What's up in the solar system in March 2012
ЦитироватьThe event that will probably generate the most planetary news in March is the 43rd annual Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (Twitter hashtag: #LPSC43), which will take place from March 19-23 in Houston, Texas. Geologists who study solid surfaces from planets to space dust and from Mercury to Saturn will be presenting updates on their latest work with data from spacecraft and laboratory. I was forced to skip it last year, so I'm very excited to be able to attend the whole thing this year! As always, I will be wishing I could clone myself to attend more sessions, and would be very happy for volunteers who would be willing to share their notes with me, or even to write a guest blog entry or two.

Turning to the activities of robots across our solar system, this month will see GRAIL begin its science mission measuring the Moon's gravity field. MESSENGER will complete its primary mission at Mercury, celebrating its one-Earth-year-in-orbit anniversary with a big data release, and immediately begin work on its one-year extended mission. Mars will pass its solstice, ushering in warmer days for Opportunity. Coincidentally, this month will see Jupiter's southern winter solstice, too, though there are no spacecraft there to notice it. Out at Saturn, Cassini will have two encounters with Enceladus this month, one of them distant, one of them at 74 kilometers altitude. Here's Olaf Frohn's diagram of where all our wandering spacecraft are as of Wednesday. Compare it to last month's to see how things have moved.



Finally, a few random items, mostly from JPL's Space Calendar:

    * On March 3, Mars is at opposition.
    * On March 5, Mercury is at its greatest elongation. The next day, it will be only 3 degrees from Uranus. This will be a good week to try to observe the inner 7 planets in one night!
    * March 11 is the start of Daylight Saving Time in the U.S., which means we'll lose an hour but hopefully my kids won't be waking up so dang early for a while. But it also means we'll be royally confused talking with Europeans, because their daylight saving time doesn't start for two more weeks, on the 25th.
    * On March 15, Venus will be within 3.3 degrees of Jupiter. They'll make a lovely pair! but it'll be even better on March 25 when the crescent Moon will pass right between them.
    * Our vernal equinox is on March 20 at 05:14 UT.

Венера-Д пропала с картинки. Экзомарс-2018 тоже.
Go MSL!

What's Up in the Solar System in September 2012

ЦитироватьWelcome to our monthly roundup of the activities of our intrepid robotic explorers! And boy, has it been an active time.

Curiosity has begun roving Mars, and Opportunity's not wasting any time either. The big rover is on the way to Glenelg; the small one is on the inner rim of Endeavour crater, checking out an awesome-looking outcrop of sedimentary rock.

Dawn has just departed Vesta and begun the more than two-year cruise to Ceres. Juno is in the middle of a big deep-space maneuver, setting up next year's Earth flyby. GRAIL has begun its first mission extension, and MESSENGER is planning a second.

Venus Express, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, ARTEMIS, Odyssey, Mars Express, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and Cassini are carrying on with their orbital missions. And New Horizons, Deep Impact, Akatsuki, Rosetta, ICE, and Voyager 1 and 2 are traveling onward. No one is sure whether IKAROS belongs in this list or not -- contact has not been made for nine months.

Go MSL!
