/////////////////////////////////////////// NASA Kicks Off a Private Space Race Between Boeing and SpaceX Posted: 17 Sep 2014 10:55 AM PDT http://www.planetary.org/blogs/casey...vate-race.html Boeing and SpaceX have won multi-billion dollar contracts to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station. /////////////////////////////////////////// Comet Siding Spring Mars encounter: One Mars Express plan becomes two Posted: 17 Sep 2014 08:44 AM PDT http://www.planetary.org/blogs/guest...two-plans.html The Mars Express Flight Control Team at ESOC have been actively preparing for the flyby of comet C/2013 A1/Siding Spring on October 19. Initial estimates gave the possibility that Mars Express might be hit by 2 or 3 high-speed particles. Happily, additional observations by ground and space telescopes have shown the risk to be much lower – and perhaps even as low as zero. In today's blog post, the team explain how this (happy!) real-life, real-time development is affecting their preparations for fly-by. |
