Résumé : |
Which is it - a lander, an orbiter, or a rover ? In the NASA of old, a vehicle programme wouldn't have "gotten off the ground" without an answer to that seemingly simple question. But in today's financially leaner, commercially oriented NASA, decisions can sometimes stay up in the air for longer. That is certainly the case with one project - the aptly named Common Bus - thanks to a combination of visionary thinking and creative engineering. The result is an innovative spacecraft system that can be almost all things to all people - a lander and an orbiter and maybe even a rover. |
