How To Hunt For ExoplanetsWashington DC (SPX) Mar 03, 2010 A new report launched by the Institute of Physics (IOP) Exoplanets - The search for planets beyond our solar system explains how new technological advances have seen the discovery of more than 400 exoplanets to date, a number expected to rise to thousands in the next few years. The report details how new techniques and instruments are providing growing observational evidence that our home galaxy - the Milky Way with its 100 billion stars - could contain millions of solar systems.

Brisbane, Australia (SPX) Feb 28, 2010The University of Queensland will lead a $14 million international consortium to help develop scramjet-based access-to-space systems, flying an autonomous scramjet vehicle at eight times the speed of sound - Mach 8, or 8600 km/h. In parallel, scramjet concepts will be tested at even greater speeds, up to Mach 14, in UQ's world class hypersonic ground-test facilities. Scramjets are ai ... more  
Washington (AFP) March 1, 2010A US radar that launched into space aboard an Indian spacecraft has detected craters filled with ice on the moon's north pole, NASA scientists said Monday. The US space agency's Mini-SAR radar found more than 40 small craters ranging in size from one to nine miles (1.6 to 15 kilometers), each full of water ice. "Although the total amount of ice depends on its thickness in each crater, it ... more  
Washington (AFP) Feb 26, 2010A journey from Earth to Mars could in the future take just 39 days - cutting current travel time nearly six times - according to a rocket scientist who has the ear of the US space agency. Franklin Chang-Diaz, a former astronaut and a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), says reaching the Red Planet could be dramatically quicker using his high-tech VASIMR rocket, no ... more |

Journey To The Center Of MarsHuntsville AL (SPX) Feb 26, 2010 February 24, 2010: Mars rover Spirit has tenaciously swept, scraped, and squeezed secrets from the forbidding surface of Mars for 6 years. Now at an impasse, up to its belly in sand, it has struggled to tilt its solar panels toward the sun and collect just enough power to survive the perilously cold Martian winter. If Spirit can make it through to spring, the feisty robot will prove it's still in the game-by solving the mysteries of the Martian core. Unlocking those secrets will require the guile ... read more |
