Europe Keen To Join Russia In New Spaceship Project: Officials
Moscow (AFP) Dec 9, 2005European Space Agency (ESA) officials said Friday that European countries remained interested in a Russian plan to build a new crew-carrying spaceship known as the Clipper. SpaceX Plan For December 19 Launch 
Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands (SPX) Dec 12, 2005SpaceX is now now hoping to make its first orbital flight on December 19, the first day of a three-day window sandwiched between a missile defense test and the Christmas holidays, following a scrubbed launch attempt on November 26, reports Greg Zsidisin of AstroExpo.com. Sea Launch Awarded Spaceway 3 Contract By Hughes Network Systems 
Long Beach CA (SPX) Dec 12, 2005Sea Launch has received a firm contract award from Hughes Network Systems for the launch of the Spaceway 3 communications satellite, projected for early 2007. |
JAXA Unable To Restore Full-Scale Operations On A Deteriorating Hayabusa
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 12, 2005As has been reported, it is estimated that part of a series of attitude and orbit control commands to restore the Hayabusa from its safe-hold mode have not gone well, and the functions of its major systems, including its attitude and communication network, have significantly deteriorated. However, on Nov. 29, a beacon line through a low gain antenna was restored. Guangzhou Unveils New Satellite First-Aid Facilities 
Beijing (XNA) Dec 12, 2005The South China city Guangzhou is installing ambulances with satellite navigation technology and setting up a new state-of-the-art first-aid centre in a bid to improve medical facilities and response times. Moon Storms 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Dec 12, 2005Every lunar morning, when the sun first peeks over the dusty soil of the moon after two weeks of frigid lunar night, a strange storm stirs the surface. |
Pasadena CA (SPX) Dec 12, 2005Blood red and notoriously treacherous, the planet Mars is tantalizingly close to Earth yet infamously difficult to explore. Historically, only one in three missions to Mars has managed to reach the planet. For decades, the poor odds of successfully exploring Mars severely limited our ability to learn about our nearest planetary neighbor. The Methane Mystery 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Dec 12, 2005The methane giving an orange hue to Saturn's giant moon Titan likely comes from geologic processes in its interior according to measurements from the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer (GCMS), a Goddard Space Flight Center instrument aboard the European Space Agency's Huygens Probe. Team Maps Dark Matter In Startling Detail 
Baltimore MD (SPX) Dec 12, 2005Clues revealed by the recently sharpened view of the Hubble Space Telescope have allowed astronomers to map the location of invisible "dark matter" in unprecedented detail in two very young galaxy clusters. The team's results lend credence to the theory that the galaxies we can see form at the densest regions of "cosmic webs" of invisible dark matter, just as froth gathers on top of ocean waves. |
Successful Optical Data Relay Link Between OICETS And Artemis
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 12, 2005The first bi-directional optical link between KIRARI, the Japanese satellite officially called OICETS (which stands for "Optical Inter-orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite"), and ESA's Artemis was made on Friday. Physicists Store And Retrieve Single Photons Between Remote Memories 
Atlanta GA (SPX) Dec 12, 2005A series of publications in the journal Nature highlights the race among competing research groups toward the long-anticipated goal of quantum networking. In one of three papers published the journal's December 8 issue, a group of physicists from the Georgia Institute of Technology led by Professors Alex Kuzmich and Brian Kennedy describes the storage and retrieval of single photons transmitted between remote quantum memories composed of rubidium atoms. Magnet Lab Researcher Exploring Science Behind Commercial Applications Of Liquid Helium 
Tallahassee FL (SPX) Dec 12, 2005Picture a teaspoon of powdered sugar. As fine a substance as it is, there still are tremendous differences in the sizes of its individual particles. Some are so small, they move around randomly and are invisible to the naked eye. |
