Three cheers for two awards & one great team! My mission won the NAA Collier & @AIAA Foundation awards

License to Drill: Engineering cam view of my arm poised over 2nd Mars drilling target

Driven to Drill: Two short drives & 3.8 meters later, I'm zeroing in on my second Mars drilling target

@komiga @gameproducer The "joystick" is a camera calibration target & sundial. RAD radiation detector is on my deck

Can you hear me now? Conjunction is over. I have a clear view of Earth & am back to work! New engineering pic

@NarekMavis Here's a shot from tosol (sol 227) of ChemCam laser pulses next to a drill mark

@elliotkd Why certainly

The real deal! First drilling on Mars to collect a sample for SCIENCE is a success. http://bit.ly/W7EqY0

Lookie what I did! It's a hole in 1 rock on Mars. This "mini drill" was a test, more to come! http://bit.ly/11sLZ1s

Among team members in #inaug2013 parade was Flight Dir Bobak Ferdowsi aka Mohawk Guy. I approve of the 'do!

My double is ready to roll in #inaug2013 parade with @NASA & @NASAJPL mission team members.

@JimFraeErskine The motion of the dust removal tool (pictured here on the right) left the circular pattern

Get... that... dirt off your boulder... See first use of my dust removal tool on Mars:

Here's the view from "Grandma's House," my home for the solidays (holisols?). Wish you were here!

Greetings from Yellowknife Bay! Investigating new terrain & looking for the right rock to drill

The journey of 352,000,000 miles begins with a single launch. One year ago today, I left Earth for Mars

Rock & Roll! On Friday, I had my 1st drive in 6 weeks & got to a new science target. See my tracks:
