..."somebody has finally considered putting a rad detector on the red planet"....
The 2001 lander (reborn as Phoenix) carried a sister instrument to the MARIE instrument on the 2001 Odyssey orbiter so that common-design, cross-calibrated instruments could take data from orbit and on the surface. Well.. NASA HQ got cold feed and cold-storaged the lander, and the orbiter's instrument only briefly worked in Mars orbit before a fatal hardware fault. Oops. |

...the orbiter's instrument only briefly worked in Mars orbit before a fatal hardware fault. It worked in orbit from March 2002 to October 2003; I wouldn't call that "briefly". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Radiatio...ment_Experiment Looks like the MARIE website at JSC has gone dark. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
