Sols 4253-4254: Pit Stop for Contact Science
Earth planning date: Monday, July 22, 2024 Last week we wrapped up activities at Fairview Dome and started heading south towards our next potential drill location in the Upper Gediz Vallis ridge campaign. We had about a 29-meter about 95 feet drive over the weekend, which set us up nicely for contact science and remote . https://science.nasa.gov/b...#nasa #space #news #nasa_blogs #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_exomars #nasa_mars #nasa_mars_2020 #nasa_mars_express #nasa_mars_odyssey #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_general #nasa_technology #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_iss_research #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_missions #nasa_eileen_m ._collins #nasa_space_shuttle

Sols 4250-4252: So Many Rocks, So Little Time
Earth planning date: Friday, July 19, 2024 As usual with our weekend plans, we are packing a lot of science into todays three-sol plan. I had the fun of planning a complex and large set of arm activities as the Arm Rover Planner today. Since we did not drive in Wednesdays plan, we still are . https://science.nasa.gov/b...#nasa #space #news #nasa_blogs #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_exomars #nasa_mars #nasa_mars_2020 #nasa_mars_express #nasa_mars_odyssey #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_general #nasa_technology #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_iss_research #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_missions #nasa_eileen_m ._collins #nasa_space_shuttle

Designing Space Exploration With the Human in Mind
When designing a new spacecraft or exploration vehicle, there is intense focus on its technical performance. Do its systems perform as expected What kind of power does it need Will it safely reach its destination Equally important, however, is whether that vehicle also works for the humans inside. Can astronauts easily reach critical controls Do 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/cente...#nasa #space #news #nasa_exomars #nasa_mars #nasa_mars_2020 #nasa_mars_express #nasa_mars_odyssey #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_general #nasa_technology #nasa_aeronautics #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_iss_research #nasa_kennedy_space_center #nasa_missions #nasa_eileen_m ._collins #nasa_space_shuttle #nasa_flight_innovation #nasa_green_aviation_tech #nasa_nasa_aircraft
