Twin Mars Rovers: Planning for a Safe Landing The MER spacecraft are coming in at a different time of day than Mars Pathfinder, JPL's Cox said. The ripple effect for MER was extra money spent on a radio link, as well as a decision to plummet toward the red planet at a different time of day, thus encountering a different atmospheric density than Mars Pathfinder, she added. MER teams are pushing hard and fast, and time is at a premium, said Steve Squyres, Cornell University leader of the Athena science payload that each rover will carry. www.space.com /businesstechnology/technology/rover_update_021028.html   (1263 words)

All Systems Go: The Mars Exploration Rovers are Ready for Launch The first recoil from Mars' surface is likely to propel MER hardware upwards of one hundred feet (30 meters) into the thin martian air. There are many nail-biting phases to MER entry, descent, and landing -- a sequence of crucial events spread out over all of six minutes after months of interplanetary travel. Central to spacecraft survival during this swift swan dive is precision use of small and large rocket motors to help orient MER hardware properly during the fall toward Mars. www.space.com /businesstechnology/technology/mer_ready_030513.html   (1704 words)

Kids.Net.Au - Encyclopedia > MER NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER) is an unmanned Mars exploration mission that includes sending two Rovers (robots), MER-A ("Spirit") which was successfully launched on June 10, 2003, and MER-B ("Opportunity") which is scheduled to launch on June 28, 2003 to explore the Martian surface and geology. The first robot, MER-A, is planned to land in an area called "Gusev Crater" (believed by scientists to once being a crater lake) on January 4, 2004.

John F. Kennedy Space Center - NASA Direct! MER-A and MER-B How Are They Different Question Board There is a set of international treaties and agreements that regulate the ability of us to take bacteria or organic material or spores to Mars in order to avoid contaminating Mars for future scientific investigations. The Mars Exploration Rover project is what is called a Class B. We’re not involved in the search for life and so we have a level of cleanliness that we did when we put the rovers together. Their transmitters and receiver frequencies are designed to talk to Earth, through the Deep Space Network, and they are designed to talk through Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor, two spacecraft that are in orbit around Mars that have UHF relay capability. www.ksc.nasa.gov /nasadirect/elv/merb/theis-ab.htm   (1593 words)

The Mars Exploration Rover Mission The MER mission is part of the Mars Exploration Program which plans to take advantage of every launch opportunity to send robotic explorers to Mars. Looking at the MER entry strategy, we immediately see that it would not be possible to use the same strategy for a manned mission. The MER mission utilizes a direct entry, followed by a parachute and rocket slowed descent and an airbag-cushioned landing. ccar.colorado.edu /asen5050/projects/projects_2002/barker   (2423 words)

MER-A launched more than two weeks late on June 10, and the launch team's attention turned to assembling MER-B on pad LC17B. In the large audience were a lot of the people who had built the MERs, and everyone was pretty excited; there were whoo-whoos, yelps and whoopees coming from behind us all through the briefing, especially when people recognised themselves and each other in the various slides and film clips. quest.arc.nasa.gov /qna/sfbios/BTjournals/070703.html   (3279 words)

Mars Relay--- MERL For the several minutes prior to the receiving telemetry from the MER, the MR is continually checking for the MER signal and its own, internal health and welfare. After landing, the MER went through a long and complicated process of deflating the airbags, righting itself, opening the lander petals, and deploying various appendages such as the Pancam Mast Assembly (PMA) on which the Navigation and Panorama cameras and MiniTES thermal spectrometer are mounted. The principal factor determining along which path data were returned from the MER is the length of time that elapses between when the data are acquired and when they show up at JPL, called the data latency. www.msss.com /mars_images/mars_relay/mer_role/index.html   (1189 words)

US probe launched on mission to Mars The spacecraft is to traverse some 500 million kilometers (300 million miles) over seven months, then drop into the Gusev crater, 15 degrees south of the Martian equator, in early January 2004.

2003 Mars Exploration Rovers 2nd Announcement This change necessitates a shift in the latitude band for MER-B southward from 15°N–5°S to 10°N–10°S. Although this change results in substantially improved data links and power budgets early in the mission, some 31 sites previously identified for MER-B are now outside the latitude land and will no longer be considered (see Table 1). For MER-A note the difference in orientation relative to what was used previously, as well as the smaller ellipse size at the southern latitudes. Although this list would obviously change after the first landing site workshop and the resultant identification of high-priority landing sites, it is to the advantage of all involved to have a preliminary list for initial MOC acquisition as soon as possible. www.lpi.usra.edu /meetings/mer2003/mer2003.2nd.html   (1006 words)

SPACE.com -- NASA Delays First Mars Rover Launch at Least Three Days Mars Exploration Rover-A (MER-A) -- a two-part spacecraft that includes a lander amd rover -- is now targeted to fly no earlier than June 8, said Kennedy Space Center spokesman Bruce Buckingham. The two MER missions will seek to determine the history of climate and water at two sites on Mars where conditions may once have been favorable to life. Both rovers are identical and carries five scientific instruments including a panoramic camera and microscope, plus a rock abrasion tool that will grind away the outer surfaces of rocks to expose their interiors for examination. www.space.com /missionlaunches/mer_update_030527.html   (440 words)
