Pasadena CA (JPL) May 21, 2005 - Opportunity continues to make inch-by-inch progress toward getting out of the dune where it has been dug-in since sol 446 (April 26).
Pasadena CA (JPL) May 20, 2005 - NASA's Mars Global Surveyor recently imaged two other spacecraft orbiting Mars, NASA's Mars Odyssey and the ESA's Mars Express.
Ithica NY (SPX) May 19, 2005 - Gradual progress. To extract Opportunity from her little predicament, we've commanded a total of 12 meters of wheel turns so far... 2 meters, then 2 meters, then 4 meters, then 4 meters. We've seen slow, steady progress each time.
Atlanta GA (SPX) May 19, 2005 - Take the cold tolerance of bacteria that thrive in arctic ice, add the ultraviolet resistance of tomato plants growing high in the Andes mountains, and combine with an ordinary plant. What do you get? A tough plant pioneer that can grow in Martian soil.
Pasadena CA (JPL) May 18, 2005 - Spirit remains in excellent health. On sols 477, 478 and 479 (May 7 to May 9, 2005), Spirit made observations with remote-sensing instruments and analyzed soil targets with its alpha particle X-ray spectrometer and Moessbauer spectrometer.
Ithica CA (JPL) May 17, 2005 - The Mars Rover teams have contunied their slow and methodical approach to getting their 400 million dollar robot out of a sand dune on Mars some 191 million kilometers away.
Pasadena CA (JPL) - May 17, 2005 - On Opportunity's first three drives to get out of the sand trap, the rover has advanced a total of 7.4 centimeters (2.9 inches) in getting off the dune.
Corvallis OR (SPX) May 16, 2005 - An interdisciplinary team of scientists thinks it has an answer to a long-standing mystery of why the permanent icecap on Mars' South Pole is offset from the pole itself. Simply put, it's colder and stormier in that hemisphere.
St Louis MO (SPX) May 16, 2005 - A geologist from Washington University in St. Louis is developing new techniques to render a more coherent story of how primitive life arose and diverged on Earth - with implications for Mars.
Pasadena CA (JPL) May 15, 2005 - NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity rotated its wheels on sol 463 for the first time since the rover dug itself into a sand dune more than two weeks earlier.
Pasadena CA (JPL) May 12, 2005 - After finishing robotic-arm work at a rock called Keystone in the Methuselah outcrop, Spirit backed off to image the rock with the panoramic camera and miniature thermal emission spectrometer.
Darmstadt, Germany (ESA) May 12, 2005 - Thanks to a manoeuvre performed on 10 May 2005 at 20:20 CET, ESA flight controllers have successfully completed the deployment of the first boom of the MARSIS radar on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft.
St Louis MO (SPX) May 12, 2005 - A geologist from Washington University in St. Louis is developing new techniques to render a more coherent story of how primitive life arose and diverged on Earth ¿ with implications for Mars.
Moffett Field CA (SPX) - May 12, 2005 - Mars rover engineers are using a testing laboratory to simulate specific Mars surface conditions where NASA's rover Opportunity has spun its wheels in a small dune.
Paris (ESA) May 10, 2005 - These images, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, show the outlet channel of the Uzboi Vallis system into Crater Holden on Mars.
Paris (ESA) May 10, 2005 - The deployment of the second antenna boom of the Mars Express Sub-Surface Sounding Radar Altimeter (MARSIS) science experiment has been delayed pending investigation of an anomaly found during deployment of the first antenna boom.
