There's a special sort of hopeful-nervousness I feel on a weekend with a challenging drive. It's how I felt this last weekend, waiting for our rover to try and execute the 11 meter drive that was supposed to get us off a large rock precluding any arm activities over the weekend. Well, we did get off the rock (yay!) but our wheels still slipped in the surrounding sand and ended the drive early in

In recent developments from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the primary rocket engine designed for future manned lunar missions has undergone its sixth trial run. This round of testing brings the cumulative operation time of the 130-tonne class liquid oxygen kerosene rocket engine to an impressive 3,300 seconds, establishing a new record for China.
