Building an artificially intelligent satellite trained in space: Professor Hakan Kayal of the University of Würzburg has received a budget of 2.6 million euros from the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy.
This high-resolution image shows one of the six wheels of NASA's Mars Preserver (Persistence) rover, which landed on February 18, 2021. The image was taken by one of Persistence's color hazard detection cameras (Hazcams).

NASA's Persistence rover sends a glimpse of the descent to the Martian soil and the landing environment

  • No comments
After the successful landing on Thursday, the engineers began to examine the condition of NASA's persistence vehicle on Mars. Among other things, they published preliminary images from the vehicle's cameras, as well as from the camera of the crane that lowered it to the ground and even from space

The research focuses on a relatively new topic - the programming of biological life in planets orbiting red dwarfs * To verify the hypothesis, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Israeli Ultrasat Space Telescope when they are launched, will be directed to the planets discovered by Vandel and his colleagues

Simulation of the lander. According to the proposal, the lander will be launched between 2024-2025 and will arrive several years after the arrival of the EMFM probe, which will make many flybys near Europe. It will be able to photograph it at a very high resolution to find safe but scientifically interesting landing sites, and roly noses like the one described in the simulation - near plumes of water coming out as geysers from the moon Atal past Hal, and it is estimated that, if they do exist in Europe, they originate in its sub-ice ocean.

These dark, narrow channels called (SRL) recurring slope lineae emanate from the walls of Garni Crater on Mars. The dark channels here reach a length of hundreds of meters. It is hypothesized that they were formed by the flow of brackish water on Mars, as photographed by the MRO spacecraft. Credits: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona

The thin, dark streaks on the slopes of Bamai hills like the one in the section of the Horowitz Crater could have been formed by the seasonal flow of water on present-day Mars. The channels are several hundred meters long

The dark narrow channel known as recurring slope lineae flows down a hill on Mars photographed in infrared light and appears to be an area where water flows today. Recently, scientists located brackish water on this hill located in the Hale Crater, thus confirming an original hypothesis that the channel was indeed formed by flowing water. The blue color upstream does not seem to belong to this configuration but rather they are formed in the presence of the mineral peroxin. Credits: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
