Keyword Search: Photo credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Two images of the Phoenix Mars lander taken from Martian orbit in 2008 and 2010. The 2008 lander image (left) shows two relatively blue spots on either side corresponding to the spacecraft's clean circular solar panels. In the 2010 (right) image scientists see a dark shadow that could be the lander body and eastern solar panel, but no shadow from the western solar panel. Phoenix Mars Lander Is Silent, New Image Shows Damage May 25, 2010 NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has ended operations after repeated attempts to contact the spacecraft were unsuccessful. A new image transmitted by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows signs of severe ice damage to the lander's solar panels. "The Phoenix spacecraft succeeded in its investigations and exceeded its planned lifetime," said Fuk Li, manager of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Although its work is finished, analysis of information from Phoenix's science activities will continue for some time to come." Last week, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter flew over the Phoenix landing site 61 times during a final attempt to communicate with the lander. No transmission from the lander was detected. Phoenix also did not communicate during 150 flights in three earlier listening campaigns this year.

Contents What's New Image Index Puzzles ... Search Mars Global Surveyor NASA Mars Orbiter Courtesy of NASA's National Space Science Data Center Launch Date/Time: 1996-11-07 at 17:00:50 UTC On-orbit dry mass: 1030.50 kg Nominal Power Output: 980.00 W Description The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) is designed to orbit Mars over a two year period and collect data on the surface morphology, topography, composition, gravity, atmospheric dynamics, and magnetic field. This data will be used to investigate the surface processes, geology, distribution of material, internal properties, evolution of the magnetic field, and the weather and climate of Mars. Spacecraft and Subsystems The spacecraft itself is a rectangular box approximately 1.17 x 1.17 x 1.7 meters in size, made up of two parts, the equipment module and the propulsion module. All instruments except the magnetometer are stored on the nadir equipment deck, on one of the 1.17 x 1.17 meter surfaces. This is the top of the equipment module, which is 0.735 m high. The main thruster and propulsion tanks are on the opposite side from the instruments, on the propulsion module, which is approximately 1 meter high. Two solar panels, each 3.5 x 1.9 m in size, extend out from opposite sides of the craft. A 1.5 meter diameter parabolic high gain dish antenna is mounted on an adjacent side, and attached to a 2 meter boom, which is extended for mapping operations so the antenna is held away from the body of the spacecraft. The spacecraft is three-axis stabilized with no scan platform. The main 596 N thruster wil use hydrazine and N2O4 propellant. Control is through 12 4.45 N hydrazine thrusters, mounted in four groups of three (two aft facing and one roll control thruster). The initial propellant load was 216.5 kg of hydrazine and 144 kg of N2O4. Four solar array panels (2 GaAs, 2 SI) provide 980 W of power to the spacecraft. Energy is stored in two 20 Amp-hr nickel hydrogen batteries, and supplied at 28 V DC. Temperature control is primarily passive with multilayer insulation, thermal radiators, and louvers, augmented by electrical heaters. Communications is achieved via the deep space network using the high gain antenna and two low gain antennas, one mounted on the high gain antenna and one on the equipment module. Uplink is in the X-band, downlink in the X and Ka bands. Minimum downlink rate is 21.33 kbps, 2 kbps engineering data downlink, and 10 bps emergency downlink.

Moon to Mars Five Year Retrospective: Mars Pathfinder by Astrobiology Magazine Staffwriter Mars Posted: 09/27/02 Summary: Five years ago today, on September 27, 1997, the Mars Pathfinder lander began to tally up its remarkable mission history. The excitement was non-stop beginning only 3 minutes after landing, when the first signals of success came back to rapt Earth-bound listeners. Five Year Retrospective: Mars Pathfinder Five years ago today, on September 27, 1997, NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory began to lose communication and battery power to the Mars Pathfinder mission, ending its highly successful exploration. Artist conception of Pathfinder's dramatic airbag landing Credit: NASA. The Pathfinder lander, formally named the Carl Sagan Memorial Station following its successful touchdown, landed on July 4, 1997 with its Rover, called Sojourner. Pathfinder returned 2.6 gigabits (2.6 billion bits) of data and 16,000 tantalizing pictures of the Martian landscape, including 550 close-up images from the rover. Assisted by an 11- meter (36-foot) diameter parachute, the spacecraft descended to the surface of Mars and landed, using airbags for the first time to cushion the impact.

It is about half the size of Earth and has a dry, rocky surface and a very thin atmosphere. MARS' SURFACE A Mollweide projection of Mars made from four pictures taken by Hubble Space Telescope in 1999. A storm is visible in the top left near the pole. The surface of Mars is dry, rocky, and mostly covered with iron-rich dust. There are low-lying plains in the northern hemisphere, but the southern hemisphere is dotted with impact craters. The ground is frozen; this permafrost extends for several kilometers.

Martian Time Survey 2.2 THE DARIAN SYSTEM 1986-2005 by Thomas Gangale 1.0 THE DARIAN CALENDAR FOR MARS 1.1 INTRODUCTION Some time in the 21st century, there will be human settlements on Mars. Those pioneers will have left behind on Earth the familiar 24-hour day and the 365-day year, and they will be living and working according to the natural cycles of Mars. A work day will be 13 minutes longer than we're used to back here on Earth, but the work force on Mars will have an extra 26 minutes to show up the next morning. This is because Mars rotates a bit more slowly than Earth does. To devise a practical Martian clock, it's only necessary to take a terrestrial timepiece and slow it down sufficiently. The Martian clock therefore consists of the same units as we are used to on Earth 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, and 24 hours per sol however, each of these Martian units of time are just slightly longer (2.7 percent) than their terrestrial counterparts. Most of the Martian clock applications on the World Wide Web use this system, although some authors, such as
