I could get used to this work attire

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

So proud of our LM team and everything that went into this proposal. Go National Team! 1704 days to put the first woman and next man on the moon!

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

This aptly summarizes what I love so much about my career: I get to work on the coolest missions in the solar system while living in an incredible region on Earth. https://t.co/hRET7vIXx6

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

So proud of the amazing job my co-workers are doing on O-REx! Congratulations on the successful rehearsal!

Wanted to share my closest view yet of asteroid Bennu from yesterday’s rehearsal!

This series of images was captured during the 10-minute span between the Checkpoint burn, ~394 ft (120 m) above the surface, and the back-away burn, which occurred ~213 ft (65 m) above the surface.

I had the pleasure and privilege of working with Lisa last year on our concept for landing the first woman and next man on the moon. Way to represent, Lisa!! #CrewedNotManned

[LMRocketGirl @LisaDMay1]

That interview I did last month? It’s online now @DenverChannel Thanks @abbyrosenblum and @lexpincus! Also @garynapier for facilitating as always. #LockheedMartin #WomensHistoryMonth #humanspaceflight

@SpaceWilS Way to go, Wil!

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

The perks of having a desk right by the break room: overhearing ALL the gnarly details of how a coworker cut his finger off over the weekend. 🤢 #watercoolerconvos

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

Had a blast being on the panel for @SWERMS's CO Women in Aerospace at @LockheedMartin tonight! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to talk about the amazing space exploration missions we're lucky enough to work on!

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

Lots of exciting deep space science discoveries are being announced this week! This may not be groundbreaking science...but it's still exciting! #GoBrowns #DawgPound https://t.co/t7c5Te2CjV

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

@Judyn05 Hey! It's @brycestrauss in there!

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

I realized I've been posting all my #Iceland pics to Facebook instead of here...@SpaceWilS this one's for you! Didn't see you in my bag when I was unpacking!

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

I'm often asked if #InSight has started returning science data yet, and the answer is a resounding YES! https://t.co/wi6B63TeQk

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

And #InSight's wakeup song to start our shift today is a 7min tribute to #MER...😢 And I'm definitely not crying on console...definitely not ..... 😭

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

It feels appropriate to have spent this evening with my #InSight coworkers. While we gathered to celebrate our successful instrument deployment, we felt it necessary to toast #Opportunity and her incredible team. We'll miss you on Mars. Thank you for your trailblazing.

[NASA Mars @NASAMars]

To the robot who turned 90 days into 15 years of exploration:

You were, and are, the Opportunity of a lifetime.

Rest well, rover. Your mission is complete.

Another successful deployment!!

[DLR - English @DLR_en]

Hello #Mars! Here we are! @NASAInSight has successfully placed HP3 - aka - the Mole - on the surface!!! #MarsMaulwurf

[Sarah Brandt @sarahbeea]

HP3's turn! I'm already anticipating the nostalgia I'll feel once the deployment phase is over...these spacecraft sure do grow up fast.

[NASA InSight @NASAInSight]

I’ve got a grip on my final instrument — the heat flow probe — and I'm ready to pick it up and place it on the Martian surface. Once set, it will take #Mars’ temperature and tell us how much heat is flowing from inside. More info: https://t.co/WgZlKLc7RB

[SEIS @InSight_IPGP]

🇺🇸 The @HiRISE camera on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed me at the surface of Mars, after my deployment by @NASAInSight ! Since seismometers are buried on Earth inside seismic vaults, I must be the first to be immortalized in this way from the sky !
