Mars bosses ‘rejected trajectory revision’…

Between Bosses and Boosters:

The study of leadership has become a serious industry in America in the past decade. It shows activities on commercial and academic levels resulting in the publication of hundreds of how-to-become-a-leader guides per year and more than 1,000 degree programs. A four-volume Encyclopedia of Leadership seeks to mark the transition of the study of leadership from a specialist hobby to a mature acade...

Dependence of the Beagle2 Trajectory on the Mars Atmosphere

Six days before arrival, the Mars Express spacecraft released the landing probe Beagle2. This paper extends a reconstruction of the lander’s drift trajectory from atmospheric entry to landing. Uncertainties of the initial drift trajectory and contributions by uncertainties in the atmospheric descent computation are mapped to the landing site. Parameters of key events during the descent are deri...

Six per cent rise for trust bosses.

A SURVEY which shows that NHS trust chief executives' pay has been rising by more than double the percentage of nurses' pay has provoked anger in nursing organisations.

Optimizing Mars Airplane Trajectory with the Application Navigation System

Planning complex missions requires a number of programs to be executed in concert. The Application Navigation System (ANS), developed in the NASA Advanced Supercomputing Division, can execute many interdependent programs in a distributed environment. We show that the ANS simplifies user effort and reduces time in optimization of the trajectory of a martian airplane. We use a software package, C...
