🌌 When we study different types of exoplanets — planets outside our solar system — we use lots of descriptors. But what do we mean by "hot Jupiters," "warm Neptunes," and "super-Earths?" Dive into how we use these terms and why they're important: https://t.co/8Zyvu5NQ14 https://t.co/qd2MESXHn4 — PolitiTweet.org

@NASA Q: How dose the helicopter work on a planet with no atmosphere? #MarsHelicopter - @ErwynIsaac A: 🎙️ Thank you all for the great questions! A final answer from @Dr_ThomasZ to wrap up our Q&A: https://t.co/iWCWlYSptU — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@NASA If Ingenuity were to fall on its side, it'd be very likely that the mission would come to an end. The rotor blades of Ingenuity would likely suffer severe damage impeding it from being able to continue attempting flight on Mars. https://t.co/W4M5QBhWs3 — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@NASA The optimal speed for the 1st Ingenuity flight is 2,537 rpm. During a final systems check, the spin-up of the rotor blades will take ~12 seconds to go from 0 to 2,537 rpm. During 1st flight, it should take us ~6 seconds to climb to our max height. https://t.co/vfcNsnRtC6 — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@NASA During the first flight, it should take us ~6 seconds to climb to our max height. When we hit 10 ft (3 m), Ingenuity will go into a hover that should last – if all goes well – 30 seconds. The spin-up of the rotor blades will have an optimal speed of 2,537 rpm. — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@NASA .@NASAPersevere is expected to obtain imagery of the flight using Navcam and Mastcam-Z imagers. Pictures are expected to come down a few hours after the flight. Ingenuity will also document with a color image and several low-res B&W pictures. https://t.co/yoOVqhOOKx — PolitiTweet.org

NASA @NASA

@NASA If all proceeds as planned, the 4-pound (1.8-kg) #MarsHelicopter is expected to take off from Mars’ Jezero Crater hovering at around 10 feet (3 meters) above the Martian surface for up to 30 seconds. The first flight is the most critical. https://t.co/W4M5QBhWs3 — PolitiTweet.org
