Without these women trailblazers, I wouldn’t be able to blaze my own trails of discovery on the Red Planet. I'm thankful for this team every day, but especially on this #InternationalWomensDay.

My first drill hole on Mars! Collecting and storing rock samples is a big and complex task, and this is a huge step. Next step: processing. #SamplingMars

I spy with my little eye…a rover.🧐
See if you can spot @NASAPersevere in this image taken by the #MarsHelicopter during its third flight on April 25, 2021. Ingenuity was flying at an altitude of 16 ft (5 m) and ~279 ft (~85 m) from the rover at the time. https://t.co/TNCdXWcKWE

We just flew the first aircraft outside of planet Earth. Tune in to a postflight briefing today, April 19 at 11am PT (2pm ET/1800 GMT) to hear the latest from the #MarsHelicopter's flight on the Red Planet. Comment your questions for the team below. https://t.co/gT9xOVXf45

Perseverance got us to Mars. With Ingenuity, we soar higher.

The #MarsHelicopter made history today by being the first craft to achieve controlled, powered flight on a planet beyond Earth.

You wouldn’t believe what I just saw.

More images and video to come...
