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

Join us live as we depart Bennu: https://t.co/1DnxS14Ela

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.

🚁 #MarsHelicopter Update

We're targeting as soon as Monday for the first controlled flight on Mars. Watch with the team as they receive data and find out if they were successful. Meet us in mission control April 19 at 6:15am ET (10:15am UTC): https://t.co/xAdT9tgYr1

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.

The moment that my team dreamed of for years, now a reality. Dare mighty things.

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.

Infinitas gracias a @mbarreiro_tve por darnos visibilidad y la posibilidad de compartir este hito de la exploración espacial. #MeteoMarciana Go @NASAPersevere!

[Dr. Jorge Pla-García @JorgePlaGarcia]

@spacescienceins @NASAPersevere Yaaaaaay.
@spacescienceins
Jorge Pla-García (myself) is also member of @NASAPersevere mission (member of the Council of Atmosphere for the EDL and member of the MEDA weather instrument of the rover)!

[Space Science Inst @spacescienceins]

@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)

[Space Science Inst @spacescienceins]

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)
