Principal Scientific Results of the Surveyor 3 Mission
The fine lunar surface material at the Surveyor 3 landing site has about 3 X 108-dyne/cm 2 cohesion, 35 ø angle of internal friction, 3 X 105-dyne/cm ' static bearing capacity. A small rock withstood a local pressure of 2 X 107 dynes/cm -ø. Soil strength and density increase significantly at depths of a few centimeters. Exposed surface has a considerably higher albedo than the material just bel...
متن کاملOverview of the Mars Global Surveyor mission
The Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft was placed into Mars orbit on September 11, 1997, and by March 9, 1999, had slowly circularized through aerobraking to a Sunsynchronous, near-polar orbit with an average altitude of 378 km. The science payload includes the Mars Orbiter Camera, Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, Thermal Emission Spectrometer, Ultrastable Oscillator (for Radio Science xperiments), a...
متن کاملThe Planck Surveyor mission and gravitational lenses
An extremely sensitive all-sky survey will be carried out in the millimetre/submillimetre waveband by the forthcoming ESA mission Planck Surveyor. The main scienti c goal of the mission is to make very accurate measurements of the spatial power spectrum of primordial anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation; however, hundreds of thousands of distant dusty galaxies and quasars w...
متن کاملMars global surveyor mission: overview and status.
The Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft achieved a 45-hour elliptical orbit at Mars on 11 September 1997 after an 11-month cruise from Earth. The mission is acquiring high-quality global observations of the martian surface and atmosphere and of its magnetic and gravitational fields. These observations will continue for one martian year.
متن کاملMagnetic Field and Plasma Observations at Mars: Initial Results of the Mars Global Surveyor Mission
The magnetometer and electron reflectometer investigation (MAG/ER) on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft has obtained magnetic field and plasma observations throughout the near-Mars environment, from beyond the influence of Mars to just above the surface (at an altitude of approximately 100 kilometers). The solar wind interaction with Mars is in many ways similar to that at Venus and at an act...
