Hey, if you’re going to the GOES-U launch or plan to watch the launch on Tuesday, you need to switch out your phone wallpaper with these cool wallpapers.
I’m at the airport and just changed mine out. #ReadyToGOES
.@NASA has selected @LockheedMartin to carry out a rapid study of mission designs and mission elements capable of delivering samples collected by the Mars Perseverance rover to Earth. The company will draw from decades of deep space and Mars-specific experience.
Buckle up, Earthlings!
@NASA has selected the Lunar Dawn team to develop a next-generation lunar terrain vehicle for its LTV contract as part of the @NASAArtemis program.
The White House (OSTP) has just released a "Celestial Time Standardization Policy" to establish time standards at and around celestial bodies other than Earth. Moon is initial focus and
"Coordinated Lunar Time (ULC)" will be tied to UTC here on Earth.

OSIRIS-REx over delivered! 📦
Finally, weighing in at 121.6 grams, we present the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, over twice the mission requirement of 60 grams of material.
Congratulations to the OSIRIS-REx team! An audacious mission, a brilliant/resilient team, and samples galore!
Also, in case anyone forgot, they’re now flying the spacecraft off to observe the asteroid Apophis after it flies by Earth
Congratulations to all involved, including our team members for everything they've accomplished, from design, build and testing of the spacecraft to mission operations and the recovery effort, as part of this mission!
One year ago: @NASA_Orion's optical navigation camera snaps photos of Earth as it heads to the Moon!
The @LockheedMartin-built #Callisto tech demo also activates for the first time.

@FormerlyWTC@DENAirport I believe the train has broken down only twice in the past two years. I’ll have to double check that, but it’s surprisingly rare. Check out the 11/13 @ColoradoMatters episode
Another honor! 👏
The #OSIRISREx sample return has been named a finalist for the 2023 @SpaceNews_Inc Icon Awards for Civil Space Achievement of the Year!
Last week, big milestone! It might not look like much, but these pelican cases are the @LunarTrailblazr FlatSat hardware arriving from Lockheed to the Caltech ops center late last week. Getting set up to run the operations readiness test sims here #PI_daily
