 Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2009 
European scientists on the joint NASA/ESA Cassini mission have detected, for the first time, sodium salts in ice grains of Saturn's E-ring, which is primarily replenished by material from the plumes of water vapour and ice grains emitted by Saturn's moon Enceladus. The detection of salty ice indicates that the little moon harbours a reservoir of liquid water, perhaps even an ocean, beneath ... read more

Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2009NASA has announced that it has signed an agreement with the California Space Authority, Inc., (CSA) to collaborate on participatory science and public outreach using a simulated lunar surface environment. Under the terms of a Space Act Agreement, CSA will establish an office at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., in NASA Research Park. This fall, NASA Ames and CSA, along ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2009If life exists on Titan, it's anyone's guess what that life looks like. Saturn's largest moon is not a good candidate for Earth-like life because it usually lacks liquid water on the surface. But one of Titan's most promising features is the presence of lakes filled with liquid hydrocarbons, or molecules made of hydrogen and carbon, such as methane and ethane. These lakes were recently ... more 
Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 25, 2009The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, successfully completed its most significant early mission milestone Tuesday with a lunar swingby and calibration of its science instruments. The satellite will search for water ice in a permanently shadowed crater at the moon's south pole. With the assist of the moon's gravity, LCROSS and its attached Centaur booster rocket ... more 
Potsdam, Germany (SPX) Jun 25, 2009An enormous plume of water spurts in giant jets from the south pole of Saturn's moon Enceladus. In a report published in the international science journal Nature, European researchers provide evidence that this magnificent plume is fed by a salty ocean. The discovery could have implications for the search for extraterrestrial life as well as our understanding of how planetary moons are for ... more |

Washington DC (SPX) Jun 23, 2009Two NASA spacecraft will reach major mission milestones early Tuesday morning as they approach the moon - one will send back live streaming imagery via the Internet as it swings by the moon, the other will insert itself into lunar orbit to begin mapping the moon's surface. After a four and a half day journey to the moon, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, will be captured by the ... more 
Bethesda MD (SPX) Jun 22, 2009This past week, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's lunar landing, the Augustine Panel held its first public meeting on the future of the U.S. human space program. Here we are, five years and billions of dollars into President Bush's Vision for Space Exploration, and the new President expects a panel of a ten senior space experts to evaluate the established plan for returning ... more 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 19, 2009A new lunar topography map with the highest resolution of the moon's rugged south polar region provides new information on some of our natural satellite's darkest inhabitants - permanently shadowed craters.

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 |
