New Martian Views From Orbiting Camera Show DiversityPasadena CA (JPL) May 06, 2010 New images from more than 750 recent observations of Mars by an orbiting telescopic camera testify to the diversity of landscapes there. The images from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter are now available on NASA's Planetary Data System and on the camera team's website. The features visible in the images range from oddly sculpted terrain inside a giant crater to frosted dunes, deformed craters, old gullies and pits strung along fractu ... read more |

Kennedy Space Center FL (SPX) Apr 16, 2010Astronauts will soar spaceward in commercial spacecraft while NASA develops technology so humans can venture to Mars and out into the solar system, President Barack Obama told a space conference Thursday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Laying out his plans, President Obama committed NASA to a series of development milestones he said would lead to new spacecraft for astronauts to ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 16, 2010Spirit remains silent at her location called "Troy" on the west side of Home Plate. No communication has been received from the rover since Sol 2210 (March 22, 2010). It is likely that Spirit has experienced a low-power fault and has turned off all sub-systems, including communication. The rover will use the available solar-array energy to recharge her batteries. When the batteries recover ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 16, 2010Opportunity has picked up the pace a little as she presses on toward Endeavour crater, recharging her batteries between drives. First, the rover must clear a region of large ripples, so Opportunity is heading south before the turn to the East. Sols 2206 (April 8, 2010) and 2208 (April 10, 2010), each saw a roughly 50-meter (164-foot) drive straight south. On Sol 2211 (April 13, 2010) ... more |

Sharp Turn Makes Opportunity For Roving DifficultPasadena CA (JPL) Apr 12, 2010 After taking some time to recharge her batteries, the rover attempted a drive on Sol 2202 (April 4, 2010). That drive stopped after the initial arc turn due to elevated current draw in the motors on the right side of the rover. The rover is between two ripples with the space in between forming a bowl. The rover had to push harder on the right to make the sharp turn. Conservatively-set current limits stopped the drive, as a way for controllers on the ground to assess the driving conditions before p ... read more |
