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.

When you run into a challenge, sometimes it’s best to step back and shake it off.
I reversed up onto some nearby rocks to get tilted, and did a twist with one foot. Somewhere along the way I’ve shaken loose the other two pebbles in my sampling system. Back to #SamplingMars soon!

Time flies when you’re exploring another planet! This week marks my one-year landiversary on Mars (Feb. 18) and I have several drives planned and more rocks to see. Meanwhile, my team back on Earth has various ways you can celebrate my first year at Mars: https://t.co/iF4lZGRAtQ
I’ve now been on Mars for a full (Earth) year! Many firsts on an ambitious to-do list:
✅ Collected first rock cores from another planet
✅ Served as base station for #MarsHelicopter
✅ Extracted oxygen from thin Martian air
✅ Set driving records

I’ve been “pedal to the metal” lately, focused on my drive to the upcoming delta. But I’ve also spotted a few interesting things along the way: look closely and you’ll see part of the parachute and capsule I rode in on. Definitely wouldn’t be where I am without…
You can spot them both in the middle distance. On the left is a thin line of orange and white: the parachute fabric at rest on the ground. The brighter object to the right is a section of my backshell, the top half of the capsule that protected me during descent.

Today I witnessed history. Now you can too. You’re watching video of the #MarsHelicopter’s first flight – a true “Wright brothers” moment. Watch it all unfold: ✅ Spin-up ✅ Takeoff ✅ Hover ✅ Turn ✅ Landing Read more: https://t.co/FIsf5RfHGj
A year ago, I watched this little adventurer take its first short hop into the history books. We planned for maybe a few weeks of basic flight tests. Who knew the #MarsHelicopter would still be zipping along, helping inform where I go next? Keep soaring, Ingenuity!

Truly fascinating. I zoomed in with my Mastcam-Z camera on a Phobos solar eclipse. This detailed video can help scientists on my team better understand the Martian moon’s orbit and how its gravity affects the interior of Mars, including its crust & mantle. https://t.co/jVdJ4UwhDx
A skydiver is only as good as their equipment – and this gear worked beautifully! Thanks to the #MarsHelicopter Ingenuity for capturing these new aerial views of my parachute and backshell:
