UK Scientists All Set For New Year Encounter With A Comet 
London - Dec 17, 2003On January 2nd 2004 the NASA space mission, Stardust, will fly through comet Wild 2, capturing interstellar particles and dust and returning them to Earth in 2006. Space scientists from the Open University and University of Kent have developed one of the instruments which will help tell us more about comets and the evolution of our own solar system and, critical for Stardust, its survival in the close fly-by of the comet. GALEX Captures Andromeda Galaxy Like Never Before
The most sensitive and comprehensive ultraviolet image ever taken of the Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest large neighbor galaxy, has been captured by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer. The image is one of several being released to the public as part of the mission's first collection of pictures. |
Beagle 2 Landing Site In 3D 
London - Dec 17, 2003As the time for Beagle 2 separation approaches a 3D representation of the landing site is available for download. Keyhole is a revolutionary software product that enables computer users to interact with a 3D model of a planet directly on the own PC. Beagle 2 Points The Way For UK In Space 
London - Dec 17, 2003Science Minister Lord Sainsbury unveiled Tuesday the Government's new three-year space strategy, citing the Beagle 2 Mars lander as a benchmark for the UK's ambitions in space. |
E-10A Battle Management "Flight" Tests Cruise-Missile Defense
Melbourne, Fla. - Dec 17, 2003A Northrop Grumman-led team has reached a significant milestone in refining its concept for developing and deploying the battle management command and control (BMC2) subsystem for the U.S. Air Force's E-10A multi-sensor command and control aircraft. Machine-To-Machine Network Enables Collaborative Battle Management 
Melbourne, Fla - Dec 17, 2003Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force have implemented a new way for airborne weapons systems to exchange data with existing ground-based communication networks and other airborne platforms using Internet protocols (IP), the same basic computer language that consumers use to exchange e-mail, text files and images on the Internet. |
Dark Energy Gets A Data Dump From XMM
Paris - Dec 17, 2003ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, has returned tantalising new data about the nature of the Universe. In a survey of distant clusters of galaxies, XMM-Newton has acquired data that some scientists suggest can be interpreted to mean that the 'dark energy' which most astronomers now believe dominates the Universe simply does not exist? Biggest Virtual Supercomputer Given The Go-Ahead 
London - Dec 17, 2003The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council has today announced 16 million pounds will be allocated to helping create a massive computing Grid. This "local" Grid, known as GridPP2 will form part of a much larger European Grid, which CERN will bring online in in 2007 when its opens the Large Hadron Collider. |

Radioactive Potassium May Be Major Heat Source In Earth's Core 
Berkeley - Dec 17, 2003Radioactive potassium, common enough on Earth to make potassium-rich bananas one of the "hottest" foods around, appears also to be a substantial source of heat in the Earth's core, according to recent experiments by University of California, Berkeley, geophysicists. NASA Scientists Discover Spring Thaw Makes A Difference 
Pasadena - Dec 11, 2003Using a suite of microwave remote sensing instruments aboard satellites, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Montana, Missoula, have observed a recent trend of earlier thawing across the northern high latitudes. |
Harris Selected By Boeing For Small Diameter Bomb Anti-Jam GPS Electronics
Melbourne, Fla - Dec 17, 2003Harris Corporation has been selected by The Boeing Company, St. Louis, Missouri, to provide anti-jam GPS (AJ GPS) electronics for the U.S. Air Force's Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). Harris' initial two-year contract includes design and development work. Sony Introduces the Industry's First 1-Chip CMOS GPS LSI 
San Diego - Dec 17, 2003Sony Electronics announced Monday the industry's first single-chip CMOS Global Positioning System (GPS) LSI that incorporates a built-in RF circuit in an ultra-miniature design. Designed independently by Sony, the CXD2951 offers high sensitivity and minimal power consumption. |
