TROPICS Launch Update! 🚀

@RocketLab
A weather front is headed toward LC-1, so we’re pushing lift-off a few days to the right for the #RocketLikeAHurricane launch to deploy the @NASA TROPICS satellites. We’ll assess the weather as it evolves over the weekend and confirm the new target date soon. 🌧️🌬️🚀

After more than 4 years of collecting science on Mars, it’s time to say farewell. InSight will always hold a special place in our hearts as the first launch to another planet from the West Coast!💕🚀
The United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with the NASA InSight spacecraft onboard is seen from a low angle on the launch pad shortly before liftoff.
Artist rendering of the Insight lander on the surface of Mars. The sun can be seen peaking over the red planet's edge casting an orange glow. InSight's probe has been drilled down below the surface.

An animated image sequence of several photos from NASA's InSight lander shows a sunset on Mars, with part of the spacecraft's boxy, metal robotic arm visible in the top center of the image. Over several frames, the grayish-tan sky dims over a darkened, flat desert landscape as the distant sun dips behind the horizon. The sun appears as an off-white dot in the right bottom corner of the image sequence.

Rest easy, little lander ❤ @NASAInSight's mission has ended after more than four years of detecting marsquakes, meteoroid impacts, and unique science on Mars. Congratulations - and thank you - to the team that made these pioneering discoveries possible. go.nasa.gov/3YRyJ5E

A powerful Earth-observing satellite is coming together! The @NASA-@ISRO NISAR mission is currently in assembly and testing in Bengaluru, India. Set for launch in 2024, NISAR will study Earth's changing land and ice surfaces. go.nasa.gov/43q7Re1
A vertical image shows the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) sitting in a clean room at the U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, India. A silver crane with straps attached to a gold-colored cylindrical radar payload is shown in the center of the image. The crane is aligning the payload with the bus, or main body, of the satellite. The square-shaped bus is covered in blue protective blanketing. The clean room is mostly white, with dark windows to the left of the image and smaller ones toward the right. About 10 people in white frocks are surrounding the integration, some are up on a platform where the bus is located and others are below, watching from afar.
An image shows the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) sitting in a clean room at the U R Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru, India. The room is mostly white with a large window in the background and six people in white frocks throughout the room. In the center is a square-shaped bus, the main body of NISAR, which is covered in blue protective blanketing. Attached to it and sticking out toward the right is a gold-colored cylindrical radar payload. Together, the pieces create the NISAR satellite.

1 day til impact!🛰️🪨 After DART's final maneuver today, the navigation team will know the position of the target asteroid within 2 km. From there, DART will be on its own to autonomously guide itself to collision. #DARTMission will make impact Mon, Sep. 26, 2022 at 7:14pm EDT.
