We've discovered fiery, metal-melting planets, and icy worlds far from stars. Weird? It's our wheelhouse. Everything we've found makes us want to know more. https://t.co/pU45zxCCp5
We arrived, we sampled, and now we say goodbye. On May 10, #OSIRISREx will fire its main thrusters and start its long journey back to Earth with more than 60 grams of material from asteroid Bennu on-board. #ToBennuAndBack

Excelsior! The #MarsHelicopter completed its 1st one-way trip and 5th flight on Mars. It touched down at its new location, kicking off a new demo phase where we test this new tech and see how it can aid future missions on Mars and other worlds. https://t.co/TNCdXWcKWE
Shout-out to SSI Senior Research Scientist Mark Lemmon for helping create this unique view of Ingenuity's first flight! The left shows motion filtering that captures dust movement during take-off and landing; the right is the original view plus motion filtering.

Don't miss this week's Lab Notes--it covers looking for life on Mars, the future of human exploration on the Red Planet, and features SSI senior research scientist Bill Farrand! The Lab Notes is a series written by another SSI senior research scientist, Travis Metcalfe.
Today is the #SpringEquinox in the Northern Hemisphere! The twice-yearly equinoxes mark the points in Earth’s orbit when the Sun shines directly on the equator with nearly equal lengths of day and night. Read more: https://t.co/g1hUp3UsGS

A quick-look mosaic my team pulled together of the belly pan, now on the surface of Mars. Up next is to check my sampling system now that its cover panel is off.

I love rocks. Look at these right next to my wheel. Are they volcanic or sedimentary? What story do they tell? Can’t wait to find out.

@NASAPersevere Tim McConnochie and Mike Wolff will be studying Mars’ atmosphere and Ben Clark will be working with the PIXL team and their imaging X-ray fluorescence instrument to study the chemistry of rocks and soils.
Congrats, all! 🎉 🎉 🎉 (2/2)
Many congratulations to the @NASAPersevere team for a successful landing in Jezero Crater. What a feat, and what exciting science to come!
SSI researchers involved in Perseverance’s mission include Tim McConnochie, Mike Wolff, and Ben Clark. (1/2)
