Not one to brag, but this is pretty momentous. By dropping this one tube to the ground, I’ve officially started setting aside samples that Mars Sample Return could bring back to Earth someday.

My second sample drop is looking good! This tube holds a piece of sedimentary rock from the edge of the ancient river delta here – the longest rock core I’ve taken to date.

I love #photography. From broad landscapes to extreme closeups, my pics from 2022 had a bit of everything. Your weekly faves included my “pet rock,” a Martian moon, and more.

Sample Depot: 40% complete!
Another successful tube drop adds to my growing collection here at the “Three Forks” location. Four of the 10 tubes I’m leaving here as a backup set are down. More on my samples: mars.nasa.gov/mars-rock-samp

As of today, I’ve ridden the Red Planet around our Sun one whole time. Highlights from my first Mars year:
✅Explore vast crater floor
✅Collect 18 samples
✅Examine ancient river delta
✅Start laying down samples for #MarsSampleReturn
Many adventures still ahead, so...onward!

Fond memories! My very first rock core, from back in Sept. 2021, now sits sealed up and waiting for potential return to Earth. Six of 10 sample tubes are now down in my backup set.

Two years ago today, I went for the ride of a lifetime: down through the Martian atmosphere to my new home. Go behind the scenes with the people who got me here and learn more about what it took to survive the “Seven Minutes of Terror.”
