Today is a good day. It feels like spring outside, I’ve finished two draft deliverables, and I had the opportunity to recommend *two* brilliant colleagues for positions #seniorprofessionalgoals #payitforward

Oh and my *two* sons are both home today! It may be pi day, but two seems to be number

Opportunity's Last Look @NASA declared the @MarsRovers mission complete in February, but the final image has just been processed. Check out annotated and interactive full-resolution versions of the panorama at go.nasa.gov/2F7JWbn

Re Europa Clipper on a commercial rocket, not SLS, that's not news. NASA said the same thing in its budget request last year. Congress nevertheless directed that it be launched on SLS. And last year NASA said launch in 2025. This year it's 2023, also as required by law.

The budget request covers JWST, but zeroes out @NASAWFIRST and #STEM engagement, among other puts and takes.

Let's keep finding ways to make "failure" a synonym for "failure is just data" and "still working on it, because I am determined and this thing is worth it!"

In honor of #InternationalWomensDay : the women of the @MAVEN2Mars team. Overall still the best team I’ve worked with and—probably not coincidentally—the one w the most women

Feed your brain with space facts this #NationalCerealDay. 🥣 "Cereal" is derived from Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain. Ceres is also the name of the dwarf planet explored by @NASA_Dawn. go.nasa.gov/2C8Q2Gl

#MAVEN today performed an aerobraking maneuver (0.2 m/s ∆V) to decrease the periapsis (lowest) altitude by 1.2 km. MAVEN’s periapsis altitude is now 125.5 km and the apoapsis (highest) altitude is 5,400 km. The density of #Mars' atmosphere at periapsis is 3.4 kg/km³.

Pro tip: When asking a question at a conference, don’t start with “Did you think of...?” That implies you know more than the expert on their subject. Instead try, “Could you say more about...?”
Congratulations to @cesareguari whose paper on Intelligent Architecting of Aerospace Systems-of-Systems was selected as best paper in the Management, Systems Engineering, and Cost Track of #IEEEAerospace2019

Shout out to @MIT student #MeganOchalek on her terrific presentation on Lattice-Based Reconfigurable Structures at #IEEEAerospace2019
Phew! 😅 What a thorough arm workout. I’ve released my heat flow probe on #Mars, and now I can check “instrument placement” off my to-do list. Lots of insightful science ahead.✨

SpaceIL’s Beresheet lander has separated from the upper stage. If all goes as planned, it will attempt to land on the Moon April 11.
