The admin guide is also included with Scoop, in the doc/ directory. If you have new feature ideas or requests, or descriptions of something you're working on for Scoop, this site is the place to submit them. You can also search this site for information. If you want to get your hands dirty, or have any questions about developing for Scoop, there is also the Scoop-dev list. You can browse the archives, or join the list.

Clays in Pacific lavas challenge wet early Mars idea
By mobile4lte , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Tue Sep 11, 2012 at 04:34:35 AM PST
A study of rocks at an old A-bomb test site in the Pacific has led a team of scientists to conclude that early Mars was not so warm and wet as many argue. The rocks at Mururoa Atoll in French Polynesia contain clay minerals that look like those seen on the Red Planet. But whereas the Martian clays are taken to be the products of weathering of rocks by liquid water, the atoll's clays have a very different origin. These were precipitated directly from water-rich molten rock as it cooled. The research is published in Nature Geoscience by Prof Alain Meunier from the University of Poitiers, France, and colleagues. It is interesting because it strikes at the heart of the notion that the Red Planet was awash with water, perhaps at its surface, more than 3.75 billion years ago - an idea that has been put forward to explain the great abundance of some clay deposits observed from orbit by satellites. However, the process of clay production at Mururoa, if replicated and widespread on early Mars, would remove the need for such large volumes of water, and with it possibly a more benign environment for life to establish itself on the planet. "Mars was not as warm and wet in its earliest time as some have suggested. I do not believe in an early ocean on Mars," Prof Meunier told BBC News. But [the Mururoa process] explains only the earliest generation of clays on Mars, in the early Noachian period. In later periods, liquid water has existed on Mars' surface; that is undoubtedly the case." Free space The atoll was the site of French nuclear testing from the 1960s to the 1990s. A lot of rock was drilled from the island as part of that programme and is now available for study. Prof Meunier's team shows that clays in these volcanic samples were formed directly in place, in the spaces that sometimes arise between cooling rock crystals. They were not the product of later alteration of the rock through long-term contact with water - the more familiar route to these minerals. "Inside the basaltic rock as the lava is cooling, the crystals are separated sometimes by free spaces in which the residual fluids are concentrated," Prof Meunier explained. "These fluids contain all the components that have not been consumed in the high-temperature crystals like pyroxene, olivine and plagioclase; and among these components, of course, there is water. "As the temperature decreases, these fluids are supersaturated with a lot of phases that consume water and all the remaining elements. And this favours the formation of clay minerals." What is more, when the team examined the infrared reflectance of the Mururoan lavas, they found the signal to be very similar to the observational data obtained by the Mars orbiters that have mapped the Red Planet's clay deposits. Below the surface Prof John Mustard, of Brown University, Rhodes Island, US, has studied the satellite clay data extensively since its first acquisition in 2005. He said the new research was a welcome addition to the debate about the early environmental conditions on the planet but that he was not convinced the Mururoan lavas could explain the great abundance of clays seen in some regions of the Red Planet. "The question is: how do you generate thick sequences of this stuff? Their model cannot, I don't think, explain a Mawrth Vallis and other thick sections where we can quite clearly demonstrate many hundreds of metres, if not more, of clay formation. Mawrth Vallis has far too much clay to be produced by this process. The amount of clays produced by this degassing process is a relatively small amount." Prof Mustard himself prefers the idea that many of the clays were produced sub-surface at Mars, where warm water could interact with rocks for long periods - such as in hydrothermal systems. Only later were these buried clays excavated into view by impacts or through the erosion of overlying ground by short-lived bursts of flowing surface water. To maintain stable water on the surface of the planet for extended durations would have needed a thick atmosphere - something which is quite hard to reproduce in the climate models of early Mars, explained Prof Mustard. "We make the clear argument that a good chunk of the clays were subsurface," he told BBC News. "I think it's abundantly clear that surface hydrologic systems were probably responsible for a subset of the clay occurrences that we see - but not the dominance. There's very good evidence for there having been interconnected rivers and lakes, but they're very immature. This fluvial renaissance of Mars was very short-lived." The debate is about to get lot more interesting thanks to the imminent first direct measurements of clay minerals on Mars. Nasa has two operational rovers on the planet currently, and both should encounter the deposits. The Opportunity vehicle is driving around the rim of a big crater known as Endeavour where clays have been sighted from orbit. And the Curiosity robot, which has just landed in Gale Crater, will be commanded to drive to the base of a mountain where, again, clays have been detected by satellite. Remark:the news come from BBC.

Mars rover Curiosity flexes its arm
By mobile4lte , Section Dev Notes [] Posted on Sun Sep 09, 2012 at 09:43:27 PM PST
A month after it landed on Mars, NASA's Curiosity rover extended its robotic arm this week and began a set of exercises that will test the arm's range of motion before it begins deploying the sampling and drilling tools attached to the complex instrument. NASA scientists will spend six to 10 days while the rover is parked manipulating the 2.1-metre arm into various positions that it will need to be in when employing its various analytical instruments. "These activities are important to get a better understanding for how the arm functions after the long cruise to Mars and in the different temperature and gravity of Mars, compared to earlier testing on Earth," Daniel Limonadi, lead systems engineer for Curiosity's surface sampling and science system, said in a media release. Exercises delayed The rover was to begin the arm exercises Thursday, but they were aborted after a temperature reading on the arm sent a caution signal; they started Friday instead. The exercises are intended to test out how the arm will scoop up soil, drill into rocks and place samples into its analytical instruments. "We're still learning how to use the rover," said Joy Crisp, deputy project scientist for the Mars Science Laboratory Project, which built and operates Curiosity from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "It's such a complex machine -- the learning curve is steep." NASA gave reporters an update on the Curiosity mission on Thursday, saying that since landing inside Mars's Gale crater on Aug. 5 the rover has driven a total of 109 metres, more than the length of a football field. The next stop in its two-year stay on the planet will be a rock formation called Glenelg, but it will take the rover several weeks to get there. Curiosity takes a whiff of Martian air NASA said the rover has taken its first gulps of Martian air using an instrument called the Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, which takes up more than half the payload of science instruments aboard the rover. SAM is actually three separate instruments: a mass spectrometer, a gas chromatograph and a tunable laser spectrometer. These sample and analyze the Martian atmosphere, measuring the abundance of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen, which will give scientists an indication of whether Mars may have at some point supported microbial life. Scientists will be looking in particular for signs of methane, a short-lived gas that has been spotted by satellites orbiting Mars and by telescopes on Earth. If present, it will indicate there is some replenishing source of it on Mars. The air samples Curiosity has begun taking are the first tests of Mars's atmospheric chemistry since the Viking Mars landers explored the planet in the 1970s. NASA also released new colour pictures of the impact marks left by the rover's descent stage apparatus during landing and tracks the rover made on one of its first drives. The images were taken by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which observes Mars from orbit. (4 comments) Comment >>
