NASA's Curiosity Captures Stunning Views of a Changing Mars Landscape
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jun 23, 2022
Striking rock formations documented by the rover provide evidence of a drying climate in the Red Planet's ancient past.
For the past year, NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has been traveling through a transition zone from a clay-rich region to one filled with a salty mineral called sulfate. While the science team targeted the clay-rich region and the sulfate-laden one for evidence each can offe

A Long History of Flowing Water Recorded in Clay-Bearing Sediments on Mars
Tucson AZ (SPX) Jun 23, 2022
A region on Mars may have been repeatedly habitable until relatively late in Martian history, says a new paper by Planetary Science Institute Senior Scientist Catherine Weitz.
Some of the most extensively preserved landforms on Mars created by running water on its surface are found within the Margaritifer Terra region where deposits of clay-bearing sediments have been identified. "The pres

China looks set to build space solar power station
Xian, China (SPX) Jun 23, 2022
China has made a milestone advance in its effort to build a solar power station in space to convert the sunlight in outer space into an electrical supply to drive the satellites in orbits or transmit power back to the Earth.
A research team from Xidian University has wrapped up the world's first full-chain, system-wide ground verification for space solar power station this month, displayin

NASA announces Artemis concept awards for nuclear power on moon
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are working together to advance space nuclear technologies. The agencies have selected three design concept proposals for a fission surface power system design that could be ready to launch by the end of the decade for a demonstration on the moon. This technology would benefit future exploration under the Artemis umbrella.
The contracts, to be awarded through the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory, are each valued at approximately $5 million. The contracts fund the development of initial design concepts for a 40-kilowatt class fissionpower system planned to last at least 10 years in the lunar environment.
Relatively small and lightweight compared to other power systems, fission systems are reliable and could enable continuous power regardless of location, available sunlight, and other natural environmental conditions.
