DLR Investigates The Existence Of Liquid Salt Solutions On MarsBonn, Germany (SPX) Jul 29, 2010 Is it possible that there are salt solutions on Mars that remain liquid despite the extremely low temperatures - a class of fluids known as cryobrines? Research findings at the German Aerospace Center have shown that this is a theoretical possibility. Experiments and modelling have indicated that the required conditions exist, especially during the Martian northern summer at higher latitudes. Prof. Diedrich Mohlmann of the DLR Institute of Planetary Research presented these initial findings on Fri ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 09, 2010Opportunity drove twice, tested the autonomous exploration for gathering increased science, or AEGIS software, and collected an atmospheric argon measurement over the past week. The rover drove on Sol 2288 (July 1, 2010), covering about 71 meters (233 feet) in a simple zigzag pattern to the east. Over the 4th of July weekend, Opportunity performed two more tests of the AEGIS autonomo ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 05, 2010Opportunity continues to make good progress toward Endeavour crater as solar energy levels improve. On Sol 2281 (June 24, 2010), the rover completed over 70 meters (230 feet), driving east/southeast. On Sol 2283 (June 26, 2010), the rover headed 57 meters (187 feet) to the northeast to avoid some large ripples. The rover drove again on Sol 2286 (June 29, 2010), covering over 70 ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 05, 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). As stated previously, 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 s ... more |

Rocky Mounds And A Plateau On MarsParis, France (ESA) Jun 29, 2010 When Mars Express set sail for the crater named after Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan, it found a windblown plateau and mysterious rocky mounds nearby. Stretching across 190 x 112 km, this region of Mars covers an area of about 21 280 sq km, which is roughly the size of Slovenia. It is located to the southwest of the volcanic region Tharsis on the southern highlands of Mars, near the crater Magellan. Named after the famous Portuguese navigator and explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the imp ... read more |
