Era otra de las 49 sondas que se han enviado desde 1960 para ayudar a desarrollar el programa espacial. ¿El objetivo de la NASA? Averiguar si el planeta Marte puede albergar vida humana. Por desgracia, antes de que pasara un año, la NASA perdió el contacto con la sonda. A dia de hoy nadie sabe que paso. Fue un verdadero golpe para todos los esfuerzos y el dinero que la NASA había invertido en el proyecto.Se han producido innumerables películas e historias de ciencia ficción sobre la vida extraterrestre, y la mayoría se centran en el planeta Marte. De todos los planetas de nuestro sistema solar, Marte es el más intrigante y, en cierto modo, el más misterioso. ¿Sabías que, aunque Marte es conocido como el planeta rojo, en realidad no es rojo? Es más bien de color caramelo.¿Sabías que Marte tiene el mayor cañón del sistema solar? Si el gigantesco desfiladero estuviera en la Tierra, sería tan ancho como la distancia de Los Ángeles a Chicago.¿Sabías que Marte tiene el mayor volcán del sistema solar? El gigante cono tiene 550 kilómetros [341 millas) de ancho, y cubre un área del tamaño de Arizona. Pero eso no es todo: tiene casi 27 kilómetros (16 millas) de altura. Compáralo con el Everest, que solo tiene unos 9 kilómetros (5,5 millas) de altitud.¿Sabías que Marte tiene casquetes polares como los que tenemos en la Tierra en los polos norte y sur?¿Sabías que una nave espacial tardaría seis meses en llegar a Marte, pero la tripulación tendría que esperar un año y medio antes de regresar? Marte y la Tierra suelen estar bastante alejados en sus órbitas, pero cada dos años los planetas se alinean.Dios creó nuestros planetas para que los veamos en nuestro cielo nocturno, pero debe de haberlos creado con algún otro propósito. Seguramente pretendía que tuvieran alguna otra función que la de ser meros cuerpos celestes orbitando alrededor del Sol. ¿Los crearon, de hecho, con el plan futuro de que un día los habitemos, cuando la Tierra se quede sin espacio? Algún día se lo veremos a Dios mismo.

PASCAL LEE is a Planetary Scientist with the SETI Institute, Founder of the Mars Institute, and he's Director of the NASA Haughton-Mars Project (HMP) at NASA Ames Research Center [a field research project on Devon Island, High Arctic, where they plan future human missions to the Moon and Mars]. We talked about Pascal's time as a meteorite-hunter

Der Mars ist der einzige bekannte Planet, der komplett von Robotern bewohnt ist. Wir haben in den letzten 60 Jahren jede Menge Sonden dorthin geschickt. Das ist öfter schief gegangen als es geklappt hat. Warum? Hört ihr in der neuen Folge der Sternengeschichten.

Sandra Day O'Connor sworn in. Mars Observer blasts off.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why are we as a human race so fascinated with Mars? Where did this desire come from? What have we sent there already and what are we sending now? Find out in this episode of Space, But Messier!   News: UPDATE: Chinese Space Station Tiangong-1 still falling, but China has been monitoring Tiangong-1 and has determined that the space lab will burn up after entering the atmosphere and the remaining wreckage will fall into a designated area in the sea, without endangering the earth. NASA is building a HAMMER Not a hammer like one in your toolbox at home, instead, they’re building a Hypervelocity Asteroid Mitigation Mission for Emergency Response (HAMMER). The plan is to protect our planet from asteroids before they can reach Earth. This project is headed up by NASA, the US National Security Administration and a weapons lab from the US Energy Department. There are two ways the system could prevent an asteroid from slamming into Earth. Firstly, it would hit an asteroid to knock it off course and miss our planet. The second, and infinitely more dangerous, is that HAMMER would detonate an on-board nuclear warhead to splinter or destroy it altogether. Part of the reason for the development of HAMMER is NASA's monitoring of an asteroid named Bennu. (Ben-noo) Bennu can be seen every six years from Earth – but in 2135 it is expected to pass between us and the Moon. That could tweak its orbit and set it on a direct course for our planet. This year, NASA’s Osiris-Rex probe will arrive and spend a year surveying Bennu, which orbits the sun at 63,000mph.

Mars may be our closest planetary neighbor, close in size and the length our days. We may even be able to survive there for a bit. But why does everybody want to go to the red planet? What is Mars? Mars is much colder than Earth, with an average temperature of -80F or -60C 38% Earth’s gravity. (Moon is 16% of Earth’s gravity) The atmosphere of Mars is also almost 100 times thinner than Earth's, but it is still thick enough to support weather, clouds and winds. However, if you’ve seen the Martian, you may be wondering how accurate the storm seen is. For those who haven’t seen it… Giant dust devils often kick up oxidized iron dust that covers the surface  and every 5 1/2 Earth years, Mars has a global dust storm. That being said, It is unlikely that even these dust storms could strand an astronaut on Mars. Even the wind in the largest dust storms would not knock over or rip apart mechanical equipment. The winds in the strongest Martian storms top out at about 60 miles per hour, less than half the speed of some hurricane-force winds on Earth. Lastly, IT SNOWS ON MARS, instead of water, it’s made of carbon dioxide and looks more like fog than snow. History - Canali In the 1800s, telescopes were rapidly growing in size and in Milan, Italy, 1877, Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli, began mapping and naming areas on Mars. He named the dark and light areas as "seas" and "continents". He also saw channels on Mars and called them "canali." Canali translates to channels, but it was mistranslated into "canals" in English implying intelligent life on Mars. Because of the then recent completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, people assumed that Mars must have intelligent life. Then in 1894 in Flagstaff, Arizona, Percival Lowel observed Mars himself. Knowling of the recent discovery of canals on Mars, his observations confirmed this these straight lines on the planet and mapped hundreds of them. Lowell believed that the straight lines were Martian-made canals built to transport water from the polar caps to the equator. In 1895, he published his first book on Mars with many illustrations and it was game over. 1897 - Kurd Lasswitz - Two Planets 1898 - H.G. Wells - War of the Worlds 1949 - Robert Heinline - Red Planet 1950 - Ray Bradbury - The Martian Chronicles 1951 - Arthur C. Clarke - The Sands of Mars 1961 - Robert Heinline - Stranger in a Strange Land … leading to today 2011 - Andy Weir - The Martian Satellites (Past) Mariner Spacecraft (1964-1971) were designed to be our first glimpses of Mars, being sent to Mars on a fly-by mission with MAriner 4 sending back our first ever images of another planet and Mariner 9 being the first ever satellite to enter Mars’ orbit. Mars Observer (1992) and Mars Climate Orbiter (1998) lost contact upon arrival Mars Global Surveyor arrived (1997)  and orbited Mars for 4 times longer than expected. (Present) Mars Odyssey (2001) studies the composition of the planet's surface, water and ice detection, as well as radiation. Mars Express (2003) - with ESA- studies MArs’s atmosphere and surface from a polar orbit NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (2006) carries the most powerful telescopic camera ever to another planet.  The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft will provide information about Mars’s atmosphere, climate history and potential habitability of the planet Rovers (Past) In 1976, NASA’s Viking 1 & 2 became the first spacecraft to safely land on another planet.  The Mars Pathfinder mission (1997) was meant to be a demonstration of technology. With the Carl sagan Memorial Station as it’s lander and the Sojourner Rover. However, they ended up sending back 2.3 billion bits of information, 17,000 images, and more than 15 chemical analyses from rocks and soil. Mars Polar Lander (1999) was meant to land on the frozen terrain near the edge of Mars' south polar cap and dig for water ice with a robotic arm, but unfortunately lost upon arrival The Phoenix Mars Lander  (2008) successfully landed on the north polar region of Mars and it successfully dug up and analyzed icy soil. (Present) Mars Exploration Rovers (Spirit and Opportunity) (2004) search for evidence of liquid water that may have been present in the planet's past. The rovers are identical to each other, but are exploring different regions of Mars. Mars Science Laboratory (2012) is twice as long and three times as heavy as Spirit and Opportunity, Curiosity mission is to tell us if Mars is habitable, can we live there.

Tin Star (Roaring Brook Press) Skylight Books' very own Cecil Castellucci returns to launch her newest YA novel, a sci-fi adventure for the ages.  Cecil will follow a reading from her novel with a Q&A with JPL scientist Steve Collins! On their way to start a new life, Tula and her family travel on the "Prairie Rose," a colony ship headed to a planet in the outer reaches of the galaxy. All is going well until the ship makes a stop at a remote space station, the Yertina Feray, and the colonist's leader, Brother Blue, beats Tula within an inch of her life. An alien, Heckleck, saves her and teaches her the ways of life on the space station. When three humans crash land onto the station, Tula's desire for escape becomes irresistible, and her desire for companionship becomes unavoidable. But just as Tula begins to concoct a plan to get off the space station and kill Brother Blue, everything goes awry, and suddenly romance is the farthest thing from her mind.Cecil Castellucci is a two-time MacDowell Colony fellow, an award-winning author of five books for young adults, and the YA and children's book editor of the Los Angeles Review of Books. Born in New York City, Cecil lives in Los Angeles. For the research of Tin Star, Cecil attended LaunchPad, a NASA funded workshop intended to teach writers of science fiction about the most up-to-date and correct space science. Steve Collins is an Attitude Control engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.  Most recently Cruise ACS System Engineer for the Mars Curiosity Rover, Steve has worked on numerous NASA/JPL missions including Epoxi, Dawn, Deep Impact, MER, Deep Space One, Galileo and Mars Observer.  In flight, Steve's job includes keeping the spacecraft pointed in the right direction, performing trajectory corrections and figuring out "what the heck just happened??"  When he's not flying a robotic spacecraft around the solar system, Steve can be found playing soccer, racing his Miata, jamming on the Theremin with the band Artichoke, or acting on-stage with TACIT, Caltech's resident theater company.

My recap of 1993 continues today with a recollection of some events from the second half of 1993.  I think my space geek is showing just a little -- of the four events I cover here, two are related to NASA and space exploration (the loss of the Mars Observer and the first repair mission for the Hubble Space Telescope).  I also discuss the Battle of Mogadishu (remembered mostly today through the book and film Black Hawk Down) and the Maastricht Treaty, which provided the framework for today's European Union.  The picture at the left is an artist's rendering of the Hubble Space Telescope.

In this episode, we had special guest, Phil Plait, on the show to answer some questions sent in over the past week by several listeners; A New Planet? Mars as big as the Moon? The War of the Worlds Re-Make, and the new Mars Observer launch. (comment on this episode) Special Links: Podcast Pickle, Donal Hinely, Bad Astronomer

Ready to geek out on Mars? Carl and Richard chat about the Mars Science Laboratory's arrival at Mars. Richard digs into the history of Mars exploration, from the Mariner missions in the 1960s to the amazing Viking landers in the 1970s, and finally to the modern era with the loss of Mars Observer and the triumphs of rovers like Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity and finally Curiosity. The conversation goes on to the future of Mars exploration - what about a sample return mission? What will it take to get humans on the surface of Mars?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
