Recent Missions - Ares 1-X Sucessful launch on Oct 28, 2009 2 minute powered flight, 6 min. total Splashdown 150 mi. downrange Parachute deployment problem
Booster damaged on impact
Successful shakedown flight, testing Ares design concepts

Recent Missions - LCROSS
LCROSS impact on moon on 9 October Centaur stage impacted first while
“shepherd” vehicle recorded data Nine LCROSS instruments successfully
captured each phase of the impact sequence: the impact flash, the ejecta plume, and the creation of the Centaur crater
Centaur impact left crater 92 ft. (28 m) wide Plume of vapor and fine debris detected Spectrographic and other analysis is
underway.

Recent Missions - Messenger Launch: August 3, 2004 aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket Gravity assist flybys
Earth, August 2005; Venus, October 2006, June 2007; Mercury, January 2008, October 2008, September 2009
Enter Mercury orbit: March 2011. Mission Plan : Orbit for one Earth year, studying
Composition and structure of Mercury’s crust Topography and geologic history The nature of its thin atmosphere and active magnetosphere, The makeup of its core and polar materials

Recent Missions - Spirit
Mars Rover Spirit has been operating on Mars for 69 mos. Became stuck in soft soil in Spring 2009. Light soil in image below was exposed after Spirit
attempted to free it’s wheels. Also battling memory problems

Recent Missions - Opportunity
Ran across three meteorites laying on the ground within a few weeks of each other (700 meters apart)
Heading towards
Endeavour Crater

Constellation Activities
An Orion crew module Ground Test Article at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Photo Credit: NASA
A demonstration test of the main parachute test equipment for the Orion crew exploration vehicle completed Oct. 2, 2009
Ground vibration test of the Orion Launch Abort System, August 2009
Orion flight test crew module - used for the Orion Pad Abort flight test starting early 2010
NASA conducted complete launch simulations of an Orion mission to ISS to verify operations tools and processes for Constellation Mission Ops. IMSim (Integrated Mission Simulation), gave a networked system of high
fidelity “physics” simulations, performed the real time launch and ascent simulation and post insertion burn.
The DON (Distributed Observer Network) distributed the IMSim visualizations to remote team members and saved them for playback later.
Both tools are part of the Constellation Modeling and Simulation Team (MaST).
