The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency said Thursday the two solar-powered rovers have become inactive and are probably in the shade, but are still responding to signals after three months, exceeding their projected life of several days.
While scientists and policy-makers agree that getting a firm grasp on the origins of emissions is key to tackling global warming, there is great political sensitivity surrounding the issue.
The rocket ship hit an altitude of 51 miles (82 kilometers) before beginning its gliding descent, said mission official Enrico Palermo. It landed on a runway minutes later.
Launched on August 5, 2011, from Cape Canaveral, the spacecraft entered orbit around Jupiter on July 4, 2016.
Geminid Meteor Shower 2018: According to NASA, December is going to be the biggest month this time as it is bringing the strongest meteor shower of the year.
NASA's ICESat-2 -- launched less than three months ago -- has mapped melting ice sheets in Antarctica and the resulting sea level rise across the globe, which could help improve climate forecasts.
GSAT-7 will have a mission life of eight years and it is built to provide communication capability to the users in Ku-band over the Indian region.
In addition, InSight sent another set of mosaic composed of 52 individual photos.
While Bennu itself is too small to have ever hosted liquid water, the finding indicates that liquid water was present at some time on Bennu's parent body, a much larger asteroid.
The InSight lander snapped a series of pictures that NASA turned into a stunning mosaic, released on Tuesday.
The Dragon capsule pulled up at the orbiting lab three days after launching from Cape Canaveral. Commander Alexander Gerst used the space station’s big robotic arm to grab the cargo carrier, as the two craft soared 250 miles above the Pacific.
"As of now, the first results of the experiment have already been obtained: the organic construct of the mouse's thyroid gland has been created in zero-gravity conditions," Roscosmos said in a statement on Thursday.
The lunar rover would provide a first close-up of the part of moon that is eternally out of view from Earth.
InSight sensors captured a haunting low rumble caused by vibrations from the wind, estimated to be blowing between 10 to 15 mph (5 to 7 metres a second) on December 1, from northwest to southeast, NASA said on Friday.
Over the past week and a half, mission engineers have been testing these instruments and spacecraft systems, ensuring they are in working order.
Atmospheric ammonia merits particular attention because it breaks down into fine ammonium salt particles that degrade the quality of the air we breathe.
Besides delivering supplies and hardwares, the Dragon will also deliver science experiments including the Robotic Refuelling Mission 3 (RRM3) and the Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI).
The team in 2010 developed a brain-imaging instrument with independent intellectual property rights that was published in the Science journal.
The Global Carbon Project uses government and industry reports to come up with final emission figures for 2017 and projections for 2018 based on the four biggest polluters: China, the United States, India and the European Union.
