 Houston TX (SPX) May 21, 2009 
Unlike other Space Flight Simulation studies which mimic micro gravity by placing subjects in a bed with their heads inclined six degrees lower than their feet, The Lunar Analog study is a 9.5 degree head up study. Physics determines the 9.5 degrees incline - at this angle, the gravity force through the subject's legs along the long axis is 1/6th of the subject's body weight. The stu ... read more 
Raleigh NC (SPX) May 20, 2009Alien creatures are the least of NASA's worries when it comes to moon travel. There are several potential threats to future missions - with space radiation at the top of the list. The surface of the moon is exposed to cosmic rays and solar flares - making radiation hard to stop with shielding. When these rays hit matter, they produce a dangerous spray of secondary particles which, when pen ... more

Washington (UPI) May 19, 2009 The U.S. space agency has produced a new book chronicling Apollo mission 7 through 17 using photographs selected by the astronauts. The book - "Apollo: Through the Eyes of the Astronauts" - was produced by NASA and Abrams Books. It will be published in June, in advance of the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's historic lunar landing, which occurred July 20, 1969. "Most Americans ... more 
Hunstville AL (SPX) May 19, 2009Have you ever wondered how you'd make your morning cup of java if you lived on another planet, or perhaps the moon? That steaming beverage would be a must on a cold lunar morning. But with rare sunlight, no coal or wood to burn, and no flowing water for hydro-electrical power, how would you make that cup of coffee, much less cook breakfast, heat your abode, and power the life support equipment and tools ... more 
Houston TX (SPX) May 18, 2009With Memorial Day just around the corner, NASA plans a spectacular aerial display May 20 of the newly designed parachute recovery system for its Ares I rocket. The centerpieces for the test are the three massive main parachutes - measuring 150 feet in diameter and weighing 1-ton each - the largest rocket parachute ever manufactured. The Ares I, the first launch vehicle in NASA's Constellat ... more 
Sydney, Australia (SPX) May 18, 2009The USA could lose a new "race to the Moon" with China, according to a space analyst. Dr Morris Jones, an Australian writer and space analyst, claims that America is losing its strategic lead in spaceflight. He claims that a rapidly advancing Chinese space program will soon have the capability to send Chinese astronauts to the Moon. In his latest book, "The New Moon Race" ... more |

Tucson, Arizona (AFP) April 15, 2009Astronauts' meals have come a long way from the freeze-dried powders and semi-liquid pastes of decades ago: now US scientists want to grow vegetables in mini-greenhouses on the Moon. Although space fare has steadily improved over time, a team of scientists says the best is yet to come. They look forward to when residents of future lunar or even Martian outposts can dine on luxuries such ... more 
New Delhi (XNA) Apr 16, 2009A radar imaging camera on board Indian lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1, has sent back some amazing images which will give scientists definite clues about the presence or absence of water on the Moon surface, according to a report by local tabloid Mail Today Friday. The camera, known as Mini- SAR, is one of the key payloads of the mission and has been developed by scientists from the United St ... more 
Houston TX (SPX) Apr 14, 2009NASA has chosen the material for a heat shield that will protect a new generation of space explorers when they return from the moon.
