The ambitious and exciting Dawn mission is one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, the probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world Ceres. The spacecraft has already completed a spectacular exploration of Vesta. These were among the last uncharted worlds in the inner solar system prior to Dawn. They are the two most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres is so large that it is included in the category of dwarf planets, along with Pluto. The alien landscapes Dawn reveals provide humankind with a new perspective on the solar system. Remnants from the time that planets were formed, Ceres and Vesta hold clues that will help scientists understand the dawn of the solar system. Dawn orbited Vesta from July 2011 to September 2012 and returned astonishing views of this fascinating world. It is the only spaceship ever to orbit an object in the asteroid belt and is the first ever targeted to orbit any two extraterrestrial destinations. Such a mission would be truly impossible without the use of ion propulsion, a technology that has mostly been in the domain of science fiction. Dr. Marc Rayman will give a fascinating and entertaining presentation on the Dawn mission and its two exotic destinations as well as its use of ion propulsion. He also will share the excitement and profundity of controlling a robotic ambassador from Earth in deep space.

I noticed when the "Strange Lights" on CERES started to hit the airwaves and the internet. Instead of embracing the new traffic and helping people find images related to the mission, NASA burried the Dawn data by taking it from their Mission menu and making you have to search for it manually. This was a red flag for me back then and I have now used the WayBack machine on the internet to prove that they did do this.

wn.com/Strange Wall In New Ceres Image Dawn Mission Removed From Nasa Menu
I noticed when the "Strange Lights" on CERES started to hit the airwaves and the internet. Instead of embracing the new traffic and helping people find images related to the mission, NASA burried the Dawn data by taking it from their Mission menu and making you have to search for it manually. This was a red flag for me back then and I have now used the WayBack machine on the internet to prove that they did do this. Now for this strange and very bright area of the HAMO 37 shot that seems to have a wall built directly in front of it for some reason. Is this a wall or a trench? I will leave it up to you to let me know!

www.undergroundworldnews.com
Ancient astronaut alert! More weird features have been spotted by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on Ceres, a dwarf planet and the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
As Dawn first made its approach on Ceres earlier this year, it caught sight of large, bright and mysterious reflective spots in a crater on the big rock, which is also believed to contain quite a bit of water, ice and/or mud in its interior.
Now orbiting at a near altitude of just 2,700 miles, those big spots remain a mystery (the leading guess is still reflective patches of ice or salts), but Dawn is also beginning to pick out other bright spots and an odd pyramid-shaped peak that NASA estimates to be three miles tall, which would put it higher than any of the Rocky Mountains. The image with the peak was taken on June 6 and released Wednesday.

El próximo viernes 6 de marzo la nave espacial Dawn de la NASA entrará en la órbita de Ceres, un misterioso mundo del tamaño del estado de Texas (950 km de diámetro), el más grande del cinturón de asteroides, que parece contener abundante agua. Los científicos creen que la visita al planeta enano puede proporcionar interesante información acerca de cómo fueron los orígenes de nuestro sistema solar y, por lo tanto, de nuestro hogar la Tierra.
«Dawn está a punto de hacer historia», afirma Robert Mase, director del proyecto para la misión Dawn del Laboratorio de Propulsión a Chorro (JPL) de la NASA en Pasadena, California. «Nuestro equipo está preparado y con ganas de descubrir lo que Ceres tiene reservado para nosotros».
La nave Dawn, a punto de hacer historia, se acerca al planeta enano Ceres.
Nuevas imágenes de Ceres.
«El estudio de Ceres nos permite hacer investigación histórica en el espacio, la apertura de una ventana en el primer capítulo de la historia del sistema solar», dice Jim Green, director de la División de Ciencias Planetarias de la NASA en la sede de la agencia en Washington. «Los datos devueltos desde Dawn podrían contribuir avances significativos en nuestra comprensión de cómo se formó el sistema solar».
Dawn comenzó su fase de aproximación final hacia Ceres en diciembre. La nave espacial ha tomado varias imágenes de navegación óptica y ha observado a Ceres a través de toda su rotación de nueve horas. Desde el 25 de enero, Dawn ha entregado las imágenes de más alta resolución de Ceres nunca logradas, y seguirá mejorando en la calidad.
El astrónomo siciliano Giuseppe Piazzi descubrió Ceres en 1801. A medida que se encontraron más objetos similares en la misma región, llegaron a ser conocidos como asteroides o planetas menores. Ceres fue clasificado inicialmente como un planeta y más tarde pasó a la categoría de asteroide. En reconocimiento a sus cualidades similares a las de los planetas, Ceres fue designado un planeta enano en 2006, junto con el polémico Plutón y Eris.
Ceres es el nombre de la diosa romana de la agricultura y las cosechas. Los cráteres en Ceres también recibirán los nombres de los dioses y diosas de la agricultura recogidos por la mitología de todo el mundo.
Propulsión de iones.
Lanzada en septiembre de 2007, Dawn exploró el asteroide gigante Vesta durante 14 meses entre 2011 y 2012, capturando imágenes detalladas y datos acerca de ese cuerpo. Tanto Vesta como Ceres orbitan alrededor del Sol entre Marte y Júpiter, en el cinturón principal de asteroides. Este tour de dos paradas por nuestro sistema solar es posible por el sistema de propulsión de iones de Dawn, siendo mucho más eficiente que la propulsión química, según explica la NASA en un comunicado.
«Tanto Vesta como Ceres estaban en camino a convertirse en planetas, pero su desarrollo fue interrumpido por la gravedad de Júpiter», explica Carol Raymond, subdirectora científica del proyecto en el JPL. «Estos dos cuerpos son como fósiles de los albores del sistema solar, y arrojan luz sobre sus orígenes».
Aún así, Ceres y Vesta tienen varias diferencias importantes. Ceres es el cuerpo más masivo del cinturón de asteroides, con un diámetro medio de 950 km, aproximadamente el 38% del área de la parte continental de Estados Unidos. Mientras, Vesta tiene un diámetro medio de 525 km, y es el segundo cuerpo más masivo del cinturón. Es muy seco, al contrario que Ceres, que se estima tiene un 25% de agua.
«Mediante el estudio de Vesta y Ceres, vamos a obtener una mejor comprensión de la formación de nuestro sistema solar, especialmente de los planetas terrestres, y lo más importante, de la Tierra», dice Raymond. «Estos cuerpos son muestras de los bloques de construcción que han formado Venus, la Tierra y Marte. Se cree que objetos como Vesta han contribuido en gran medida al núcleo de nuestro planeta, y los cuerpos similares a Ceres pueden haber proporcionado nuestra agua».

During a NASA Television Science briefing, scientists discussed the findings of the first global analysis of the giant asteroid Vesta by NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The Dawn mission has confirmed Vesta's status as a special fossil of the early solar system and revealed a more varied, diverse world than originally thought. Dawn has shown Vesta is the only known intact, layered planetary building block with an iron core surviving from the earliest days of the solar system. It therefore more closely resembles a small planet or Earth's moon, not another asteroid.

A Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series talk, held December 4 and 5 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, addressed the ambitious and exciting mission of the Dawn spacecraft, one of NASA's most remarkable ventures into the solar system. After more than seven years of interplanetary spaceflight, which included a spectacular exploration of the asteroid Vesta, the Dawn probe is just a few months away from the mysterious world, Ceres. Ceres and Vesta are two of the most massive residents of the main asteroid belt, that vast collection of bodies between Mars and Jupiter. Dr. Marc Rayman, Dawn Project Mission Director, is the featured speaker.

"Building satellites isn't easy. They're complex, expensive, and not to mention hard to make! This is why whenever NASA makes a new satellite--like the MAVEN mission to Mars--its scientists and engineers do everything they can to make sure it's done right.
Now, putting a satellite together is nothing like putting together, say, an office chair. A single bolt can take hours to install, and you can't even imagine how complex the electronics are!"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAVEN
Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) is a planned space exploration mission to send a space probe to orbit Mars and study its atmosphere. It will help determine what caused the Martian atmosphere —and water— to be lost to space, making the climate increasingly inhospitable for life.
Program overview
The mission was spawned by NASA's Mars Scout Program, which although discontinued in 2010, yielded Phoenix and MAVEN, as well as numerous missions studies. Mars Scout missions target a cost less than USD$485 million, not including launch service, which is approximately $187 million.
On September 15, 2008 NASA announced that it had selected MAVEN to be the Mars Scout 2013 mission, a part of the Mars Scout Program. There was one other finalist and eight other proposals that were competing against MAVEN to be the Mars Scout 2013 mission.
NASA will launch MAVEN in late 2013 using an Atlas V 401 rocket. The launch window is between November 18, 2013 and December 7, 2013. Assuming a November 18 launch, MAVEN will be inserted on September 22, 2014 into an elliptic orbit 6,200 km (3,900 mi) by 150 km (93 mi) above the planet's surface. The principal investigator for MAVEN is Bruce Jakosky of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Objectives
Features on Mars resembling dry riverbeds, and the discovery of minerals that form in the presence of water, indicate that Mars once had a thicker atmosphere and was warm enough for liquid water to flow on the surface. However, that thick atmosphere was somehow lost to space. Scientists suspect that, over millions of years, Mars lost 99% of its atmosphere as the planet's core cooled and its magnetic field decayed, allowing solar winds to sweep away most of the water and volatile compounds the atmosphere once contained.
The goal of MAVEN is to determine the history of the loss of atmospheric gases to space through time, providing answers about Mars climate evolution. By measuring the current rate of escape to space and gathering enough information about the relevant processes, scientists will be able to infer how the planet's atmosphere evolved in time.

Mission Overview: Why Go to Pluto ? Planetary exploration is a historic endeavor and a major focus of NASA. New Horizons is designed to help us understand worlds at the edge of our solar system by making the first reconnaissance of Pluto and Charon - a "double planet" and the last planet in our solar system to be visited by spacecraft. Then, as part of an extended mission, New Horizons would visit one or more objects in the Kuiper Belt region beyond Neptune.
Science at the Frontier
Our solar system contains three zones: the inner, rocky planets; the gas giant planets; and the Kuiper Belt. Pluto is one of the largest bodies of the icy, "third zone" of our solar system. The National Academy of Sciences placed the exploration of the third zone in general - and Pluto-Charon in particular - among its highest priority planetary mission rankings for this decade. New Horizons is NASA's mission to fulfill this objective.
In those zones, our solar system has three classes of planets: the rocky worlds (Earth, Venus, Mercury and Mars); the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune); and the ice dwarfs of the Kuiper Belt. There are far more ice dwarf planets than rocky and gas giant worlds combined - yet, no spacecraft has been sent to a planet in this class. The National Academy of Sciences noted that our knowledge of planetary types is therefore seriously incomplete. As the first mission to investigate this new class of planetary bodies, New Horizons will fill this important gap and round out our knowledge of the planets in our solar system.
Ancient Relics
The ice dwarfs are planetary embryos, whose growth stopped at sizes (200 to 2,000 kilometers across) much smaller than the full-grown planets in the inner solar system and the gas giants region. The ice dwarfs are ancient relics that formed over 4 billion years ago. Because they are literally the bodies out of which the larger planets accumulated, the ice dwarfs have a great deal to teach us about planetary formation. New Horizons seeks those answers.
Binary Planet
Pluto's largest moon, Charon, is half the size of Pluto. The pair form a binary planet, whose gravitational balance point is between the two bodies. Although binary planets are thought to be common in the galaxy, as are binary stars, no spacecraft has yet explored one. New Horizons will be the first mission to a binary object of any type.
A Mission with Impact
The Kuiper Belt is the major source of cometary impactors on Earth, like the impactor that wiped out the dinosaurs. New Horizons will shed new light on the number of such Kuiper Belt impactors as a function of their size by cataloging the various-sized craters on Pluto, its moons, and on Kuiper Belt Objects.
Pluto and the Kuiper Belt are known to be heavily endowed with organic (carbon-bearing) molecules and water ice — the raw materials out of which life evolves. New Horizons will explore the composition of this material on the surfaces of Pluto, its moons and Kuiper Belt Objects.
The Great Escape
Pluto's atmosphere is escaping to space like a comet, but on a planetary scale. Nothing like this exists anywhere else in the solar system. It is thought that the Earth's original hydrogen/helium atmosphere was lost to space this way. By studying Pluto's atmospheric escape, we can learn a great deal about the evolution of Earth's atmosphere. New Horizons will determine Pluto's atmospheric structure and composition and directly measure its escape rate for the first time.
The Need to Explore
As the first voyage to a whole new class of planets in the farthest zone of the solar system, New Horizons is a historic mission of exploration. The United States has made history by being the first nation to reach every planet from Mercury to Neptune with a space probe. The New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt - the first NASA launch to a "new" planet since Voyager more than 30 years ago - allows the U.S. to complete the reconnaissance of the solar system.

Hidden Portals in Earth's Magnetic Field
07.02.12
A NASA-sponsored researcher at the University of Iowa has developed a way for spacecraft to hunt down hidden magnetic portals in the vicinity of Earth. These gateways link the magnetic field of our planet to that of the sun, setting the stage for stormy space weather. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission will study these portals.

A favorite theme of science fiction is "the portal"--an extraordinary opening in space or time that connects travelers to distant realms. A good portal is a shortcut, a guide, a door into the unknown. If only they actually existed....
It turns out that they do, sort of, and a NASA-funded researcher at the University of Iowa has figured out how to find them.
"We call them X-points or electron diffusion regions," explains plasma physicist Jack Scudder of the University of Iowa. "They're places where the magnetic field of Earth connects to the magnetic field of the Sun, creating an uninterrupted path leading from our own planet to the sun's atmosphere 93 million miles away."
Observations by NASA's THEMIS spacecraft and Europe's Cluster probes suggest that these magnetic portals open and close dozens of times each day. They're typically located a few tens of thousands of kilometers from Earth where the geomagnetic field meets the onrushing solar wind. Most portals are small and short-lived; others are yawning, vast, and sustained. Tons of energetic particles can flow through the openings, heating Earth's upper atmosphere, sparking geomagnetic storms, and igniting bright polar auroras.
NASA is planning a mission called "MMS," short for Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, due to launch in 2014, to study the phenomenon. Bristling with energetic particle detectors and magnetic sensors, the four spacecraft of MMS will spread out in Earth's magnetosphere and surround the portals to observe how they work.
Just one problem: Finding them. Magnetic portals are invisible, unstable, and elusive. They open and close without warning "and there are no signposts to guide us in," notes Scudder.
Actually, there are signposts, and Scudder has found them.
Portals form via the process of magnetic reconnection. Mingling lines of magnetic force from the sun and Earth criss-cross and join to create the openings. "X-points" are where the criss-cross takes place. The sudden joining of magnetic fields can propel jets of charged particles from the X-point, creating an "electron diffusion region."
To learn how to pinpoint these events, Scudder looked at data from a space probe that orbited Earth more than 10 years ago.
"In the late 1990s, NASA's Polar spacecraft spent years in Earth's magnetosphere," explains Scudder, "and it encountered many X-points during its mission."
Data from NASA's Polar spacecraft, circa 1998, provided crucial clues to finding magnetic X-points.Credit: NASA Because Polar carried sensors similar to those of MMS, Scudder decided to see how an X-point looked to Polar. "Using Polar data, we have found five simple combinations of magnetic field and energetic particle measurements that tell us when we've come across an X-point or an electron diffusion region. A single spacecraft, properly instrumented, can make these measurements."
This means that single member of the MMS constellation using the diagnostics can find a portal and alert other members of the constellation. Mission planners long thought that MMS might have to spend a year or so learning to find portals before it could study them. Scudder's work short cuts the process, allowing MMS to get to work without delay.
It's a shortcut worthy of the best portals of fiction, only this time the portals are real. And with the new "signposts" we know how to find them.

ATLANTA — A NASA-funded study written by aerospace engineering company SpaceWorks says that keeping astronauts unconscious during long flights in space cuts down on the equipment and resources needed on the shuttle, and also eliminates the negative psychological effects of long hauls in space.
According to SpaceWorks’ study on cryogenic sleep, which borrowed ideas from doctors, a human body can be forced into a state of hibernation by simply lowering the body temperature to 93 degrees Fahrenheit. The lowered body temperature causes the body’s heart rate and metabolism to decrease, effectively placing it in a state of unconsciousness.
The body will subsist on intravenous feeding tubes that pump the necessary lipids, amino acids and various nutrients into the body. Other tubes will drain urine as well as monitor the body.
According to mockups, a torpor-statis habitat can hold six astronauts at once and robotic arms will ensure everyone’s basic needs are met. In their study, SpaceWorks says that they imagine the crew would wake up in a staggered pattern so that at least one person is awake at all times.
So far humans are only able to maintain stasis for two weeks, although the trip from Earth to Mars is expected to take up to nine months.
NASA has declined to fund the second stage of the research though and SpaceWorks, citing its potential therapeutic benefits, is now looking into using the technology here on Earth.

The sun emitted a significant solar flare, peaking at 6:11 pm EDT on May 5, 2015. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground, however -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel.
This flare is classified as an X2.7-class flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength. An X2 is twice as intense as an X1, an X3 is three times as intense, etc.

New NASA images of dwarf planet feature ‘intriguing’ bright spots
New images taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft focus on mysterious bright, white spots in a crater on the dwarf planet, Ceres.
The spots “gleam with mystery” and it’s “anyone’s guess” what the spots could be, according to the NASA Dawn team.
People have been encouraged to vote in a poll with options including volcano, geyser, rock, ice or salt deposit.
The Dawn team have also noted that the rim of

WTF is happening on Ceres - NASA takes close-ups of Ceres’s strange white spots. Still can't explain them
Back in February, footage from NASA's Dawn spacecraft revealed something strange on the dwarf planet Ceres - two white patches reflecting brightly in the middle of a huge, dark crater.
The first assumption was that they were big patches of ice, but the wavelengths of light they're reflecting

NASA Reveals Closest Look at Ceres' Mysterious Spots
NASA's Dawn spacecraft provided the closest view yet of the Occator crater, located on the dwarf planet Ceres. The crater is home to some of Ceres' intriguing bright spots, which scientists have theorized could be anything from ice to salt deposits. NASA created the recently released image of the crater by combining two images: one of the properly exposed bright spots and one of the land around th

Sonda Dawn já havia detectado brilho em Ceres; aproximação do planeta não resolveu mistério.A equipe da agência espacial americana, Nasa, responsável pela missão ao planeta anão Ceres, divulgou novas e surpreendentes imagens dos misteriosos pontos de luz em uma das crateras do local.
Nesta semana, as fotos e os dados sobre Ceres, fornecidos pela sonda Dawn, foram apresentados na Conferência Europeia de Ciência Planetária, em Nantes, na França.
A sonda agora está orbitando o planeta anão, reunindo dados detalhados sobre a geologia e composição de Ceres. No começo do ano, a Dawn já tinha enviado imagens dos pontos de luz em uma cratera de 90 quilômetros de largura, enquanto se aproximava do planeta.
Apesar das imagens mais detalhadas, os cientistas ainda não conseguiram decifrar o que esses pontos brilhantes significam.
"Não descobrimos a fonte do material branco. Acreditamos que seja sal que, de alguma forma, chegou à superfície (de Ceres). Estamos medindo os contornos, tentando compreender o que as variações da superfície daquela cratera estão nos dizendo", disse Chris Russell, da Universidade da Califórnia, em Los Angeles, e um dos principais pesquisadores da missão Dawn.Ceres é um planeta anão localizado no cinturão de asteroides do Sistema Solar, e a sonda Dawn atualmente está orbitando o planeta a uma distância de 1.470 quilômetros. A cada 11 dias a sonda faz imagens de toda a superfície do planeta.
Ceres, Vesta e os pontos brilhantes
Há oito anos, a Dawn decolou do Cabo Canaveral, no Estado americano da Flórida, para iniciar sua missão.
Antes de chegar a Ceres, há seis meses, a sonda ainda passou pelo asteroide Vesta, onde ficou entre 2011 e 2012.
Agora, a Dawn enviou de volta mais dados de Ceres, incluindo um novo mapa topográfico mostrando as formas de toda a superfície do planeta anão, com detalhes inéditos.
"As formas irregulares das crateras de Ceres são muito interessantes, lembrando crateras que observamos na lua gelada de Saturno Reha. Elas são muito diferentes das crateras em forma de bacia em Vesta", disse a vice-diretora de missão Carlo Raymond, do Laboratório de Propulsão a Jato da Nasa, na Califórnia.
A agência espacial americana também apresentou uma imagem em forma de mosaico, no qual as cores foram destacadas para dar mais informações sobre a composição de Ceres. Mas provavelmente essas imagens levantam mais questões do que oferecem respostas."Há um anel azul interessante aqui. Não temos a mínima ideia do que o provocou", disse Russell durante entrevista coletiva em Nantes.
"E também há raios pela superfície que apontam para a cratera Occator, com seus pontos brilhantes. Estamos examinando isso, mas ainda não deciframos o problema."
Montanha
Também foi avistada uma montanha de formato estranho, com 6 km de altura, em um terreno relativamente plano. A equipe da sonda Dawn também está tentando descobrir o que é esta montanha porque, de acordo com Russell, ela não parece ser resultado de nenhum processo geológico conhecido.
"Estamos tendo dificuldades em compreender o que formou aquela montanha", disse o cientista a jornalistas.
Agora em outubro, Dawn vai começar uma descida para chegar à altitude final na órbita de Ceres, de 375 quilômetros, onde deve ficar para sempre.
Mesmo depois de encerrar suas operações, a partir do segundo semestre de 2016, a sonda deve permanecer estável nesta órbita, se transformando em um objeto que permanentemente vai circular acima de Ceres.
"Não vamos sair de Ceres. Vamos ficar na órbita de Ceres para sempre", afirmou Russell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_(spacecraft)
Soyuz (Russian: Сою́з IPA: [sɐˈjʉs], Union) is a series of spacecraft designed for the Soviet space programme by the Korolyov Design Bureau (now RKK Energia) in the 1960s that remains in service today. The Soyuz succeeded the Voskhod spacecraft and was originally built as part of the Soviet Manned Lunar programme.
The Soyuz spacecraft is launched on a Soyuz rocket, the most frequently used and most reliable launch vehicle in the world to date. The Soyuz rocket design is based on the Vostok launcher, which in turn was based on the 8K74 or R-7A Semyorka, a Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile. All Soyuz spacecraft are launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The first Soyuz flight was unmanned and started on November 28, 1966. The first mission with a crew, Soyuz 1, launched on 23 April 1967 but ended with a crash due to a parachute failure, killing cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. The following flight was unmanned. Soyuz 3, launched on October 26, 1968, became the program's first successful manned mission. The only other flight to suffer a fatal accident, Soyuz 11, killed its crew of three when the cabin depressurized prematurely just before reentry. These were the only humans to date to have died above the Kármán line. Despite these early incidents, Soyuz is widely considered the world's safest, most cost-effective human spaceflight vehicle, established by its unparalleled length of operational history.
Soyuz spacecraft were used to carry cosmonauts to and from Salyut and later Mir Soviet space stations, and are now used for transport to and from the International Space Station (ISS). At least one Soyuz spacecraft is docked to ISS at all times for use as an escape craft in the event of an emergency.
The Soyuz spacecraft is intended to be replaced by the six-person Prospective Piloted Transport System...
Re-entry procedure
The Soyuz uses a method similar to the Apollo to deorbit itself. The spacecraft is turned engine-forward and the main engine is fired for deorbiting fully 180° ahead of its planned landing site. This requires the least propellant for re-entry, the spacecraft traveling on an elliptical Hohmann orbit to a point where it will be low enough in the atmosphere to re-enter.
Early Soyuz spacecraft would then have the service and orbital modules detach simultaneously from the reentry module. As they are connected by tubing and electrical cables to the reentry module, this would aid in their separation and avoid having the descent module alter its orientation. Later Soyuz spacecraft detached the orbital module before firing the main engine, which saved propellant. Since the Soyuz TM-5 landing issue, the orbital module is once again detached only after the re-enter firing, which led to (but did not cause) emergency situations of Soyuz TMA-10 and TMA-11. The orbital module cannot remain in orbit as an addition to a space station, as the airlock hatch between the orbital and reentry modules is a part of reentry module, and the orbital module therefore depressurizes after separation.
Re-entry firing is usually done on the "dawn" side of the earth, so that the spacecraft can be seen by recovery helicopters as it descends in the evening twilight, illuminated by the sun when it is above the shadow of the Earth. The Soyuz craft is designed to come down on land, usually somewhere in the deserts of Kazakhstan in central Asia. This is in contrast to early US manned missions which "splashed down" in the ocean...

New images taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft focus on mysterious bright, white spots in a crater on the dwarf planet, Ceres.
The spots “gleam with mystery” and it’s “anyone’s guess” what the spots could be, according to the NASA Dawn team.
People have been encouraged to vote in a poll with options including volcano, geyser, rock, ice or salt deposit.
The Dawn team have also noted that the rim of the Occator crater is “almost vertical in some places”, and rises steeply for almost two kilometres.
Dawn has provided the closest views of the crater with “better-defined” shapes of the spots, which scientists will use to research the spots.

“Dawn has transformed what was so recently a few bright dots into a complex and beautiful, gleaming landscape,” chief engineer and mission director Marc Rayman said.
“Soon, the scientific analysis will reveal the geological and chemical nature of this mysterious and mesmerizing extra-terrestrial scenery.”
The images were taken at an altitude of 1,470km during Dawn’s third 11-day cycle of mapping Ceres’ surface.
Dawn will map Ceres at total of six times over the next two months, with each mapping cycle requiring 14 orbits and allowing scientists to create stereo views and 3D maps.

WTF is happening on Ceres - NASA takes close-ups of Ceres’s strange white spots. Still can't explain them
Back in February, footage from NASA's Dawn spacecraft revealed something strange on the dwarf planet Ceres - two white patches reflecting brightly in the middle of a huge, dark crater.
The first assumption was that they were big patches of ice, but the wavelengths of light they're reflecting didn't quite match up. Dawn has since entered the orbit of Ceres and taken a whole lot more incredibly detailed images of the planet's fascinating surface. But each set is just triggering more questions than it can answer.
The largest object in the asteroid belt, Ceres is the original dwarf planet. But despite the fact that it was discovered more than 200 years ago, we still know very little about its origins and geology - which is why NASA sent Dawn to check things out.
The latest image captured by the spacecraft is three times more detailed than the last batch of photos sent back to Earth, and was taken from an altitude of less than 1,600 km from the dwarf planet's surface. You can see it in all its glory below, and high res here:
But despite the incredible detail, they image doesn't help to explain the two white patches, which are found inside Ceres' 4-km-deep Occator crater, other than to confirm that they don't fit the pattern of ice. The data so far show that the amount of light the spots are reflecting is lower than would be expected for ice on the planet.
"The science team is continuing to evaluate the data and discuss theories about these bright spots at Occator," said Chris Russell, Dawn's principal investigator from the University of California, Los Angeles. "We are now comparing the spots with the reflective properties of salt, but we are still puzzled by their source. We look forward to new, higher-resolution data from the mission's next orbital phase."
Other options could be that it's some type of super-reflective rock layer that's been exposed in the crater, or the spots might even be the results of volcanic activity or a geyser. The scientists have so little to go on right now that they're even letting the public cast their vote on what the spots might be.
Dawn also managed to capture this colour-coded elevation map of the area, with the dark blue representing the lowest areas and the brown representing the highest.
But the appearance of these spots isn't the only weird thing on Ceres, with a strangely tall, cone-shaped mountain on the other side of the planet also confusing NASA scientists.
It's not the height of the mountain, which is an impressive 6 km tall, that's bothering them so much, but the fact that the land around the structure is completely flat. They also can't work out why one side of is streaked with light patches, while the other is dark.
"This mountain is among the tallest features we've seen on Ceres to date," said another Dawn scientist, Paul Schenk. "It's unusual that it's not associated with a crater. Why is it sitting in the middle of nowhere? We don't know yet, but we may find out with closer observations."
The reason researchers are so fascinated in all of this is because we have no understanding of the geological processes that have formed Ceres so far, and any clues could provide us with a lot of answers about the formation of our Solar System as a whole.
"Dawn has transformed what was so recently a few bright dots into a complex and beautiful, gleaming landscape," said Marc Rayman, Dawn's chief engineer and mission director. "Soon, the scientific analysis will reveal the geological and chemical nature of this mysterious and mesmerising extraterrestrial scenery."
Dawn is going to continue to get closer and closer to Ceres as the spacecraft remains in orbit, so we can expect more detailed images in the months to come. Hopefully some of those will provide us with some answers... or just some other really cool curiosities to marvel at. Either way, we're happy.
In the meantime, take a flyby tour over Ceres' oddities - and if you've got 3D glasses lying around, now is the time to use them.

This animation, made using images taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows Occator crater on Ceres, home to a collection of intriguing bright spots. The animation was generated using two components: images taken during Dawn's High Altitude Mapping Orbit (HAMO) phase, where it viewed the surface at a resolution of about 140 meters per pixel, and a shape model generated using images that were taken during Dawn's lower-resolution Survey phase. The image is draped over the shape model, which has been stretched by 1.5 times in the vertical direction to better illustrate the crater's topography. Elevations span a range of about 6 kilometers from the lowest places in Occator to the highest terrains surrounding the crater. The bright spots are much brighter than the rest of the surface, and tend to appear overexposed in most images. The image used here is a composite of two images of Occator: one using a short exposure that captures the detail in the bright spots, and one where the background surface is captured at normal exposure.

The image used here is a composite of two images of Occator: one using a short exposure that captures the detail in the bright spots, and one where the background surface is captured at normal exposure.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft provided the closest view yet of the Occator crater, located on the dwarf planet Ceres. The crater is home to some of Ceres' intriguing bright spots, which scientists have theorized could be anything from ice to salt deposits. NASA created the recently released image of the crater by combining two images: one of the properly exposed bright spots and one of the land around them captured at a normal exposure. Each was taken at 915 miles above the dwarf planet's surface, providing the closest glimpse yet of the crater, which measures 60 miles wide and two miles deep.
