Satellite data look behind the scenes of deadly earthquake(European Space Agency) Using satellite radar data and GPS measurements, Chinese researchers have explained the exceptional geological events leading to the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake that killed nearly 90 000 people in China's Sichuan Province.

With every spacecraft that leaves Earth, millions of microbes hitch a ride into space. As astrobiologists search for life in other worlds, preventing forward and back contamination remains a key priority.

In the murky boundary between our solar system and the rest of the galaxy, scientists have spotted a bright band of surprising high-energy emission.

(DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory) The invisible structures of space are becoming less so, as scientists look out to the far edges of the solar wind bubble that separates our solar system from the interstellar cloud through which it flies. Using the High Energy Neutral Atom Imager, led by Los Alamos National Laboratory, the NASA Interstellar Boundary Explorer mission has sent back data that indicates a "noodle soup" of solar material has accumulated at the outer fringes of the heliosphere bubble.

(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics has announced the publication of a new book, "Out of This World: The New Field of Space Architecture." Written by A. Scott Howe and Brent Sherwood, the new work is a part of AIAA's Library of Flight series.

How do you fly on a world with no atmosphere? Wings won't work and neither do propellers. The space agency is perfecting the art of "airless flying" using a prototype lunar lander at the Marshall Space Flight Center.
NASA Thursday, October 15, 2009Who Needs NASA?
Most college students don't have much money, living on staples such as Ramen noodles and pizza. In my experience, when students manage to accumulate a spare $150 dollars, they are probably going to spend it on video games, beer or spring break fun. Recently, a team of students from MIT set out to photograph the curvature of the Earth from nearly 18 miles above the Earth's surface. Except they only had, yep you guessed it, 150 bucks. NASA spends billions of dollars every year on the space program, yet these students figured they could do it just as well, and for a whole lot less money. Using a $40 digital camera, $50 prepaid cell phone (for GPS tracking), styrofoam beer cooler, a helium filled weather balloon and a few other materials, they constructed a "vehicle" capable of carrying a camera into the upper stratosphere. And, just as important, the vehicle fell back down to Earth, with the help of a parachute, roughly 20 miles away from where it was launched. All the electronics were
About Thursday, October 15, 2009Russians Want To Return To Venus
Since 1961 there have been 17 missions to Venus, with all but one undertaken solely by Russian scientists. The BBC reports that at a recent conference the Russian based research institute IKI proposed a return trip to the volatile planet. The purpose for the conference was to attract researchers from the United States and Europe to the project, scheduled to launch in 2016. So what is the big deal with this project? Probes are sent all over the solar system every year, and the Russians themselves have sent 17 missions to Venus already. Well, Venus represents a unique set of problems, with oppressively high temperatures and pressure on the surface. While previous missions to the planet included orbiting satellites and landing craft, this proposed mission is far more ambitious. While a landing craft and orbiter would be included, the probe would also include multiple air balloons and even possibly a "wind Flier". Initially, scientists hoped to create a landing craft that would be able
About Thursday, October 15, 2009NASA Crashes Probes into Moon
Normally when we think of space probes, we imagine small satellites orbiting planets and moons, taking pictures and scientific measurements. Well, early Friday morning NASA watched two probes crash into the moon. On purpose. Now, I know what you might be thinking, so no, NASA was not suddenly handed over to a bunch of pre-schoolers. Rather, scientists are investigating the presence of water (in the form of ice) under the surface of the Moon. The first of the two probes crashed into the Moon around 7:31 a.m., creating a dust cloud more than 6 miles high. The second probe followed behind the first, taking pictures and measurements as it passed through the dust cloud. It then crashed into the surface about 4 minutes later with an impact about 1/3 the size of the first. The results of the mission, called LCROSS (the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite), are intended to be the first step in planning a manned mission to the Moon by 2020.

About Thursday, October 15, 2009T-minus 18 months and counting: Virgin Galactic and the future of space tourism
Twenty-five years ago when Sir Richard Branson (sans the "sir," at the time) called up Boeing and asked for a spare 747, few would have predicted the brash entrepreneur would so radically disrupt the formerly staid business of air travel. Perhaps folks had higher hopes for the former record executives' feature film production debut at the same time: 1984 . But today Branson is master of airlines on six of seven continents, employing hundreds of jets, and now the ennobled Brit predicts, his company is a scant 18 months from the first commercial near-orbit flight .
