Spirit Right-Front And Right-Rear Wheels Remain StalledPasadena CA (JPL) Dec 25, 2009 Spirit's drive on Sol 2120 (Dec. 19, 2009) included commands for using all six wheels. However, the right-front wheel rotated less than 2 degrees and the right-rear wheel did not rotate at all. The other four wheels completed enough rotations to drive about 10 meters (33 feet), but produced no measurable forward motion by the rover. The rover team plans to command further driving this week while continuing to assess the possibility of getting more motion from the right-front wheel. ... read more |

Zirakpur, India (SPX) Dec 23, 2009Only 20% of the 12,000-odd artificial objects, including satellites, are operational in space, but unwanted "debris" are causing a lot of problem in launching new ones, former ISRO director Suresh Naik said. There are around 12,000 satellites and other artificial objects in the space, out of which only 20% are active. Satellites have a life of 15-20 years, and then they get lost in space ... more |
