The most recent Aviation Week and Space Technology (9/8) has the following tidbit in a piece on NASA schedule delays:
"On the robotoic front, the testing schedule for a critical instrument for the Mars Science Laboratory -- dubbed SAM for Sample Analysis at Mars -- may delay launch of the advanced rover from its 2009 planetary window into 2011." -------------------- |

We are starting to tread into that circular discussion that Doug has asked us to get away from. This topic is about MSL and its timetable and future prospects.
-------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

We are starting to tread into that circular discussion that Doug has asked us to get away from. This topic is about MSL and its timetable and future prospects. ElkGroveDan [or other admin]- Could you move the last several posts on future roadmaps to a new thread under future missions? In parallel with MSLs problems, there have been several reports on future Mars roadmaps. The last several threads would be relevant to such a thread (and I at least will not re-hash whether or not we should have flown n MERs instead of MSL -- that horse is out of the barn and over the horizon!). But what missions and reuse should follow MSL is a legitimate roadmap discussion. Thanks. -------------------- |
