 Sunnyvale CA (SPX) Jun 01, 2009 
NASA scientists modeled freezing conditions on Mars to test whether liquid water could have been present to form the surface features of the Martian landscape. Researchers report that fluids loaded with dissolved minerals containing elements such as silicon, iron, magnesium, potassium and aluminum, can remain in a liquid state at temperatures well below freezing. The results of this resear ... read more

Houston TX (SPX) May 29, 2009On May 30, 2009, the John P. McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science, also called The Health Museum, will launch the U.S. premiere of Facing Mars. The exhibit features interactive stations that encourage visitors to "walk on Mars," test and launch rockets, "fly over" the Martian landscape and consider the implications humans face in their quest to reach the Red Planet. Facing Mars will be ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 27, 2009I'd like to talk about how to cut the cost of going to Mars. And there's one very obvious way, which is a one-way mission. Isn't this a crazy idea, a one-way mission to Mars? Who could possibly volunteer for such a thing? Isn't this a suicide mission? Well, the answer is: no, this is not a suicide mission. Going to Mars on a return journey obviously involves a high level of risk. ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) May 28, 2009NASA's Mars Science Laboratory rover, scheduled for launch in 2011, has a new name, thanks to a sixth-grade student from Kansas. Twelve-year-old Clara Ma from the Sunflower Elementary school in Lenexa submitted the winning entry, "Curiosity." As her prize, Ma wins a trip to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where she will be invited to sign her name directly onto the ... more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 25, 2009This week, Opportunity completed in-situ (contact) science with her robotic arm (IDD) on small pebbles located on an exposed rock outcrop. On Sol 1886 (May 14, 2009), Opportunity collected a 5-stack of Microscopic Imager pictures then placed the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer on the target "Kasos." On the next sol, the rover placed the Mossbauer spectrometer on the same target for a mul ... more 
Ithaca NY (SPX) May 22, 2009After thoroughly investigating Victoria Crater on Mars for two years, the instruments aboard the Rover Opportunity reveal more evidence of our neighboring red planet's windy, wet and wild past. The overview of the findings - compiled in one source - is published in the latest issue of the journal Science (May 22, 2009). Opportunity's two-year exploration of Victoria Crater - a half-mile ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) May 19, 2009NASA's rover project team is using the Spirit rover and other spacecraft at Mars to begin developing the best maneuvers for extracting Spirit from the soft Martian ground where it has become embedded. A diagnostic test on May 16 provided favorable indications about Spirit's left middle wheel. The possibility of the wheel being jammed was one factor in the rover team's May 7 decision to ... more  
Bonn, Germany (SPX) May 19, 2009Objects with orbits that bring them near to Earth are potential killers. These objects, known as NEOs (Near-Earth Objects), are asteroids (see the astronomy question from week 19: Where is the planet between Mars and Jupiter?) or comets, which we can recognise when they are in the vicinity of the Sun by their characteristic tail. If these small heavenly bodies cross Earth's orbit while the ... more |
