"Curiosity" rovers scheduled for the U.S. Eastern time at 1:31 on August 6 to Mars.
Total
project investment of up to $ 2.5 billion, is by far the most expensive
of the Nike shox NZ Mars exploration project, the United States, "Washington Post"
So describe, which is the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space
Administration a "gamble". If the "curious" errors, such a huge investment in Mars project will be halted.
"Curiosity" No. November last year, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center. It
will be the surface of Mars, "Parade", "Washington Post" said,
"curiosity" and the goal is not to find water, but looking for a
carbon-based organics.
Since the 1960s, the United States to launch a dozen Mars probe, only six times a Mars landing. "Curiosity" can become a successful seventh, is unknown.
U.S. Space Agency, said on the 4th, "Weather Forecast", the Mars rover landing near the good weather, suitable for landing. Mars,
on the 6th will be with the Nike shox Dream help of good weather, "the Aspen
temperature Vasa-vada, the Mars rover project scientist, said in a press
conference held on the 4th.
As
planned, the "curiosity" will be landing in the Martian the Gaelic
crater near the center of Mountains, the time for the Greenwich time at
5:31 on the 6th, is expected to "landing" is seven minutes long.
Vasa
Wada said, near the landing point two days ago a strong dust storm, but
now this dust storm has been weakened, and the hazards of dust on the
rover, "cloud" is not expected to rover into the atmosphere, landing and
landing constitutes any substantial impact. "
"Curiosity" landing point is scheduled to Mars the Gaelic crater center foot of the mountain. Gaelic
crater is located in the south of the equator of Nike shox Dress Mars, named after the
late Australian astronomer Walter Gail, formed about 350 million to 380
million years ago, about 154 km in diameter, covering an area equivalent
to Connecticut, USA and Rhode Island State. Layer
tilting of the crater center hill in Gaelic with clay and sulfuric
acid, landing around the formation of the alluvial fan of sediment, the
formation of these substances and landscapes are water-related.
The
most thrilling period in the process of the whole "curious" to Mars
than to enter - and fall - landing process, the stage abbreviated as
EDLs, refers to the spacecraft to a speed of 5.9 kilometers per second
hit the top of the atmosphere of Mars. began the landing process. EDL
process lasted just seven minutes (known as the terrorist 7 minutes),
the rover safely landed on the Martian surface as the end marker. From
the start 10 minutes before exposure to top of the atmosphere of Mars
detector discard cruise level, cut off attached to the decreased level
known as the "sky crane" "curiosity" and the number of cables, the
spacecraft will experience a total of six different attitude, which
allows the commencement of stage action.
"Curiosity" of the landing on Mars, was undoubtedly the most exciting air suspension links. Space
Agency to adopt a new "sky crane" system, about 20 meters away from the
surface of Mars a high degree of Nike shox Cartoon order "curious" suspension at rest,
but will put it down. Since this system has never been previously practical exercises, so the landing suspense.
Lavery,
Project Officer, said, "curiosity" in the landing process, has been
around Mars, the other three detectors will promptly send signals to the
ground control center, control center is the fastest in 14 minutes
after landing in the "curiosity" to confirm its safe landing.
U.S. Mars Society 15th annual international opening of the 3rd brightest to discuss the "curiosity". The meeting was attended by the U.S. Planetary Society President Jim Bell is no need to worry about. "I
want to say that we should fully trust the engineering team, they spend
years to build out the system ... they make where we landed safely."
Arizona
State University, Earth and Space Exploration professor had to lead a
team for the now-retired Mars Rover "Spirit" and "Opportunity" the
development of Panoramic Camera color imaging system. He
told the audience after the completion of the mission of "courage",
stranded Mars, "it has not been stolen ... it's wheels are still ... the
rover is still there a good life."
According
to U.S. media reports, NASA plans to let some of the American people
can see the "curiosity" board Mars live television. NASA
officials said NASA's live television coverage of New York's Times
Square, where the giant electronic screen synchronous playback of the
scene picture. Broadcast start time from the U.S. Eastern time at 23:30 on August 5th (continued until 4:00 am the next day.
John
glycopyrrolate Rumsfeld, assistant administrator of Nike shox Torch NASA's Science
Mission Directorate, said in a statement: "In the city that never
sleeps, Times Square is to allow New Yorkers to participate in this
historic event, a good place when you recall the history of All major events, you will think of Times Square, I can not think of what better place to commemorate the big news from Mars. "
