Winter in San Diego means sunny skies, ocean views, and Aztec energy.
While much of the country is bundled up, our community is soaking up the sun, recharging, and enjoying the season the San Diego way. โ๏ธ๐

New research @JRuralHealth

โ
๏ธ Sports matter, especially in urban areas
โ ๏ธ Female non-sport participants are most at-risk for inactivity

Surprise! Mission accomplished. We just executed Remora, our first closed-loop rendezvous mission, in orbit. The entire operation relied on a single camera sensor and peripheral flight computer, an industry first. The Remora mission was developed in just nine months with our partners @GoToImpulse, and quietly launched earlier this year on board Impulseโs LEO Express 2 Mira.
