    LRO Enters Orbit Around the Moon
    Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jun 29, 2009
    The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has successfully entered orbit around the moon following a nearly five-day journey. Engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., confirmed the spacecraft's lunar orbit insertion at 6:27 a.m. EDT on June 23. A series of four engine burns through June 27 will finalize LRO's initial orbit. During this phase, each of its seven instruments ... more

    Cassini Hints At Ocean Within Saturn's Moon Enceladus
    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 ... more
