It’s a face-off! Who will laugh first? In this battle of the scientists, Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle team lead Stephen Scheidt holds a dGPS camera, and Chemistry/Mineralogy team lead Cherie Achilles holds a spectrometer. pic.twitter.com/zcpjKpMRGO

It’s not always easy to get a sense of size and distance from aerial or orbital images, but this photo has humans for scale. Can you find Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle pilot-in-command Stephen Scheidt and visual observer Ben Harte? pic.twitter.com/gHmN70SzC9

In 2021, NASA's RISE2 team traveled to Kilbourne Hole, NM with 3 big questions:

🌋 How did this crater form?
👩🏽🚀 How will we set astronauts up for success on other worlds?
📊 What real-time data do explorers need to excel in their work?
These are our notes from the field. pic.twitter.com/vm8zZKEJtT
Welcome to Kilbourne Hole! 🌋

This broad, shallow crater is evidence of long-ago volcanic activity. We’re here to find out exactly how the eruption, or eruptions, took place. This knowledge will help scientists to solve geologic mysteries on Earth and beyond. pic.twitter.com/Du2Nm91Sxz
Future Moon and Mars crews will need to react quickly + accurately to geologic clues during the limited time they’ll have on extraterrestrial surfaces. On this trip, we’ll work towards combining lots of different data streams to make them easier to interpret in real time. pic.twitter.com/9X7BfX2n5x
