In a recent guest blog post, Quanzhi Ye pointed to the Chinese version of the Planetary Data System, and shared the great news that Chang'e 3 lander data are now public. The website is a little bit difficult to use, but last week I managed to download all of the data from two of the cameras -- a total of 35 Gigabytes of data! -- and I've spent the subsequent week figuring out what's there and how

I've asked you all for input twice, and listened to (most of) your suggestions, and checked the Kuiper belt section with Mike Brown, so finally I'm ready to post the final version of my scale solar system presentation slides. My motivation for creating these is to help people who do public presentations -- teachers, professors, informal educators -- by providing a correctly scaled, reasonably corr
This news is a little old but worth mentioning: On September 9, the Japanese solar sail mission, IKAROS, won a Web award in Japan for their work to publicize the mission via Twitter. The Google translation of the particular award they won is the "Anxious people Web award" but I was told that a more accurate translation is "Remarkable" rather than "Anxious." I found out about this on September 29 w
Almost a week after Rosetta flew past Lutetia, the asteroid is now a distant pinprick of light to the spacecraft, and the science team is getting down to the business of analyzing their data. To help them place things in context, I've prepared a new version of my "asteroids and comets to scale" image, laid out to be easy to drop into your slide presentation software of choice: All asteroids and co
Louis D. Friedman Executive Director of The Planetary Society Credit: The Planetary Society June 15 , 2010 When I first heard about the propose MUSES-C mission (the original name of what is now known as Hayabusa), I thought it was an impossible dream. Sample return is hard -- it has only been done robotically once (by the Soviet Union) from a planetary surface. It requires many major individual m
Covering the events of Hayabusa's return involved a lot of watching and waiting. Rather than go blind staring at my computer and cause carpal tunnel syndrome by excessively clicking the refresh button, I decided to...go blind and develop carpal tunnel syndrome by doing some crocheting. Ahem. Maybe not the best choice of alternative activities, but it was an enjoyable way to channel my caffeinated
So it's been six hours now since the Hayabusa spacecraft ended its journey in a brilliant flash of light in the dark sky of southern Australia. It was a moment both triumphant and sad. It was literally triumphant because that's what it represented, the triumph of human ingenuity to overcome seemingly impossible challenges that befell the mission time and again. But sad, too, because as we back on
Planetary Society Executive Director Lou Friedman is at JAXA's Japanese Space Exploration Center to observe the deployment of IKAROS' solar sails. He sent in this report at the end of a long day of activities on Friday, Japan time. Thanks Lou! --ESL by Lou Friedman It is fantastic to be here at ISAS right now, with three major planetary missions in operations. And not just operating but, for two o
Have a happy day This picture of a crater resembling a "happy face" was acquired by the Context Camera (CTX) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on January 28, 2008. The unnamed crater is about 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) across. It is located among the Nereidum Montes, north of the Argyre basin, near 45.1°S, 55.0°W. North is toward the right and sunlight illuminates the scene from the upper right.Image:
