Thanks for fixing the reference links! I did not know they were broken in such a way. My fault. :) --Marsbound2024 02:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Phobos-GruntEdit

What about Phobos-Grunt, a sample return mission to Phobos? - 84.250.25.157 (talk) 14:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

CategoryEdit

Please note Category:Sample return missions. Expand it if you can! (sdsds - talk) 16:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

AerogelEdit

I've labelled the "six times the speed of a rifle bullet" statement with a fact tag. What's the speed of a rifle bullet? Which rifle, which bullet? Different rifles have muzzle velocities varying by a factor three (see, for example, [1]) so this needs to be more specific. 150.203.35.113 (talk) 09:15, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

That fact tag has been removed by now. But it's worse. Not everybody is familiar with rifle bullets. I'm not and I hope to keep it that way. So simply giving a velocity in kilometres per second and not mentioning bullets at all seems better. Stardust (spacecraft) suggests it's about 6 km/s, but I can't find a very specific number. Adding a vague tag. PiusImpavidus (talk) 14:04, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

As it happens, I handled it before seeing this. Yes, NASA use various standards of English for various audiences. Perhaps our earlier editor got a version made for rural Americans my age, most of whom would be less familiar than I am with tens of km/sec. Jim.henderson (talk) 00:00, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Help needed on current plans for Mars sample return missionsEdit

The current situation of future plans for Mars sample return missions (such as Mars sample return mission, Mars Exploration Joint Initiative, Aurora programme, Mars-Grunt, Marco Polo (spacecraft) and MarcoPolo-R) needs to be updated, especially what current plans on contributions and time-tables are from NASA, ESA and Roskomos. If anybody can contribute with references, it would be most welcome. Tony Mach (talk) 09:07, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
