Detailed Martian Scenes In New Images From Mars OrbiterPasadena CA (SPX) Jun 10, 2010 Six hundred recent observations of the Mars landscape from an orbiting telescopic camera include scenes of sinuous gullies, geometrical ridges and steep cliffs. Each of the 600 newly released observations from the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter covers an area of several square miles on Mars and reveals details as small as desks. The HiRISE images taken from April 5 to May 6, 2010, are now available on NASA's Planetary Data ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 02, 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 and gone into a deep sleep. While sleeping, the rover will use the available solar array energy to r ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 01, 2010On Mars, water is frozen solid. The average temperature of the Red Planet is negative 55 degrees Celsius (-67 F), and when the temperature rises - the highest recorded temperature is a balmy 20 degrees C (68 F) - this ice turns directly into a gas, skipping the liquid phase entirely because of the low atmospheric pressure. Mars may have had a thicker atmosphere and liquid water on its surf ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 01, 2010Opportunity has benefited from a small (about 10 percent) dust cleaning event on her solar arrays on or about Sol 2246 (May 19, 2010). This improves the available energy for the rover. With the passing of the winter solstice, temperatures should be improving, as well. On Sol 2247 (May 20, 2010), Opportunity completed another successful checkout of the autonomous exploration for gathering i ... more |

Phoenix Crushed By FrostPasadena CA (JPL) May 27, 2010 NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has ended operations after repeated attempts to contact the spacecraft were unsuccessful. A new image transmitted by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows signs of severe ice damage to the lander's solar panels. "The Phoenix spacecraft succeeded in its investigations and exceeded its planned lifetime," said Fuk Li, manager of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Although its work is finished, analysis of information fro ... read more |
