AREA NEWS: - Let's talk about the space program ExoMars, American and European joint program (NASA-ESA) for the exploration bytesbalans of Mars. Remember? Two missions, the first in 2016 led by ESA and the subsequent tour in 2018 by NASA. Below you have the details
At the base of all there seems to be problems, bytesbalans not new budget by the American Space Agency, so that according to the Blog of The Planetary Society, NASA would have told ESA that currently can not confirm nor planned for the launch of the mission the 2016 nor the Atlas 5 rocket for the launch of the second mission of the program.
The Planetary Society has mobilized in recent weeks urging its members to send emails to their politicians, particularly to John Holdren (Science Advisor to the President Obama and head of OSTP, Office of Science and Technology Policy), bytesbalans to protest the lack a "commitment," a definite commitment by the U.S. in favor of the space program. The result is that more than 1500 emails were sent.
In the meantime, however, it seems that the ESA, in the person of the Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain has formally inviatato Russia to participate in the ExoMars program as a third partner. The goal is to have a better chance of saving the exploration program.
Dordain had stated to 'International Astronautical Congress, held earlier this month in Cape Town (South Africa), after speaking with the NASA chief Charles Bolden, ESA continues to work with the presupporto that NASA will participate fully in the 2 mission to Mars, providing, inter alia, the Atlas 5 launcher.
In short, things bytesbalans seem a little 'complicated. bytesbalans What I liked is the approach ESA open to international collaboration. I want to believe that this is all a bit 'about even the International Space Station, which with its existence has demonstrated that
So far the Russians bytesbalans has managed to send only the large debris on mars, do not count anymore, bytesbalans or at least were not good to land their probes. I would say that some of the collaboration should see only willingly. Reply Delete
Pernso that Livy was referring to probes launched by the USSR to Mars who could not get there. As far as Soyuz, Proton and Progress well, to work work, but technologies are at least 50 years old! Lamir then it was the first real space station, but hell in safety bytesbalans was a trap! Reply Delete
Sergio Sorry, but you can take a look at this? Sounds interesting: Reply Delete
True, the Russian technology bytesbalans and very old one could call it safe, contrary to NASA built a vehicle (the shuttle) too advanced for its time, and when it was time to send him to retire decided to go back to the past with a old technology but secure. problem here and that the U.S. is going through a very bad time and if they had to abandon the project ESA would find itself alone to face the charges, I think this is the main or at least one of the main reasons for here and made this agreement with Russia.

@ Ciao84: Thanks for the alert, so it seems pretty interesting. A little 'what might have happened to our Earth at the beginning of its formation. Intriguing hypothesis that there may be Earth-like planets. Reply Delete
