Pasadena - Jan 30, 2003Nanoscientists have created a device that vibrates a billion times per second. The 1 GHz device further increases the likelihood that tiny mechanical devices working at the quantum level can someday supplement electronic devices in many cases. Reporting in the Jan 30 issue of Nature, professor Michael Roukes and his colleagues from Caltech and Case Western Reserve University demonstrate that the tiny mechanism operates at microwave frequencies. |

Earth's Ecology and Space Nuclear Energy Can Coexist
Friendswood - Jan 30, 2003On the issue of space exploration, nuclear power and their interaction is not simple to define, analyze or resolve. As with all single-issue political discussions, the facts are hard to agree on, misstatements of facts are common and there are many opinions masquerading as facts that need to be identified writes Paul March in our continuing series on nuclear space technology. Using an Earth Wind Tunnel to Test a Parachute Bound for Mars 
Los Angeles - Jan 30, 2003In May and June of this year, NASA will launch two Mars Exploration Rover (MER) spacecraft to the Red Planet. The process of getting these rovers ready for launch involves a complicated series of tests, trials and tribulations - all designed to insure a successful mission. Light That Candle We've Got Work To Do 
Huntsville - Jan 30, 2003Waiting inside his Mercury capsule for the command that would start the countdown and make him the first American in space, Alan Shepard yelled impatiently, "Let's light this candle!" Those words may turn out to be more prophetic than Shepard intended. Since 2001, NASA's Ames Research Center has been testing a new rocket fuel made from--believe it or not--candle wax. ILS Investigation Panel Releases Results of Initial Review 
Mclean - Jan 30, 2003The Failure Review Oversight Board convened by International Launch Services (ILS) has completed its initial review of an investigation into a failed Russian rocket launch blamed on a Block DM upper stage. Space Imaging Offers Online Shopping Cart At Last

Let's Weaponize Space
Scottsdale - Jan 30, 2003Efforts to ban space-based weaponry, by international treaty and American legislation, are directly harmful to space development. Practical, effective means of defending space-based assets can ensure the growth of infrastructure and enable the establishment of human settlements in space. Space advocates should join in opposing overbroad efforts to prevent space weaponization writes John Carter McKnight in his latest Spacefaring Web. Analog Detection Of Concealed Weapons of Mass Destruction 
Palm Beach - Jan 30, 2003If Iraq has weapons of mass destruction well concealed, United Nations weapons inspectors may face great difficulty in finding them. But there is a way to determine where these weapons are, even if they're concealed and even if Iraq does not cooperate, according to Richard R. Sills, a computer scientist from New York and Palm Beach who has patented an "Analog Processing System" (APS) which re-analyzes the visual data coming from observation satellites through the process of "spectrometry." Boeing Delta II Lifts Air Force Satellites into Action
