Launch window for @LunarTrailblazr opens today! 🚀🌚 Immensely proud of our team and looking forward to getting underway to map water on the Moon. Launching along with IM-2/SpaceX, separating ~48min after launch. @NASA coverage starts 6:30pm ET #PI_daily

🚀🌙 @NASA’s Lunar Trailblazer mission is ready to live up to its name! The small satellite is riding along on @Int_Machines’ IM-2 launch, part of NASA’s CLPS initiative, which is slated to launch no earlier than Feb. 26. 🧵Check out this thread to learn more about the mission!

Congrats to @Caltech @EhlmannLab alum Dr. Ellen Leask on her important findings for Mars history: sulfates connected with basin volcanoes, large ash deposits, late history saline waters -- Terra Sirenum holds an amazing record of Mars climate! Check out the paper 👇

Former @Caltech @EhlmannLab postdoc Lucia Mandon traces more oxidized minerals in part of the Jezero crater delta relative to the floor or later rocks seen by @NASAPersevere in the upper delta

New paper from @Caltech @EhlmannLab grad student Yu Yu Phua et al shows the hydration state of sulfates in Mars rocks seen by @NASAPersevere. More dehydrated than @MarsCuriosity rocks (weird), and phases found indicate salty fluids for at least some of the waters in Jezero crater

This week, we have a plot demonstrating the spectral diversity of the rocks that the Perseverance rover has encountered in Jezero Crater. These spectra show variable iron mineralogy which indicates strong oxidative water-rock interactions in the Jezero delta deposits. (1/2)
