NASA To Check For Unlikely Winter Survival Of Mars LanderPasadena CA (JPL) Jan 12, 2010 Beginning Jan. 18, NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter will listen for possible, though improbable, radio transmissions from the Phoenix Mars Lander, which completed five months of studying an arctic Martian site in November 2008. The solar-powered lander operated two months longer than its three-month prime mission during summer on northern Mars before the seasonal ebb of sunshine ended its work. ... read more |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 12, 2010Blobs of warm ice that periodically rise to the surface and churn the icy crust on Saturn's moon Enceladus explain the quirky heat behavior and intriguing surface of the moon's south polar region, according to a new paper using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. "Cassini appears to have caught Enceladus in the middle of a burp," said Francis Nimmo, a planetary scientist at the University ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 12, 2010Some might say it's as plain as the nose on your face. But detecting toxic or dangerous chemicals in the microgravity environment of space takes a little extra "sniffing." That's why ENose, or Electronic Nose, spent 10 months on the International Space Station testing whether the technology was useful to detect possible hazardous vapors. Managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in ... more 
Rolla MO (SPX) Jan 12, 2010By the time Curiosity, the next Mars Rover, launches in 2011, scientists on Earth will know more about the potential for life on Mars because of microorganisms that live in Australian lakes.

Huntsville AL (SPX) Jan 11, 2010Most astronomers wouldn't dream of opening their observatory's doors in 100 mph winds. Yet NASA's new SOFIA telescope recently flew in an airplane at 250 mph with doors wide open. On Dec. 18th, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), flew in a modified Boeing 747 at 15,000 feet for one hour and 19 minutes. For two minutes of that time, the door by the telescope was ... more  
Paris, France (ESA) Jan 11, 2010Space technologies have led to a number of inventions that benefit the environment and save energy. Satellite-based systems are reducing vehicles' carbon dioxide emissions, remote-sensing technology is making wind turbines more efficient, and information from weather satellites is helping solar cells to produce more energy. These are just some examples of how spin-offs from space technolog ... more |
