Opportunity Driving Away From Concepcion CraterPasadena CA (JPL) Mar 12, 2010 Opportunity has finished its circumnavigation campaign around "Concepcion" crater. Numerous targeted images were taken of rocks around the crater but no new rock targets were chosen to be analyzed using the in-situ (contact) instruments of the rover's robotic arm (IDD). During the last leg around the crater on Sol 2172 (March 4, 2010), the third and final checkout for the AEGIS automated targeting software was successfully run. For this checkout, AEGIS analyzed a Navigation Camera (NavCam) i ... read more |

Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 26, 2010February 24, 2010: Mars rover Spirit has tenaciously swept, scraped, and squeezed secrets from the forbidding surface of Mars for 6 years. Now at an impasse, up to its belly in sand, it has struggled to tilt its solar panels toward the sun and collect just enough power to survive the perilously cold Martian winter. If Spirit can make it through to spring, the feisty robot will prove it's still i ... more 
Paris, France (ESA) Feb 26, 2010On 3 March 2010 Mars Express will make its closest ever approach to Phobos, the larger of the two Martian moons. During a series of flybys, spanning six weeks, all seven instruments onboard Mars Express will be utilised to study Phobos. The close approach provides a first opportunity to perform a unique gravity experiment that may reveal the distribution of mass within this intriguing moon. ... more  
Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Feb 26, 2010Haiti's prime minister Friday approved a plan to urge those left homeless by last month's quake to leave squalid camps and return to their destroyed neighborhoods if possible, officials said. But the plan faces major hurdles, with residents at one of the largest camps - in the Champ de Mars park across from the ravaged National Palace - warning they will not be able to go back to their rub ... more |

Enhanced 3D Model Of Mars Crater Edge Shows Ups And DownsPasadena CA (JPL) Feb 18, 2010 A dramatic 3D Mars view based on terrain modeling from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter data shows "highs and lows" of Mojave Crater. The vertical dimension is exaggerated three-fold compared with horizontal dimensions in the synthesized images of a portion of the crater's wall. The resulting images look like the view from a low-altitude aircraft. They reflect one use of digital modeling derived from two observations by the orbiter's High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera. ... read more |
