- It's happening!!! Pandora is going to space in just over 16 hours (if all goes well). Pandora is going to help us study exoplanet atmospheres, even when their host stars are misbehaving. I am headed up to Vandenberg to watch the launch shortly, and will make a thread about the mission/launch here!
- I've been working on Pandora Science for 5+ years in a variety of roles ranging from Graduate Student Shadow to now serving as the Associate Project Scientist. I am SO EXCITED to finally see this mission go to space.
