Successful First Test For Vega's Zefiro 9 Engine 
Paris, France(ESA) Dec 28, 2005Flames, smoke and a deafening noise accompanied the first firing test of Vega's Zefiro 9 third-stage solid rocket motor. A first examination of the data indicates that everything went well at the test carried out yesterday at Salto de Quirra in southeast Sardinia. First Galileo Satellite On Orbit To Demonstrate Key Technologies Paris, France (ESA) Dec 29, 2005 
The first Galileo demonstrator is in orbit, marking the very first step to full operability of Europe's new global navigation satellite system, under a partnership between ESA and the European Commission. |
New NASA Satellites Shipped To Launch Site Vandenberg AFB CA (SPX) Dec 28, 2005 
NASA 's Space Technology 5 (ST5) micro-satellites have arrived at the Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., launch site and are in the beginning stages of final launch preparation. ST5 is scheduled to launch in February 2006.An Explosion On The Moon 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Dec 28, 2005December 23, 2005: NASA scientists have observed an explosion on the moon. The blast, equal in energy to about 70 kg of TNT, occurred near the edge of Mare Imbrium (the Sea of Rains) on Nov. 7, 2005, when a 12-centimeter-wide meteoroid slammed into the ground traveling 27 km/s. Fast Track For Innovative Space Technologies 
Paris, France (ESA) Dec 28, 2005A novel astronaut training system, innovative planetary landing technology and hydrogen gas storage in 0.1-mm micro-spheres are just some of the innovative ideas presented during the first Innovation Triangle Initiative (ITI) Final Presentation Day (FPD) at ESTEC. |

Pasadena CA (JPL) Dec 28, 2005NASA's Stardust mission is nearing Earth after a 4.63 billion kilometer (2.88 billion mile) round-trip journey to return cometary and interstellar dust particles back to Earth. Scientists believe the cargo will help provide answers to fundamental questions about comets and the origins of the solar system. Galaxy's Neighboring Spiral Arm Is Closer Than Thought 
Boston MA (SPX) Dec 28, 2005The Perseus spiral arm - the nearest spiral arm in the Milky Way outside the Sun's orbit - lies only half as far from Earth as some previous studies had suggested. Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India

SMART 1 Uses New Imaging Technique In Lunar Orbit
Paris, France (ESA) Dec 28, 2005ESA's SMART-1 spacecraft has been surveying the Moon's surface in visible and near-infrared light using a new technique, never before tried in lunar orbit. Ultracold Test Produces Long-Sought Quantum Mix 
Houston TX (SPX) Dec 28, 2005In the bizarre and rule-bound world of quantum physics, every tiny spec of matter has something called "spin" - an intrinsic trait like eye color - that cannot be changed and which dictates, very specifically, what other bits of matter the spec can share quantum space with. When fermions, the most antisocial type of quantum particle, do get together, they pair up in a wondrous dance that enables such things as superconductivity. New Horizons Launch Vehicle Fully Assembled For Voyage To Pluto 
Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) Dec 27, 2005This past week was a busy one for New Horizons. Mission operations practices continued, as did engineering paperwork closeouts and various final tasks associated with mating the spacecraft and third stage to our Atlas launch vehicle. |
