Pasadena CA (JPL) Sep 03, 2009Thousands of newly released images from more than 1,500 telescopic observations by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show a wide range of gullies, dunes, craters, geological layering and other features on the Red Planet. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on the orbiter recorded these images from the month of April through early August of this year. ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Sep 01, 2009The simple explanation for why there was no blog entry for yesterday is that yesterday rather bled into today - it's all a bit of a blur.

While the primary test ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 21, 2009Spirit has passed 2,000 sols on the surface of Mars, yet another milestone. Starting its third sol millennia, Spirit continues to profile the geology at the location where the rover is embedded, a site called "Troy" on the west side of "Home Plate." On Sol 1995 (Aug. 13, 2009), Spirit continued the campaign of grinding deeper into surface targets, then collecting in situ (contact) ... more
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 21, 2009Opportunity is continuing its in-situ (contact) investigation of the 70-centimeter (28-inch) meteorite called "Block Island." On Sol 1974 (Aug. 13, 2009), robotic arm (IDD) work on ground in front of the meteorite completed with a microscopic imager (MI) mosaic of pebbles called "Vail Beach" at the foot of Block Island. On the next sol, Opportunity bumped closer to Block Island by ... more |
