    THE DAY IN SPACE
    ________________
    In today's space news from SpaceRef:

    -- No Ice at the Lunar Poles
    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13004

    "If there is ice at the poles, the only way left to test it is to go there directly and melt a small volume
    around the dust and look for water with a mass spectrometer," says Bruce Campbell of the Center
    for Earth and Planetary Studies at the Smithsonian Institution.

    -- ESA's first step towards Mars Sample Return
    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13003

    "As currently envisaged, the MSR will be a two-stage endeavour. First, a spacecraft that includes a
    return capsule will be launched in 2011 and inserted into orbit around Mars. Two years later, a
    second spacecraft carrying a Descent Module and a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) will be launched
    on a similar trajectory."

    -- Notice of Intent to Release a Solicitation for NASA Mars Science Laboratory Investigations
    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=10977

    "NASA's Office of Space Science intends to release an Announcement of Opportunity in March 2004
    timeframe to solicit proposals for Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission investigations for a space
    flight mission to be launched in December 2009."

    -- Not-Yet-Turned-On Star is Forming Jupiter-like Planet
    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=13008

    "University of Arizona astronomers have used a new technique called nulling interferometry to
    probe a dust disk around a young nearby star for the first time. They not only confirmed that the
    young star does have a protoplanetary disk -- the stuff from which solar systems are born -- but
    discovered a gap in the disk, which is strong evidence of a forming planet."

    -- Bush Space Policy: Will America (Finally) Go Somewhere Once Again?
    http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=894

    "Word from knowledgeable sources would suggest that an overt Kennedy-esque commitment to
    send humans to Mars is simply not in the cards. Indeed, Mars (as an option) is not on the table at the
    present time."
