DELTA Concludes With Soyuz Landing
Paris (ESA) Apr 30, 2004The 11-day DELTA mission to the Space Station came to a successful conclusion when the Soyuz TMA-3 command module, carrying Dutch ESA astronaut Andr� Kuipers and the ISS Expedition 8 crew, touched down early this morning near the town of Arkalyk in Kazakhstan at 07:12 local time (00:12 UTC) after a return flight of just over three hours. |
Scientists Announce Cosmic Ray Theory Breakthrough
Los Alamos (SPX) Apr 30, 2004University of California scientists working at Los Alamos National Laboratory have proposed a new theory to explain the movement of vast energy fields in giant radio galaxies (GRGs). The theory could be the basis for a whole new understanding of the ways in which cosmic rays - and their signature radio waves - propagate and travel through intergalactic space. |
Mars Express Radar Deployment Postponed
Paris (ESA) Apr 30, 2004The MARSIS team has advised ESA to delay the deployment of the MARSIS radar instrument on board Mars Express, scheduled for this week. |
Martian Water Science Early 2004
Mountain View CA - Apr 27, 2004In part two of our report on NASA's Third Astrobiology Science Conference, we detour to a press conference held separately the last day of the conference that revealed the Gusev landing site of the first MER rover, "Spirit" was at last starting to show evidence of an aqueous past after all. Relating this announcement to specific papers presented at the conference, Bruce Moomaw explains how the story of Mars is getting much more complicated. |
Icing: A Chilling Subject
Cleveland (SPX) Apr 29, 2004Ice. It's great to cool beverages with and skate on, but it's often hazardous to aircraft. Over the years NASA has worked to improve aircraft safety by increasing technical and in-flight awareness about icing conditions. Invasion Of The Traffic Cones 
London - Apr 29, 2004It sounds like a driver's worst nightmare. Herds of traffic cones swarm onto a highway, closing down lanes and slowing the traffic. But it's no bad dream. |
A Conveyor Belt For The Nano-Age
San Francisco (SPX) Apr 29, 2004In a development that brings the promise of mass production to nanoscale devices, scientists have transformed carbon nanotubes into conveyor belts capable of ferrying atom-sized particles to microscopic worksites. DNA Computer Could Fight Cancer 
New York (UPI) Apr 29, 2004Biological molecules that react to DNA hold the promise to diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer by operating like doctors inside the body, say Israeli scientists. |
Satellites To Be Launched For Better Disaster Management
Beijing (SPX) Apr 30, 2004A high-ranking Chinese space official Tuesday said the nation will launch a cluster of small satellites to allow better disaster management from space. New NASA Technology Helps Forecasters In Severe Weather Season 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Apr 29, 2004NASA is providing new technology and satellite data to help forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration create the best possible forecasts of severe springtime weather. Alabama Cooks Up A Storm With Severe Weather Science 
Huntsville (SPX) Apr 29, 2004Scientists are using information gleaned from NASA satellites, aircraft and field research to better understand dynamics behind tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes and other destructive forces of nature. |
Quantum Computers Are A Quantum Leap Closer, Say Purdue Physicists
West Lafayette - Apr 30, 2004A new breed of faster, more powerful computers based on quantum mechanics may be a step closer to reality, report scientists from Purdue and Duke universities. Space Technology Competes On Europe's Racetracks Again 
Paris (ESA) Apr 29, 2004As the 2004 motor-racing season gets underway, technology from Europe's satellites and launchers is being put to the test on Europe's race tracks. Embedded Memory About To Get A Boost With MRAM 
Palo Alto CA - Apr 27, 2004The launch of magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) technology is expected to revolutionize the embedded memory market. It combines the high storage and low cost of dynamic RAM, high speed of static RAM and the non-volatility of flash memory to provide a single and unified memory solution. |
