Curiosity has resumed sending images to Earth after a stop of 27 Sol.Apparently the change from computer B to computer A was successful, but the real problem has yet to be solved.In fact, the computer A has a very small memory capacity due to an electrical fault, occurred on Sol 200, which forced technicians to exclude most of the memory banks because they caused an… Read More »Welcome back Curiosity!

After fifteen days of waiting, finally the Mars Express technicians decided to film again the Tharsis region and with it Arsia Mons.At 00:38:27 UT the Mars Webcam takes this beautiful image of the plume coming out of Arsia Mons as it extends over 2000 km to the west!I remind you that the phenomenon was taken for the… Read More »********************* BREAKING NEWS *********************** *******************************************************************
Finally, perhaps stimulated by the recent Italian discovery of underground liquid water lakes, even American researchers re-evaluate the existence of large subsurface ice deposits on Mars.The novelty, which is not so new, consists in a different way to use the Mars SHAllow RADar sounder (SHARAD) on board of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe.A few months ago was published a research that attributed the detections of… Read More »Groundbreaking technique to map recent ice deposits and formations on Mars
The same day, the same planet, two different probes return us extremely contrasting shots.In the ESA shot all four main volcanoes of Mars appear clearly plus the beautiful plume more than 2000 km long that emerges from the western side of Arsia Mons, the southernmost volcano.In the NASA shot the four volcanoes appear more shifted upwards for framing reasons, while remaining easily recognizable. Can you… Read More »Mars, September 24, 2018: now what???
JPL technicians have sent a command to Curiosity to switch to the second computer, since the one currently in operation can no longer store data before sending them to Earth.Fortunately the possibility of a failure of the main computer had already been predicted by installing two computers instead of one.This operation had already been carried out after the Sol 200, five years ago, due to… Read More »Curiosity rover changes “brain” temporarily
As many of you have noticed, the publication on our pages of a sequence of photos depicting the “alleged” volcanic eruption of Arsia Mons, has triggered a vehement media aggression. Following a series of puerile attacks suffered by us and also by those who supported us, we were forced to write this article in order to inform our readers about the real state of the… Read More »Arsia Mons: The eruption of discord
