Curiosity rover is making an unscheduled stop on its way up Mount Sharp
on Mars, for a close-up look at a collection of actively moving sand
dunes. Images from orbit indicate that the Bagnold Dunes are migrating
as much as about 3 feet per Earth year, and includes one particular dune
that is about two-stories high and as broad as a football field.
Researchers plan to have the rover take samples for analysis. No active
dunes have ever been visited anywhere else in the solar system besides
Earth. Also, Orion cone panels welded, Launch approaches for Cygnus,
Student CubeSat onboard Cygnus, New crew access tower components and
more!
