Opportunity Breaks The 13 Mile MarkPasadena CA (JPL) Jun 21, 2010 Opportunity is driving again and has now covered 21 kilometers (13 miles) of odometry on Mars. The pancam mast assembly (PMA) azimuth error from Sol 2257 (May 30, 2010), has been attributed to a problem within the miniature thermal emission spectrometer (Mini-TES) instrument. An investigation of the Mini-TES is ongoing. The PMA has been restored to operation for imaging (not Mini-TES use). On Sol 2267 (June 10, 2010), a quick fine attitude (QFA) was performed to refine the rover's atti ... read more |

Copenhagen, Denmark (SPX) Jun 08, 2010The Earth and Moon were created as the result of a giant collision between two planets the size of Mars and Venus. Until now it was thought to have happened when the solar system was 30 million years old or approx. 4,537 million years ago. But new research from the Niels Bohr Institute shows that the Earth and Moon must have formed much later - perhaps up to 150 million years after the for ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 08, 2010Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 08, 2010 A catalogue of places on Earth where one can find Mars-like conditions might include Antarctica's Dry Valleys, Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic, the hyper-acidic Rio Tinto in Spain, and Chile's bone-dry Atacama Desert. But it probably wouldn't include Brooklyn. And yet it's in Brooklyn where, in an otherwise unexceptional warehouse, Honeybee Robotics ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 08, 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 |

18-Month Mars500 Mission Has BegunMoscow, Russia (ESA) Jun 04, 2010 Hatch closed: 18-month Mars500 mission has begun. Mars500, the first full-length simulated mission to Mars, started today in Moscow at 13:49 local time (11:49 CET), when the six-man crew entered their 'spacecraft' and the hatch was closed. The experiment will run until November next year. The mood was serious and very determined in the Mars500 facility at the Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow this afternoon, as the crew talked to the press and then walked into the modules that will be the ... read more |
