Has it really been more than two weeks already? Guess we will call this a #latergram  - What an incredible honor to be able to photograph the amazing talent at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as the Perseverance Mars rover touched down on Mars and sent back the first images (which would pale in comparison to what was to come just a few days later!) . SWIPE ⬅️ to see all! . Perseverance flight director Magdy Bareh moves the final marble from the Perseverance Mars rover Earth launch jar to the Mars landing jar in a conference room of the Mission Support Area (MSA) Thursday, Feb. 18, 2021, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The Perseverance Mars rover team has been moving one marble a day since launch from jar to jar. A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.

The International Space Station, with a crew of five onboard, is seen in this 10 second exposure above comet NEOWISE, Saturday, July 18, 2020 from Keys Gap, W.Va. The comet was discovered by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or NEOWISE, on March 27. Since then, the comet — called comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE and nicknamed comet NEOWISE — has been spotted by several NASA spacecraft, including Parker Solar Probe, NASA’s Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, and astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Onboard the International Space Station are Expedition 63 NASA astronauts Chris Cassidy, Douglas Hurley, Robert Behnken, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner.  Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls) @nasa @iss @nasaastronauts @astro.doug @astro_seal #billingalls #cometneowise #cometneowise2020 ☄️ 💫 #westvirgina #keysgap #space @nasasolarsystem @nasaearth @explorenasa @nasa @roscosmosofficial @gctc_official https://www.instagram.com/p/CCzsqZ_lZsV/?igshid=nw0k4s2n87j0

My not so instant-gram. From the May 30 launch. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft is launched from Launch Complex 39A on NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley onboard, Saturday, May 30, 2020, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Demo-2 mission is the first launch with astronauts of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The test flight serves as an end-to-end demonstration of SpaceX’s crew transportation system. Behnken and Hurley launched at 3:22 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30, from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. A new era of human spaceflight is set to begin as American astronauts once again launch on an American rocket from American soil to low-Earth orbit for the first time since the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011.

#OTD 8 years ago - It appeared that New Yorkers were not going to be able to see the transit of the planet Venus across the Sun, but just before the transit was over the sun broke through the clouds and Liz Heller and Andriel Mesznik of New York were able to catch a glimpse of the transit on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 in New York.  A transit of Venus occurs when the planet passes directly between the sun and earth.  This alignment is rare, coming in pairs that are eight years apart but separated by over a century.  The next Venus transit will be in December 2117.  Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls) @nasa @nasasolarsystem @nasagoddard #billingalls #newyorkcity #nyc #venus #transit #sun #solar #otd (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDTiauljas/?igshid=d4b8ul4gbh4s

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Annie Glenn, widow of former astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn. She, and Senator Glenn, were always so kind and generous. The type of people that when you engaged them in conversation you could tell they were listening and paying attention, not spending the time thinking of what they would say next as you talked. A rare thing to find in Washington. . . Sen. John Glenn and his wife Annie listen to speakers during a reception at Ohio State University honoring the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's historic flight aboard Friendship 7 Monday, Feb. 20, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio. Glenn was the first American to orbit Earth.  Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls) (201202200037_cropped) . . . . #annieglenn #ohio #100 #johnglenn #theohiostateuniversity #rip #godspeedannieglenn @nasa #billingalls https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYTxwyl0Q6/?igshid=1rttw67bx5bsi

Happy Cosmonautics Day! Business end of the Soyuz rocket. This frame was made as the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft was being attached to the rocket booster in the integration facility April 12, 2005 in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. The rocket mating was in preparation for the April 15, 2005 launch of Expedition 11 Sergei Krikalev of Russia, Flight Engineer John Phillips of NASA and European Space Agency Astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italy to the International Space Station. Krikalev and Phillips spent six months in space and greeted the first Shuttle crew to fly in more than two years after arriving at the Station, while Vittori spent eight days on the Station under a commercial contract between ESA and the Russian Federal Space Agency. The rocket mating operation occurred on the 44th anniversary of the launch of Yuri Gagarin from the same complex to become the first human in space.

Boeing, NASA, and U.S. Army personnel work around the Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft shortly after it landed in White Sands, New Mexico, Sunday, Dec. 22, 2019. The landing completes an abbreviated Orbital Flight Test for the company that still meets several mission objectives for NASA’s Commercial Crew program. The Starliner spacecraft launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 6:36 a.m. Friday, Dec. 20 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

#OTD - The United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket with NASA’s Orion spacecraft mounted atop, lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Space Launch Complex 37 at at 7:05 a.m. EST, Friday, Dec. 5, 2014, in Florida. The Orion spacecraft will orbit Earth twice, reaching an altitude of approximately 3,600 miles above Earth before landing in the Pacific Ocean. No one is aboard Orion for this flight test, but the spacecraft is designed to allow us to journey to destinations never before visited by humans, including an asteroid and Mars.
