Lockheed Martin and NASA are drawing up a list of contingency plans for the Orion spacecraft that, depending on funding, could still allow for a stripped-down version to fly an orbital test flight in mid-2013.
LOS ANGELES — Recent experiments in Chile could provide hope that living microbes may yet exist on Mars, despite data collected by NASA’s Viking landers in 1976 that have generally been interpreted as showing no evidence of life. The new studies, conducted by Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez and a geophysical team from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), suggest that the Viking data have been misinterpreted and that carbon-rich organic molecules may be present on Mars after all.
LOS ANGELES — The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and Sweden’s Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) are studying joint development of a spacecraft using miniaturized Space Plug-and-Play (SPA) electronics and micro-components. The move, if sanctioned, is expected to lead to a significant expansion of a three-year agreement signed in August 2009 between AFRL and Forsvarets Materielverk, under which technologies are being developed for electronic standardization and miniaturization for airborne and space vehicle applications.
