  1. This feeling of everything being abandoned or falling apart under the fascist chainsaw in the so called "space economy" for billionaires

    At least the #Mars2020 Analyst's Notebook got updated on April 7, 2026, with data up to Sol 1739 (solar conjunction), so, enjoy it while it lasts…

    The 3rd image (from the Analyst's Notebook) shows the effect the loss of MAVEN had on #Perseverance's operations when it happened, early last December.

  3. Meanwhile #Perseverance, a manifestation of what the #US has been capable of achieving in the space frontier when led by serious people, gives us a good reason to be positive about #America's 250th birthday on this 4th of July.

  7. A change of plans?

    #Perseverance's team appears to have changed their mind and had the rover make a sharp turn toward the east.

    Which, I speculate, seems to indicate an intention to return to the planned route. And I back this speculation with a prediction for the path (white dense-stitched line) 🤓

  9. «Using a Raman spectrometer onboard the Perseverance rover, we report the […] most robust organic detection in Jezero crater thus far, and, to our knowledge, the only detection of macromolecular carbon on a natural rock surface on Mars.»

    Was it life? We may never know.

    #SpaceEconomy for billionaires killed the Mars Sample Return (#MSR) mission to subsidize pipe dreams for space colonization.

  11. Just as we (well, I) thought that #Perseverance was headed back to the planned route, its team decided it should have another go at that rugged terrain west of Lac De Charmes.

  13. These days my only chance at beating @mapperwocky (of #NASA / #JPL) to localizing #Perseverance is on weekends, and that's only with lots of luck. Not considering (my guessy) accuracy, of course.

    New location and a new site RMC 89.0000 on Sol 1897.

  15. Weekend traveler #Perseverance has set course to get back to the planned (dashed) route, it seems.

    New location, Sol: 1896, RMC: 88.5126. The path shown is a guess. Map made using #QGIS, #NASA's #MMGIS, #HiRISE and #USGS

  17. No love for yestersol's flat rocks. Tosol finds #Perseverance in a sea of pointy rocks. Rough times…

    The path shown is a guess. Contours are meters of elevation relative to the rover's landing location.

  19. It's Monday on Terra, 02:25 LMST and Lₛ 301.4 on Mars, and this morning finds #Perseverance at a new location ~256m to the SW of yestersol's location.

    Mars doesn't have a calendar yet AFAIK, so it must be Monday there too. Dealing with calendars is going to be a lot of "fun" if ever humans live on other planets.

    Used #QGIS to make the map, with data from #NASA's #MMGIS and #USGS.
