… but on Mars, it's just Tuesday.

A 4cm stone about 3.7m away seen through #Perseverance's telescope.

Explorer l’espace sans reproduire les logiques de colonisation terrestre : est-ce possible ? 🚀

Dans cet article de The Conversation, Jacques Arnould, expert éthique du #cnes interroge notre manière d’imaginer l’avenir spatial.

In a similar situation #Curiosity had crashed pure yellow sulfur with one of its wheels. This crashed rock isn't yellow.

#Perseverance turned its SUPERCAM telescope *again* on that very interesting stripped feature it had examined almost a week ago: https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/116231068516638183

#Perseverance's SUPERCAM has been called a Swiss army knife of instruments. Several parts of it, i.e. the laser, telescope, high-resolution camera, microphone, and infrared spectrometer were contributed to the #Mars2020 mission by the French Space Agency, #CNES .

For a good Monday morning start, here is a video animation showing SUPERCAM details:

Depuis 5 ans, le #CNES et l' @irap travaillent main dans la main pour piloter SUPERCAM et analyser les roches et l’atmosphère martiennes.

On vous emmène à la rencontre des équipes !
