Mars spacecraft settles into orbit

The most powerful spacecraft ever sent to Mars has settled into a nearly circular orbit, a move that allows scientists to begin studying the planet in unprecedented detail.

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter fired its thrusters for 12 minutes on Monday to adjust to its final position six months after it arrived at the planet. Its altitude ranges between 150 kilometre to 315 kilometre above the surface.

"Getting to this point is a great achievement," said Dan Johnston, Deputy Mission Manager at the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $ 720 million mission.

Over the next several months, the orbiter will deploy its 33-foot antenna and remove a lens cap from one of its instruments.

It will begin collecting data in November, and scientists expect the resolution of those images to be nine times higher.

The unmanned orbiter safely slipped into orbit around Mars in March after a seven-month, 499-million-kilometre journey. It joined three other spacecraft currently flying around the planet and two rovers rolling across the surface.

Several weeks after entering orbit, a high-resolution camera aboard the spacecraft beamed back a test image showing the planet's southern highlands and cratered surface.

The orbiter spent the last half-year repeatedly dipping in to the upper atmosphere to shrink its orbit in a tricky process known as aerobraking. (AP)

Irwin's widow thanks fans for support

The American widow of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin on Wednesday thanked his fans for their kindness and support following the death of her "soul mate," and announced plans for his public memorial next week.

In her first public statement since Irwin's death, Terri Irwin said she "would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support and prayers for my family."

She said a public memorial service would be held next Wednesday on the grounds of the family owned Australia Zoo wildlife park in Queensland state.

Public service

A private service involving family and friends was held around a campfire at the park on Saturday. Irwin was fatally stabbed last Monday by a stingray's barb while filming a TV show off Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Although larger venues for the public event had been suggested, Terri Irwin said her husband would have wanted the service held at the 5,500-seat auditorium, called the "Crocoseum" he built himself.

"I realize that the Crocoseum has a limited capacity ... but I cannot see how a memorial service would work in any other place other than the Crocoseum, which he built here at the zoo and of which he was so proud," the statement said.

"I would therefore ask that everyone please bear with me in this wish and help me to make this happen."

Irwin's death sparked an outpouring of grief in Australia, with thousands of fans turning out to the 25-hectare (60-acre) Australia Zoo to lay flowers, candles, cards, stuffed animals and messages of support scrawled on the exuberant entertainer's trademark khaki shirts.

Live broadcast

Thousands more are expected to turn out for Irwin's memorial, for which free tickets will be distributed in advance, according to Peter Lang, a spokesperson for Australia Zoo.

Large television screens will be set up at venues in Queensland's capital, Brisbane, and the nearby Sunshine Coast, and the event will be broadcast live in Australia, the United States and Asia, the statement said.

Steve Irwin

A LIFE-long friend of Steve Irwin today told how the Crocodile Hunter pulled a deadly stingray barb from his own chest before losing consciousness and dying.

Friend John Stainton said he had viewed footage of his friend's last moments and the images were "shocking".

"It's a very hard thing to watch because you're actually witnessing somebody die ... and it's terrible," he said.

"It shows that Steve came over the top of the ray and the tail came up, and spiked him here (in the chest), and he pulled it out and the next minute he's gone.

"That was it. The cameraman had to shut down."

Irwin , 44, was filming a television program on the Great Barrier Reef off far north Queensland when the drama unfolded yesterday.

Mr Stainton said Irwin's wife, Terri, who rushed to Queensland from a holiday in Tasmania after being told of the tragedy, was putting on a brave face for the sake of her children.

"I think she's being very strong," he said in Cairns, where Irwin's body has been taken.

"I think for the children's sake she has to be strong because they're at a very impressionable age, as you know.

"Bindi's eight and little Robert's coming up to three, so he may not totally understand, but Bindi certainly does.

"She's very mindful of how she has to control her emotions to get the kids through it."

Terri Irwin remained at the family home on the Sunshine Coast with her children today and Mr Stainton said she had no plans to go to Cairns.

The loss of an Australian icon has made headlines around the world and sparked tributes from all walks of life, with NEWS.com.au readers among the many keen to pass on their condolences.

Irwin was killed while shooting footage for a new show he was doing with Bindi.

Terri would have the final say on whether film from the project was made public, the head of the US TV company that broadcasts his show said today.

Film of the death has already been handed to Queensland police preparing a report for the Coroner.

Billy Campbell, the president of Discovery Networks, which owns the Animal Planet channel, said talks on the footage would take place with Terri at a suitable time.

"It's still too early," Mr Campbell said. "We'll have to take a look at it."

Surf Lifesavers national marine stinger adviser Lisa-Ann Gershwin said there had only been 17 fatal stingray attacks worldwide. "I think it's just an extraordinary freak accident that has happened to his heart," she said.

"A lot of people will be afraid by this, but they need to keep in mind that this was a freak accident, it was a terrible tragedy but it is not common."

Dr Gershwin said stingray stings to the legs or arms were common and, while painful, were not normally considered dangerous. She said there were many different types of stingrays, with barbs on their tails up to 30cm long, and they poisoned victims with a range of toxins.
