A beleaguered Mars rover could’ve ended up in a museum when the Ukraine war suspended launch AGAIN, but new funds are keeping it alive. Read my first for @KnowableMag and learn about the instrument aboard--the mass spectrometer--that’s the linchpin of a strategy to find signs of life on Mars. knowablemagazine.org/article/p

Is there a place on Mars that is similar to El Tatio? Yes, the Columbia Hills!

We have found silica sinter on Mars, but we don’t know what’s inside to check if there are lipids inside!

What’s next though?

The mission will hopefully tell us more in 2028! Stay tuned!! 🤩

… and with that, we made it! I want to thank Pablo here again.

Pro tip for everyone reading along: If you have the chance to invite Pablo to give a talk, do it! He’s an amazing speaker!!!

Five more years of waiting.
Remember doing some for the , interviewing the Project Scientist, the wonderful Jorge Vago...if I ever see landing on one day I will weep.

Finished my first science working team meeting with and . There’s so much science still produced by both missions, I can’t believe there’s a possibility that both these missions stop science operations next year. It would be such a waste!

Le lancement est désormais prévu en 2028 (au lieu de 2018 initialement, avant un report à 2020 puis 2022).

Le rover Rosalind Franklin de la mission vient d'être sauvé au cours du conseil ministériel de l'ESA. La mission a été suspendue en début d'année (à juste titre) suite à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. La Russie fournissait le lanceur et la plateforme d'atterrissage.

Quand j'écris "sauvé" ça signifie que le report est financé...
