NASA s InSight Mars Lander Gets a Power Boost
The spacecraft successfully cleared some dust off its solar panels, helping to raise its energy and delay when it will need to switch off its science instruments.
The team behind NASA’s InSight Mars lander has come up with an innovative way to boost the spacecraft’s energy at a time when its power levels have been falling. The lander’s robotic arm trickled sand near one solar panel, helping the wind to carry off some of the panel’s dust. The result was a gain of about 30 watt-hours of energy per sol, or Martian day.
The European Commission says it is confident of eventually brokering a deal with Switzerland on Horizon Europe, but prolonged discussions about associate status and the breakdown of negotiations on EU-Switzerland relations has left Swiss universities bracing for potential exclusion from the €95.5 billion programme.
“There is a risk that we are again excluded from Horizon Europe,” said Joel Mesot, president of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.
Last week, the Swiss government ended seven long years of negotiations that aimed to bring a ragbag of bilateral agreements with the EU into an overarching agreement, covering free movement of persons and mutual recognition of industry standards, agricultural products, air transport and land transport.
