Tempe AZ (SPX) Jun 19, 2009The Interdisciplinary A building on the Tempe campus looks rather average from the outside. There isn't anything that hints at the excitement, talent and innovation hidden behind its nondescript doors, and there is certainly no indication that the first steps of a great journey are taking place inside. For nearly two years, professor Mark Robinson and his team have called this building ... more 
San Antonio TX (SPX) Jun 19, 2009NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft has made the first observations of very fast hydrogen atoms coming from the Moon, following decades of speculation and searching for their existence. During spacecraft commissioning, the IBEX team turned on the IBEX-Hi instrument, built primarily by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 18, 2009NASA is scheduled to launch the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, an unmanned mission to comprehensively map the entire moon,. One of the instruments aboard, the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment, will make the first global survey of the temperature of the lunar surface while the orbiter circles some 50 kilometers (31 miles) above the moon. "The terrain on the far side of the moon is quite ... more
Washington (AFP) June 16, 2009NASA embarks on a landmark mission of lunar exploration this week with the launch of probes to scout for water sources and landing sites, in a bid to lead humanity back on the first visit to the moon since 1972. The US space agency, with its eye on sending astronauts to Earth's natural satellite by 2020, is on course to blast off the dual LRO and LCROSS missions on Thursday atop an Atlas V ... more |
