NASA Parachute Sensor Testing Could Make EPIC Mars Landings

Edwards AFB CA (SPX) Jul 01, 2024
Landing rovers and helicopters on Mars is a challenge. It's an even bigger challenge when you don't have enough information about how the parachutes are enduring strain during the descent to the surface. Researchers at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, are experimenting with readily available, highly elastic sensors that can be fixed to a parachute during testing to

New Seismic Data Reveals Daily Meteorite Impacts on Mars

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jul 01, 2024
An international team of researchers, co-led by ETH Zurich and Imperial College London, has derived the first estimate of global meteorite impacts on Mars using seismic data. Their findings indicate between 280 to 360 meteorites strike the planet each year, forming impact craters greater than 8 meters (about 26 feet) across. Geraldine Zenhaeusern, who co-led the study, commented, "This rate was
