The Language Behind the Mars Rover

The Language Behind the Mars Rover 01/16/2004 11:33 AM

Internet language runs real, virtual Mars rover: Spirit runs on Java. I wonder if Beag le was running .Net?

Java, the software developed by Sun Microsystems in the mid-1990s as a universal platform for Internet applications, gave NASA a low-cost and easy-to-use option for running Spirit, the robotic rover that rolled onto the planet's surface Thursday in search of signs of water and life.

24:39 NASA is running their Spirit Martian explorer program on Martian solar time. With the project day running 39 minutes longer than a real day, engineers found they faced difficulties adjusting to this virtual timezone. Their solution was nearly as old as timekeeping itself.

Sailing the Martian Sea

Sailing the Martian Sea 03/22/2005 03:36 PM

The Mars Rovers have exceeded all expectations during their time exploring the surface of the red planet. However, there is other Martian exploration and research going on. The European Space Agency probe Mars Express has sent back new data which indicates that there may be a frozen sea under the surface of Mars.

Images taken of the Elysium region near the equator show a region that some believe is a large frozen sea, just below the surface of the planet. The team at the ESA believe that the area, around the size of the UK’s North Sea, contains water that is covered in a layer of volcanic ash that prevents the frozen ice form sublimating in the thin Martian atmosphere.

After reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series, which covered a the colonization and terraforming of the red planet, I find the news that there large amounts of ice on Mars to be fascinating. Maybe some day we'll get there.

Hunter’s Martian Eyes

Hunter’s Martian Eyes 01/16/2004 10:56 AM
In Barry Lopez’ Arctic Dreams (a beautiful and wise book) he laments the passage of the special relationship between the hunter and the landscape; A hunter—a real hunts-to-live hunter, not a plaid-clad suburbanite gun nut—has to as a matter of life or death study his surroundings with great care. I quote: “But the meticulous inspection of the land that is the mark of a good hunter becomes most evident when he uses a pair of good field glasses. Long after the most inquiring nonnative has has grown weary of glassing the land for some clue to the movement of animals, a hunter is still scouring its edges and interstices. He may take an hour to glass 360° of the apparently silent tundra, one section at a time.” In that spirit, go visit the very good Quicktime VR panorama of the Martian Surface, set the scene into a slow, slow drift (it’s easy with a trackpad), cultivate that hunter’s eye, and spend a half-hour looking at the horizon, and the sand, and the stones.

Bespoke martian watches keep 24h, 39m

Bespoke martian watches keep 24h, 39m
day 01/09/2004 09:56 PM
Researchers working on the Mars lander are rising and sleeping on Martian Standard Time, the daylight hours on the lander's plot of Mars. The martian day is 24h, 39m long -- which means that the rover crew had to get custom-made timepieces (for "had to," here, read, "thought it would be really cool to") manufactured for them by a master watchmaker.

My next novel, Eastern Standard Tribe, (due out in just a few weeks!) revolves around the way that your sleep schedule determines a lot about your social circle and hence your beliefs, alliegances, and so forth. A friend of mine in DC who used to work for the CIA just read the book and wrote to point out that the military has been running timezone-tribes for years, so that all the people commanding and supporting some distant operational unit are rising and sleeping on a schedule synched with daylight hours in some far corner.

But I bet they don't get cool watches like this one -- someone should manufacture and sell 'em. My sleep-schedule is so scr0d that I would happily wear this thing and abide by what it told me about my circadian. Link (via MeFi)

The Martian meteorite re-examined

The Martian meteorite re-examined 02/10/2004 02:57 AM
Two Australian scientists have developed a new process for examining the controversial Martian meteorite, a stone retrieved from Antarctic ice samples several years ago. This stone shows signs of having been formed on the fourth planet from the sun, and kicked free of Mars' gravity by a tremendous surface impact, causing it to drift through space and eventually fall to Earth. It is believed by some to contain fossilised traces of simple single-celled organisms. These scientists claim their process proves beyond any doubt that those traces are genuine: the meteorite contains evidence of primitive life on Mars many millions of years ago.
