PHOE-SOL111-NASA-PIA11193.jpgIn Loving Memory...Six days after Lunexit! - Sol 111 (false colors; credits: NASA)67 visiteCome previsto dal Dr Faccin, ecco che - sebbene con 6 giorni di ritardo - è arrivata sul NASA Planetary Photojournal la scopiazzatura del frame da noi costruito in colori naturali e pubblicato il 18 Settembre u.s.
L'abbiamo detto un pò di volte, e lo ripetiamo: SIAMO ONORATI! Ma se, di quando in quando, la NASA desse a Lunexit quello che è di Lunexit...SAREMMO PIU' CONTENTI.
Null'altro da dire, purtroppo.MareKromium

000-Phoenix_Logo.jpgThe Phoenix Mars Lander Logo66 visiteThe Phoenix, a fabulous mythical bird the size of an eagle, symbolizes rebirth in many ancient cultures. According to the ancient Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, nearby a cool well and sings a beautiful morning song. The Phoenix lives 500 years or longer with only one Phoenix existing at a time.
When the bird's death approaches, it bursts into flames, and a new bird springs from the consumed pyre.
Similar to its namesake, the Phoenix Mission "raises from the ashes" a spacecraft and instruments from 2 previous unsuccessful attempts to explore Mars: the Mars Polar Lander and the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander. The Mars Polar Lander failed to return data upon its arrival to Mars' antarctic region on December 3, 1999 and left many ambitious science goals undone. Phoenix uses 3 instruments from this earlier Polar Lander, the SSI, the RA and the TEGA.
The Phoenix Mission uses the Mars Surveyor 2001 Lander, built in 2000, but later administratively mothballed. The '01 lander is undergoing modifications to improve the spacecraft's robustness and safety during entry, descent, and landing. Phoenix recovers two instruments delivered for the '01 lander that have been in protected storage: the MARDI and the MECA. Also, the RA has been modified from the '01 lander version.

PHOE-SOL001-lg_400-001.jpgVastitas Borealis - Sol 1 (Natural Colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)66 visiteCaption NASA:" This flat horizon stretches across the Red Planet as seen by the Phoenix Spacecraft after yesterday's landing on Mars. Touching down shortly after 7:30 pm Eastern Time, Phoenix made the first successful soft landing on Mars, using rockets to control its final speed, since the Viking landers in 1976. Launched in August of 2007, Phoenix has now made the northernmost landing and is intended to explore the Martian arctic's potentially ice-rich soil.
The lander has returned images and data initially indicating that it is in excellent shape after a nearly flawless descent. News updates will be available throughout the day".MareKromium

PHOE-SOL001-M-Photocomposite-01.jpgThe Surface of Vastitas and the Sky above - Sol 1 (Photocomposite; True Colors + MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Dr M. Faccin & Lunexit)66 visiteUna splendida immagine, ad oggi - e LETTERALMENTE! - Unica al Mondo. Un Grazie davvero infinito al Dr Faccin, al Dr Barca (che sta già operando su altri frames Phoenix) ed a tutti coloro che leggono le nostre pagine.MareKromium

PHOE-SOL001-M-Photocomposite-00.jpgThe Surface of Vastitas and the Sky above - Sol 1 (Photocomposite; RAW Color Data; credits: Dr M. Faccin)66 visiteQuesta immagine è una fotocomposizione in colori "RAW", ossìa interpretando le informazioni-colore contenute nel frame e SENZA applicazione di filtri e procedimento MULTISPECTRUM. Probabilmente, le prime immagini a colori "false" ed "approximate true" Made by NASA, saranno simili a questa (una conclusione ovvia anche perchè, come potete vedere bene Voi stessi, l'Immaginario Collettivo non viene disturbato da questo tipo di colorizzazione: il Pianeta Rosso, infatti ed anche nella Regione di Vastitas, appare ancora del suo tipico colorito arancio-mattone con sfumature ruggine e giallo chiaro: il colore, ribadiamo, dell'Immaginazione).
Ma Marte NON E' esattamente così, come ormai sappiamo bene tutti... MareKromium

PHOE-SOL000-HIRISE.jpgThe Descent of Phoenix, from MRO - Sol 066 visiteCaption NASA:"NASA's Mars Phoenix Lander can be seen parachuting down to Mars, in this image captured by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. This is the first time that a spacecraft has imaged the final descent of another spacecraft onto a planetary body.
From a distance of about 310 Km (193 miles) above the surface of the Red Planet, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter pointed its HiRISE obliquely toward Phoenix shortly after it opened its parachute while descending through the Martian Atmosphere. The image reveals an apparent 10-meter-wide (30-foot-wide) parachute fully inflated. The bright pixels below the parachute show a dangling Phoenix. The image faintly detects the chords attaching the backshell and parachute. The surroundings look dark, but correspond to the fully illuminated Martian surface, which is much darker than the parachute and backshell.
Phoenix released its parachute at an altitude of about 12,6 Km (7,8 miles) and a velocity of 1.7 times the speed of sound".MareKromium

PHOE-SOL007-PIA10742.jpgICE!!!!! - Sol 7 (True Colors; credits: Dr Marco Faccin)66 visiteUna roccia? Noi, dopo aver esaminato l'immagine processata in Colori Veri (grazie al Dr Faccin), siamo dell'idea che questo sia Ghiaccio.
Un bel "blocco di ghiaccio d'acqua", di colorito bianco/azzurro.
Ed una piccola nota: Lunar Explorer Italia è la PRIMA Libera Associazione di Ricerca al Mondo che Vi presenta questi frames (probabilmente di valore Storico) in True Colors!
E scusateci se non è abbastanza...MareKromium
