Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) Jun 1, 2010 NASA says its Deep Impact/Epoxi spacecraft successfully performed a trajectory maneuver to refine its orbit prior to an upcoming Earth flyby. The maneuver will place the spacecraft on a trajectory to fly past Earth June 27 prior to its Nov. 4 flyby of comet Hartley. The trajectory maneuver, on Friday, involved the spacecraft's engines being fired for 11.3 seconds, NASA said. Whil ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 01, 2010On Mars, water is frozen solid. The average temperature of the Red Planet is negative 55 degrees Celsius (-67 F), and when the temperature rises - the highest recorded temperature is a balmy 20 degrees C (68 F) - this ice turns directly into a gas, skipping the liquid phase entirely because of the low atmospheric pressure. Mars may have had a thicker atmosphere and liquid water on its surf ... more

Opportunity's Solar Panels Get Minor CleaningPasadena CA (JPL) Jun 01, 2010 Opportunity has benefited from a small (about 10 percent) dust cleaning event on her solar arrays on or about Sol 2246 (May 19, 2010). This improves the available energy for the rover. With the passing of the winter solstice, temperatures should be improving, as well. On Sol 2247 (May 20, 2010), Opportunity completed another successful checkout of the autonomous exploration for gathering increased science (AEGIS) software. On Sol 2250 (May 23, 2010), an old problem reappeared with the miniature th ... read more |
