InSight Following a persistent vacuum failure in the main scientific instrument, the launch window was missed, and the InSight spacecraft was returned to Lockheed Martin's factory in Colorado. NASA officials decided in March 2016 to spend an estimated US$150 million to delay launch of InSight to May 2018.

Mars Rover Landing: Curiosity Lands Early Monday Morning (RECAP) But landing on Mars wasn't easy. NASA engineers have actually come to refer to the entry, descent and landing (EDL) of the spacecraft as seven minutes of terror.. Curiosity, which weighs a ton and is about the size of a small SUV, approached Mars at about 13,000 miles per hour.

Baby Development: Your 1-Year-Old One Year Baby Milestones: Growth. Your baby’s weight has likely tripled since birth. At month 12, babies also have grown by 50% -- about 9 to 11 inches -- and their brain is about 60% of its adult size. After an incredible one-year growth spurt, your baby’s weight gain will start to slow down as her activity level increases.

- A Rover's Playground. With a top speed of only 1.5 inches per second on flat, hard ground, Curiosity needs a landing spot on Mars that doesn't require it to travel long distances to do its most important investigations. It took five years and 150 Mars scientists to narrow down a landing site from 60 possibilities.

Lonely Curiosity rover sings âHappy Birthdayâ to itself on Mars (Fun trivia: Warner/Chappell owns the copyright to the “Happy Birthday” song -- but maybe not in space.). In its first year on Mars, Curiosity has taken more than 70,000 images, fired more than 75,000 laser shots to check soil and rock composition, and driven … an entire mile.

Voyager 2 Voyager 2. Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, to study the outer planets. Part of the Voyager program, it was launched 16 days before its twin, Voyager 1, on a trajectory that took longer to reach Jupiter and Saturn but enabled further encounters with Uranus and Neptune. It is the only spacecraft to have visited either of the ice giants.

- Artist's concept of Mariner 9, the first probe to orbit Mars. Image credit: NASA We received this question from fourth-grade students in Fresno, California. JPL's Homework Help page provides basic information and suggestions for further research. A probe is a spacecraft that travels through space to collect science information. Probes do not have astronauts. Probes send data back to Earth for scientists to study. The First Probes Sputnik 1 was the first probe to go into space. It was launched on Oct. 4, 1957, by the former Soviet Union. On Jan. 31, 1958, the United States sent a probe called Explorer 1 into space. These first probes studied Earth from space. They also learned what it's like to be in space. This was the beginning of the Space Race between the United States and Soviet Union.

What blood type is the universal acceptor? AB+ is the the universal acceptor, which can receive any blood type. People with AB have no antibodies to react with either A or B blood antigen coat. O- is the universal donor, which can donate to anyone who needs blood as there are both AB antibodies. Sneha Lokhande.

Curiosity or just self-obsessed? Nasa's Mars rover sends back new high definition SELFIE from mountain slopes on the red planet The first taken on October 31 2012 after 84 days on the surface was composed of 55 separate images taken by the Mars Hand Lens Imager. Such pictures allow Nasa's engineers and scientsts to check on the health of the rover and see whether it is being effected by the thick red dust on the Martian surface.

How long did it take for Curiosity Lander to reach Mars? Curiosity cost $2.5 billion, and features lots of gizmos to look for the chemicals that support life as we know it. The lander set down where there are signs of water. So much good work done in anonymous silence is a puzzle. OK, so it took 253 days to reach Mars. NASA needs to do a better job of building a constituency for its work, and launching the imaginations of the next generation of rocket scientists.
