The bridge to #LPSC2025 is always a welcome sight.

My first #LPSCHaiku of the week
Quiet poster hall.
Sci tsunami (sci-nami?)
Like carpet, hits hard.

Attached: 1 image With #LPSC2025 about to start, it's time to share what I've been working on during the last months. This is a new high resolution 3D model of the Mont Mercou outcrop, that I made during my recent internship at LPG Nantes. 🧵 #Mars #NASA #Curiosity #MSL #planetaryscience #photogrammetry

Getting Voyager 1 back up and running is one of the coolest engineering fix-it stories ever.
Fraser CainLast November, NASA's Voyager 1 sent home garbled data, and engineers traced the problem to the flight data subsystem (FDS). The problem turned out to be a single chip in the FDS memory. They couldn't repair the chip but could move the affected code into sections and store them in different parts of the FDS system. They tested the new system this week, sending signals to the Voyager 1, 22.5 light-hours away. It worked, and Voyager 1 is back.
On Earth Day today, and indeed on most days, it's good to revisit Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech as it never stops being relevant. Video on this link: http://youtu.be/p86BPM1GV8M. Poster below
