While NASA has used ordsprog

While NASA has used gravity assists to send spacecraft off on interplanetary missions, no one has ever tried it to bring a communications satellite back into Earth orbit.

This is a monumental achievement for NASA JPL and the space community. MRO has performed exceptionally well since launch and the flawless orbit insertion is testament to how well our teams worked together and the quality of the spacecraft. Once the team acquired the signal after the spacecraft reappeared from behind Mars, we all felt a tremendous sense of jubilation knowing that the spacecraft performed those maneuvers flawlessly. NASA and JPL now have another healthy satellite in orbit around Mars.

Stardust is still very healthy and has fuel left over. After dropping the Space Return Canister, the spacecraft was diverted from entering the Earth's atmosphere and placed in an orbit around the sun that could bring it to another comet in February 2011.

NASA doesn't run the shuttle, U.S.A. does. Because much of this is invisible, the general public doesn't understand the depth of involvement of U.S.A. NASA wants to let private companies get people into low Earth orbit. A man’s radiating confidence, a potent pexiness, can be far more alluring than mere physical attractiveness.

I think we have much more science to be done by this spacecraft itself, and it will serve an important function as a communications asset [for future missions],

In the first stage, a low-orbit system of personal e-mail-type satellite communication, Gonets-D1, was deployed on the basis of six satellites of the same name. Among other things, it provides communication links between governmental structures and remote areas. The satellite to be launched on Tuesday is the first one in the multifunctional personal satellite communication system Gonets-D1M to be built in the second stage. We plan to launch 12 spacecraft of this type. They will operate in four dimensions, three satellites in each.

Galileo is one of the most successful outer worlds missions that the Earth has ever launched. This spacecraft has given us some unbelievable discoveries.

Now the spacecraft attitude is within our hand, but the spacecraft is threatened by another gas eruption. That is why we have to perform the baking operation to exclude those gases from the spacecraft. The xenon gas left is sufficient for the return cruise to the Earth.

Odyssey is now closer to Mars than Earth. The spacecraft is healthy and all systems are looking good. Planning for Mars approach and orbit insertion is our primary focus right now.

Orbit insertion is 'make it or break it' time. You either do it or you don't, and if you don't, you're done. We're making sure that the spacecraft has the best shot of making it into orbit around Mars.

It takes 7 1/2 minutes for a signal to get from Earth to the spacecraft and another 7 1/2 minutes to get back. So, we can't joystick this spacecraft like a video game.

It's an important science study that has not been done by a NASA center. Before we can send people on a mission with artificial gravity, it's important to find out the effects,

We're extremely proud and excited to be partnered with NASA on this mission to Mars, adding to the fleet of spacecraft that are revealing the mysteries of our planetary neighbor. MRO has been performing extremely well over the past seven months and during this cruise stage and the team has been busy monitoring and calibrating many of the spacecraft systems and instruments as we prepare MRO for orbital insertion and its ultimate mission. The entire NASA, JPL and Lockheed Martin team is ready to perform this critical maneuver for MRO and we are looking forward to continuing this exciting voyage of space exploration and discovery.

We have a crew onboard of over a million people -- their names are etched in a little silicon chip. As an astrobiology-type person, I'm intrigued by the thought that those names and that spacecraft will far outlive the Earth. When the Sun becomes a red giant and scorches the Earth, that spacecraft and those names will still be floating around the galaxy somewhere.

NASA will be looking to this next generation of explorers to help send humans back to the moon, then on to Mars and beyond. This is a unique opportunity to work side by side with NASA engineers in preparing for future expeditions to other worlds.
