Physicists explain how type of aurora on Mars is formed
Write a comment
Iowa City IA (SPX) May 19, 2022
Physicists led by the University of Iowa have learned how a type of aurora on Mars is formed. In a new study, the physicists studied discrete aurora, a light-in-the-sky display that occurs mostly during the night in the red planet's southern hemisphere. While scientists have known about discrete aurora on Mars-which also occur on Earth-they did not know how they formed. That's because Mars does

Pasadena CA (JPL) May 19, 2022
On February 22, 2022, NASA's MAVEN spacecraft went into safe mode when the spacecraft's Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) began exhibiting anomalous behavior. The spacecraft is currently out of safe mode, stable and in Earth-nadir mode, pointing its high gain antenna toward Earth to facilitate high-rate communications. In this configuration, however, MAVEN cannot perform communications relays fo

US Air Force and Lockheed Martin complete ARRW hypersonic boosted test flight
Write a comment
Edwards AFB CA (SPX) May 18, 2022
The U.S. Air Force and Lockheed Martin have jointly conducted a hypersonic-boosted flight test of the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) from the service's B-52H Stratofortress.
The successful flight demonstrates the weapon's ability to reach and withstand operational hypersonic speeds, collect crucial data for use in further flight tests, and validate safe separation from
