Cassini Measures Tug Of EnceladusPasadena CA (JPL) Apr 27, 2010 NASA's Cassini spacecraft will be gliding low over Saturn's moon Enceladus for a gravity experiment designed to probe the moon's interior composition. The flyby, which will take Cassini through the water-rich plume flaring out from Enceladus's south polar region, will occur on April 27 Pacific time and April 28 UTC. At closest approach, Cassini will be flying about 100 kilometers (60 miles) above the moon's surface. Cassini's scientists plan to use the radio science instrument to measure the ... read more |

Paris, France (ESO) Apr 14, 2010According to the first ever infrared analysis of the atmosphere of Neptune's moon Triton, summer is in full swing in its southern hemisphere. The European observing team used ESO's Very Large Telescope and discovered carbon monoxide and made the first ground-based detection of methane in Triton's thin atmosphere. These observations revealed that the thin atmosphere varies seasonally, thick ... more  
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 13, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft completed its double flyby this week, swinging by Saturn's moons Titan and Dione with no maneuver in between. The spacecraft has beamed back stunning raw images of fractured terrain and craters big and small on Dione, a moon that had only been visited once before by Cassini. The Titan flyby took place April 5, and the Dione flyby took place April 7 in the UTC time ... more

ESA plans its first moon landerParis (UPI) Apr 1, 2010 The European Space Agency says it is seeking industry proposals for a lander to be used in an exploration mission to the moon's south polar region. ESA scientists said that lunar area's possible deposits of water ice, heavily cratered terrain and long periods of sunlight make it an extremely interesting target for astronauts' moon missions. The space agency says the lander will need the latest navigation technology to fly a precise course from lunar orbit to the surface and touch down sa ... read more |
