Learn about Jenny Whitten, Associate Deputy PI for VERITAS youtu.be/o9oELZiDT4U. A new release for our series of videos about the team members for the NASA mission to Venus, currently scheduled for 2031 launch. Playlist of previous releases in the comments. Please share.

@TrevorFromEarth At least for Cycle 1, I think JPL already has as part of generating stereo-derived topo from the swath overlaps. They just have never released the data. The FMAPs were much better, with more data, than the MIDRs, but that's still 30 year-old processing.

Someone really needs to re-do the Magellan mosaics. They're a total mess. And there's lots of data that's straight up not included.

Meet VERITAS mission to Venus Gravity Team Co-Leader Erwan Mazarico youtu.be/fqjR5ncjSWk. This is one of a series of interviews to be released, conducted by summer interns, that give the personal story of science team members and their role in the mission. Please share

Here's a nice description of my friend Bob Grimm's instrument currently on its way to the moon to study its interior with the first planetary deployment of a magnetotelluric instrument: youtu.be/RjizBdB7YXg. Yes, he tells you what "magnetotelluric" means.

The interviews were conducted and edited by two undergraduate interns at Pasadena City College, Andrew Song and Amir Malik, as part of the SOAR program, a partnership between PCC and the VERITAS mission. Enjoy.

Meet VERITAS mission to Venus leader, PI Sue Smrekar: youtu.be/BZtkrN6hfxQ. This is the first of a series of videos to be released every ~2 weeks giving the personal story of science team members and their role on the mission. Please share.

Please spread the word. In an effort led by Anna, VEXAG has collected and described available data and resources about Venus, hopefully in a way useful especially for new Venus researchers. Suggestions welcome. lpi.usra.edu/vexag/resource…

@SueSmrekar @ThePlanetaryGuy You were great! You looked pretty chilly, my wife thought she could see you shivering.

@robertrherrick @ThePlanetaryGuy Ditto!

The NOVA episode I was interviewed for airs tomorrow! pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vide…. I have not seen the final product, so I hope I was not left on the cutting room floor. I hear @ThePlanetaryGuy in the trailer so I know he's in the episode.

@SueSmrekar Grad student, visited JPL for 6 wks during mission. They had a b&w printer & would print ~2" wide strips of the range-azimuth data for each orbital swath, an ~100' strip. These would be tacked up around the walls of a work room, and that was how we got to first see the data.

30 years ago today, the Magellan spacecraft came to a violent end in Venus’ atmosphere. Did you work on Magellan? Share your story! As a grad student I did simulations of what we might expect to see revealed in the global gravity field.

@ExoCytherean Are you saying you've received negative reviews on a journal submission? What's that like? Most reviews I receive end with xxoo.

Have you ever found yourself speaking with a rather antagonistic person at a conference, and had a sudden epiphany that you're interacting directly with Reviewer #2?

@Planetguy_Bln @esa Congratulations Jörn and best wishes!

Time for a big announcement: I will join @esa as the new Head of the Solar System Section. I'm thrilled about working in the Science Engagement office of the Science Directorate and look forward to the new and exciting adventure. Catch me at ESTEC from Jan 15 2025 on.

Nadine #Barlow, who sadly passed away 4 years ago just got a #crater on #Mars named after her. I never met her, but I really enjoyed reading a bunch of her papers on crater morphology. She also gave a positive review on my first first-author paper. planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/16344 1/2

@ExoCytherean @ThePlanetaryGuy @PlanetaryAnna @GeoJGO We're going to check it out as a family tomorrow night. I can't wait to see everyone in it!

@robertrherrick @ThePlanetaryGuy @PlanetaryAnna @GeoJGO Yes, I thought they would notify us as well. Apparently not! There's an excellent extended piece in the middle of the episode all about you and your work Robbie!

It's out! imdb.com/title/tt323992… @ThePlanetaryGuy @PlanetaryAnna @GeoJGO ... goddamn we look awesome! 😃
