NASA's ATHLETE Warms Up For High Desert RunPasadena CA (JPL) Aug 02, 2010 Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 02, 2010 Engineers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are currently putting their All-Terrain, Hex-Limbed, Extra-Terrestrial Explorer (ATHLETE) through a series of long-drive tests on the long, dirt roads found adjacent to JPL. The JPL grounds do not include an unpaved area of sufficient size for testing such a large robot over a long distance. Some of the dirt roads in the Arroyo Seco (a wash located next to JPL) are wide enough for ATHLETE, and its close proximity ... read more |

Washington (AFP) July 6, 2010NASA has abandoned plans to return to the Moon but videogamers can explore the lunar landscape with a free new online game released by the US space agency. "Moonbase Alpha" allows players to join an exploration team in a futuristic 3D settlement on the south pole of the Moon. "In Moonbase Alpha, you assume the exciting role of an astronaut working to further human expansion and research, ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Jul 05, 2010Complex interactions between Saturn and its satellites have led scientists using NASA's Cassini spacecraft to a comprehensive model that could explain how oxygen may end up on the surface of Saturn's icy moon Titan. The presence of these oxygen atoms could potentially provide the basis for pre-biological chemistry. The interactions are captured in two papers, one led by John Cooper and ano ... more 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jul 02, 2010In a new analysis of a lunar sample collected by Apollo 17, researchers have detected and dated carbon on the moon in the form of graphite - the sooty stuff of pencil lead - which survived from around 3.8 billion years ago, when the moon was heavily bombarded by meteorites. Up to now, scientists thought the trace amounts of carbon previously detected on the surface of the moon came from th ... more |

Building A Better Robot Arm For Lunar RoversLondon, Canada (SPX) Jun 30, 2010 Western professor Gordon Osinski (Earth Sciences, Physics AND Astronomy) is leading a Canadian science team in developing a robotic arm that will potentially be used by NASA to obtain rock samples from the moon. The MoonRise project (Lunar South Pole-Aitken Basin Sample Return Mission), led by Washington University (St.Louis, MO) professor Bradley Jolliff, is one of three contracts awarded from The Canadian Space Agency to develop three different concept studies for Canada's participation in NASA' ... read more |
