My collection is growing! 🪨 I’ve now got my 15th rock core: a nice piece of sandstone.

Up next, I’m heading back to a nearby dune to break out a new tool – my regolith collection bit – for gathering loose, sandy material. #SamplingMars continues…

It was a challenge, but we persevered. Thankful for my team back at @NASAJPL, who helped me troubleshoot and successfully seal my sample tube for rock core #14. Three cheers for interplanetary teamwork! 🦾💪

These persevering students have shown they can tackle anything. They’re getting NASA’s “You’ve Got Perseverance” award, including a message from Mars and a chat with my mission team.

Has your student #gotperseverance? Nominate by Dec. 19: http://go.nasa.gov/gotperseverance

Meanwhile back on Earth, the #MarsRoverTour rolls on! Twins of myself and the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter have landed in #Albuquerque, New Mexico. Meet @nasa team members at the exhibit’s grand opening, this weekend at @NMMNHS. #PerseveranceRover


Do I geek out about cool-looking sandstone? You bet. A shallow scouring with my drill’s abrasion bit shows this rock has veins of lighter material inside. Could it hold clues about ancient life? Time for more #SamplingMars. More on “Yori Pass”: http://go.nasa.gov/3AnIv4Q #PerseveranceRover


I’ve got over a dozen rock cores on board, with many more samples to come. Meanwhile, @nasa and @ESA are preparing the extraction team. Check out the bold plan that would bring these samples safely back to Earth in the early 2030s. http://mars.nasa.gov/msr #PerseveranceRover

Still working on a fix to seal my latest rock sample. With my bore sweeping tool, I’m aiming to clean the tube opening to remove any dust preventing the seal. Results look promising, so meanwhile I'm off to explore a new place called “Yori Pass.” Blog: http://go.nasa.gov/3hcSBP0 #PerseveranceRover https://nitter.net/NASAPersevere/status/1588565829842788354#m


After a couple weeks of driving, I’m back at “Enchanted Lake,” scoping out my next potential spot for #SamplingMars. What do these rocks have to say about the earliest history of the lake that used to be here? Let’s find out.
