NASA Ames Robots Explore Lava Flow In Simulated Lunar Mission Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 15, 2009
NASA robots soon will begin exploring the dusty, rocky terrain of a barren desert on Earth much like the moon. Scientists and engineers will study the images and information the robots gather to help plan where humans should venture next. To simulate robots scouting on the lunar surface before a human space crew arrives, the "K10 Red" and "K10 Black" robots developed at NASA Ames Research ... read moreInternational Study Could Aid Search For Life In The Universe
Orlando FL (SPX) Jun 15, 2009A lunar eclipse helped a group of international scientists take a snapshot of earth's chemical fingerprint, which could help to identify planets most similar to earth where life may be thriving. University of Central Florida Associate Professor Eduardo Martin was a member of the team that made the observation, which is published in the June 11 edition of Nature magazine. The team use ... more

Aerospace Assurance From Earth To The Moon
Madison WI (SPX) Jun 12, 2009Aerospace hardware, whether for jet engines, space station payloads or lunar surface components, has some of the most demanding requirements of any design application. To ensure proper verification and validation during operations, Orbital Technologies Corporation (ORBITEC) is now offering commercial in-house testing capabilities for systems, subsystems, and components. Led by ORBITEC's ... more Mapping The Surface Temperatures Of The Moon
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jun 12, 2009When NASA launches the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a yearlong unmanned mission to comprehensively map the entire moon, later this month, UCLA's David Paige will be leading its Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment, which will perform the first global survey of the temperature of the lunar surface as the spacecraft orbits some 31 miles above the moon. "The terrain on the far side of the ... more International Study Could Aid Search For Life In The Universe

Cassini Finds Titan's Clouds Hang On To Summer
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 04, 2009Cloud chasers studying Saturn's moon Titan say its clouds form and move much like those on Earth, but in a much slower, more lingering fashion. Their forecast for Titan's early autumn - warm and wetter. Scientists with NASA's Cassini mission have monitored Titan's atmosphere for three-and-a-half years, between July 2004 and December 2007, and observed more than 200 clouds. They found ... more NASA's Shuttle Program Hands Over Launch Pad To Constellation
