Mars Rover Curiosity to Take 1st Martian Drive Wednesday

After more than two weeks of sitting still, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity is finally set to roll out on the Red Planet with its debut drive on Wednesday (Aug. 22).

Engineers successfully tested the rover's steering abilities yesterday (Aug. 20), and now they're ready to turn its six wheels for the first time since Curiosity landed on Mars?on Aug. 5, officials announced today.

"Everything's in fine shape, and that means we are 'go' for our first test drive tomorrow," Curiosity mission manager Mike Watkins, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., told reporters today.

Curiosity's first drive on Mars will be a short one. The rover will move about 10 feet (3 meters) forward, turn in place to the right, and then back up a few meters. The whole operation should take the rover about 30 minutes, Watkins said. [Latest Mars Photos by Curiosity Rover]

Taking it slow

The 1-ton Curiosity rover is the heart of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL), which seeks to determine if the Red Planet could ever have hosted microbial life. The rover is exploring a huge crater called Gale that's about 96 miles wide?(154 kilometers) .

Curiosity's main target is the base of Mount Sharp, the 3.4-mile-high (5.5 km) mountain rising from Gale Crater's center. Mount Sharp's foothills appear to bear clays and sulfates, suggesting the area was exposed to liquid water long ago.

But the rover's first big set of drives will take it away from its ultimate destination, toward a spot mission scientists have dubbed Glenelg. Glenelg, which is about 1,300 feet (400 m) from Curiosity's landing site, hosts three different geological formations that mission scientists are eager to investigate.

If all goes well with tomorrow's driving test and a few other checkouts, Watkins said, Curiosity could start heading for Glenelg around Sol 20 or so ? mission lingo for its 20th full day on Mars. That corresponds roughly to Saturday (Aug. 25), since Sol 16 begins this evening.

The mission team eventually wants Curiosity to cover about 330 feet (100 m) or more of Martian ground in a big driving day, but that probably won't happen for a while.

"It's going to take us a little while to get up to that rate," Watkins said. "This first set of drives ? not just the test drive tomorrow but actually the drive to Glenelg ? we'll probably do that in pretty small chunks, just to evaluate, you know, what's going on and take a look at the processing algorithms. My guess is that those are going to go in 10- to 20-meter chunks."

In good shape

Researchers have been checking out Curiosity and its 10 science instruments since the rover landed, ensuring that it's ready for its two-year surface mission.

By and large, the checkouts have been going extremely well, team members have said. On Sunday (Aug. 19), for example, engineers deployed Curiosity's 7-foot-long (2.1 m) robotic arm for the first time and did motor checks on its many tools, which include a percussive drill and soil-scooping gear.

"All of that went successfully as well," Watkins said.

And on Friday (Aug. 17), Curiosity used its Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) instrument for the first time on Mars. DAN measures the amount of hydrogen ? an indicator of water ? in the Martian soil by peppering the ground with neutrons and then observing the extent to which they scatter back.

Curiosity's ChemCam instrument ? which fires a laser at rocks and then determines their composition by analyzing the vaporized bits ? also got its first workout over the weekend. It's performing even better than anticipated, researchers said.

Curiosity's onboard weather station, which is called REMS (short for Rover Environmental Monitoring Station), has been switched on. From Aug. 16 to Aug. 17, it measured ground temperatures as high as 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) and as low as minus 131.8 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 91 degrees Celsius).

However, REMS is not working perfectly on the Martian surface. Wind sensors on one of the instruments' two booms have been damaged, perhaps by rocks deposited on Curiosity's deck during or shortly after landing, researchers said.

But wind sensors on the other boom are working fine, so the team doesn't anticipate too much of an impact.

"We still retain nearly the full capability, just with a little bit of ambiguity in terms of wind direction," said MSL deputy project scientist Ashwin Vasavada of JPL.

   Recommended Gaming Computer I originally posted this in the Market forum but that area seems dead. Here's my post.. I'm looking at upgrading and grabbing a new computer, preferably a gaming one. I'm looking to spend a maximum of about ?800, but obviously cheaper the better. I currently have an old PC: 4GB Ram nVidia GeForce 8400GS Quad Core @ 2.40GHz 500MB HDD. So the new PC should be better than that please I'd prefer something with these specs:Also preferably available in the UK so I'm not paying daft prices for shipping. I'm asking on here as I know there are a lot of people who know their stuff about computers! Thank you I'm not a techy with hardware, so if you're going to recommend a self-build then I'm gonna need a lot of help haha :P

Also what are you looking to do exactly with your pc, as in what kind of gaming? any specific types of games? want wi-fi? storage?, etc want a screen, speaker, etc as well in that budget?

It is quite easy after watching some youtube videos Is ?800 including a monitor, windows 7, keyboard, mouse etc.?

   Re: Recommended Gaming Computer Also what are you looking to do exactly with your pc, as in what kind of gaming? any specific types of games? want wi-fi? storage?, etc want a screen, speaker, etc as well in that budget? Gaming; I mainly play simulators - Flight Sim X, Trainz 2012, Sims 3 I'm not bothered about wifi as my router is right next to my pc anyway and I'm currently using an Ethernet cable. Storage anything that's decent really. I currently have 500mb and it seems too little. 1TB+? I would also recommend a self build but if you're too against it I'll try recommend something pre-built. It is quite easy after watching some youtube videos Is ?800 including a monitor, windows 7, keyboard, mouse etc.? ?800 would just be the tower. I don't want a monitor as I'm currently using my TV for everything :P I'd be happy to keep my current wireless keyboard/mouse but would be happy to buy others outside of the 800 budget. I wouldn't mind self-building but I'd be hopeless selecting parts etc :/ Last edited by AndyJay123; 16 Hours Ago at 20:42.

   Re: Recommended Gaming Computer we can help with the parts, thats the whole point of this part of the forum..........what kind of games? you already got a windows dvd? I play quite demanding games: Flight Sim X, Trainz 2012, Sims 3. I also don't have a windows dvd but I'd probably just buy a windows 7 one off Amazon or something if it's worth it.

   Re: Recommended Gaming Computer haven't you got one from your current computer? or a serial for it, it would be on the case on a sticker? I've only got an Acer Recovery disc hiding somewhere in my pile of CDs.. There is a serial key but it's Vista..

Unless you note an extreme lack of FPS, just upgrade your GFX. You don't need more RAM, just get yourself another 4GB stick, dirt cheap if it's DDR2.

   Re: Recommended Gaming Computer http://pcpartpicker.com/uk/p/ffHX Something like this is an absolute beast of a machine. I haven't added a case/optical drive as they're mainly personal preference.

9. Junior Member Thread Starter Join Date: May 2010 Location: North West England Posts: 60

   Re: Recommended Gaming Computer But surely upgrading the GFX will do the job? Haha, that's scary but true, only just noticed! When I built my PC, 4GB DDR3, I paid ?82. My PC originally came with 2x1GB ram. When I was in the process of upgrading it I read online on many pages that the max for my motherboard/pc was 2x2GB.. And I want a new pc anyway as I've had this for like 3-4 years. I'd love a stronger PC so I could play FSX etc more & better Maybe I could get San Andreas back and SA:MP Idk if upgrading would do though for the reason I've just said hmm?

    Re: Recommended Gaming Computer It's up to you. The only real problem you have is that your GFX could do with a bit more grunt. You can easily build a decent tower for ?500 that will play many high-end games for you. Don't bother getting a new hard drive, optical drive. I'd probably just keep this one and wipe everything off it & start again, or get another and use both? Does that max 4GB ram sound correct though? May as well just start from scratch if I can't upgrade much. I also read that the PSU that comes with this PC is a piece of crap, and I haven't bothered upgrading it as I've noticed just how many cables there are lol.. Scary :P Last edited by AndyJay123; 16 Hours Ago at 21:31.

I might wait a bit though as I'm expecting to get some money within the next 2 weeks ish, idk how much it'll be but if it's a fair bit I'd increase my budget.. Unless that build is good enough?
