Some highlights of my experiences on #MSL #Curiosity to follow over the next few days.
Recommend following @nasa_nagin, @Matt_Heverly, @sumnerd, @nzw for continued #MSL #Curiosity Mars updates.
Hard to leave #MSL after being big part of my life for 8 years but the timing/opp'ty are right. Thx for Twitter intro and great comments/Qs.
Last #MSL #Curiosity shift tosol; I was recently named manager of JPL's avionics and software section. It's been an amazing ride.
#Curiosity analyzing dust from 2nd drill. 1st drill = ancient habitable environ but less-than-expected carbon. spaceflightnow.com/mars/msl/…
#Curiosity successfully drilled a 2nd hole. Gray powder from tailings contrasts with reddish surface.

Ha Ha! Seeing the #StarTrek movie with a crew of real space explorers
Nice #Curiosity hazcam image showing the Cumberland drill target in context with the outcrop.
#Curiosity "bumped" (drove) to nearby outcrop for 2nd drill hole. Remote sensing and contact science underway.
#Curiosity's next drill target: "Cumberland". Mudstone with concretions - concentrated minerals formed in water. jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?r…
Conjunction is over! First full tactical shift tosol. Configuring to resume #Curiosity sci; software upgrade planned for next few sols.
