Another day, another drive for Perseverance rover. This short drive was completed during mission sol 1445 (March 14, 2025). Arriving at site 70.0.

Attached is a roughly processed post-drive 4-tile L-NavCam image, the drive data and screen capture of the mission map. The dogleg traverse distance was just 6.45 meters (~21 ft) west-northwest. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA.

#PPOD: Blue Ghost got her first diamond ring! The photo, taken at their landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 a.m. CDT on 14 March 2025, shows the Sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. This marks the first time in history that a commercial company was actively operating on the Moon and able to observe a total solar #eclipse. This phenomenon occurred simultaneously with the lunar eclipse we witnessed on Earth. Credit: Firefly Aerospace

The Earth covers the Sun as seen from the surface of the Moon, with the flash of the diamond ring effect appearing at the 4 o'clock point as the Sun begins to emerge from totality.

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX has failed to establish it was a victim of political bias by a California agency that voted to reject expanding its rocket launches in the state. U.S. District Judge Stanley Blumenfeld Jr in Los Angeles said he would dismiss the case because SpaceX had not shown it was harmed by the California Coastal Commission's vote against its plan to expand its rocket launches from the Vandenberg U.S. Space Force Base in Santa Barbara."

"Today, with launch costs plummeting and micro-technology enabling much smaller (and lighter) satellites, society is becoming increasingly reliant on this off-earth capability, whether for navigation by land, air or sea, for weather forecasting or for the precision timing signal that forms the basis for global banking transactions. How can society protect the space environment, and what role should the UK play in this vital pillar of national defence?"
