Paris, France (ESA) Oct 19, 2009Direct communication between Earth and Mars can be strongly disturbed and even blocked by the Sun for weeks at a time, cutting off any future human mission to the Red Planet. An ESA engineer working with engineers in the UK may have found a solution using a new type of orbit combined with continuous-thrust ion propulsion. The European researchers studied a possible solution to a crucial ... more  
Nanyang, Japan (SPX) Oct 19, 2009In disaster-struck areas where terrestrial communications may be down, the deployment of rescue teams becomes extremely challenging. A team led by Assistant Professor Lee Yee Hui from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), aims to provide solutions to this problem by using high-speed satellite communication links. The NTU team is working ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 16, 2009NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer, or IBEX, spacecraft has made it possible for scientists to construct the first comprehensive sky map of our solar system and its location in the Milky Way galaxy. The new view will change the way researchers view and study the interaction between our galaxy and sun. The sky map was produced with data that two detectors on the spacecraft collected ... more |
