What would Mars look like from a future orbiting astronaut's POV? The Odyssey orbiter captured its first images of the Red Planet’s curving horizon and layers of atmosphere, similar to the @Space_Station’s view of Earth. More on these new images: go.nasa.gov/3GinHhC

One of the 1st images of Mars ever captured, thanks to our Mariner 4 mission. Launched #OTD in 1964, Mariner 4 gave humanity its initial views of the Red Planet & identified signs that water may’ve once flowed on the surface – information that shaped all Mars missions to follow

Happy launchiversary, @MarsCuriosity! Our 12-year-old explorer continues to amaze with nearly 1.1 million stunning images and ongoing data to help us better understand the Red Planet's ancient past. See the latest: mars.nasa.gov/msl twitter.com/MarsCuriosity/…

On this fifth anniversary of InSight landing on Mars, we’re celebrating its many accomplishments: detecting the first “Marsquakes,” studying Martian weather, and finding more clues about the planet’s watery past. More on InSight’s many discoveries: go.nasa.gov/40Pfdbp

The best of both worlds 🚁 As the experimental Ingenuity helicopter soars to new heights and airspeed records on Mars, next-generation Mars helicopter tests progress on Earth in @NASAJPL’s space simulator. Read more: go.nasa.gov/47Lzocw

It's our 10th launch-iversary! A decade ago, @NASAMars MAVEN mission launched and began its epic journey to Mars. To celebrate, we’re initiating a new T-minus 10 countdown of stories about what MAVEN team members remember from that special day. lasp.colorado.edu/maven/2023/11/…

@NASAPersevere See @NASAPersevere’s rock collection: go.nasa.gov/3QZ5Jqt

This sample collected by @NASAPersevere contains minerals that can inform scientists about the history of water and rocks throughout the Jezero Crater watershed. #MarsSampleReturn could bring samples, including this one, to Earth for further study.

.@MAVEN2Mars has lots to celebrate this week! The spacecraft just hit 20,000 orbits around Mars, and Nov. 18 will mark its 10-year launch-iversary. 🎉 MAVEN continues its mission analyzing Mars’ climate history. Learn more: mars.nasa.gov/maven twitter.com/MAVEN2Mars/sta…

While Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the Sun for two weeks, we have limited communication with spacecraft. See how our robotic explorers will stay productive during this biannual event known as solar conjunction: go.nasa.gov/47uClxT

A little more than 10 flights ago, Ingenuity performed its first emergency landing on the Red Planet - but the #MarsHelicopter did it flawlessly. Read the full story from the helicopter's chief engineer ⬇️ go.nasa.gov/3sdK04R

.@MarsCuriosity just clocked 4,000 Martian days! The time-tested rover remains strong while conducting exciting science and exploring Gale Crater, despite wear and tear from its 11-year journey. Catch up on the latest from our robotic geologist: go.nasa.gov/47iX6fH

Join citizen science volunteers who are studying telltale patterns of Martian clouds in 16+ years of data collected by the Mars Climate Sounder on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Learn more about the Cloudspotting on Mars project and how you can get involved: twitter.com/DoNASAScience/…

Is your name on the surface of Mars aboard @NASAPersevere, @MarsCuriosity, or @NASAInSight? DYK you can #SendYourName even farther, all the way to Jupiter’s icy moon Europa? Here's how to get your name engraved on the @EuropaClipper spacecraft: go.nasa.gov/3s6DaxT

My MOXIE instrument was named one of TIME’s best inventions of 2023. Designed to generate oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, future explorers could use tech like this for rocket fuel and breathable air. More info: go.nasa.gov/3tWEdRj

A new public mapping tool could help @NASA locate subsurface water ice on Mars. Scientists have identified the likeliest places to find Martian ice that could be accessed from the surface by future missions–both human and robotic. More info: go.nasa.gov/45UYjck

@NASA The spacecraft occasionally sends us postcards of the Martian surface. See recent images: go.nasa.gov/409h76c

Since entering orbit in 2001, Odyssey has become @NASA’s longest-lived Mars mission. Its many accomplishments include locating water ice, assessing landing sites for other missions, and studying the planet’s mysterious moons.

@NASAPersevere Hear more sounds of Mars: mars.nasa.gov/mars-sounds

How do sounds on Mars differ from sounds on Earth? From wind gusts to the crunching of Martian soil under rover wheels, tune in to some recordings from the two microphones aboard @NASAPersevere. 🎧

@NASAPersevere Solar eclipse fans will soon witness the annular eclipse across the Americas on Oct. 14. Track it here: go.nasa.gov/3LGvQQ8

#DYK? A #SolarEclipse can happen on Mars too! Last year, @NASAPersevere captured Phobos, a moon of Mars, eclipsing the Sun. This is the highest-quality imaging of a Martian solar eclipse taken from the Red Planet.

Ingenuity successfully completed 60 flights on Mars, going higher and farther than anyone could have ever imagined. To celebrate this milestone, send a message or strike a pose with the #MarsHelicopter 👇 💌 Send a postcard: go.nasa.gov/3ESToND 📸 Take a photo:… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The Mars Ascent Vehicle could be the first rocket to launch off the surface of Mars, as part of #MarsSampleReturn. 3D scale models were recently tested inside @NASA_Marshall’s wind tunnel to better understand the dynamics of the vehicle’s design. Read: go.nasa.gov/3rk7d4S

I used my self-driving smarts to tackle a rocky road head on–literally. I drove through this maze of large rocks using my AutoNav software and did it in about a third of the time. Read more about smarter driving: go.nasa.gov/3Lys3V3

A fellow rock hunter of a different type – #OSIRISREx is bringing @NASA’s first asteroid samples to Earth. Watch live coverage of the capsule’s return this Sunday, Sept. 24: nasa.gov/nasalive #ToBennuAndBack

Did life ever exist on Mars? That’s just one of the big questions that @NASAPersevere’s unique rock collection could help scientists answer in the future. 👇

MOXIE, an oxygen-producing instrument on @NASAPersevere, has successfully completed its Mars mission. The tech demo successfully tested converting Martian CO2 into oxygen, which could help pave the way for future human missions to Mars. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3LeOzSG

The #MarsRoverTour lands in #Huntsville this weekend at @RocketCenterUSA. Meet mission experts from @NASAJPL and @NASA_Marshall, and check out full-scale models of @NASAPersevere, #MarsHelicopter, and the first rocket for launching from Mars! 🚀 go.nasa.gov/marsrovertour
