NASA Dryden Hosts Radar Tests for Next Mars Landing
This test of the radar system to be used during the August 2012 descent and landing of the NASA Mars rover Curiosity mounted an engineering test model of the radar system onto the nose of a helicopter. › Larger image
Engineers with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., are running diverse trials with a test version of the radar system that will enable NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission to put the Curiosity rover onto the Martian surface in August 2012.
One set of tests conducted over a desert lakebed at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif., in May 2010 used flights with a helicopter simulating specific descent paths anticipated for Martian sites.
During the final stage of descent, NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission will use a "sky crane" maneuver to lower Curiosity on a bridle from the mission's rocket-powered descent stage. The descent stage will carry Curiosity's flight radar.
The testing at Dryden included lowering a rover mockup on a tether from the helicopter to assess how the sky crane maneuver will affect the radar's descent-speed determinations by the radar. The helicopter carried the test radar on a special nose-mounted gimbal.
Helicopter-flown testing has also been conducted at other desert locations for experience in an assortment of terrains. Later in 2010, the team plans to test the higher-altitude, higher-velocity part of Curiosity's radar-aided descent by flying the test radar on dives by an F/A-18 jet from Dryden.

Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon
Getting to this race was brutal Though once there I had the best time ever...literally I got a PR of 22048 My friend said so you ran in 221 then I said NO I ran it in 22048 He just laughed at me and now calls me Twelve Seconds. Where to begin where to begin....The plan was to land at Reagan National and rent a car and then find a hotel room. I know I know...but I don't like to boo
Bottle Beach Lifestyle
So today we hopped on a ferry to Ko phangnan which is the island famous for having all the Full Moon parties. The parties are held in Hat Rin where most of the backpackers go to stay and they have a beach of course but itrsquos really touristy. We had read up about a beach called Bottle Beach that is quite secluded and meant to be the most beautiful beach on the island. Since neither one of us

I'm currently staying at the Orbit Hostel but because they don't have computers I have to go the sister hostel The Banana Bungalow to use the internet and the payphones.My first full day in LA I walked from Melrose Avenue where my hostel is up to Hollywood Boulevard. There I wandered down the Walk of Fame t
Holy Toledo
Saturday June 12 2010I really hate waking up to an alarm on the weekend. There's nothing better than going to bed at night and knowing that there is nothing you really need to be awake for the next day. Today that was not the case. I woke up to my blaring alarm at 645....yup....on a Saturday. We had to meet at the Metro on campus by 845AM for our day trip to Toledo. Once we got to the s

Sunday June 13 2010Woke up around 930 to meet up with Kristin and her host family around 1130. I was nervous and excited. Their names are Lola and Jorge...both very nice. Right away Jorge asked if I spoke Spanish and I replied that I could only speak very little. I really wish I was fluent at times like these but spending the day listening to Spanish should steer me in the right directio
