/////////////////////////////////////////// Rosetta update: Two close flybys of an increasingly active comet Posted: 21 Apr 2015 01:07 PM PDT http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily...ta-update.html In the two months since I last checked up on the Rosetta mission, the comet has heated up, displaying more and more jet activity. Rosetta completed very close flybys on February 14 and March 28, taking amazing photos. But comet dust is making navigation difficult, so the mission is now keeping a respectful distance from the comet and replanning its future path. /////////////////////////////////////////// Development of the OSIRIS-REx Sampling System: TAGSAM and the SRC Posted: 21 Apr 2015 02:55 AM PDT http://www.planetary.org/blogs/guest...siris-rex.html The OSIRIS-REx team has been busy assembling and testing the Touch-and-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM) and the Sample Return Capsule (SRC). |
