China Unveils New Space Science Plan
Beijing (XNA) Mar 13, 2007The government has unveiled an ambitious blueprint for developing space science that includes the launch of the country's first astronomy satellite and more extensive international cooperation. The astronomical satellite will carry a "hard X-ray modulation telescope," which is being developed by Chinese scientists for launch in 2010, according to the Space Science Development Plan. The pla ... more Canadian Satellite Given Final Checks At Russian Launch Pad 
Moscow (AFP) March 12, 2007Final checks have begun on the Canadian Anik F3 telecommunication satellite due to be launched into space by a Russian rocket next month, the rocket's makers said on Monday. The satellite, which weighs 4,600 kilograms (10,140 pounds), will supply telephone and Internet services and transmit television and radio signals across Canada and the United States. It arrived at the Baikonur launch ... more Rocket Plane Roulette 
Honolulu HI (SPX) Mar 07, 2007The safety record of rocket-powered aircraft suggests that the suborbital tourism industry is headed for a crash - and a lawyer feeding frenzy that will wipe it out. Different firms have suggested they will fly from 25 to 200 test flights before paying passengers are accepted. These numbers are both too small to reveal all the potential failure modes and so large relative to the average rocketplane lifetime that a crash in the test program is likely.

Future Is Bright For Air Force Space Assets
San Antonio TX (AFNS) Mar 13, 2007The Airmen of Air Force Space Command are tracking a lot more than the man-made space junk that orbits the Earth. Space operators are troubleshooting the way they do business. They're focusing on getting their capabilities -- the ones most Americans know little about -- to the forefront of the battlefield. Leading the effort is a group of leaders with experience in real-world combat operat ... more Iran Shrugs Off Threat Of More UN Sanctions 
Tehran (AFP) Mar 13, 2007Iran on Tuesday shrugged off the threat of further UN Security Council sanctions over its nuclear programme, saying more punitive action would not affect the controversial atomic drive or its economy. "The adoption of another resolution is not welcome but is not worrying," government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham told reporters. "It will not affect our work and will not concern our people." ... more Does The Surge Needs Sadr 
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 13, 2007Tactically, the new U.S. surge policy in Iraq centered in Baghdad is off to a bad start, yet there remains a chance it can still work. The bad news is that would require retaining good relations with a key Shiite militia force that U.S. policymakers appear determined to alienate. Sunni insurgent terror attacks in Iraq, especially in Baghdad, continue unabated, despite the dispatch of more ... more MORE HEADLINES

Getting On Your Nerves And Repairing Them
Bethesda MD (SPX) Mar 12, 2007Here is some news that will certainly get on people's nerves: In a study to be published in the March 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal, scientists from East Carolina University report that a key molecular mechanism, RNA interference (RNAi), plays a role in the regeneration and repair of periphery nerves, which are the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal column. This research may ... more Indonesia Allots One Billion Dollars To Prevent Floods 
Jakarta (AFP) March 12, 2007Indonesia has earmarked more than one billion dollars to prevent flooding in the capital where an inundation earlier this year killed dozens, a report said Monday. The flooding in February following monsoon downpours killed 85 people across Indonesia, displaced some 340,000 and paralysed Jakarta, a city of some 12 million people. It led to searing criticism of flood prevention measures as ... more Germans Urged To Give Foreign Travel A Rest To Curb Global Warming 
Berlin (AFP) Mar 13, 2007As the global warming debate heats up, Germans are being urged to swap their holidays on faraway tropical islands for trips to less glamorous Baltic beaches to help save the planet. "In the near future, people are going to become increasingly aware that aircraft emit vast amounts of greenhouse gases, far more than cars or trains," said Manfred Stock, a researcher at the climate research centre i ... more MORE HEADLINES
