Mars Rovers Are Almost There!

Mars Rovers Are Almost There! 12/03/2003 01:45 AM
Space.com has an article reminding us that the Mars rover teams are getting ready for the soon arrival of the rovers to the cold Red planet. Basically the ESA rover will get there first around Christmas, and then the Nasa's rover Spirit should arrive around January 3rd, and then Nasa's rover Opportunity will arrive around January 24th. Nasa scientists hope there won't be any gusts of wind or a big hard rock to bust a robot gut on. Everyone says they're ready for the landings so let's hope everything's A-OK. Japan's Mars probe may not make it. It's unlikely, but if it does survive, the Nozomi (translated hope) rover will arrive around December 14th.

Rovers on Mars

Rovers on Mars 01/07/2004 05:42 PM

Last night NOVA broadcast MARS Dead or Alive, an examination of the current project to send two rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, to Mars to search for signs of life. Less than 24 hours after Spirit's successful landing, NOVA showed the jubilant team celebrating the initial success of the mission. The show will be re-broadcast tomorrow night (Tuesday) and will have the latest updates. It's full of interesting information about the rovers, and contains lots of interviews with scientists and engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I recommend it if you're at all interested in Mars, MERs (Mars Exploratory Rovers), and space exploration.

Also, Sprit is now sending back color photos of the Martian landscape at Gusev Crater which NASA is supposed to release today. In another week or so, Spirit should begin its exploration of the surface (driving around, collecting samples, taking pictures, etc.) and sending back even more cool data! And then on January 24th, the second rover, Opportunity, is expected to land. So cool! I love the rovers, and I'm so glad to see another one successfully landed. For more information, here's NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission website. And just for kicks, here's a Mars rover family photo, showing the new rover and its predecessor, a spare from the 1997 Pathfinder mission. The new rovers are so much bigger!

In one of the most successful science missions yet the Mars Rovers are still performing task being sent to them by the folks at JPL. They have a couple of weeks down time due to the solar conjunction but have pre-planned task that will keep them busy until Mars has good line of site to Earth again. [Mars Rovers]
