Mars Rovers to Continue to Run The venerable Mars Rovers, Spirit & Opportunity, will continue to run. On March 25th, it was announced that NASA directed the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to cut funding for the Mars Exploration program, including funding for the Rovers. In a rare move, NASA rescinded that letter and the Rovers will continue. For more information click here. Endeavour Lands Safely After 16 days in space and a highly successful mission, the space shuttle Endeavour landed at Kennedy Space Center at 8:39 EST on March 26th. The shuttle delivered the first section of a Japanese laboratory and a large robot. The next shuttle flight will be in May. For more information visit NASA. HUBBLE REPAIR MISSION DETAILED The space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to liftoff in August with a crew of seven astronauts and a cargo of equipment to fix & upgrade the Hubble Telescope in this fifth and final mission. This mission is a triumph of popular opinion. Former NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe had cancelled any future missions to fix the Hubble telescope after the Columbia disaster. The subsequent public outcry led to the decision by the current NASA Administrator, Michael Griffin, to repair Hubble. NEW PRODUCTS!
