«Mars-500» project 4th of November 2011 is the finish of the experiment on simulation of a manned flight to Mars (“Mars-500” project). After the exit out of the experimental facility six crewmembers will be in observation regime (without a possibility to communicate with media), during which they will pass a thorough medical examination. Completion of the experiment and the crew exit out of the facility will be transmitted on-line through the satellite. In the case of any questions, related to the technical issues and parametres of providing a signal (the signal itself is free) please, contact to senior Planning Manager of the RT channel Murat Gavasheli (tel.:+79152183354). Press-conference with the participation of crewmembers and the project management will be held on 8th of October 2011, at 12.00, in the conference-hall of Russian news and information agency “RIA-Novosti” (Moscow), and we invite media to this event. Here are phone numbers for media accreditation in “RIA-Novosti”: +7(495)637-5019.
True Color Images from Mars Rovers posted on Nov, 18 2010 @ 05:01 PM Not sure what would give them that idea? BUT having a look at the Viking below gives us a true color of the lander in Earth light for comparison. Here is the typical "NASA RED" version And here is the typical "CONSPIRACY BLUE" version Seems both sides of the Color Controversy are not quite being honest True Color of Viking Lander Carl Sagan with a Viking Lander Somewhere in Death Valley Somewhere near John Lear's house... Found this one parked on a Beach somewhere in California Well that wasn't the point but... a side step off of Mars... Lunar Excursion Module Parked under some Trees, Philidelphia
Into The Universe With Stephen Hawking: Aliens NASA Curiosity Rover To Drill First Martian Sandstone 'Windjana' : Science By Rebekah Marcarelli r.marcarelli@hngn.com | Apr 27, 2014 02:48 PM EDT "NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has driven within robotic-arm's reach of the sandstone slab at the center of this April 23 view from the rover's Mast Camera. The rover team plans to have Curiosity examine a target patch on the rock, called "Windjana," to aid a decision about whether to drill there." (Photo : NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS) NASA's Curiosity rover is set to inspect a slab of sandstone that could be a potential drilling target. The rock could be the first drilling target that is not a mudstone, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory news release reported. The stone was dubbed "Windjana," after a gorge located in Western Australia. The rover will inspect the rock using its camera and X-ray spectrometer and will also brush dust away from a segment of it. If chosen as a drilling site the rover will collect dust samples from deep within the rock and deliver them to onboard laboratory instruments.
Italian Mars Enthusiast Finds New "Face" on the Red Planet BeforeItsNews Wow this is some find ! It was sent to us from Matteo Ianneo in Italy. Bravo. Sure looks like a face to me. Forty-six year old Ianneo says he is passionate about the riddles of Mars. Ianneo says he discovered the new face on Mars by examining pictures sent back to Earth from an ESA probe orbiting the Red Planet and worked into Google's map of Mars. See ALL IMAGES HERE
Planets From Hell - How the Universe Works Documentary | HD 720p Mission to Mars Mars has a reddish-orange color caused by the iron-rich minerals in its soil. A fine-grained reddish dust blankets the planet and can be lifted into the atmosphere when blown by the wind. Martian dust storms range from small " dust devils " to an occasional spectacular event that shrouds the entire planet for months. One of the most striking features of Mars is Valles Marineris , a system of canyons located along the equator. Another spectacular feature of the Red Planet is Olympus Mons , the tallest volcano in the Solar System. One of the most exciting discoveries made at Mars is that liquid water once flowed across the planet's surface. Many regions of Mars consist of low-lying plains . Like other bodies in the Solar System, Mars has many impact craters that were formed by natural objects striking the planet. The polar regions of Mars contain stacks of finely-layered deposits up to several kilometers thick.
What's up with all the Coin like finds on Mars? posted on Sep, 13 2010 @ 05:44 PM Originally posted by Irish Matador I really like the picture you coloured. Makes it look like an authentic coin. I think I even see a face What are your own thoughts on these? Well I called them 'coins' because that is the going word on the internet and better not to confuse images. BUT that one I colored... Just for fun... and to give Phage and ArMaP something to work on... Originally posted by muzzleflash I know you called them "coins" but could it be some sort of fossilized remnants? Well yes they might be... Here is one of the best ones, also found within a R.A.T excavation...
