6. Page 6 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

7. Page 7 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.

8. Page 8 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

9. Page 9 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

10. Page 10 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

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).
