NASA Wraps Up Genesis Recovery

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the data-recovery dept.

linuxwrangler writes "NASA scientists are wrapping up the recovery of the Genesis Project. Eileen Stansbery of the Johnson Space Center, said the crash, 'will make the analysis difficult but not impossible...There is nothing that is a total loss,' which is truly good news. The JPL has some nice pictures and video of the recovered bits."

    Helicopters or airplanes of some sort were used to recover the film canisters from spy satellites during the cold war in exactly the same way. It's not like its never been done before. Of course, it's hard to grab onto the parachute when the parachute doesn't even deploy.
