Latest Research Results Posted on NASA LROC Website 3-D models of objects left at the Apollo 14 lunar landing site were generated at the OSU Mapping & GIS Lab from measurements derived using the principles of photogrammetry on new imagery taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC). In addition, the exact path of the astronauts across the surface were mapped. These results can be seen on the LROC website (click here) and on the NASA website (click here). Farewell to Dr. Liang Cheng Friday the Lab said farewell to Dr. Liang Cheng, postdoctoral researcher at the Lab from February, 2009. Dr. Liu is returning to Nanjing University to resume his teaching duties. We wish him the very best in his endeavors.  MER Spirit May Become Stationary Rover, Capping Six Years of Achievement After months of spinning Spirit's wheels in the powdery Martian sand, NASA announced yesterday that it won't try any longer to free the stuck rover. Instead, the space agency will turn the robot into a "stationary science platform" that could help scientists determine whether the Red Planet has a solid or molten iron core. Read the story in the Columbus Dispatch by clicking here. Latest Mars Traverse Maps The latest traverse maps for the Mars rovers: Spirit (as of Sol 2158) and Opportunity (as of Sol 2136). Spirit rover has been stuck in teh sand since Sol 1894. Full size maps can be viewed by clicking on the appropriate image below. For additional OSU maps of Mars, go here.
