The south pole of Mars shows that the Red Planet isnt always dull, dusty, and barren
2013-09-06 15:58:01| Extremetech
What you see here is an image of Mars' south pole, captured by the European Space Agency's Mars Express Orbiter. It is distinctly different from the dusty, barren, not-attractive landscapes that we usually associate with the Red Planet, but it's still most definitely Mars.
Life on Earth originally came from Mars, new study suggests
2013-08-29 13:26:15| Extremetech
According to new research presented at the annual Goldschmidt geochemistry conference in Florence, there is compelling evidence that life on Earth was kick-started by a meteorite from Mars bearing simple, RNA-based organisms. Furthermore, the same research also indicates that the ancient, primordial surface of Earth would've been inhospitable to the formation of the building blocks of life (RNA, DNA, and proteins) -- therefore, the only way that life could've begun more than three billion years ago is if it arrived here from Mars.

Radiation Pattern Measurements Of The Nasa Mars Science Laboratory UHF Entry Antenna Using A Spherical Near-Field Range
2013-08-29 12:43:47| rfglobalnet News Articles
Measurements of a conical micro-strip Wraparound™ antenna array mounted on a portion of the entry vehicle for NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission were completed at Nearfield Systems, Inc.’s new spherical near-field range facility. The Wraparound™ antenna, designed and manufactured by Haigh-Farr, Inc., provides nearly full spherical coverage and operates in the UHF frequency band for telecommunications to orbiting assets at Mars. A summary of the measurements techniques and results are presented, along with a comparison of the measured and calculated patterns. By Paula R. Brown, David Farr, John Demas, and Jesus A. Aguilar

Curiosity turns on self-driving software, can now navigate Mars on its own
2013-08-28 15:30:44| Extremetech
Roughly 200 million miles away on the surface of the Red Planet, NASA's Curiosity just one-upped Google: It autonomously drove across the surface of Mars without human supervision. The autonav software will help Curiosity reach its destination, Mount Sharp, much more quickly because the rover won't have to wait for driving instructions from NASA -- it can just plug away at the remaining kilometers autonomously.
