Moffett Field - Apr 07, 2003 
Scientists at NASA are developing a new planning and scheduling system for utilizing Earth observation satellites to acquire and integrate data from multiple complementary Earth-sensing instruments enabling them to build complex models of the Earth's ecosystem. It is estimated that 80 EO missions are planned over the next 15 years. |

Rare Nuclear Fusion Detected That Violates Charge SymmetryBloomington - Apr 07, 2003 Scientists at the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility in Bloomington have made the first unambiguous detection of a rare process, the fusion of two nuclei of heavy hydrogen to form a nucleus of helium and an uncharged pion. NASA Researchers Put New Spin on Einstein's Relativity Theory 
Pasadena - Apr 07, 2003Albert Einstein might be astonished to learn that NASA physicists have applied his relativity theory to a concept he introduced but later disliked namely that two particles that interact could maintain a connection even if separated by a vast distance. Researchers often refer to this connection as "entanglement." |
After Heated Debate, Russia Agrees To Fund ISS Flights
Moscow (AFP) Apr 7, 2003The International Space Station (ISS) requires an additional funding of 100 million dollars (94 million euros), a Russian space official told the Interfax news agency Sunday, while not specifying over what period this sum was needed. All countries taking part in the ISS program "agree that the program is underfinanced," added Sergei Gorbunov, a spokesman for the Russian space and aviation agency, Rosaviacosmos.

The Nuclear Heart of Planet Earth
Brisbane - Mar 31, 2003What would we find if we were to dig a hole all the way down to the centre of the Earth? According to high school science books we would discover a liquid iron alloy core and a smaller solid inner core at the center. For ten years, geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon has presented increasingly persuasive evidence that at the very centre of the Earth, within the inner core, there exists a five mile in diameter sphere of uranium which acts as a natural nuclear reactor. In this extended interview Wayne Smith talks with Dr Herndon about this theory and its implications for planetary science. |
