What should
@NASA name the next rover to join me on#Mars? Tell them your favorite of the top nine finalists! The public poll is open through January 27: http://go.nasa.gov/name2020 pic.twitter.com/uqOfM4ZXJkThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
After making good progress in recent weeks, another day of digging on
#Mars leads to the mole backing out by a couple of centimeters. My team keeps pushing forward and is exploring several options.pic.twitter.com/pe2eopDANiThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Is it winter where you are? I bet it’s not as cold as it is on
#Mars: this week’s lows have been down around -144 F (-98 C). Sure am thankful for my cozy thermal blankets! Latest weather from Mars: http://mars.nasa.gov/insight/weather pic.twitter.com/2EFumzfErq

My latest round of hammering with the robotic mole has it heading further in the right direction. I’ll take a rest from digging while my team enjoys a holiday break, and meanwhile keep an ear out for more

Digging a little deeper - The mole has moved further down. With help from
@NASAJPL and@DLR_en, my latest efforts to help the heat probe seem to be working. More digging to come.pic.twitter.com/JumZaqAecYThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Happy “Land-iversary” to me!
Since I arrived at #Mars, I’ve set down instruments and recorded weather, marsquakes and more. It's been quite a year. Of all the things to be thankful for, my hardworking team is at the top of my list!pic.twitter.com/SvtiIaGvuPThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
My mole is on the move again and back to digging. Using my arm to put pressure on the mole from the side has helped it move down ~1.25 inches (~32 millimeters). My
@NASAJPL &@DLR_en team’s efforts to#SaveTheMole continue.pic.twitter.com/ZXo31F5xsiThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
I’ve moved my arm away from the mole to snap pictures of the pit. Lighting at different angles can help show us the material we’re up against within the Martian subsurface.
@NASA and@DLR_en teams are analyzing results.

Encouraging news: after my latest small arm moves, the mole looks to still be stable in the ground. Now I can move my arm again to get some more detailed images of the situation.

Pulling more puzzle pieces together.
This week, my team continues to work the mole status. I’m moving my arm a tiny bit while taking a series of before-and after images. This should help inform our next move. #SaveTheMole#Teamworkpic.twitter.com/jkhCkE1rlD

One possibility observed in testing on Earth is that soil could fall in front of the mole’s tip as it rebounds, gradually filling the hole in front of it as the mole backs out. Team continues to look over the data and will have a plan in the next few days

Mars continues to surprise us. While digging this weekend the mole backed about halfway out of the ground. Preliminary assessment points to unexpected soil properties as the main reason. Team looking at next steps.

The mole is digging deeper into
#Mars thanks to the tremendous efforts by my team. Unofficial depth is ~38 cm down in the ground, almost the length of the mole (40 cm). This may be the last time we see the mole, more drilling later this week.#SaveTheMole#DiggingMarspic.twitter.com/c1sZsGSLxjThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
ICYMI: The mole is on the move. This video recaps our latest heat probe recovery efforts. We still have a long way to go.

I’m focused
and in focus.
You can share in the vastness of my home with this latest image taken by @HiRISE on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. It’s the clearest of me to date. You can see my solar panels, seismometer and long dust-devil tracks. More: http://go.nasa.gov/2VNTQFM pic.twitter.com/xTpo4BnIvAThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
With an assist from my robotic arm, the mole is digging again! We are just starting this new campaign, and are hopeful we can continue to dig.

Uncharted territory - Adding pressure on the mole with the arm scoop appears to be helping. Using my arm in creative ways to get the job done. More to come as my team studies initial hammering test results.pic.twitter.com/2wZccP1uMn

My heat probe recovery efforts continue…
I’m going to use my scoop to push sideways on the mole, “pinning” it against the soil wall. This may help it get more traction to start digging again. More details: http://go.nasa.gov/2OhxNFz pic.twitter.com/nWP0ekTuEE

Out now! Check out the bonus episode of the "On a Mission" podcast. Hear from my team what I’ve been up to since I landed on the serene plains of the Red Planet. http://go.nasa.gov/2nFsZyT pic.twitter.com/dp9Jm3HNnu

Martian sounds alert! I’m equipped with a very sensitive “ear.” My seismometer has been listening for
#marsquakes and has picked up other interesting signals as well. Grab your headphones and take a listen.
