Over the weekend, I collected my 14th rock core, but I was unable to seal the sample tube. The sample is stored safely inside my caching assembly, but some work remains to figure out how to cap and seal the tube. #SamplingMars
A continent-size dust storm is swirling over Mars' southern hemisphere, and the NASA InSight team is taking steps to keep the solar-powered lander operational as long as possible. Meanwhile, MRO is keeping tabs on the storm from overhead: go.nasa.gov/3CIFuha
An innovation called Terrain Relative Navigation helped the NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover rover avoid hazards in Jezero Crater and land safely on Mars. Find out how this precision landing tech was built and tested through Space Tech programs and industry partnerships: go.nasa.gov/3rvnr7B
DYK? The Mars samples NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover is collecting right now will be returned to Earth! #SamplingMars
Scientists Lindsay Hays & Meenakshi Wadhwa discuss this intricately complex mission in our new podcast episode.

A beautiful site for collecting lucky rock core #13! Currently nerding out over this fine-grained sample, and aiming to get another like it from this area. #SamplingMars

Wondering what to listen to on #InternationalPodcastDay ?!
Check out our 'On A Mission' series for stories from those who make space exploration possible. Word in the universe is that NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover and Curiosity Rover might have some good recos too. 😉go.nasa.gov/3fwyT06
You can’t make a science omelet without breaking a few…rocks? (Okay, so maybe metaphors aren’t my strong suit.) Seems my abrasion tool was a bit much for this one rock, but I’ve tried another one nearby with better luck. Soon, more #SamplingMars !

Over the weekend, #MarsHelicopter successfully completed Flight 33! The rotorcraft reached an altitude of 10 meters (33 ft) and traveled 111.24 meters (365 ft) in 55.2 seconds. If you look closely at this image, you’ll see Ingenuity’s leg and tiny shadow.
Science that could make Martian-grown potatoes a reality!
New research aims to convert toxic Martian regolith into fertile soil. We’re working with National Science Foundation to sponsor this project which can benefit crop production in space & on Earth. go.nasa.gov/3y05YId
The #MarsHelicopter completed Flight 32 over the weekend! 🚁 The 55.3-second flight covered 93.74m at a max speed of 4.75 meters per second. Full details on the flight log: go.nasa.gov/3QW9TMG
Can you spot the two hints of Ingenuity in this image?
Rovers, orbiters, telescopes – and now a new, powerful eye watching the Red Planet. Welcome to the Mars team, NASA Hallo-Webb Telescope 🕸🕷🎃! We can't wait to see what your observations add to our knowledge of dust storms, weather patterns, and seasonal changes!
