Comet Cruiser Glimpses Earth
by Astrobiology MagazineMoffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 05, 2004 The banner image, taken by ESA's Rosetta comet-chaser spacecraft, shows the Earth-Moon system from a distance of 70 million kilometers (42 million miles). This is close to the maximum distance reached by the spacecraft so far this year. NASA Selects Jupiter Mission Candidate For Further Study 
San Antonio TX (SPX) Aug 05, 2004Two science instruments to be developed by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) are part of a proposal selected by NASA as a candidate for the next mission in the agency's New Frontiers Program. |
Spirit Climbs Higher
Pasadena CA (JPL) Aug 05, 2004NASA's Spirit rover has climbed higher into rocky hills on Mars, and its twin, Opportunity, has descended deeper into a crater, but both rovers, for the time being, are operating with some restrictions while team members diagnose unexpected behavior. |
Saturnian Shadow Looms Across Rings
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 03, 2004Two weeks after orbit insertion, Cassini glanced back at Saturn, taking in the entire planet and its expansive rings. Currently it is summer in Saturn's southern hemisphere. Dispute Over Life In Antarctic Lake 
Lake Vostok (SPX) Aug 05, 2004Controversy has erupted over Lake Vostok, one of Earth's last unexplored frontiers, which lies deep under the Antarctic ice. Last week a team of Russian and French scientists claimed the lake is sterile. But American scientists insist that it is a potential source of undiscovered life forms, and are worried that Russian plans to drill right through the ice will contaminate it. |
