New Europa images from the #Juno spacecraft. It’s good to know you’re still out there and healthy, old friend. We’ll come visit you again in about a decade. @EuropaClipper #PI_Daily
We are thinking about ways to involve more postdocs and junior faculty in the @MissionToPsyche science team.
What ideas do you have?
Some goals: Increase familiarity with missions, inspire new science
Some constraints: Data security, bandwidth for mentorship, $

#PI_Daily This is a big week for @NewHorizons2015 because we’re kicking off writing of our next extended mission proposal to #NASA!.\ #Science #Space
#PI_Daily We’re planning a new @NewHorizons2015 instrument flight software upgrade, for our PEPSSI high energy particle spectrometer. Can’t wait to get this under way! #NASA #Space #Science
#PI_Daily Spaceflight is a team sport! And on the 18th (Saturday) our team will celebrate the amazing achievement of crossing the 50 Astronomical Units distance marker— 50x as far from the Sun as Earth is! Go @NewHorizons2015 team! #NASA #Space #Science
It's @MissionToPsyche Super Tuesday!

Seemingly unrelated jobs today...
- Launch MSRR. Ever think abt how launch vehicle releases s/c w no angular momentum in any axis?
- Organizing papers about mission for pre-launch
- Awaiting NASA HQ's budget deliberations (they've got the really hard work now)
#PI_Daily As @NewHorizons2015 explores outward in the Kuiper Belt, one of my jobs as mission PI is called “fuel hoarder in chief,” making sure we husband the one resource we cannot refill— our fuel. No activity that uses fuel can be scheduled without approval.
#PI_Daily @NASA @NASAPersevere @NewHorizons2015 watched your launch, congratulations to you and all of your amazing team— WELCOME TO SPACE! #space #Science
An extensive and lengthy @CometIntercept telecon with colleagues at ESA today.
Also a very pleasant surprise to find our mission logo adorning the background of the @RoyalMailStamps set celebrating the 200th anniversary of the @RoyalAstroSoc ! #PI_Daily https://t.co/p1bX5UZmx0
