CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla - For the first time in more than four years, a NASA space shuttle Discovery is poised to light up the night sky in an evening launch bound for the International Space Station (ISS). But weather may intervene.

Extreme PlanetThough both rovers are exploring Mars well beyond their initial 90-day missions, electrical connections and moving parts are showing signs of temperature-related fatigue.&quot;Every day we have a huge thermal cycle,&quot; notes Jake Matijevic, chief of the rover engineering team. &quot;That causes the solder in electrical connections to expand and contract until it breaks.&quot;Seasonal ChangeDuring their exploration of Mars, the rovers have recorded temperatures ranging from midday highs of about 35 degrees C. (95 degrees F.) in spring and summer to nighttime lows of about minus 110 degrees C. (minus 166 degrees F.) in winter. Spirit has experienced greater swings in temperature because its location is farther from the martian equator, which puts it seasonally closer to or farther from the Sun than Opportunity.Three Years of DataRover engineer Dan Porter has been tracking temperatures recorded by 50 or so sensors on each of the rovers since shortly after they landed on Mars in January 2004. The results are not only of interest to scientists, they're a favorite of human audiences as well.&quot;People ask about this all the time,&quot; says New Mexico geologist Larry Crumpler, a member of the Mars rover science team who created the charts showing monthly average temperatures superimposed on panoramic-camera images from each of the rovers. &quot;These plots of daily temperature are destined to become an important part of all my public outreach talks.&quot;Cold vs. ColderJust as on Earth, temperatures on Mars are not uniform everywhere. Objects exposed to direct sunlight are apt to be warmer than those in the shade. Some objects retain heat better than others. A source of relative warmth on Mars is rocky terrain, because it retains heat better than sandy terrain.A solar panel is sort of like a &quot;warm wall in mid-winter,&quot; says Crumpler. Components beneath the solar panels, such as the hazard avoidance cameras, are closer in temperature to the martian air. Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a thick, atmospheric blanket to seal in warmth by night or minimize the Sun's heat by day.Wear and TearEngineers have traced stalls in a shoulder joint on Opportunity's robotic arm to a broken electrical wire. The shoulder motor has experienced greater temperature swings than other parts because of its location beside a heater that has been stuck in the &quot;on&quot; position since shortly after landing.Notes Matijevic, &quot;Our theory is that one of the wires in the electrical coil broke free and disabled the motor.&quot;Mechanical ProblemsExtremely cold temperatures have also caused mechanical problems. Recently, Opportunity's right front wheel began drawing excess electrical current, reminiscent of Spirit's right front wheel in 2004. The demand for more electrical current suggests that the wheel motor is working harder than usual. Engineers suspect that, like motor oil that can't handle freezing temperatures on Earth, gelid lubricant failed to flow properly and caused Spirit's right front wheel to fail.Adjusting ExpectationsRover drivers have compensated for Spirit's stuck wheel by driving on the other five wheels. They have compensated for Opportunity's stalled shoulder joint by unstowing it before going to sleep at night. This way, if the motor fails during the night, when temperatures are at their lowest, they would still have limited use of the arm by operating the remaining working joints. Each rover has lost a few temperature sensors as well, while dozens more continue operating.Time Will Tell

Sun has issued a refreshed beta build of Solaris Express 10. Build 69, Beta 7 is an incremental update that reaches several milestones. The bits flesh out Sun's Predicative Self-Healing initiative with the Service Management Facility, replace Gnome 2.0 with Sun's own Java Desktop Release 3, and bundle new tools to help debugging.

Rob Allen has posted a simple example of the Zend_Layout component (since it's in the trunk now) both with a screenshot of the output and the method to set it up.   This example consists of three view files: the outer layout file, the index action view script and a right hand side bar. The remainder of this post describes the key files. If you just want to poke around with the code, then it's at the bottom, so page down now!   He defines the directory layout, sets up his bootstrap file and creates the parts that do the work - the controller and the two-step view layer (with the "inner" scripts that output the information and the layout itself the content fits into).

Paul Jones has released two new concurrent versions of the Solar framework today:   Yesterday, I released Solar 0.27.0, then quick-fixed two minor bugs and released 0.27.1 an hour later. It feels so good to be back doing releases on a monthly basis.   Some of the updates/changes in these new releases include:  The use of spl_autolaod to load classes Locale functions have a new home a super-fast JSON encoder/decoder a modification to the SQL adapter for PDO A new bit of functionality in Solar_Url that can find the ".ext" filename extension in a URL automagically  You can download this latest update(s) from the framework's main website.
