Mars Express Radar Gauges Water Quantity Around Martian South Pole
Paris, France (ESA) Mar 16, 2007The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet. This new estimate comes from mapping the thickness of the dusty ice by the Mars Express radar instrument that has made more than 300 virtual slices through layered deposits covering the pole. The radar sees through icy layers to the lower boundary. ... more Mikulski Calls for Bipartisan Summit with White House on Future of Space

General Atomics Scores Power Production First
San Diego, CA (SPX) Mar 15, 2007A team led by General Atomics (GA) successfully tested a new method for generating electrical power on board a hypersonic vehicle. A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator was operated to produce electrical power using the exhaust stream from a prototype hypersonic scramjet combustor simulating flight at Mach 8 conditions. This is the world's first successful demonstration of a hypersonic MHD ... read more ISRO May Use Kerosene As Rocket Fuel 
New Delhi (PTI) Mar 14, 2007In a bid to reduce the cost of launching satellites, space scientists are exploring the use of kerosene to propel rockets into outer space, a first such attempt in the country. Scientists at ISRO's Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) are carrying out research for the possible use of kerosene in the semi- cryogenic engines, which if successful will ... more Fifth Annual Space Career Fair Set For April 12

From it they can detect right down to a specific year what climatic conditions prevailed at the time of the Neanderthals, for example. ... more Scientists Explain Source Of Mysterious Tremors Emanating From Fault Zones 
Stanford CA (SPX) Mar 15, 2007Tiny tremors and temblors recently discovered in fault zones from California to Japan are generated by slow-moving earthquakes that may foreshadow catastrophic seismic events, according to scientists at Stanford University and the University of Tokyo. In a study published March 15 in Nature, the research team focused on weak seismic signals known as "non-volcanic tremor" and "low-frequency earthquakes." ... more MORE TERRA DAILY HEADLINES
