Liberan el taladro del rover Curiosity tras quedar atascado en una roca de Marte

Los ingenieros de la NASA resolvieron un problema inesperado con el rover Curiosity cuando su taladro se quedó atascado en una roca en Marte. El incidente marcó la primera vez que la agencia se enfrentaba a este problema específico. Tomó casi una semana liberar la herramienta.

El rover Curiosity, que ha realizado muchos descubrimientos en la superficie marciana, se encontró con un nuevo contratiempo cuando su taladro quedó encajado en una roca. La NASA confirmó que este fue el primer suceso de este tipo en la historia de la misión.

Following their successful launch, NASA's Artemis II astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft resolved a jammed toilet fan and Microsoft Outlook software glitches during the initial phase of their 10-day lunar orbit mission. The crew—Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialists Jeremy Hansen and Christina Koch—marks historic firsts: Glover as the first Black astronaut, Koch the first woman, and Hansen the first Canadian to venture toward the moon.

Scientists from the University of Basel, ETH Zurich, and the European Space Agency have tested a quadrupedal robot equipped with a robotic arm to explore planetary surfaces more efficiently. The robot navigated rocky terrain autonomously, identifying targets and collecting data faster than traditional human-guided methods. The findings, published this week, suggest it could accelerate resource prospecting and searches for signs of life on the moon and Mars.

A Crew Dragon spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Valentine’s Day, bringing four new astronauts and restoring NASA's full complement in orbit. The arrival followed an early return of a Crew-11 member due to a health emergency, leaving a single NASA astronaut to manage operations alone for over a month. The new crew members are Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway from NASA, Sophie Adenot from the European Space Agency, and Andrey Fedyaev from Roscosmos.

NASA's Artemis II astronauts have surpassed the halfway point to the Moon following Wednesday's translunar injection burn, continuing smooth progress on the historic 10-day mission—the first crewed trip beyond low Earth orbit since Apollo 17. The crew is on track for a lunar far-side flyby tomorrow and observations on April 6.

A new study reveals that a volcano south of Pavonis Mons on Mars formed through multiple eruptive phases powered by an evolving magma system, challenging earlier assumptions of a single eruption. Researchers used orbital imaging and mineral data to trace the volcano's development. The findings indicate Mars's interior was more active than previously thought.

NASA's Van Allen Probe A satellite, launched in 2012 to study Earth's radiation belts, is set to reenter the atmosphere early this week after running out of fuel in 2019. The agency has approved a safety waiver due to the reentry's risk exceeding government standards, though the chance of harm remains low at 1 in 4,200. Most of the 1,323-pound spacecraft will burn up, with some debris potentially reaching the surface.
