Deranged Rhino Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Lots of cool stuff going on in space right now with New Horizons and the Dawn probes bringing us back imagery from the outer realms of the solar system. http://www.nasa.gov/feature/new-image-of-pluto-houston-we-have-geology

4merper4mer Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Would ya? I'm guessing Poojer has another kind of payload to discuss with her.
PastaJoe Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Would ya? I'm guessing Poojer has another kind of payload to discuss with her. Unfortunately, like the SpaceX launch his payload tends to explode prematurely upon lift off.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 A signal received from the New Horizons spacecraft shows that it survived its historic encounter with Pluto. Data in its first call home since Tuesday's flyby suggest the spacecraft experienced no upsets as it hurtled past the icy world at 14km/s, The signal came through a giant dish in Madrid, Spain - part of a Nasa network of communications antennas. The message took four hours and 25 minutes to traverse 4.7 billion km of space http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33531811

BringBackFergy Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Don't confuse effort with results. I wonder if they have beach chairs on Pluto.
