NASA’s rover project team is preparing to use the same simulated Martian soil material employed by the Phoenix Lander team in 2008 to help develop an escape maneuver for the Spirit rover, which has become bogged down in the planet’s soft surface. “Spirit is obviously in a serious state because she’s embedded,” says John Callas, Spirit and Opportunity project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Callas told Aerospace DAILY that JPL remains committed to saving the stalled rover, despite the fact that it is well past its expected service life.
The General Electric/Rolls-Royce team developing the F136 alternate engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter has begun flight clearance work for the start of the test program in early 2011, despite being targeted for cancellation for the third time in the latest U.S. defense budget.
Latvian low-cost carrier AirBaltic is in talks with Airbus and Boeing over fleet renewal plans. The Riga-based airline is looking at replacing its Boeing 737 fleet, and a decision could be forthcoming later this year. The carrier also operates two Boeing 757-200s. All of its aircraft are leased. It will start to take delivery of the first of eight Bombardier Q400 regional turboprops in November, with all of the aircraft introduced into service by the end of 2010.
