Vignette Helps NASA Make Giant Leap To The Moon And Beyond
Austin TX (SPX) Jun 11, 2007Vignette's Next-Generation Web solutions are helping NASA engineers and scientists connect and share information online, as the federal agency designs its next generation of space vehicles for the Constellation Program. The Constellation Program is responsible for developing crew exploration and launch vehicles that will send humans back to the moon and then to Mars. ... more Testing Technique For Gravitomagnetic Field Is Ineffective 
Columbia, MO (SPX) Jun 05, 2007Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has fascinated physicists and generated debate about the origin of the universe and the structure of objects like black holes and complex stars called quasars. A major focus has been on confirming the existence of the gravitomagnetic field, as well as gravitational waves. A physicist at the University of Missouri-Columbia recently argued in ... more A Climate Monitoring Station On The Moon 
Ann Arbor, MI (SPX) May 30, 2007Poets may see "a face of plaintive sweetness" or "a cheek like beryl stone" when they look at the moon, but Shaopeng Huang sees something else altogether: the ideal location for a network of observatories dedicated to studying climate change on Earth. Using data from an Apollo 15 experiment whose original intent was thwarted by unanticipated lunar surface conditions, the University of Michigan ... more Magnetic Field Uses Sound Waves To Ignite Solar Ring Of Fire 
Greenbelt MD (SPX) May 30, 2007Sound waves escaping the Sun's interior create fountains of hot gas that shape and power the chromosphere, a thin region of the sun's atmosphere which appears as a ruby red "ring of fire" around the moon during a total solar eclipse, according to research funded by NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF). These results were presented May 29, at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in ... more No Plans To Join NASA Lunar Program Says Russian Space Agency 
Washington (RIA Novosti) May 28, 2007Russia will not participate in joint lunar exploration with NASA, but will assist the U.S. with its shuttle program until 2015, a spokesman for the Russian space agency said. After U.S. President George W. Bush announced his Vision for Space Exploration in 2004, a plan for new manned lunar missions, the country's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) elaborated a program that ... more |

Beijing (AFP) May 20, 2007China aims to launch its first lunar orbiter later this year, part of a three-step plan it hopes will eventually see moon samples brought back to Earth, state media said Sunday. The launch of the Chang'e I, envisaged in the second half of 2007, would be a landmark for China's space programme, China's space agency chief Sun Laiyan was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency. "Th ... more STONEs in Space 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 11, 2007Can life travel from planet to planet? When a rocky world is hit by a meteorite, the impact can send pieces of the planetary surface out into space, and eventually these ejected rocks can travel to other planets in the solar system. Here on Earth we have collected many meteorites that originated from the moon and from Mars, and there are also likely rocks from Earth sitting on the surfaces of ou ... more China Approves Five-Year Space Development plan 
Beijing (Xinhua) May 14, 2007China's State Council, or the cabinet, approved the country's 11th five-year plan on space development, in principle, at a conference on Thursday last week. Addressing the conference, Chinese Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan stressed that the 11th five-year period (2006-2010) is key to China's space development. China should give priority to a manned space flight, lunar exploration, new launch veh ... more New Breed of Architects Specializes In Off-Planet Living 
Burbank, CA (PRWEB) April 30, 2007Candy Feuer has developed a new design for a greenhouse on Mars. Her fellow students are working on lunar outposts and space exploration transfer vehicles as well as designs for other structures that would be habitable on the Martian surface. While most of their counterparts specialize in houses, apartments and skyscrapers, these students deal with the most extreme environments. And they a ... more |

Burbank, CA (SPX) Apr 17, 200737 Martian rocks that somehow reached our planet over the eons may be key to telling us how Mars was formed, and may also tell us the best place to land when we visit the Red Planet. In their latest online documentary, "The Surface of Mars," The Futures Channel takes students to the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas to meet experimental petrologist Dr. Molly McCanta. She stud ... more Earth Magnetic Field A Hazard For Lunar Astronauts 
Preston UK (SPX) Apr 17, 2007For four days every month the Moon passes through the magnetic field of the Earth and parts of the lunar surface are charged with static electricity. Next week Dr Mike Hapgood of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory will present a model at the Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting in Preston, which suggests that this charging may increase after the year 2012 and become an important ... more Rochester Triumphs In NASA Great Moonbuggy Race 
Huntsville AL (SPX) Apr 17, 2007Speeding across a simulated lunar surface, the Rochester Institute of Technology of Rochester, N.Y., rumbled to victory in the college division of NASA's 14th annual Great Moonbuggy Race in Huntsville, Ala. Finishing with the fastest time in a field of 22 college teams from across the continental United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, they raced their original moonbuggy design at the U.S. ... more United Space Alliance Brings New Innovations to Future Space Operations 
Colorado Springs CO (SPX) Apr 10, 2007Transitioning essential knowledge and experience from the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station to the Constellation Program will be one of the keys to the efficiency, reliability, safety and overall success of the new program. At last year's National Space Symposium, United Space Alliance (USA) introduced its revolutionary Questus software suite as the first-ever set of integrated a ... more
