Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jun 29, 2009The 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  
Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2009European 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

Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) Jun 24, 2009 The U.S. space agency's Diviner, an instrument that will map the moon's temperature, has entered a lunar orbit aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The instrument, a nine-channel radiometer built and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will also, for the first time, produce a map showing the composition of the moon, as well as a map showing how rocky the moon is. ... more 
Greenbelt, Md. (UPI) Jun 24, 2009 The U.S. space agency says its Interstellar Boundary Explorer has made the first detection of very fast neutral atoms emanating from the moon. The discovery came during the spacecraft's commissioning, when scientists turned on the IBEX-Hi instrument, which measures atoms with speeds from about half a million to 2.5 million miles per hour. "Just after we got IBEX-Hi turned on, the ... more
