entry, Descent, and Landing lead explains what @NASAPersevere saw as she touched down on the surface of Mars:

To navigate areas of extreme darkness at the Moon’s South Pole, our water-hunting VIPER @NASAMoon rover will be the first ever with headlights! Several light designs were tested at @NASAAmes inside a lab that simulates driving conditions at the poles: https://t.co/IxcofaLw1s

After 13 yrs of developing #QI I know theoretically what is needed to produce massive thrust without fuel, but I don't have the practical knowledge to work out what materials would best work. I know there's a combination for launch & interstellar, but what is it? #idk

[NASA Mars @NASAMars]

Did you know @NASAPersevere has a twin on Earth, OPTIMISM, that lets engineers test hardware & software before commands get sent to the rover on Mars? Join @NASAJPL for an Instagram live on Oct. 7 in the 9am PT hour (~noon ET, ~1600 UTC). https://t.co/3BZWhkw7um #CountdownToMars

#ICYMI @NASA_EDGE interviewed our very own Michelle Munk who works on entry, descent & landing capabilities. She talks about precision landing tech for the Moon and a suite of sensors on @NASAPersevere that will gather data about touching down on Mars: https://t.co/YbQmgI8t8i

[NASA Goddard @NASAGoddard]

Can we build it? Yes we can (with robots 🤖)! This episode of @NASA_SatServ’s Pass the Torque features @NASA_Langley Systems Architect Dale Arney talking about in-space assembly and human exploration. Reply with questions and check back Friday for answers. https://t.co/E8E85COAz8

SPARROW, a steam-powered robotic concept, may take giant leaps over hazardous terrain on icy worlds. Many SPARROWs could hop across Jupiter's moon Europa & Saturn's moon Enceladus, both thought to host subsurface oceans—intriguing spots to search for life. https://t.co/stj3NO8C56

I can’t wait to hear! Was working with VIPER team yesterday about lunar dust issues and what we will learn from the mission. It will be great!
