NASA gives up on lost Mars orbiter

NASA officials said the $582 million MAVEN orbiter could not be recovered after a problem on the far side of Mars late last year, and that its extraordinarily successful mission was at an end.

We might have an answer to what happened to MAVEN... well partially.

One of the bits of that we were able to confirm is an inertial rate measurement that told us the spacecraft was spinning at about 2.7 revolutions per minute. We also confirmed that that was consistent with a Doppler signature that we saw in the data. That’s faster than the spacecraft is expected to rotate, and that indicates a problem that the spacecraft probably couldn’t recover from.

Without the ability to point its solar arrays toward the Sun, the tumbling spacecraft likely drained its batteries within hours.

That was one of the data points that helped us understand that the spacecraft probably reached a power state that was not supportable to continue operations. Those are the facts that we know. The anomaly review board is still looking at the root cause of what actually initiated the failure.

Spike NLOS: Εκπαίδευση πρώτων χειριστών στον Αυλώνα – Στα νησιά και τον Έβρο έως το τέλος του 2026

Spike NLOS: Ξεκίνησε η εκπαίδευση των πρώτων χειριστών στον Αυλώνα. Τι αποκαλύπτει ο Κ. Σαρικάς στο    Onalert για την ανάπτυξη στα νησιά & τον Έβρο και τον ρόλο του drone Orbiter;

Σε πλήρη εξέλιξη βρίσκεται στον Αυλώνα η εκπαίδευση των πρώτων στελεχών του Στρατού Ξηράς στα ισραηλινά πυραυλικά συστήματα Spike NLOS, ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά νέα αμυντικά προγράμματα που εντάσσονται στο ελληνικό οπλοστάσιο. Οι χειριστές δεν εκπαιδεύονται απλώς στην τεχνική λειτουργία του συστήματος, αλλά σε μια νέα φιλοσοφία μάχης: εντοπισμός, παρακολούθηση και προσβολή στόχων σε μεγάλες αποστάσεις, πέρα από την οπτική επαφή.

Κεντρικό ρόλο στην όλη λογική του συστήματος φαίνεται να διαδραματίζει το drone Orbiter, ενώ τα πρώτα αποτελέσματα της εκπαίδευσης περιγράφονται ως ιδιαίτερα ενθαρρυντικά.

Τι ακριβώς κάνει το Spike NLOS τόσο ιδιαίτερο για την άμυνα των νησιών; Πότε αναμένεται να αναπτυχθεί στον Έβρο και στο Αιγαίο; Τι λένε οι ίδιοι οι χειριστές; Ολόκληρη η ανάλυση του Κώστα Σαρικά στο onalert.gr:
