Working on the light gas gun today with @Amy_R_Dugdale ☄️🔫
Here she is rotating the gun to fire vertically - imo this is the coolest bit of the prep for firing because you can really see the scale of the equipment 💪

When I landed on Mars 10 years ago, I aimed to answer an important question: Could Mars have supported ancient life? After some careful analysis, the scientists on my team say yes! So, what does that mean? Hear more about that from my Deputy Project Scientist Abigail Fraeman.

Here's a GIF of #JWST from images I took last night with @PirateOU! Very cool to see it moving across the star field on its way to L2. 225 x 20s exposures in the Luminance filter with the CDK24. @OU_SPS @OpenUniversity @OUGradSch #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope

I’m on the move! Just took my first test drive on Mars, covering about 16 feet (5 meters). You’re looking at the very beginning of my wheel tracks. Many more to make.
