The German Aerospace Center has developed a custom aerodynamic flight control system for SHEFEX II, which will be used to control the craft as it returns to Earth. At the heart of the canard control system, developed b ... more  
London (UPI) Aug 23, 2010 Bacteria from cliffs on the south coast of England have proved themselves hardy astronauts, surviving a year and a half as space travelers, researchers say.

Weighing The Planets, From Mercury To SaturnBonn, Germany (SPX) Aug 24, 2010 An international research team led by David Champion, now at Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, with researchers from Australia, Germany, the U.S., U.K. and Canada, has come up with a new way to weigh the planets in our Solar System, using radio signals from pulsars. Data from a set of four pulsars have been used to weigh Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with their moons and rings. The new measurement technique is sensitive to just 0.003% of the mass of the Earth, and one te ... read more |
