The study is published this week in the Journal of Environmental Monitoring and will be used to interpret the data from the soil temperature sensor of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) vehicle, whose launch is envisaged for 2011. http://www.huliq.com/11/83505/mars-minerals-influence-measuring-its-temperature#comments Science Mars planets Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:11:38 -0500 harminka 83505 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/83040/mars-and-earth-have-similar-characteristics Mars gets as far as 250 million miles away, but many parts of it closely resemble places on Earth, including its landscape, history of water, soil and even its weather, says a Texas A&M University researcher in the current issue of "Science" magazine. http://www.huliq.com/11/83040/mars-and-earth-have-similar-characteristics#comments Science Earth Mars planets Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:41:53 -0500 harminka 83040 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/82705/new-instrument-may-detect-underground-water-mars With the whoosh of compressed gas and the whir of unspooling wire, a team of Boulder scientists and engineers tested a new instrument prototype that might be used to detect groundwater deep inside Mars. http://www.huliq.com/11/82705/new-instrument-may-detect-underground-water-mars#comments Science Mars Mars Exploration water Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:25:33 -0500 harminka 82705 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/3478/82416/ancient-lake-mars-found To date we have not found evidence of life anywhere but Earth. Of course most scientists think there is bound to be life all over the place "out there," but after all the Universe is quite big! In the search for extraterrestrial life Mars has long fascinated us. It appears that new evidence has surfaced about the possibility of life on the Red Planet. http://www.huliq.com/3478/82416/ancient-lake-mars-found#comments Science extraterrestrials Mars Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:39:03 -0500 mattwion 82416 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/4299/78201/flight-crew-isolation-mars-mission-simulator The Russian Institute of Medical and Biological Problems (IMBP), in partnership with the European Space Agency (ESA), have selected six individuals to simulate space flight to the planet Mars. Scientists arranged to copy all conditions that can be imitated on Earth, such as finite food and water resources, an artificial atmosphere, and even time delays in communications to mimic the radio lag between Mars and Earth. http://www.huliq.com/4299/78201/flight-crew-isolation-mars-mission-simulator#comments Science european space agency Mars research russian space agency space Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:00:40 -0500 Heather Archuletta 78201 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/77108/march-launch-planned-esas-gravity-mission ESA is now gearing up to return to Russia to oversee preparations for the launch of its GOCE satellite – now envisaged for launch on 16 March 2009. This follows implementation of the corrective measures after the anomaly with the Rockot launcher that delayed the launch of GOCE by Eurockot Launch Services last October. http://www.huliq.com/11/77108/march-launch-planned-esas-gravity-mission#comments Science Mars Mars Exploration Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:08:00 -0600 harminka 77108 at http://www.huliq.com http://www.huliq.com/11/76210/discovery-methane-reveals-mars-not-dead-planet A team of NASA and university scientists has achieved the first definitive detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars.

On Earth, similar "astronomical forcing" of climate drives ice-age cycles. http://www.huliq.com/11/74109/ancient-climate-cycles-recorded-mars-rocks#comments Science climate models Mars planets Fri, 05 Dec 2008 12:18:13 -0600 harminka 74109 at http://www.huliq.com
