4 Years on Mars

01.14.08 (10:42 pm) [edit]

Two robots the size of golf carts were given 90 days to squeeze as much science as possible from the barren, dust-swept terrain of Mars. After that, scientists expected nothing more from them than death. Nearly four years after their warranties expired, however, the Mars Explorations Rovers (MERs) "Spirit" and "Opportunity" continue to play productively in the red dirt. Spirit celebrates its fourth anniversary of Martian work on Jan. 4, the day it landed in 2004, followed by Opportunity on Jan. 25. Those four Earth years since landing convert to 2.25 Martian years, or 1,422 Martian days called "sols." "We never thought we'd still be driving these robots all over Mars," said Mark Lemmon, a planetary scientist at Texas A&M University and member of the rover science team. "We joked about driving Opportunity into Victoria Crater, but now we're there, and we're looking at doing even more science. Each day they still work is an amazing one." Happy anniversary Since the rovers bounced onto Mars' surface, they have collectively driven more than 11.8 miles (19.1 kilometers) and snapped more than 210,000 images. That's roughly 55 standard DVD movies worth of uncompressed data. Scientists have used this information through the years to crank out more than 100 studies about the planet's geologic past "with many more in progress," Lemmon said. "It's been a great year for the rovers and we're getting deeper into Martian history than we've ... done before," Lemmon said. "These robots have entirely changed the way we view Mars." Those views include support for the existence of water on Mars, at least in the past, in the form of silica and meteorites. In addition to that evidence, the year 2007 inflicted a global dust storm on the rovers. Although indirect sunlight powered the rovers through the dusty conditions, more than 96 percent of direct sunlight to their solar panels was filtered out. "It was scary there for a while," Lemmon said of the low-light conditions that nearly drove the rovers to a permanent standstill. Despite the nerve-wracking task of keeping both rovers power-positive — and their electronic circuits from snapping in the Martian cold — Lemmon explained that new science is still trickling out as a result of the weather event. "The Mars orbiters looked down on the dust storm when it happened, but they didn't measure changes on the ground like the rovers did," he said. "The rovers are really helping us to better understand these storms." Winter parking spot Now that the dusty, five- to six-month Martian summer is waning and winter is creeping up, earthly operators have pinned down an over-winter parking spot for Spirit. The rover suffered software glitches early in the mission, and now drives backward as its front right wheel is indefinitely stuck. Making matters worse is the literal fallout from the recent dust storm. "Right now, we're working with the dustiest rover we've ever had," Lemmon said, who does not expect whirling dust devils to clean off the rover's coated solar panels any time soon. "As a result, we pretty much consider Spirit parked." Lemmon said Opportunity, however, is in good shape to continue exploring and the team has no definitive date for parking the adventurous machine. "Opportunity has much cleaner [solar panels] than Spirit," Lemmon said, "so there's no discussion of racing it to a north-facing slope for the winter." Scientists used the north-facing-slope trick in the past, which helps maximize direct sunlight to the rover's solar panels during the dim Martian winter. While Opportunity continues to maneuver around Victoria Crater, Spirit is presently resting on a slope of Home Plate — a layered outcrop of rock in the shape of a baseball home plate. "It'll stay in one place for a long time, but we'll still be able to do some science," Lemmon said. That science includes watching the sky for water-crystal clouds and taking atmospheric measurements, but the rover may also witness a potential asteroid impact later this month. "I'm not optimistic for the rovers seeing anything ... [but] we have some hope of seeing the impact cloud as it disperses around the planet," Lemmon said. "I like the thought of a birthday present from Mars. It'll certainly contribute more excitement to the mission."

India skipper, Anil Kumble has taken a leaf out of Mahatma Gandhi's teachings by deciding to forgive and forget. Team India decided to drop all charges against Australian spinner Brad Hogg. The 36-year-old left arm bowler had been accused of using offensive language against Kumble and MS Dhoni. Kumble's reply was one that has ensured that the game will go on. "Cricket is larger than any individual. It is important that we forget what happened in Sydney, it was just one of those bad moments, just an incident probably in the heat of the moment. And we decided as a team to move on and remove the charges against Brad Hogg. It's important that we moved on," said Kumble. "It's a kind gesture, lovely gesture by the Indian team," Hogg said. "It's much appreciated by myself and the Australian cricket team." Meanwhile, Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting has made an apology of sorts. He said, he made a mistake by not walking away after he had been given out. In his column in a newspaper, Ponting wrote, "I know when I was given out in the first innings in Sydney I should have left straight away." About Michael Clarke's dismissal, Ponting wrote, "He knows he did the wrong thing. He knows that he should have gone straight away too." Both captains have now agreed to discard the catching agreement, which was in place for the first two Tests. Quid pro quo deal Now with the charges against Hogg dropped, there is obviously a feeling that this is a quid pro quo deal that has been worked out vis a vis Harbhajan Singh. However, sources tell NDTV that Australia cannot drop the charges against Harbhajan because the umpires made the charge at the behest of captain Ricky Ponting. Besides, one hearing has already taken place against Harbhajan, which means an ICC process is already in place. But the ICC has already indicated that they are willing to be a little flexible with the rules since the Harbhajan appeal is now scheduled for after the Test series, whereas their own rules stipulate that it needs to be dealt with seven-days after the appointment of an appeals commissioner. However, the most likely scenario is that the appeals commissioner, justice Hansen from New Zealand, may just let off Bhajji because of lack of evidence. The BCCI though is hoping for the best case scenario which is the charges being dropped. "I hope that they do it too, but anyway it's a good sign that the Indians have withdrawn their charges. It's a surprising move and it's good if the players sort out their issues on the field rather than taking it to a bigger organisation to sort it out," said Lalit Modi, Vice-President, BCCI. Kumble felt it was not right to carry on the charge against an Australian player just hours after he had shaken hands with Ponting.
