Nasa tries to salvage Genesis solar dust

NASA says a poorly designed parachute is the likely reason its space probe, Genesis, came crashing back to earth last week, losing much of its cargo of solar dust.

DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, UTAH    -- A NASA spacecraft spun out of control and crashed into the Utah desert this    morning, putting a disastrous end to a years-long mission to bring back samples    of the Sun.

By PAUL FOY     DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah  -- Scientists with tweezers picked through the twisted wreckage of a space capsule that crash-landed on Earth, hoping that microscopic clues to the evolution of the solar system weren't completely lost in Utah's salt flats.    NASA engineers were stunned Wednesday when neither parachute deployed aboard the Genesis capsule and the craft plummeted to the ground at 193 mph, breaking open like a clamshell and exposing its collection of solar atoms to contamination...

Experts will recover enough of the shattered Genesis spacecraft to study captured solar particles that hold clues about the early solar system, NASA said Friday, two days after the capsule crashed in the Utah desert.

NASA&#39;s Mars rover Opportunity seems to have stumbled into something akin to a car wash that has left its solar panels much cleaner than those of its twin rover, Spirit.

NASA said Tuesday it is recycling two used spacecraft to lead new robotic missions to study comets and planets around other stars. The encore performances of the Deep Impact and Stardust probes allow the space agency to further its solar system exploration for a fraction of the cost it would take to start a mission from scratch.

Parachute problems forced NASA&#39;s Genesis spacecraft to slam into the Utah desert Wednesday and may have ruined an expensive and delicate attempt to study the origins of the solar system.

When NASAâs Genesis solar-wind sample return capsule skyrockets from space next week and drops into the Utah Test and Training Range, that landmark in civilian space draws upon a once classified satellite snooping program.

The first solar-wind samples recovered from the crashed Genesis space capsule will be examined by researchers in California. The Genesis crashed earlier this month into Utah&#39;s west desert.

Gusts of wind have cleared dust from  the solar collectors on one of two robot rovers on the surface  of Mars and both have awakened from the sleep NASA put them  into, the space agency said on Friday.

Thousands of samples from the Genesis space capsule have arrived at the Johnson Space Center, where the project's curator must assemble a giant jigsaw puzzle that could hold clues to the origins of the solar system.    Wafers on five collector panels that broke into thousands of pieces when the capsule slammed into Earth last month secured samples of atoms and ions from solar wind...

NASA scientists said yesterday they had recovered some intact materials from the wreckage of the Genesis space capsule that fell to Earth this week and were hopeful the mission to gather solar atoms could be salvaged.

Optimistic scientists on Thursday plucked dirt and mud from a mangled capsule which crashed in the Utah desert, hoping to find enough solar dust to yield clues about the dawn of the planetary system.
