Mars Curiosity Rover: les dernières nouvelles




Première analyse d'une pierre de la "planète rouge"!

 "The first contact occurred over the weekend, on Saturday, September 22, when NASA engineers maneuvered Curiosity’s 7-foot-long, triple-joined robotic arm into position and used some of the five instruments that are located on the end of it, on the arm’s “hand,” to analyze the rock sample. The rock sample, which is about the size of a football, according to NASA, was dubbed “Jake Matijevic” by the agency, in honor of one of its own: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist Jacob Matijevic, who passed away on August 20 at age 64, after what his obituary described as a lifelong battle with asthma and upper respiratory issues. Matijevic, the man, had served as surface operations systems chief engineer for the Mars Curiosity Rover and was a lead engineer on NASA’s preceding Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity.
