Curiosity News
Position, Position, Position
Oct 6, 2015 — New standards could provide positioning and motion systems with higher dynamic path-following capabilities than existing and earlier systems. This may become critical for applications in precision metrology, manufacturing and others, where accuracy and repeatability are key. As in real estate, in science and medicine, success often comes down to location, location, location. That’s why positioning technology is important. Getting an instrument — or a critical part of it —
Curiosity Surpasses 100,000 Laser Zaps
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Dec. 9, 2013 — The laser instrument aboard NASA’s Curiosity rover has surpassed its 100,000th shot on Mars, the space agency reported last week. Designed to fire 1 million shots, the ChemCam zaps rocks and dust with a high-power laser to determine their...
Science and stuff with a wise-cracking Mars rover
Nov 16, 2012 — If you spend any amount of time in the Twittersphere, you’ve probably seen at least one of the following:(1) surprisingly snarky and even subversive tweets from the Queen of England and other public figures; (2) running commentary from...
Lasers Find Varied Uses in Space Applications
Nov 1, 2012 — From the first laser fired on another planet to observatory guide stars and space collision avoidance systems, lasers in space are making news with numerous advances and universal firsts (as far as we know). With the beginning of the Laser Lunar...
Storage Keeps Pace with Data from Space
Nov 1, 2012 — As imaging technology improves, space researchers are accumulating incredible amounts of image data – all of which must be transmitted and stored for analysis. There are few fields in which the challenge of image storage and analysis is more...
Mars Rover’s Laser Zaps First Target
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Aug. 22, 2012 — NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity fired its laser for the first time on Mars this week, hitting a fist-sized rock with 30 pulses, each delivering more than 1 million watts of power. The achievement was just the beginning of a two-year mission that...
Photonics in Space
Dec 1, 2010 — What would we know about the universe without the aid of optics? A whole lot less than we do now, to be sure. Optics has always played a significant role in both manned and unmanned space missions, while astronomical study would be largely...
