sevenperforce Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 RL-10 restart good. Go for Mars. 44 minutes ago, Canopus said: Insight is cool but is anyone else really excited for the Cubesats? I am. Tiny interplanetary probes are exactly the sort of thing we need to have tested as we expand out into the solar system. EDIT: Aaaaand, MECO-2. Separation in under 10 minutes.

I think I need a redesign of my Centaur -- the one I have has too low fineness and the front end is all messed up. The payload was a lot of fun to build.

James Kerman Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 NASA has announced it will live stream* the InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission landing on Mars at approximately 3 p.m. EST Nov. 26. There are to be about 80 official "Landing Event Watch Parties" taking place around the world (none in Australia ) listed here: https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/timeline/landing/watch-in-person/ Full list of websites broadcasting the event: https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/timeline/landing/watch-online/ * For the pedantic: There will be signal delay. Quote Launched on May 5, InSight marks NASA's first Mars landing since the Curiosity rover in 2012. The landing will kick off a two-year mission in which InSight will become the first spacecraft to study Mars' deep interior. Its data also will help scientists understand the formation of all rocky worlds, including our own. InSight is being followed to Mars by two mini-spacecraft comprising NASA’s Mars Cube One (MarCO), the first deep-space mission for CubeSats. If MarCO makes its planned Mars flyby, it will attempt to relay data from InSight as it enters the planet’s atmosphere and lands. InSight and MarCO flight controllers will monitor the spacecraft's entry, descent and landing from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where all landing events will take place. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-brings-mars-landing-first-in-six-years-to-viewers-everywhere-nov-26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNM Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) 43 minutes ago, James Kerman said: taking place around the world *USA, France (+ Rèunion) & Germany only. Quite possibly this has to do with line-of-sight somehow. Mars will roughly be in eastern quadrature, so it'll not be visible from where we live (other end of the world) because we'll be in the morning. Apropos to those living in Rèunion though, that's an event at 24:00 dead, monday night ! Edited November 14, 2018 by YNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalitor Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 There were a campaign few years ago to collect names of people and send them with probe to Mars. Is that still valid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
