The most important questions remain: what is the composition, structure and variability of the tenuous lunar exosphere? What are its origins, transport mechanisms, and loss processes? Is lofted lunar dust the cause of the horizon glow observed by the Surveyor missions and Apollo astronauts? How does such levitated dust arise and move, what is its density, and what is its ultimate fate? The US National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council decadal surveys and the recent “Scientific Context for Exploration of the Moon” (SCEM) reports have identified studies of the pristine state of the lunar atmosphere and dust environment as among the leading priorities for future lunar science missions.

The new atmospheric entry guidance system resulted in an orbit determination paradigm shift during final approach when compared to previous Mars lander missions. The evolving orbit determination filter strategies during cruise are presented. Furthermore, results of calibration activities of dynamical models are presented. The atmospheric entry interface trajectory knowledge was significantly better than the original requirements, which enabled the very precise landing in Gale Crater. Keywords: Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity, Mars, Navigation, Orbit Determination 1. Introduction On August 6, 2012, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) and the Curiosity rover successful performed a precision landing in Gale Crater on Mars. A crucial part of the success was orbit determination (OD) during the cruise from Earth to Mars. The OD process involves determining the spacecraft state, predicting the future trajectory and characterizing the uncertainty associated with the predicted trajectory. This paper describes the orbit determination process, results, and unique challenges during the final approach phase.

Powell | Published: Monday, January 4, 2021 Whatever craziness may be happening on Earth, the coming year promises to be a spectacular one across the solar system. 2020 - It was the worst of times, it was the best of times. First landing on the lunar farside, two impressive successes in gathering samples from asteroids, the first new pieces of the Moon brought home in 44 years, close-up explorations of the Sun, and major advances in low-cost reusable rockets. First Visit to Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids First Visit to Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids In October, NASA is set to launch the Lucy spacecraft. Over its 12-year primary mission, Lucy will visit eight different asteroids. One target lies in the asteroid belt. The other seven are so-called Trojan asteroids that share an orbit with Jupiter, trapped in points of stability 60 degrees ahead of or behind the planet as it goes around the sun. These objects have been trapped in their locations for billions of years, probably since the time of the formation of the solar system. They contain preserved samples of water-rich and carbon-rich material in the outer solar system; some of that material formed Jupiter, while other bits moved inward to contribute to Earth's life-sustaining composition. As a whimsical aside: When meteorites strike carbon-rich asteroids, they create tiny carbon crystals.

To do this, the Data Quality Management approach will be analyzed and correlated with the eight contributing factors that lead to failing the NASA mission. After that, it is going to be illustrated the factors that should be well-considered in order to be implemented an effective strategy. Keywords: Mars Climate orbiter, strategy, strategy development, business decisions, solution analysis 1. Introduction that would clarify the corporate objectives of the project and the basic values that should be instilled. In the context of The Mars Climate Orbiter is a renowned event happened in these steps, I would revise the FBC’s goals as the triptych September 1999 when NASA attempted to discover the “Faster, Better, Cheaper” does not correspond to the project planet Mars. In the context of this project, the spacecraft needsand the Quality Management is absent in the virtue of seemed to be lost after its launch because it was failed to achieving a fast and a cost-effective project. Also, I would align the rocket force with the safe orbit. The outcome was issue specific criteria that meet such objectives and I would that the orbiter smashed into the plan due to the discrepancy perform a verification procedure so as to ensure the that the spacecraft presented with the Mars orbiter.

Received: 30 June 2020; Accepted: 24 August 2020; Published: 28 August 2020 Abstract: Gamma-ray emission from the bright radio source 3C 84, associated with the Perseus cluster, is ascribed to the radio galaxy NGC 1275 residing at the centre of the cluster. Study of the correlated X-ray/gamma-ray emission from this active galaxy, and investigation of the possible disk-jet connection, are hampered because the X-ray emission, particularly in the soft X-ray band (2–10 keV), is overwhelmed by the cluster emission.
