- Thank you everyone for the congratulations. The @NASAPersevere team is the most dedicated, tenacious, and brilliant group of people I have ever worked with. I am honored to have played a small part in this large incredible team.
- If anyone is interested (particularly those in India), I’m giving a talk this Friday. Times are in India standard time.
- Got to go meet a fully up and running optimism today (@NASAPersevere ‘s twin here on earth). Photo credit goes to @icancallubetty
- My husbands version of a Valentine’s Day card for me. 😍🤣 9 days down. 8 to go! #CountdownToMars
- EDL family voted and I drew the straw for dyeing my hair per their request for landing day. 7 hours to entry. Landing approximately at 12:55pm. At JPL and ready to go!
- Watching this was what really brought home the amazing landing of @NASAPersevere for me. Even more awesome than anything I could have imagined!Your front-row seat to my Mars landing is here. Watch how we did it. #CountdownToMars
- I’m pretty sure I’m still in a dream. It’s amazing what we can do when we dare mighty things, together.☺️ c-span.org/video/?509554-…
- First shift done for Psyche. A long day, but it’s always more satisfying to leave a shift when the spacecraft is stable. Did have to keep reminding myself that I had a new call sign though!
- My placard is up at my console. Gave me a chill when I saw it. About 22 hours to go. #CountdownToMars
- Honored to be featured on the anniversary of landing. ☺️"Touchdown confirmed. Perseverance safely on the surface of Mars." Meet Dr. Swati Mohan, @NASAPersevere guidance and control operations lead, who announced our rover's successful landing one year ago today: go.nasa.gov/3ByMCub
- Less than 5 days to go. Doing our last dry run in mission control today! Go Perseverance!
- Woohoo! Heli is on the ground!#MarsHelicopter touchdown confirmed! Its 293 million mile (471 million km) journey aboard @NASAPersevere ended with the final drop of 4 inches (10 cm) from the rover's belly to the surface of Mars today. Next milestone?
