The Software of the Mars Phoenix Lander


Go here to read an interview about the software used on the Mars lander: http://news.oreilly.com/2008/07/the-software-behind-the-mars-p.html
"In cruise, we had contact about every three days for eight hours. During EDL, we had continuous contact for about I don't know 24-48 hours. Maybe it was longer than that. I'm not really sure. On the surface, we get at least two passes, two full communications passes a day. We actually get passes about every two hours during nighttime operations. The spacecraft has to wake up every couple of hours and verify its power state, and sometimes there's a communications pass associated with that. Generally in terms of command ability and getting science data back, we do two or three passes a day."

I love google and i love the moon.

Word on the street is that google and the moon are going to have a collaboration, and create another form of life for the moon. There are only rough sketches now, but they have a few leads like this

MARS



From the Mars Phoenix lander's twitter:
"MarsPhoenix: The friendly dirt has salts and nutrients magnesium, sodium, potassium and chloride. And pH of 8. You could grow asparagus, say scientists."
How fucking cool is that?

Also, apparently Mars was possibly struck by an object larger than Pluto.
