☆ What happened to the extra copies of the Voyager mission's golden records
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Ana Altchek | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Elon Musk posted on X that he has a Voyager golden record. Two golden records went to space on the twin Voyager spacecraft. AdvertisementBut his post had me wondering: Who has the original golden records? When I started looking into the golden records, I noticed conflicting numbers for how many originals were created. While the golden records on the Voyager spacecraft are expected to last over a billion years, Lomberg said the probes will probably crash on another planet or star eventually.

☆ Odysseus lunar lander is sideways on the moon after historic touchdown

CNN —The Odysseus lunar lander is sideways on the moon, Intuitive Machines, the company that built the vehicle, said during a news conference Friday. Steve Altemus, chief executive officer and cofounder of Intuitive Machines, uses a model to represent how the Odysseus spacecraft landed on the moon. ‘A punch in the stomach’Notably, Intuitive Machines realized prior to descent that Odysseus had a faulty piece of navigation equipment. The hack ultimately worked, and the spacecraft made it to the lunar surface in operational condition. All told, Odysseus will likely be able to spend about nine days operating on the lunar surface, according to Tim Crain, Intuitive Machines’ chief technology officer.

☆ Odysseus moon mission will aim for landing near lunar south pole

The imminent launch attempt follows closely on the heels of a separate US lunar landing mission that failed in January. After burning through its fuel, the rocket will detach from Odie, leaving the lunar lander to fly solo through space. Houston-based Intuitive Machines developed the Nova-C moon lander under a NASA initiative. Packed on board the lunar lander are six NASA science and technology payloads. The device is set to pop off of the lunar lander as it approaches the surface and capture images of the vehicle’s descent.

☆ NASA's inflatable heat shield could land humans on Mars
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
The inflatable aeroshell looked to be in great condition after recovery, proving it can survive the rigors of atmospheric entry. The result: “a pretty resounding yes,” said Trudy Kortes, director of technology demonstrations at NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate. The mission aims to test the inflatable heat shield technology that could also land larger robotic missions on Venus or Saturn’s moon Titan or return hefty payloads to Earth. But an inflatable aeroshell could circumnavigate that dependency — and open up sending heavier missions to different planets. A double rainbow appeared across the sky over the LOFTID heat shield as it was transferred at port in Hawaii.
