Spin Your Thesis! 2010 Call For Proposals Paris, France (ESA) Nov 03, 2009 
ESA is offering European students the opportunity to conduct hypergravity experiments, with a call for proposals for the 2010 'Spin Your Thesis!' programme. This programme will enable university students to carry out experiments in hypergravity by using the Large Diameter Centrifuge (LDC) in ESTEC, the Netherlands. The LDC allows samples to be exposed to acceleration forces of 1-20 ... read moreGOCE Delivering Data For Best Gravity Map Ever 
Paris, France (ESA) Oct 01, 2009Following the launch and in-orbit testing of the most sophisticated gravity mission ever built, ESA's GOCE satellite is now in 'measurement mode', mapping tiny variations in Earth's gravity in unprecedented detail. The 'Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer' (GOCE) satellite was launched on 17 March from northern Russia. The data now being received will lead to a better ... more

Precise Radio Measurements Advance Gravitational Physics
Columbia MO (SPX) Sep 02, 2009Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Suns gravity, and their technique promises a major contribution to a frontier area of basic physics. "Measuring the curvature of space caused by gravity is one of the most sensitive ways to learn how Einsteins theory ... more New Look At Gravity Data Sheds Light On Ocean And Climate 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Aug 28, 2009A discovery about the moon made in the 1960s is helping researchers unlock secrets about Earth's ocean today. By applying a method of calculating gravity that was first developed for the moon to data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, known as Grace, JPL researchers have found a way to measure the pressure at the bottom of the ocean. Just as knowing atmospheric pressure a ... more UK Technology To Boost Search For Gravitational Waves 
London UK (SPX) Aug 20, 2009UK scientists are helping us edge ever closer to finding the mysterious, theorized ripples in the fabric of space-time (known as gravitational waves) with the production of 25 new assemblies for the LIGO facility - a network of detectors designed to search for these elusive waves. Funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), LIGO also allows us to look inside the most violent events ... more Texas State Students Perform Microgravity Research With NASA 
San Marcos TX (SPX) Jul 28, 2009Seven members of the Texas State University-San Marcos Chemistry Club flew an electrochemistry experiment aboard the NASA microgravity aircraft as part of NASA's Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program in June. With more than 60 applicants from universities all over the nation, Texas State was one of 13 schools selected to fly. The competition accommodates up to 72 teams per ... more |

Einstein@Home Effort Launched To Search For New Pulsars
Milwaukee WI (SPX) Mar 25, 2009Einstein@Home, based at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) and the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Germany, is one of the world's largest public volunteer distributed computing projects. More than 200,000 people have signed up for the project and donated time on their computers to search gravitational wave data for signals from unknown pulsars. Today, Prof. Bruce Allen, Direc ... more GOCE Completes Early Orbit Phase 
Paris, France (ESA) Mar 23, 2009ESA's GOCE satellite was formally declared ready for work at 01:00 CET on 20 March. During the critical Launch and Early Orbit Phase beginning with separation from its booster on 17 March, GOCE was checked out to confirm that all of its control systems are operating normally. The end of the Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) came overnight after GOCE was switched to Fine Pointing Mode. Th ... more Successful Launch For GOCE 
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Mar 20, 2009At 15:21 CET on 17 March 2009, the new environmental satellite GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) was successfully launched into Earth orbit from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia. The Rockot launch vehicle brought the satellite into a near-polar orbit with an inclination of 96.5 degrees at an altitude of 260 kilometres. From this orbit, GOCE will map ... more GOCE: Critical Operations Ongoing 
Paris, France (ESA) Mar 20, 2009After liftoff 17 March, ESA's GOCE spacecraft is performing very well, having achieved an extremely accurate injection altitude of 283.5 km, just 1.5 km lower than planned. The Mission Control Team is now working round-the-clock shifts to implement a series of critical check-out procedures. The Mission Control Team at ESOC, ESA's Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, are now condu ... more |
