  1. A warmer, wetter Mars? Peer-reviewed science from my mission, published 2day, points to Martian climate cycles. Read: http://bit.ly/11JTjk
  2. @BekahLouTaylor Yes, Curiosity is on as @marssciencelab.
  3. @DavidWheelerPhD Here's the full view of Phoenix from HiRise. You can download JPG or TIFF: http://bit.ly/32mQe
  4. @vmbstudios No, but the angle makes it look that way. I was flying 20 kilometers in front of the crater & went right by it.
  5. @CosmicRami There was a 15 minute signal delay on landing day. Mission controllers go by "ERT" (Earth Receive Time).
  6. A few questions asking how the two rovers Spirit and Opportunity are doing. You can follow them at @MarsRovers.
  7. RT HiRISE 1 yr ago 2day, we took this amazing image of @MarsPhoenix descending through the Martian atmosphere: http://tinyurl.com/p2e6h4
  8. That concludes the annivesary tweet recap! Here's the amazing landing video: http://bit.ly/epP8l
  9. 1 yr ago today: Cheers! Tears! I'm here!
  10. 1 yr ago today: I've landed!!!!!!!!!!
  11. 1 yr ago today: come on rocketsssss!!!!!
  12. 1yr ago today: parachute is open!!!!!
  13. 1yr ago 2day: parachute must open next. my signal still getting to Earth which is AWESOME!
  14. 1yr ago 2day: Peak heating in 40 seconds! Heat and energy generated by atmospheric entry would power 280,000 homes.
  15. 1yr ago 2day: Atmospheric entry has started, time to get REALLY nervous. Now I'm in the "7 minutes of terror."
  16. 1yr ago today: Cruise stage separation, signal acquired!
  17. 1yr ago 2day: Tank pressurization is complete. All is well. Next event is cruise stage separation at 4:39pmPDT
  18. 1yr ago 2day: The last 7 mins are nail biters. See vid at http://tinyurl.com/6ktlu6 Scariest: parachute opening & radar lock on ground.
  19. @chgowiz These reposts are from 1yr ago today. The team will "hail" @MarsPhoenix in late 2009 when Martian spring returns.
  20. 1 yr ago 2day: Entered the gravity well of Mars. My speed, relative to Mars, will go from 6,000 mph to 12,600 mph by time I hit atmosphere.
