Water Content Of Moon's Interior UnderestimatedWashington DC (SPX) Jun 15, 2010 NASA-funded scientists estimate from recent research that the volume of water molecules locked inside minerals in the moon's interior could exceed the amount of water in the Great Lakes here on Earth. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory in Washington, along with other scientists across the nation, determined that the water was likely present very early in the moon's formation history as hot magma started to cool and crystallize. This finding means water is native to the ... read more |

NASA Moves 'FAST' For Reduced-Gravity Flight Testing Tech Projects
Washington DC (SPX) May 24, 2010NASA selected 17 technology demonstration projects for reduced-gravity aircraft flights to demonstrate whether emerging technologies can perform as expected in the reduced-gravity environment of the moon and Mars, or the zero-gravity environment of Earth orbit. NASA selected the projects through its Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology program, or FAST. The selected p ... more Loral Announces Milestone in NASA Ames Project
Palo Alto CA (SPX) May 24, 2010Space Systems/Loral (SS/L) has announced its support for NASA's new direction in conjunction with the preliminary design review for the propulsion system that it is building for a spacecraft that will study the lunar atmosphere. "Space Systems/Loral has a long history of working with government agencies to provide industry solutions that meet or exceed mission requirements," said John Cell ... more Cassini Heading To Titan After Tagging Enceladus
Pasadena CA (JPL) May 21, 2010NASA's Cassini spacecraft is on its way to a flyby of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, after capturing some stunning images of Enceladus. One view shows the hazy outline of Titan behind Saturn's rings, with the dark curve of Enceladus at the bottom. In other images, Enceladus put its craggy face forward, exhibiting some of the fractures and cratering that have made the Saturnian moon a favori ... more |

NASA Invites Public To Take Virtual Walk On MoonMoffett Field CA (SPX) May 17, 2010 More than 37 years after humans last walked on the moon, planetary scientists are inviting members of the public to return to the lunar surface as "virtual astronauts" to help answer important scientific questions. No spacesuit or rocket ship is required-all visitors need to do is go to http://www.moonzoo.org and be among the first to see the lunar surface in unprecedented detail. New high-resolution images, taken by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), offer exciting clues to unveil ... read more |
