Sprout Social : I’m officially halfway to the Red Planet. Since launch, I’ve logged 146 million miles (235 million km), and have the same to go. System checkouts are going well as I barrel toward my date with Mars: Feb 18, 2021. go.nasa.gov/3kFl6SE #CountdownToMars pic.twitter.com/nCISUVjCUi

These sensors will measure the environment around my protective shell and performance of thermal protection system material during landing — key info for safer and more reliable landings for future Mars missions. go.nasa.gov/34jczig #CountdownToMars

Twitter Web App : When I land on Mars, I have a to-do list to help in my search for ancient life: find favorable rocks, drill, collect & store. Eric Aguilar helped engineer the caching system Ill use. Catch his live Q&A: Oct. 22, 2pm PT (5pm ET, 2100 UTC). youtu.be/V4D-z2zym7I

Twitter Web App : I have 11 3D printed parts. As part of an explorative additive manufacturing technique, specialized engineers play with unique designs & traits, making hardware lighter, stronger, or more responsive. It's key to next-gen spacecraft design. go.nasa.gov/35gzIRA #CountdownToMars pic.twitter.com/AChOnRKVDc

Twitter Web App : Im getting closer to Mars. Once there, I will use my “radar eyes” to see what’s beneath the surface.

My ground-penetrating radar can see at least 30 feet (10 meters) down to help search for signs of past microbial life. #CountdownToMars

Virtually visit the Martian-like test bed in @nasajpl with my Earthly rover twin, OPTIMISM, and my team. They’re currently driving on terrain similar to Mars and performing tests gearing up for my Red Planet arrival. Tune in: instagram.com/nasajpl/ #CountdownToMars

Twitter Media Studio : As I head to Mars, my nearly identical twin, OPTIMISM, is hard at work on Earth. See how my team tests hardware & software before commands are sent to me. Ask questions during a NASA JPL IG live, Oct. 7, around 9am PT (noon ET, 1600 UTC) instagram.com/nasajpl #CountdownToMars
