Mars-sample-returnMSRMarsJezeroThe international Mars Exploration community has been planning to return samples from Mars for many years; the next decade should see the plans becoming a reality. Mars Sample Return (MSR) requires a series of missions, first to collect the samples, then to return...
C. Soil and rock samples on Mars. D. Water samples from the moon. 4. Why is the first samples collected by Chang’e 6 important? A. Because it was the first probe sent by humans to the moon. B. Because it was the first samples from the far side of the moon. C. Because it sh...
While our collections do contain materials derived from the Moon and Mars, most meteorites are asteroidal in origin. In terms of asteroidal sources, the vast majority of samples are likely derived from main-belt objects, rather than near- Earth asteroids. The cosmic-ray exposure ages of stony...
The formation within a disc can explain the near-circular orbits of Phobos and Deimos in the same plane around Mars’s equator. A giant impact is also thought to have created our Moon, but the evidence there is clearer, thanks to samples from the lunar surface returned by the Apollo missio...
With an age of almost 4.5 billion years, the highlands are the oldest parts of the moon's crust. Scientists believe that the moon was formed about 100 million years after Earth, when an object the size of Marsstruck the planet in a glancing blowthat tore off part of Earth's crust. Tha...
of the king,Charles I (‘Le Roi a la chasse’)(pictured), which returns to England for the first time since the 17th century. Other works include Peter Paul Rubens’Minerva Protects Pax From Mars (‘Peace and War’)– this was commissioned by Charles and painted between 1629-30, Andrea...
‘People and Space’), and a sequence of images by Australian Andy Casely following the progress of the great global dust storm on Mars (‘Planets, Comets and Asteroids’). The display also includes an image of the Rosette Nebula by 11-year-old Davy van der Hoeven, of The Netherlands, ...
Last bit of information for science, we found these beautiful insect and butterfly cards for FREEhere. (Thanks Eltern Vom Mars!) which we used during our brief look at entomology. We also spent time with our CC Science work, learning all about biomes and consumers. ...
It is anticipated that this will enable MODULUS style science return from relatively simple instrumentation which is compatible with the future miniaturised sampling platforms currently under consideration for Mars, asteroids, comets and planetary moons. References: Wright I. P., Barber S. J....
