Contact restored with NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter – UPI News

Jan. 22 (UPI) -- NASA has restored contact with its little Perseverance Mars helicopter, which had gone silent after 72nd mission, the space agency said.

Communication ceased with the vehicle Thursday after its mission. But on Saturday, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said on social media that contact had been re-established, and that team members were reviewing fresh data to get a better understanding of what led to the communication blackout.

The $80 million helicopter craft first landed on Martian surface in April 2021 and was meant to test a powered, controlled mission on a different planet.

The Ingenuity demonstration was completed after three successful flights and then transitioned to a new operations demonstration phase "to explore how future rovers and aerial explorers can work together."

NASA lost contact with its Mars helicopter.

The Ingenuity helicopter, which has been fluttering around the red planet for almost three years now, fell out of contact with Perseverance, the rover that brought it to the planet (and that it communicates with using Zigbee!).

NASA wrote yesterday that the flight, its 72nd, was a test of its systems after it was forced to land it early during its previous flight. The agency is working toward reestablishing contact.

While we wait, heres a recent video of the helicopter in action.

MICK MARS Shows Off His Guitar Collection – "I’m A Tone Guy, Even Though I’m Half Deaf Now"; Video – bravewords.com

Posted: at 5:46 pm

In a new episode AXS TV's Life In Six Strings With Kylie Olsson, former Mtley Cre guitarist, Mick Mars, gives Kylie a tour of his home and shows off his incredible guitar collection. Watch a clip below; the full episode is currently airing on AXS TV.

Mick Mars' debut solo album, The Other Side Of Mars, will be released on February 23 via Micks own label 1313, LLC, in partnership with MRI. Pre-orders can be placed now at this location. Available configurations include a 180G LP and CD, signed and unsigned.

No matter what direction hes going in on the album, what ties it all together is that people are going to hear my tone my sound, Mars says. I am what I am. Nobody else can do it. And like everyone, Ive got a limited number of years. So, I'm gonna do all I can to do a lot of stuff.

When Mick Mars stepped back from touring with Mtley Cre the band he co-founded more than 40 years ago following their massive summer 2022 Stadium Tour, it seemed like the end of an era.

Really, it was the beginning of a new one.

The legendary guitarist, whose riffs, solos and overall devastatingly heavy sound powered the L.A. icons through four decades of world-conquering, multi-platinum sonic mayhem is, as he demonstrates on his debut solo effort, still a serious force to be reckoned with. Only now, listeners are reckoning with more Mars than ever before. When it comes to my playing, theres the Mtley side and the Mars side, the guitarist says. Either way, I always have a very clear vision of what I want to do.

On the aptly-titled The Other Side Of Mars, fans get that vision in its full, multifarious glory. To be sure, there are plenty of characteristically riff-tastic, tough-as-nails hard-rock anthems. The album also presents the guitarist heading into new and uncharted territory, tearing through caustic, modern metal, conjuring gothic-tinged soundscapes, and digging into anguished, slow-burning power balladry alongside unspooling bluesy, cinematic instrumental workouts. The music throughout the collection is otherwise studded with slide guitars, violins, violas, keyboards, glitchy freak-outs and all manner of sonic surprises.

Theres a lot of ideas that I have that, I don't want to call them left, but they are, you know what I mean? Mars says. Regarding those stylistic turns, he continues, My feeling has always been, I might gain some fans, I might lose some fans. But what theyre hearing, its all me.

The guitarist enlisted a crack team of musicians to help him along the way. A key contributor to the project was Winger and former Alice Cooper keyboardist (and, like Mars, Nashville resident) Paul Taylor, who, in addition to performing on the record and assisting Mars in co-writing many of the tracks, introduced the guitarist to powerhouse vocalist Jacob Bunton. Jacob came into the studio and it was like, bam! Mars recalls. And I just said, Yeah, hes the guy. And most of his vocals were one take.

The supporting band was rounded out by Korn drummer Ray Luzier, bassist Chris Collier and singer Brion Gamboa, who contributed lead vocals to two songs. Mars reflects, Those required a little bit more of an angsty, desperation kind of thing. And Brion really came to the table with that. Alongside playing bass on all songs recorded, Collier mixed and mastered the debut solo album.

But while Mars surrounded himself with a new cast of players for the sessions, there was one figure who represented a significant link to his storied past: Michael Wagener. The much-lauded German producer and engineer worked behind the boards on Mtley Cres 1981 debut, Too Fast For Love, and his relationship with Mars stretches even further back. I had known him for a long time, and I actually brought him to Mtley, Mars says. Working with Wagener this time, the guitarist continues, He had such an understanding of where I wanted to go with the material. And he never said Hey, do this, or tried to change my mind or anything like that. He was just really adamant about recording what I wanted to record, and making sure we recorded it right.

The result is a record unlike anything Mars has offered up in his more than 40-year career.

To that end, he says that even as he unleashes The Other Side Of Mars on the world, hes already working on a follow-up. He offers, I'm trying to keep growing, Mars says. Because if you stop learning new things, if you stop playing new things, if you close your mind, youre done. You have to keep moving and creating. Next!

Tracklist:

"Loyal To The Lie" "Broken On The Inside" "Alone" "Killing Breed" "Memories" "Right Side Of Wrong" "Ready To Roll" "Undone" "Ain't Going Back" "LA Noir"

Mars Opens Transformative $42m Snacking Research and Development Hub in Chicago – PR Newswire

Posted: at 5:46 pm

The new 44,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility builds on Mars' 100-year pedigree of innovation and makes Chicago the largest innovation hub in Mars' global stable of Snacking R&D sites

CHICAGO, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Mars announced the opening of its Global Research and Development Hub on its Goose Island campus, the global headquarters of the company's Snacking business. One of seven Mars global innovation sites around the world, the 44,000-square-foot, $42 million facility will be dedicated to chocolate and nut testing, research and innovation. As Mars looks to double its Snacking business in the next decade, the new facility will give Mars' 300 R&D Associates in Chicago runway to create and refine new products for the company's multi-billion-dollar snacking portfolio before they are scaled at large around the globe.

The new site will centralize crucial innovation components under one roof while also serving as a testing ground for future-focused, sustainable ingredients. Recipes will be perfected in small batches in the plant's contemporary test kitchen, while the flexible bar line, which mimics factory conditions, will allow Mars Snacking Scientists to hone the process of bringing new products to scale. A dedicated nut facility inside the plant will also enable next-generation testing, evaluation and application of peanuts and tree nuts within Mars products, key to brands such as SNICKERS, M&M'S and KIND.

"This state-of-the-art facility will serve as the epicenter for the kind of groundbreaking research and development that will shape the snacking category for generations to come," said Andrew Clarke, Global President, Mars Snacking. "Innovation has been at the heart of our success for over 100 years, and this significant investment reaffirms our unwavering commitment to staying ahead of the curve. With an assembly of trailblazing Associates, pioneering partnerships that ignite our creativity and unparalleled technology at our fingertips, we will continue to push boundaries in our relentless pursuit of delivering extraordinary experiences for our consumers around the world."

From the next-generation science behind critical ingredients such as peanuts, to the easily adaptable pilot product line, the Hub is designed to not just keep up, but stay ahead of an evolving snacking landscape and rapidly shifting consumer demands. The world-class facility has been designed with sustainability front of mind. It will be powered 100% with renewable energy which is fossil-fuel free and covered by renewable energy credits from Mars' wind farm in Ford Ridge, Illinois.

Chicago has been deeply embedded in Mars' history from the turn of the 20th century when the company opened its first large-scale factory in the Windy City in 1929. It was also the longtime home of the Wrigley Company, the Chicago-born stalwart known for its gum and fruity confections, which Mars acquired in 2008.

"I applaud the dedicated team behind the Mars Global Research & Development Hub," said Mayor Brandon Johnson. "With a commitment to sustainable innovation, this state-of-the-art facility not only doubles down on Mars' century-long legacy, but cements Chicago's status as an epicenter for food innovation and propels us to new heights on the global stage."

"As Mars marks the opening of a new chapter, I am thrilled to join the resounding applause of the Chicagoland region's business community in congratulating company leadership and team for the opening of the Mars Global Research & Development Hub," said Michael Fassnacht, President & CEO, World Business Chicago. "In a region already renowned as the epicenter of food-related production and innovation, the arrival of the Mars Research & Development Hub propels Chicagoland to even greater heights. We commend Mars for its unwavering commitment to our city and region, and we are eagerly poised to witness the profound impact this expansion will have, cementing Chicagoland's undisputed global standing as the ultimate crucible of food innovation."

The Global Innovation Hub will join Mars' network of existing global innovation sites in Chicago, Illinois; Guangzhou, China; Huariou, China; Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania; and Slough, United Kingdom.
