  1. @gdgtfreak Dormant on the surface of Mars, yes. But loads of good science still being discerned from the data Ireturned.
  2. RT @MarsRovers: 1 hour til start of live vidchat w/ rover team working to free Spirit. Join w/ your questions 6p EDT http://ustre.am/25IX
  3. A warmer, wetter Mars? Peer-reviewed science from my mission, published 2day, points to Martian climate cycles. Read: http://bit.ly/11JTjk
  4. @BekahLouTaylor Yes, Curiosity is on as @marssciencelab.
  5. @DavidWheelerPhD Here's the full view of Phoenix from HiRise. You can download JPG or TIFF: http://bit.ly/32mQe
  6. @vmbstudios No, but the angle makes it look that way. I was flying 20 kilometers in front of the crater & went right by it.
  7. @CosmicRami There was a 15 minute signal delay on landing day. Mission controllers go by "ERT" (Earth Receive Time).
  8. A few questions asking how the two rovers Spirit and Opportunity are doing. You can follow them at @MarsRovers.
  9. RT HiRISE 1 yr ago 2day, we took this amazing image of @MarsPhoenix descending through the Martian atmosphere: http://tinyurl.com/p2e6h4

  16. 1yr ago 2day: Peak heating in 40 seconds! Heat and energy generated by atmospheric entry would power 280,000 homes.
