Imagers, Spectrometers to Travel with Next Mars Rover
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1, 2014 — Imaging and spectroscopy equipment aboard an unmanned NASA rover to be sent to Mars in 2020 will help scientists explore the Red Planet in unprecedented detail. Arizona State University, led by planetary science professor Dr. Jim Bell, will provide...
Clark Telescope, 117, Closes for Facelift
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 31, 2013 — The Clark Telescope, a national treasure and site of notable discoveries such as the dwarf planet Pluto, is closing Jan. 1 after 117 years of constant use for a much-needed facelift, officials at Lowell Observatory said recently. The Clark’s...
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...
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...
Mock Mars Mission Tests Camera Design
