NASA's desire to provide outstanding communications support for the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and other unmanned spacecraft moved closer to this goal in July when agency officials approved critical elements for the next generation of Tracking and Data Relay Satellites, TDRS K and TDRS L. http://www.physorg.com/news167491448.html Space & Earth Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:50:03 EST news167491448 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new map combining nearly three months of data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is giving astronomers an unprecedented look at the high-energy cosmos. To Fermi's eyes, the universe is ablaze with gamma rays from sources ranging from within the solar system to galaxies billions of light-years away. http://www.physorg.com/news155994698.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:52:37 EST news155994698 An early warning system, more than a decade in development, successfully predicted the 2006-2007 outbreak of the deadly Rift Valley fever in northeast Africa, according to a new study led by NASA scientists. http://www.physorg.com/news154018681.html Other Sciences Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:59:12 EST news154018681 (PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, spacecraft was loaded on a truck Wednesday to begin its two-day journey to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch is targeted for April 24. http://www.physorg.com/news153596607.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:45:38 EST news153596607 (PhysOrg.com) -- The development of NASA's next-generation crew launch vehicle, the Ares I rocket, took another step forward Thursday as Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, successfully tested a critical piece. ATK conducted a full-scale separation test of the forward skirt extension for the Ares I-X flight test at its facility in Promontory, Utah. http://www.physorg.com/news152543648.html Space & Earth Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:14:41 EST news152543648 Today, NASA researchers announced an event that will transform our view of the Sun and, in the process, super-charge the field of solar physics for many years to come. http://www.physorg.com/news152204440.html Space & Earth Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:01:09 EST news152204440 Scientists need a more detailed understanding of how human-produced atmospheric particles, called aerosols, affect climate in order to produce better predictions of Earth's future climate, according to a NASA-led report issued by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program on Friday. http://www.physorg.com/news151383514.html Space & Earth Sat, 17 Jan 2009 02:58:34 EST news151383514 (PhysOrg.com) -- Listening to the early universe just got harder. A team led by Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., today announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected. http://www.physorg.com/news150569765.html Space & Earth Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:56:05 EST news150569765 (PhysOrg.com) -- NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered 12 new gamma-ray-only pulsars and has detected gamma-ray pulses from 18 others. The finds are transforming our understanding of how these stellar cinders work. http://www.physorg.com/news150483177.html Space & Earth Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:52:57 EST news150483177 (PhysOrg.com) -- An ongoing X-ray survey undertaken by NASA's Swift spacecraft is revealing differences between nearby active galaxies and those located about halfway across the universe. Understanding these differences will help clarify the relationship between a galaxy and its central black hole. http://www.physorg.com/news150482218.html Space & Earth Tue, 06 Jan 2009 16:36:58 EST news150482218 NASA's Swift Gamma-ray Explorer satellite rocketed into space in 2004 on a mission to study some of the highest-energy events in the universe. The spacecraft has detected more than 380 gamma-ray bursts, fleeting flares that likely signal the birth of a black hole in the distant universe. In that time, Swift also has observed 80 exploding stars and studied six comets. http://www.physorg.com/news147542805.html Space & Earth Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:06:45 EST news147542805 In the largest research contract ever awarded to the University of Colorado at Boulder, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics has been selected by NASA to lead a $485 million orbiting space mission slated to launch in 2013 to probe the past climate of Mars, including its potential for harboring life over the ages. http://www.physorg.com/news140714424.html Space & Earth Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:20:24 EST news140714424 Hurricane Ike has delayed the scheduled Friday arrival of a Russian Progress cargo ship at the International Space Station 220 miles above Earth. http://www.physorg.com/news140438664.html Space & Earth Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:44:24 EST news140438664 Several bases of operations for NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) are gearing up for data from the recently launched satellite. http://www.physorg.com/news134226731.html Space & Earth Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:12:11 EST news134226731
