The Sun sets on Mars, as seen by the Spirit rover looking down from the Columbia Hills. These hills – Anderson, Brown, Chawla, Clark, Husband, McCool, and Ramon – forever bear the names of the astronauts lost on Feb. 1, 2003. https://go.nasa.gov/3jixSem

One small sample tube. Built on Earth by caring humans; filled on Mars by an inquisitive robot. Now it sits waiting for a potential pickup and return journey, not many years from now. #MarsSampleReturn

Mars is near its closest point to Earth in its orbit. It's a good time to watch for the planet rising as a bright, reddish "star" in the east after sunset. See the latest in Mars exploration at http://mars.nasa.gov
#NASAMars


Happy #RedPlanetDay! If you have clear skies, watch for bright Mars rising in the east after sunset.

A red letter day for the Red Planet: Nov. 26 is the anniversary of @MarsCuriosity's launch in 2011 and @NASAInSight's landing in 2018. Follow along with all our missions at http://mars.nasa.gov
#NASAMars


Explorers, assemble! @nasa and @ESA are teaming up to tackle a mighty goal: bringing rock samples safely back from the Red Planet. What @NASAPersevere is collecting now could be back on Earth by the early 2030s. See how Mars Sample Return would play out: http://mars.nasa.gov/msr #NASAMars


Current and future helicopters on Mars will offer explorers the 4R's: reach, range, resolution, and robotics. Read more from the originator of @NASAPersevere's Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter https://go.nasa.gov/3AijiJ6 #NASAMars


Rover power! In the latest episode of "On a Mission," learn all about how the Mars rovers power through their missions. 🔊 Tune in here, or wherever you get your podcasts: https://go.nasa.gov/3X0Ctkf #NASAMars


The @NASAPersevere rover has hit paydirt on Mars (scientifically). The latest findings provide rich detail about a region of the Red Planet that has a watery past, and is yielding promising samples for the NASA/ESA Mars Sample Return campaign. See more: https://go.nasa.gov/3RLBzoB #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1570462549380059137#m


The @NASAInSight lander has picked up vibrations from four space rocks that crashed on Mars – the first time seismic and acoustic waves from an impact have been detected on the Red Planet. More: https://go.nasa.gov/3SdKz5J #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1571892759400951808#m


A breath of fresh air...11 of them in fact. The MOXIE technology demonstration on @NASAPersevere has completed 11 oxygen generation runs, testing a method that could be used for propellant and for breathing in future crewed Mars exploration missions.

How to drive a Mars rover: On the latest episode of the "On a Mission" podcast, buckle up for a Mars tour with rover driver Vandi Verma. ▶️ https://go.nasa.gov/3Rd0alN #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1562832198540988416#m


In a remarkable feat of sharp shooting 10 years ago today, a powerful camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured @MarsCuriosity in the act of descending to the surface beneath its parachute. https://go.nasa.gov/3SGK0Tl #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1555591814060466176#m


A ridge line, perhaps marking the path of an ancient, inverted channel, rises among dunes in this view from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The area shown is about half a mile (about a kilometer) across. Details: https://go.nasa.gov/3oOAboy #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1554948893875396609#m


If you're up after midnight (your local time) during the next few days, watch for Mars rising in the east near the Pleiades star cluster. On the 19th, the Moon will join them.

How it started / how it's going Left: one of @MarsCuriosity's first images, taken 10 years ago, showing the flat landing area in Gale Crater, with Mt. Sharp in the distance. Right: a view taken yesterday from the slopes of the mountain. All raw images: https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/raw-images #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1555604811009036288#m


We see Martian dust devils (whirlwinds) from the ground, as in this shot from the Opportunity rover in 2016, left. From space, we can see the tracks they leave behind, as in this view of dunes from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009, right.

Our MAVEN orbiter has observed a Martian light show caused by a major solar storm – and there could be more to come. The findings inform space weather forecasting, which is critical to protect current and future missions at the Red Planet.

The @NASAPersevere rover will establish the first sample depot on Mars. Part of a joint @nasa/@ESA campaign to return the first samples from another planet to Earth, the depot will be located near the base of an ancient river delta in Jezero Crater. https://go.nasa.gov/3SKB662 #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1586012429032443904#m


Reminder: recommend students in grades 6-12 who have overcome academic obstacles to be recognized by @NASAPersevere. The nomination window closes on Oct. 31. https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/got-perseverance/ #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1585772979312480258#m


Felt that one! When a giant meteoroid struck Mars, the seismometer aboard our @NASAInSight lander sensed it – and our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has the visual evidence. See more about how the robotic explorers teamed up to capture the moment: https://go.nasa.gov/3WbKiD6 #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1585696413341560832#m


A @NASA_Langley team played hide-and-seek on land and sea to practice recovery of a lemon-sized data recorder that will splash down in the Pacific Ocean as part of the upcoming flight test of an inflatable heat shield that could help land humans on Mars: https://go.nasa.gov/3s6OHJI #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1582834802985615361#m


After journeying through a narrow pass, @MarsCuriosity has arrived at a long-sought region of Mt. Sharp enriched with salty minerals – tantalizing clues as to how the Red Planet’s climate changed from being more Earth-like to the frozen desert it is today. https://go.nasa.gov/3TgNvzA #NASAMars http://nitter.net/NASAMars/status/1582849685592498186#m


Before you can drive, first you have to fly: Before a rover can begin to make wheel prints on the Red Planet, it first has to make the harrowing journey from Earth to Mars.
