Mars Rover: Curiosity: November 2012

Mars rover Curiosity's other mission: PR

Science is not the only objective of the Curiosity mission on Mars. Promoting the mission at a time of budget cuts is also crucial. NASA's Curiosity rover was designed to search Mars for places capable of supporting life. But the $2.5-billion mission has another, unofficial objective: To serve as a goodwill ambassador for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge at a time when ...

	NASA X: MEDLI and Mars Curiosity Rover Mars is back in the spotlight as NASA once again focuses on unraveling The mysteries of the red planet, this time with a new rover called curiosity. During the lead up to this mission, there was a lot of talk about the so-called seven minutes of terror, which referred to edl, or the entry, descent, and landing stage. The reason the word "terror" was used is because researchers Spend years of their lives developing and perfecting a spacecraft, only to have this very short seven-minute window often determine whether the mission fails or succeeds. During these seven minutes, the spacecraft experiences enormous changes in temperatures, pressure, And speed, but surprisingly, even with the tremendous amount of data and experience we have about how to land on mars, there is still a gap in our knowledge about exactly what a spacecraft experiences during the crucial edl stage. but beginning with the curiosity mission, NASA researchers have developed A suite of instruments that will gave us a much better understanding of the edl conditions, changing that seven minutes of terror to something more like seven minutes of heightened concern. Coming up on this episode of NASA x, we will find out about the challenges of edl, as we follow the MEDLI team in their quest to improve Our understanding of entry descent and landing. Observers from around the world have long viewed it with awe, seeing its red color As being both ominous and also a symbol of strength. the name we use today for mars <b>...</b>	From: MrAbkebab Views: 0 0 ratings

	Curiosity Mars Rover CheMin Data CURIOSITY ROVER REPORT-- JPL (CP) David Bish Reporting. @MarsCuriosity. (SOT: David Bish, Co-investigator, MSL CheMin Instrument). Hi, I'm David Bish, co-investigator on the CheMin instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory and this is your Curiosity rover update. We have been spending some time in an area called Rocknest, and this week we delivered a scoop of a dune to Curiosity. CheMin performs X-ray diffraction measurements on powdered rocks and soil samples. An X-ray diffraction is the best method for telling us what minerals are present in a rock or a soil because it is sensitive to the arrangements of atoms in minerals. As the X-rays strike the soil sample, CheMin shows us how mineral crystals distinctively interact with X-rays, and this image shows us our first X-ray diffraction results. The diffraction signals appear on the detector as rings that represent the fingerprint of the minerals. The rings tell us not only what minerals are present in the soil and but also how abundant they are. The CheMin data provide us distinctive signatures of the minerals plagioclase feldspar, pyroxenes, and olivine. Peridot is a variety of olivine. Just keep in mind that the olivine in the soil sample is much smaller than these crystals. Roughly half of the soil consists of poorly crystalline material, such as volcanic glass. Thus, this Martian soil appears very similar to some weathered basaltic soils that we see on Earth, in places like the flanks of Mauna Kea, Hawaii.
