On this day 2 years ago, “Touchdown Confirmed!!” #CountdownToMars #MarsPerseverance #Mars2020 landed on the surface of #Mars

After all the camera recording of entry descent and landing was beamed back to #JPL, they made this landing reconstruction video.

My S.O. is part of radar team so there was a biiiig “yessssss!!!” at the moment of “radar lock” in this sequence.

🥹😭 recalling the days deep in pandemic (work remotely) when this happened. #DareMightyThings

I’m part of a proud lineage of robotic explorers, carrying the torch forward on Mars. This plaque I carry pays tribute to those who’ve gone before me, and to new possibilities ahead.

Scan this image for the various pieces of my landing system, which did their jobs perfectly before coming to rest on Mars. Teams of experts poured years of work into each one. My safe landing is what tells you they nailed it.

Every picture tells a story. This one captures me in midair, floating over Mars while hanging from my parachute during the final #CountdownToMars.

To mark @NASA's #CountdownToMars here are the movements of the planets, including Mars, in a medieval manuscript compiled @durhamcathedral around 1125. This graph uses the calculations of Abbo of Fleury who died in 1004. 📷 MS Hunter 100, fol. 66r.
