👀 we're building and testing a new low cost rough lander for Mars. Proud to be a member of the #SHIELD 🛡 team and helping to find ways to enable low cost frequent access to the Martian surface.

Crash landing on Mars?
@NASA has touched down on Mars nine times, relying on parachutes, airbags, and jetpacks. Now, scientists think the easiest way to get to the Martian surface might be to crash into it using an experimental design called SHIELD: https://t.co/w6IerZrkZ3
Start today of a workshop in Pasadena CA to explore potential of commercial companies operating at #Mars owning, operating assets and bringing economies of scale to help accelerate Martian exploration. 70 companies participating. Cool to think of US companies operating at Mars.
Small missions could revolutionize #Mars exploration. Costly delivery and long-distance communication challenges need to be solved and there are some really cool ideas beginning to emerge. Read about it here:

The Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) mission, led by @RobLillis at the University of California, Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory @UCBSSL, is a twin-spacecraft science mission that will orbit two Photons around Mars.
Venus, here we come!
Congratulations to the DAVINCI+ & VERITAS teams. We're looking forward to the secrets these missions will reveal about Venus. https://t.co/Yofbg1tDot
