Science Trumps Politics -- at Least in Theory

In this Q&A with Nina Fedoroff, science adviser to the US secretary of state, topics run from genetically modified food to the need for scientific advocacy in government. Fedoroff's take on GM food is simple: "There’s almost no food that isn’t genetically modified. Genetic modification is the basis of all evolution." As for science in government, Fedoroff makes the case that scientific alliances can succeed where other kinds of diplomacy fail -- "because science is more collaborative than other types of endeavors," she tells the New York Times. "It aspires to more democratic principles than many political systems because we have an external reference."

MSSS Delivers First Science Instrument to JPL for 2009 Mars Rover Mission Payload

Malin Space Science Systems, Inc. (MSSS), has delivered the first of four science cameras it is developing for the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory 2009 Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover mission. This camera, the Mars Descent Imager is designed to provide a sequence of hundreds of 2 Megapixel color images of the martian surface during the rover's descent about two years from now. MARDI was transported to JPL last week to participate in a contamination measurement test. That test was completed satisfactorily on 10 July, and instrument functionality was verified in imaging testing the following day (Figure 2). The instrument will shortly be integrated with the MSL rover avionics (computer) for testing, and will be integrated with the rover mechanical systems within the month.
