More about youth. And while they may have played a role in our beginnings, comets could one day be tapped by future human space explorers as a source for water, oxygen and hydrogen fuel for far-flung space missions, NASA researchers said.

To be able to offer a larger number or lower-cost, moderately-size, but fully valid, educational-scientific missions has natural advantages. Low-budget missions can be formulated to look at "new" aspects, thus preparing the ground for future, larger missions, if such more exploratory work is successful. The envisaged duration of the development of small educational satellites and spacecraft of a few (2-4) years creates the possibility to phase the educational cycle with the development and operation of such scientific missions. My general comments about University led low cost missions is that someone always pays - either a sponsor, the University or via time given up by students and professors.

You can then start to share you ideas, post new forums and contribute to the area of Goals for Moon Mars Missions. - archives and distributes scientific data from NASA planetary missions, astronomical observations, and laboratory measurements. And have no further plans for sending manned missions to maintain or repair the Hubble, it will continue to work until wear and tear take their inevitable toll on its components and backup systems. Back in January, NASA's chief Sean O'Keefe ruled out any more manned missions to maintain the HST, as it was deemed too risky following the Columbia accident. A new safety regime brought in for space shuttle flights following the Columbia disaster ruled out any further missions to service Hubble. Despite recent suggestions made by an influential panel of researchers that the US space agency keep its options open over manned servicing missions, Nasa chief Sean O'Keefe has given no indication that he will change his mind. Nasa ceased manned missions to service Hubble after the Columbia disaster.

"I was really hoping they could come up with an acronym so we could call it Tucson, but Phoenix is aptly named, as it's rising from the ashes of failed missions," Drake said. It's recapturing the science from both of those missions," Enos said.
