Exploring Mars With A New Breed Of Smart Robots
Huntsville - Sep 24, 2002
NASA's successful Sojouner Mars rover had the computing power of a cricket, more or less. Researchers say we'll have to do better than that if we're serious about exploring the solar system. In an article by NASA Space Science the emerging new technologies of smart robots that will precede and later accompany human space travelers are discussed in detail.
Discovery Supports Astronomers' Paradoxical Views Of The Universe
Chicago - Sep 23, 2002
The universe really is as surprising as scientists have come to suspect it is, according to a discovery that University of Chicago astrophysicists will announce Thursday, Sept. 19, at the COSMO-02 conference at Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum. The discovery, which astrophysicists have pursued with increasingly sensitive instruments for more than two decades, verifies the framework that supports modern cosmological theory.
The Science Of Spending Billions In Orbit
Los Angeles - Sept 21, 2002
The International Space Station is unlikely to be developed beyond a three person crew for the foreseeable future, forcing NASA to find new ways of getting more science out of the $60 billion science station. Meanwhile, the exact role of the station is under increasing scrutiny, with NASA considering a fundamental shift in focus from potential Earth applications to instead supporting manned exploration beyond Earth orbit.
Antarctic Forecast: Premature Break-Up Of Ozone Hole This Week
Paris (ESA) Sep 24, 2002
Based on satellite data from the European Space Agency, the national meteorological centre of the Netherlands predicts the Antarctic ozone hole will break apart this week, months earlier than usual.
European EO Bird Images Critical Tectonic Data
Paris (ESA) Sep 23, 2002
California scientists credit synthetic aperture radar imagery from the European Space Agency with making possible new ways to depict earthquake fault zones and uncovering unusual earthquake-related deformations.
ESA To Search For Life, But Not As We Know It
Paris (ESA) Sep 23, 2002
This week, astrobiologists are discussing what ESA's Huygens spaceprobe might discover when it parachutes to the surface of Saturn's mysterious moon, Titan, in 2005. Titan possesses a rich atmosphere of organic molecules, which Huygens will analyse.
Comparing Globalstar and Iridium
San Jose - Sep 23, 2002
In an independent technical study, Globalstar, the world's most widely-used handheld satellite phone service, has been shown to consistently outperform its main competitor in both voice and data transmission.
Galileo Receivers - In Search Of Signals To Ignore
Paris (ESA) Sep 19, 2002
Galileo, Europe's billion-euro satellite navigation system, will provide a guaranteed service when it becomes fully operational in about 2008. However, radio signals broadcast by other users in the Galileo frequency band could interfere with reception in some areas.
Building Nano Sized DNA Structures
Davis - Sep 19, 2002
A new method to make very small patterns of DNA molecules on surfaces has been developed by chemists at the University of California, Davis, and Wayne State University, Detroit. The technique could allow faster and more powerful devices for DNA sequencing, biological sensors and disease diagnosis.
ESA To Look For The Missing Link In Gravity
Paris - Sep 19, 2002
Although you can never be certain of predicting future developments in science, there is a good chance of a fundamental breakthrough in physics soon.

CDC Issues Updated Smallpox Response Plan
Atlanta - Sep 24, 2002
 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a plan that will enable health officials to vacinate the entire population of the US against Smallpox in seven days.
Mars Program Facing Collapse
Los Angeles - Sept 23, 2002
 Across the board the American and European Mars exploration program is facing difficult decisions as where to go from here. Earlier hopes of launching the first sample return mission are facing extended delays, while missions planned for the near term are facing critical engineering obstacles.
MDA To Help Define Canada's Mars Activities
Vancouver - Sep 23, 2002
 Allan Rock, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for the Canadian Space Agency, announced today the awarding of a $400,000 contract to MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) of Richmond, B.C., to support the Canadian Space Agency in defining Canada's contribution to European missions to Mars, and the NASA-led Mars Science Laboratory mission.
150-Ton Magnet Pulls World Toward New Energy Source
Cambridge - Sep 24, 2002
A 150-ton magnet developed in part by MIT engineers is pulling the world closer to nuclear fusion as a potential source of energy.
Distinguishing Human Pollution From Other Atmospheric Particles
Greenbelt - Sep 19, 2002
 Driven by precise new satellite measurements and sophisticated new computer models, a team of NASA researchers is now routinely producing the first global maps of fine aerosols that distinguish plumes of human-produced particulate pollution from natural aerosols.
