Three Hundred Sols Later And Spirit Still In For The CountPasadena CA (JPL) Nov 19, 2004 
Spirit remains in excellent health and has survived more than 300 martian days on the red planet. With the Sun still relatively low on the horizon in the early spring season on Mars, rover drivers are forced to seek driving routes that keep the rover and its solar panels tilted northward for energy reasons. |

Not Finding Life? Dig Deeper
Atacama desert, Chile (SPX) Nov 19, 2004A place so barren that NASA uses it as a model for the Martian environment, Chile's Atacama desert gets rain maybe once a decade. In 2003, scientists reported that the driest Atacama soils were sterile. Swift Launch Set For This Coming Saturday 
Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) Nov 19, 2004Swift, a unique multi-wavelength observatory dedicated to the study of gamma-ray burst science, is set to be launched this coming Saturday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, in Florida. Launch Time is between 12:10 - 1:10 p.m. EST |
LockMart's PAC-3 Missiles Intercept Two Targets During Flight Test
Dallas TX (SPX) Nov 19, 2004Lockheed Martin's Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile intercepted two missile targets today during Developmental Test/Operational Test-12, the most complex flight test scenario yet for PAC-3. RQ-5 Hunter UAVs Deployed For US Border 
San Diego CA (SPX) Nov 19, 2004Foreigners trying to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border into Arizona will now have to contend with two U.S. Army RQ-5 Hunter UAV's, equipped with electro optical infrared sensors, making reconnaissance flights along Arizona's border. |
China Launches Another Mini-Satellite
Beijing (XNA) Nov 19, 2004China has successfully launched another small scientific experimental satellite from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province, China Radio International reported on Thursday. Trace Gases Are Key To Halting Global Warming 
NYC NY (SPX) Nov 19, 2004Researchers say reductions of trace gases may allow stabilization of climate so that additional global warming would be less than 1� C, a level needed to maintain global coastlines. While CO2 emissions, an inherent product of fossil fuel use, must also be slowed, the required CO2 reduction is much more feasible if trace gases decrease. |
New IEDs Changing Urban Warfare
Arlington VA (SPX) Nov 19, 2004America's Office of Naval Research is exploring radically new approaches to designing metals that could lead to effective blast shielding for military units and civilians, alike. New Material That Contracts Gives Up Secrets To Physicists 
Santa Cruz CA (SPX) Nov 19, 2004Most solids expand when heated, a familiar phenomenon with many practical implications. Among the rare exceptions to this rule, the compound zirconium tungstate stands out by virtue of the enormous temperature range over which it exhibits so-called "negative thermal expansion." |
Riders On The Storm
Arlington VA (SPX) Nov 19, 2004While some are still cleaning up from the series of hurricanes that plowed through the Caribbean and southern United States this season, scientists supported by the Office of Naval Research are busily cleaning up valuable data collected during the storms. NASA Sats Aid Global Conservation 
Washington DC (SPX) Nov 19, 2004NASA and IUCN - The World Conservation Union, the world's largest environmental knowledge network, signed a joint declaration today in Bangkok, Thailand, to use NASA satellite data to help in worldwide conservation efforts. |
Shedding Light On A Microscopic World
Baton Rouge LA (SPX) Nov 19, 2004An LSU scientist has achieved national recognition for her research on the shortest pulses of light ever created - pulses that could reveal important new information about some of nature's tiniest building blocks. Laser Speeds Up Quest For Atomic Control 
Gaithersburg MD (SPX) Nov 19, 2004A team of researchers from JILA has developed an efficient, low-cost way to measure the energy levels of atoms in a gas with extremely high accuracy, and simultaneously detect and control transitions between the levels as fast as they occur. |
NASA Research Shows Wetland Changes Affect Florida Freezes
Lake Okeechobee FL(SPX) Nov 19, 2004Scientists funded by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), used Landsat 5 satellite data to look at changes in wetlands areas in south Florida, particularly south and west of Lake Okeechobee. Variety Couldn't Save The Dinosaurs 
Kingston RI (SPX) Nov 19, 2004When dinosaurs became extinct from the effects of a massive asteroid hitting Earth 65 million years ago, there were more varieties of the reptiles living than ever before, according to a new analysis of global fossil records by a team of researchers led by a University of Rhode Island paleontologist. |
