Topic: Denver CO
While the mission team plans to continue collecting data well into 2022, the increasing dustiness of the spacecraft’s solar panels and the onset of the Martian winter led to a decision to conserve power and temporarily limit the operation of its instruments. ![]() This artist’s concept depicts NASA’s InSight lander after it has deployed its instruments on the Martian surface.

Tennessee Titans last game against the Denver BroncosTennessee Titans
On Denver’s opening possession, the Broncos constructed an eight-play, 32-yard scoring drive. Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay contributed 13 yards on the ground, and Broncos RB Royce Freeman accounted for 11 rushing yards. Broncos K Brandon McManus converted a 31-yard field goal for an early 3-0 Denver lead. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: News | No Comments
NASA’s Juno Spacecraft gets first ever pictures of Jupiter’s Moon Ganymede
The only moon in the solar system that is larger than the planet Mercury, Ganymede consists primarily of water ice. Its composition contains fundamental clues for understanding the evolution of the 79 Jovian moons from the time of their formation to today. ![]() These images the JIRAM instrument aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft took on Dec. 26, 2019, provide the first infrared mapping of Ganymede’s northern frontier. Frozen water molecules detected at both poles have no appreciable order to their arrangement and a different infrared signature than ice at the equator.

NASA’s Mars Helicopter will hitch a ride to Mars on belly of NASA’s Perseverance rover
To safely navigate those 5 inches – the distance Ingenuity will travel from where it’s stowed on the rover to the surface of Mars – they came up with the ingenious Mars Helicopter Delivery System. ![]() The Mars Helicopter, visible in lower center of the image, was attached to the belly of NASA’s Perseverance rover at Kennedy Space Center on April 6, 2020. The helicopter will be deployed onto the Martian surface about two-and-a-half months after Perseverance lands. (NASA/JPL-Caltech) «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Technology | No Comments
NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft searches Asteroid Bennu’s surface for safe areas to land
Using these hazardous boulders as signposts, the mission team developed a new precision navigation method to overcome the challenge. ![]() During the sample collection event, Natural Feature Tracking (NFT) will guide NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to asteroid Bennu’s surface. The spacecraft takes real-time images of the asteroid’s surface features as it descends, and then compares these images with an onboard image catalog. The spacecraft then uses these geographical markers to orient itself and accurately target the touchdown site.

NASA maneuvers Mars InSight Landers’ robotic arm to press down on the “Mole”
They hope that pushing down on the mole’s top, also called the back cap, will keep it from backing out of its hole on Mars, as it did twice in recent months after nearly burying itself. ![]() This test using an engineering model of the InSight lander here on Earth shows how the spacecraft on Mars will use its robotic arm to press on a digging device, called the “mole.” (NASA/JPL-Caltech) «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Technology | No Comments

NASA to help Mars InSight Lander’s Heat Probe dig
The maneuver is in preparation for a tactic, to be tried over several weeks, called “pinning.” ![]() NASA InSight’s robotic arm will use its scoop to pin the spacecraft’s heat probe, or “mole,” against the wall of its hole.

Dodging the Roadkill: Rocky Mountain High – Part 2
This would be my second visit to Colorado having been here in 2017. It was magnificent then and it’s magnificent now. Just having the Colorado mountains in the background makes it so beautiful. And, the altitude reminds me that I’m not in Kansas anymore. «Read the rest of this article» Sections: Commentary | No Comments
