On our weekly day off from planning, we awaited the triage data for Drill Sol 1 to confirm if Tapo Caparo seemed more drillable. After receiving the MAHLI image early in the day, we saw DRT scratches and a divot from the preload test, indicating that this upper unit of the Marker Band might not be as hard as our last few drill targets.

The RNA molecule is commonly recognized as messenger between DNA and protein, but it can also be folded into intricate molecular machines. An example of a naturally occurring RNA machine is the ribosome, that functions as a protein factory in all cells.
Inspired by natural RNA machines, researchers at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) have developed a method called "RNA orig Intelsat completes multi-orbit inflight Wi-Fi tests

Researchers find asteroid redirection a viable possibility for planetary defense
Thursday, 02 March 2023 06:21
Redirecting near-Earth objects like asteroids before they impact the planet is a viable possibility, according to new research published Wednesday.
Conducted last September, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test proved to be more successful than anticipated, according to the research published in the journal Nature.
In October, NASA confirmed the DART mission successfully alter Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumb trick inspires robotic exploration system for caves on Mars and beyond
Wednesday, 01 March 2023 21:33
House hunting on Mars could soon become a thing, and researchers at the University of Arizona are already in the business of scouting real estate that future astronauts could use as habitats. Researchers in the UArizona College of Engineering have developed technology that would allow a flock of robots to explore subsurface environments on other worlds.
"Lava tubes and caves would make perfect habitats for astronauts because you don't have to build a structure; you are shielded from harmful cosmic radiation, so all you need to do is make it pretty and cozy," said Wolfgang Fink, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at UArizona.

SpaceX Dragon crew blasts off for International Space Station
Wednesday, 01 March 2023 19:16
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket blasted off on Thursday to the International Space Station carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and the second Emirati to voyage to space.
The SpaceX Dragon Crew-6 mission launched at 12:34 am (0534 GMT) Thursday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a livestream of the launch showed.
The launch had been scrubbed on Monday just minutes before liftoff because of a clog in a filter that supplies ignition fluid to start the rocket engines.
"Congratulations to the NASA and SpaceX teams for another history-making mission to the International Space Station!" NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement.
