A soviet spacecraft that was launched in 1972 is forecast for an uncontrolled re-entry likely on May 9th or 10th, 2025.
The Kosmos 482 descent craft is the lander module from a failed Soviet Venera mission to the planet Venus.
Its landing module, weighs in at 495 kg and is highly likely to reach the surface of Earth in one piece as it was designed to withstand 300 G’s of acceleration and 100 atmospheres of pressure.

A close up of the latest abrasion patch on Mars. The diameter of the patch is ~5cm (2 inches). Perseverance rover acquired this image using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm.
This image was acquired on April 18, 2025 (Sol 1479) at the local mean solar time of 12:54:46.

Now we have to wait for the samples page to be updated, then we'll know how small it is :)

Margin’ up the Crater Rim!
To conclude its exploration of the mysterious margin unit before it ascends the rim of Jezero Crater, Perseverance made one last stop this past week to investigate these strange rocks at “Eremita Mesa.” Read the new blog on this link https://science.nasa.gov/blog/margin-up-the-crater-rim/

Did Perseverance discover glowing minerals?

Drive on sol 1254 - Looks like they either fancied checking out the exposed rocks to the east side of the waypoint reached on sol 1253, or they wanted to get away from the soft regolith that appears could have halted the 1253 drive after ~3 meters.

Managed to add 2 additional tiles to one of the 4-tile NavCams acquired by Perseverance rover after its drive on sol 1246. If you think this vista is special, it's only going to get better as the rover climbs higher towards the crater rim.

As we close in on Curiosity Rover's 'Landiversary' I feel it is a good time to share one of my favourite images from its mission on Mars. This mid-afternoon mast camera (R-MastCam) image features a distant section of the inner rim wall of Gale earlier during mission, this was back on sol 1309, April 16, 2016.

Looks like we have the makings of a rather nice selfie from Perseverance rover. The full image set is currently being downlinked from Mars. Here's a quick and dirty mosaic roughly assembled using a selection of the available SHERLOC WATSON images.
The images were taken on July 24, 2024 (Sol 1218).

#CuriosityRover - #Sol4244 - Focus-stacked #MAHLI mosaic (4x1), acquired from a camera standoff distance of about 25 cm (~10") featuring the edges of 'Wishbone Lake'.
For scale the mosaic width is about 36.4 cm (14.3"), and is centered on the 'Arrowhead Spire' pebble.

Any idea where JPL have moved the Mars mission maps to? The old URL for M20 and MSL are broken. They have just reformatted a number of mission pages (raw images, home pages etc), but I cant find the new URLs for the maps...
