The Operational Readiness Test (#4) for @MissionToPsyche is well into its second day! And the secret people who designed the faults and problems have their own email, which includes the word "gremlin." And, here are some baby quail. #PI_Daily pic.twitter.com/j9SUXNvvrI

Lotsa reviews and tests for @MissionToPsyche team now. Today is the start of a three-day Operations Readiness Test, Off-Nominal Launch Edition, meaning we are running a real-time simulation into which gremlins have placed failures and faults, so the team can practice! #PI_Daily pic.twitter.com/HY5GbH6cBo

At Day 2 of the @MissionToPsyche All-Team meeting (we don't have separate science team meetings…it's all disciplines together for us). So amazing, so lovely to feel the team's spirits up and everyone feeling really good about launch in….five months and one day! #PI_Daily
