Forty years ago man first walked on the moon
Washington (AFP) July 5, 2009
Forty years ago on July 20, 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong realized the oldest dream of human civilizations when he became the first man to walk on the moon. As an estimated 500 million people around the world waited with bated breath crowded around fuzzy television screens and radios, Armstrong stepped down the lunar module's ladder and onto the lunar surface. "That's one small ... read more

Seeking Synergy To Return To The Moon
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jul 06, 2009
At the start of the Obama administration, our young and energetic president made clear that NASA must shed its ennui and business as usual attitude and get back to executing some bold and daring projects. He appointed a transition team to look into changes. At that time, I recall there was talk of bringing various seemingly disparate agencies and departments together, especially the ... more

    Chandrayaan-II To Be Launched By 2013
    Bangalore, India (PTI) Jul 06, 2009
    India's second lunar mission Chandrayaan-II is likely to be launched by 2013, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman G. Madhavan Nair said Saturday. 'Chandrayaan-II should take place by 2013. Our first lunar mission, Chandrayaan-I, has given us a substantial understanding about entering the moon's orbit. But ensuring the safe landing of the rover on the lunar surface is still ... more

    LRO Sends First Lunar Images To Earth
    Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jul 03, 2009
    NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO, has transmitted its first images since reaching lunar orbit June 23. The spacecraft has two cameras - a low resolution Wide Angle Camera and a high resolution Narrow Angle Camera. Collectively known as the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera, or LROC, they were activated June 30. The cameras are working well and have returned images of a region ... more

    First Conclusive Signature For Lunar Uranium
    Tucson AZ (SPX) Jun 30, 2009
    Robert C. Reedy, a senior scientist at the Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute, is mapping the Moon's surface elements using data gathered by an advanced gamma-ray spectrometer (GRS) that rode aboard the Japanese Kaguya spacecraft. The data promise to show chemical elements on the Moon that have never been identified before, and Reedy and the Kaguya GRS team already have found uranium ... more

    NASA Seeks Help With Von Braun Collection
    Washington DC (SPX) Jun 29, 2009
    On the eve of the 40th anniversary of the historic first moon landing, NASA is seeking ideas from the public, academia, and industry about how to analyze and catalog notes from spaceflight pioneer Wernher von Braun into an electronic, searchable database or other system. Von Braun was the first director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., and a key figure in the ... more

    Exotic Life Could Sprout From Chemistry On Titan
    Moffett Field CA (SPX) Jun 26, 2009
    If 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

    An 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

    Jets On Enceladus Not Geysers From Underground Ocean
    Boulder CO (SPX) Jun 25, 2009
    Water vapor jets that spew from the surface of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus are not really geysers from an underground ocean as initially envisioned by planetary scientists, according to a study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder. First observed following a close flyby by NASA's Cassini spacecraft in July 2005, the jets were found to consist of both water vapor and icy particles ... more
