Meet another of the Mars samples that could be brought to Earth by #MarsSampleReturn. Hear from one of @NASAPersevere’s scientists about “Roubion,” the planned rock core that turned out to be something else entirely!

Was there ever life on Mars? 🔴

The samples @NASAPersevere is collecting as part of the #MarsSampleReturn campaign could hold the answer. See why one NASA scientist is especially excited about the samples taken from “Wildcat Ridge.”

If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been busy in the last few weeks, setting down some very special items for possible return to Earth via #MarsSampleReturn.

How many lightsab…I mean sample tubes can you spot in my latest selfie?🔍

Another tube drop makes eight out of 10!

Reminder: this set I’m dropping is a backup. Plan A: I deliver the samples I’m still carrying (and others still to come) directly to #MarsSampleReturn. But if I can’t, this set alone would be worth sending back. https://mars.nasa.gov/msr

Since I collected samples in this area about six months ago, my team’s been really excited about the possibility of bringing them back with #MarsSampleReturn.

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!

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

Up ahead: “Three Forks.” The spot where I’ll drop a set of samples that the #MarsSampleReturn missions could bring back to Earth for closer study. This first set is full of diverse rocks that could help answer if life ever arose here.
