01/03/2004 03:22 PMMagic may happen this evening. The USA will attempt to safely land a
scientific golf cart on Mars at about 8.30pm, California time:
Two NASA (news - web sites) Mars landers -- Spirit and Opportunity --
are speeding toward "sweet spot" touch down sites at different, but
scientifically attractive locations on Earth's mysterious neighbor.
The opening act in this $820 million drama to place dual robot
geologists on Mars is the landing of the Mars Exploration Rover (MER)
dubbed Spirit tonight at about 8:35 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST).
The target: Gusev Crater -- a possible former lake in a giant impact
crater on Mars. Primary among the mission's scientific goals is to
search for and characterize a wide range of rocks and soils that hold
clues to past water activity on Mars

www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/portals/beagle.shtmlNASA
has blasted into the new year by not only landing a robotic vehicle
(the Rover Spirit) on the surface of Mars, but also by transmitting
the best photographs ever captured of the red planet. With that,
Spirit is now preparing to meander about the surface of Mars and
collect specimens of rock and soil -- the return of which is anxiously
awaited by scientists worldwide. Spirit landed and made its first
transmissions to earth earlier this week. And, as was planned by NASA
researchers, Sprit had landed almost directly in what looks to be an
impact crater, now nicknamed Sleepy Hollow. Researchers are excited to
explore that area and the many other craters and rock debris located
there. While the planet appears to be quite desolate, Spirit will soon
be joined by its twin, Opportunity. Opportunity is expected to land
next week on another part of the planet before beginning its own
exploration.
The first site takes visitors to NASA's
official Mars exploration site. Located here is all sorts of
information on the mission's purpose, a timeline of events, updated
photographs sent by Spirit, press releases, and resources for teachers
and students. The two news sites offer reviews of the mission. The
first is a detailed site from NPR.org and provides visitors with
several stories that have been dedicated to the mission. The second of
these is a review of the photos of Mars sent from Spirit. The fourth
site is dedicated to the geology of Mars. This site, from Albert T.
Hsui at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, is a great reference
for delving into the details of Mars geology (as was known pre-January
2004). The next site is from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science
and provides a great description of the search for water (or the past
presence of it) on Mars. Discoveryschool.com offers the next site
which provides a great collection of teaching resources for educators
wishing to bring Mars into the their classrooms. The final site, from
BBCi, totes itself as containing "everything you need to know about
Mars exploration." And, it lives up to its claim pretty well. This
site offers a different perspective from the NASA mission by offering
a look into the European Space Agency's Express Mission and the
subsequent landing of the ESA version of the Spirit and Opportunity,
the Beagle II. [From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout

Meanwhile, back on Mars
09/07/2004 09:48 PMI must admit I was shocked to find out today the the Mars rovers
are still quietly going about their business on the red planet.
They're still plugging along climbing through craters and scratching
rocks. The Spirit rover has travelled over two miles since it landed.
The folks at JPL are starting to sound like proud parents in their weekly status
reports.
Sol 225 was truly a mega-activity sol. Spirit awoke at 11:20 a.m.,
Gusev local solar time and stayed awake well past the afternoon
communication session with NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter without taking
a nap. Spirit hasn't done that in a long time.
I have a strange feeling that if the Martian winter causes the rovers
to hibernate that they'll wake up ready to go again next spring. Nice
work NASA. Truly something to be proud of.

public version of the primary software tool used by scientists to
operate the Mars Exploration Rovers from the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory. Anyone can download Maestro for free from
mars.telascience.organd use it to
follow along with the rovers' progress during the mission. You can use
Maestro to view pictures from Mars in 2D and 3D and create simplified
rover activity plans. During the mission, updates will be released for
Maestro containing the latest images from Mars."

NASA and the Mars Bunny. I first heard about it
from
our own kokogiak. Then the conspiracy theorists:
"They're
destroying the evidence!" But now NASA has come out to
tell us,
"It's probably just airbag material." Mars Rovers Are Almost There!
Mars Rovers Are Almost There!
12/03/2003 01:45 AMSpace.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!
