Launch window for @LunarTrailblazr opens today! 🚀🌚 Immensely proud of our team and looking forward to getting underway to map water on the Moon. Launching along with IM-2/SpaceX, separating ~48min after launch. @NASA coverage starts 6:30pm ET #PI_daily

[Caltech @Caltech]

Tonight, we launch, to the moon!

🚀🌙 @NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer mission is ready to live up to its name!

The small satellite is riding along on @Int_Machines’ IM-2 launch, part of NASA’s CLPS initiative, which is slated to launch no earlier than Feb. 26.

🧵Check out this thread to learn more about the mission!

Proud to finally share my animation explaining how @LunarTrailblazr's spectrometer will detect water on the #Moon!

[Lunar Trailblazer @LunarTrailblazr]

How will Lunar Trailblazer's HVM3 instrument find water on the Moon? Check out @PCCLancer intern @SubatomicEmily 's latest animation explaining how HVM3 uses reflected light to detect water on the lunar surface!

SO exciting to see @LunarTrailblazr solar array deployment!

[Bethany Ehlmann @bethanyehlmann]

The very last steps of @LunarTrailblazer build. @LMSpace the team is successfully through environmental testing. As well as post-vibe test of solar array deploy: exciting to see the spacecraft move! Solar arrays are now back to flight-stowed. Ready for launch 🚀💪

Speaking of blazing trails...

#LunarTrailblazer will map the form, abundance, and distribution of water on the Moon's surface, giving future astronauts insight into where water might be found and extracted as a resource.

Former intern Sebastian Cevallos recalls how reformatting 100,000 lines of spacecraft coding commands prepared him for a career in software development. He loved working on Trailblazer's Command Telemetry Dictionary and is our #TrailblazerOfTheWeek!

Check out the latest feature!

[Lunar Trailblazer @LunarTrailblazr]

After one chemistry course, @KierraWilk knew she wanted to be a scientist. Now she's a PhD candidate in Planetary Science at Brown and collaborating with the Trailblazer mission to study lunar spectral data, and is our #TrailblazerOfTheWeek!

Annie Easley, born #OTD in 1933, began her 34-year career at @NASA in 1955, working as a human computer. When human computers were replaced by machines, she evolved too, becoming a computer programmer. https://t.co/ywfFuCRPjs

Best wishes to my colleagues at @Int_Machines on their IM-1 lander's journey to the Moon! @LunarTrailblazr rides with IM-2 so looking forward to more launches to come too! 🌚🚀

[Bethany Ehlmann @bethanyehlmann]

Last week, thank you to all the folks who came to my @Caltech #WatsonLecture to hear about our @LunarTrailblazr mission and especially the @caltechipac, @PCCLancer, and @EhlmannLab members who ran outreach activities! Talk is here for your viewing https://t.co/ltZFBH5ksf

[Emily Felder @SubatomicEmily]

My first feature of 2024 is live! Really enjoyed learning more about the lunar rocks right in my backyard!

[Lunar Trailblazer @LunarTrailblazr]

Where on Earth is the Moon? Take a roadtrip with Kathleen Hulguin's field guide to find out! The former intern located California's lunar-like rocks and is our #TrailblazerOfTheWeek!

u guys ever just think about how these lads dominated life on our planet for 2 billion years

[Lunar Trailblazer @LunarTrailblazr]

Applications are open for Spring/Summer 2024 Lunar Trailblazer Internships! @PCCLancer and @Caltech students interested in mission operations and science communication are encouraged to apply by February 5th.

[Planetary Society @exploreplanets]

This week on @PlanRad we explore Japan's successful soft landing on the Moon, how eclipses affect spacecraft near the Earth and Moon, and insights from NASA's @LunarTrailblazr mission with @exploreplanets President @bethanyehlmann. 🎙️

[Caltech IPAC @caltechipac]

Don't miss the Jan. 31 Watson Lecture if you want to find out how the @LunarTrailblazr mission will determine the form, abundance, and distribution of water on the Moon! If you can't attend in person, there will be a YouTube livestream link. Details: https://t.co/88KAZSXvzm

Banded fluorite from La Charbonnière, France. Fluorite can be such beautiful colours!! #MineralMonday #GeoscienceTwitter

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

One of the 1st images of Mars ever captured, thanks to our Mariner 4 mission. Launched #OTD in 1964, Mariner 4 gave humanity its initial views of the Red Planet & identified signs that water may’ve once flowed on the surface – information that shaped all Mars missions to follow

[Lunar Trailblazer @LunarTrailblazr]

If you want to search for lunar water, Christian Tai Udovicic will tell you that perspective is everything. The former student researcher is modeling how water's thermal signature is dependent on the angle of observation and is our #TrailblazerOfTheWeek!
