520 Days On A Simulated Flight To MarsBonn, Germany (SPX) Jun 02, 2010 On 3 June 2010, six 'astronauts' will commence a virtual trip to Mars. Sealed into a cramped container at the Moscow Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) for 520 days, they will experience the rigours and isolation of long-duration spaceflight. This marks the start of the main part of the Mars 500 experiment, and on completion will constitute the longest ever space simulation experiment. Scientists from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and other German research institutions such as the Charite ... read more |

Such a finding could complicate efforts to discover whether or not there is any native martian life. Since NASA's early years, the space program has been concerned not only with the potential contamination of Earth from extraterrestrial life ... more

Final Attempts To Hear From Mars Phoenix ScheduledPasadena CA (SPX) May 17, 2010 From May 17 to 21, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter will conduct a fourth and final campaign to check on whether the Phoenix Mars Lander has come back to life. During that period, Odyssey will listen for a signal from Phoenix during 61 flights over the lander's site on far-northern Mars. The orbiter detected no transmission from the lander in earlier campaigns totaling 150 overflights in January, February and April. In 2008, Phoenix completed its three-month mission studying Martian ice, soil and ... read more |
