Landing on Mars is no easy feat. For my landing, I had the help of temperature & pressure sensors that collected data about entry & landing conditions. Engineer Alex Scammell can tell you more about this important piece that helped me land safely. https://t.co/oiTaVmDlHt

As I drive around, I often use radar to “see” underground layers. Now I’ve come up to an area where one of those layers I detected earlier meets the surface. Could be another interesting spot for #SamplingMars!

From getting me built, launched, landed and operating on Mars, my team and I know about overcoming obstacles. Know a young student who’s also #gotperseverance? They could meet my team and get a message from Mars!

Good morning from Mars -- where as usual it’s dusty, cold, and strangely serene.

Here on Mars, I’m checking out a new rock and getting ready for my next sample. Back on Earth, engineers are testing the systems that could bring back this literal piece of history.

NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover Makes Surprising Discoveries

You’ve asked what I’m finding. My latest discoveries:
-many rocks here are volcanic
-they’ve interacted with water multiple times
-some hold organic molecules, aka “the building blocks of life”
Will signs of past microbes be found here? The hunt continues. https://t.co/65OluGsT02

NASA Mars Exploration

The findings by rover scientists highlight the diversity of samples geologists and future scientists associated with the agency’s Mars Sample Return program will have to study.

With my drill’s abrasion bit, I’ve made another 2-inch (5-cm) window into the history of Mars. This is how my new target rock “Issole” looks inside. Looks like another good spot for #SamplingMars.

Got another one! My latest rock core is from this target we’re calling “Robine.” Still some processing to do to get this one capped and sealed, but so far so good for another round of #SamplingMars.
