''' Mars rover to land inside huge crater '''

Los Angeles: NASA’s next Mars rover will land at the foot of a towering mountain inside a 96-mile-wide crater to search for evidence that the region once had conditions capable of supporting microbial life, project officials announced.

Gale Crater was chosen as the target for the $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory mission after an extensive review of dozens of potential sites, officials said in webcast from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington.

The rover, nicknamed Curiosity, is expected to be launched this year and to land on Mars in August 2012. It’s far bigger than the three rovers NASA has previously sent to the red planet in search of geologic evidence that the frigid, dusty planet was once warmer and wet, with conditions that could potentially have supported a hardy form of life.

The three-mile-high mountain in Gale Crater is layered and scientists believe it is the remnant of an extensive sequence of deposits. The site also has a huge cut like Grand Canyon that appears to have been made by flowing water.

Mission planners intend to send the instrument-laden Curiosity up the lower flanks of the mountain to examine the layers.

Past studies from orbiting spacecraft show the mineral signatures of clays and sulfate salts, which form in the presence of water, concentrated in older layers near the bottom of the mountain. AP

		+	Saare jahan se acchha" is how Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian space traveler (and the only one so far), described how India looked from space. The squadron leader and test pilot with the Indian Air Force was speaking at the time to then prime minister Indira Gandhi, after spending eight days aboard the Salyut 7 space station along with two Soviet cosmonauts. They had departed on April 2, in a Soyuz T-11 spacecraft. The joint ISRO-Soviet Intercosmos space programme had reached a new high with this manned space mission. During the flight, Sharma performed multi-spectral photography of northern India, in anticipation of the construction of hydro-electric power stations in the Himalayas. Sharma spent almost eight days in space, during which time he carried out scientific and technical studies, mostly in the fields of biomedicine and remote sensing. On his return, Sharma and the two Russian cosmonauts were conferred the Ashoka Chakra-the highest gallantry award during peace time-as well as being honoured with the Hero of Soviet Union award.
