JSF Demo Model AF-1 Gets A MakeoverFort Worth TX (SPX) Apr 15, 2010 AF-1, the first optimized Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II conventional takeoff and landing test plane, rolls out of the F-35 Final Finishes Facility sporting a new hand-painted fin flash on its vertical stabilizers. While at the facility, the plane also received highly accurate robot-applied coatings. The stealth jet flew twice before entering an intensive period of ground testing, and is preparing for its return to flight and ferry to the Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. test site. ... read more |

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Mar 30, 2010For the last few months, Astrobiology Magazine has been running a poll to see what our readers think should be the next target of a mission in the solar system. The poll was not scientific, and no information was collected on participants - it was simply open to any readers who viewed the site. With over 1450 votes, the results are interesting to compare to current mission objectives being ... more  
Dampier, Australia (AFP) March 28, 2010The heavy clank of machinery rings out across a seemingly deserted Outback mine site as an invisible satellite signal fires Rio Tinto's production line into motion. Massive stackers and reclaimers begin the task of sifting through rust-coloured piles of rich iron ore, readying them for the rail journey hundreds of kilometres from mine to port. It's an industrious scene - with hardly a l ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 26, 2010Weird coatings on rocks beside a young Martian crater remain puzzling after a preliminary look at data from examination of the site by NASA's Opportunity rover. The rover spent six weeks investigating the crater called "Concepcion" before resuming its long journey this month. The crater is about 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter. Dark rays extending from it, as seen from orbit, flagged it in ... more |

NASA Mars Rover Getting Smarter As It Gets OlderPasadena CA (JPL) Mar 24, 2010 NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, now in its seventh year on Mars, has a new capability to make its own choices about whether to make additional observations of rocks that it spots on arrival at a new location. Software uploaded this winter is the latest example of NASA taking advantage of the twin Mars rovers' unanticipated longevity for real Martian test drives of advances made in robotic autonomy for future missions. Now, Opportunity's computer can examine images that the rover t ... read more |
