... In situ Composition Investigations (VICI). ELSAH will receive funds to develop cost-effective techniques that limit spacecraft contamination and thereby enable life detection measurements on cost-capped missions, while the VICI mission concept will...
... the least. Could the signals that Del Sordo and Damasso saw in their search for Proxima c be contamination due to a flaring star or were they solely those of a transiting exoplanet? It should be noted that studies by both Del...
...’. “The booms are deployed before all thrusters can be fired on the spacecraft, as some thrusters can potentially contaminate the instruments onboard,” explains Andrea Accomazzo, Flight Director for the mission. “The sooner all thrusters...
... of the stable brines could be targets for future Martian exploration, more so now since the risk of biological contamination from Earth is negligible, say the team.
... about the large-scale structure of the Universe is a big deal, but Shamir seems confident that no error or contamination of the data is apparent because of the "unique, complex and consistent patterns," of the galaxies. "We have two different...
... up, say the JAXA team. When coupled with finding a container sealed with aluminium as designed – a feature to prevent contamination from Earth’s atmosphere – the team are in no doubt that the gas is from Ryugu. Along with the...
