Sydney - Apr 03, 2003For the past few years SpaceDaily has published a series of detailed articles on the upcoming mission to Saturn which will get underway later this year as NASA's Cassini spacecraft approaches Saturn ahead of a 90 minute engine burn to place the billion dollar spacecraft in orbit about Saturn. New Los Alamos Facility Will X-Ray Aging Nuclear Weapons 
Los Alamos - Apr 03, 2003Los Alamos National Laboratory has completed construction of the second stage of the world's most powerful flash X-ray machine, a key experimental tool needed to study how aging nuclear weapons behave in the absence of nuclear testing. |
Carnegie Mellon To Test Robot In Chile
Pittsburgh - Apr 02, 2003A team of NASA and Carnegie Mellon University scientists will travel to the Atacama Desert in northern Chile April 1 to conduct research that will help them develop and deploy a robot and instruments that may someday enable other robots to find life on Mars. First DMC Microsat Images Released 
Guildford - Apr 03, 2003The initial Earth observation images captured by AlSAT-1, the first DMC microsatellite in orbit, have been released. These images demonstrate the remarkable capability and outstanding performance of the new microsatellite, which produces a unique combination of extremely large image area (up to 600x600 km swath width) at a ground sampling distance of 32-metres in three spectral bands. |
Opportunities For Business In Space
Paris - Apr 03, 2003At the Hanover Fair 2003, ESA will present the wide range of opportunities for commercial utilisation and technology transfer created by Europe's involvement in space. Amazing Magnetic Fluids 
Huntsville - Apr 03, 2003If you don't see it for yourself, you might not believe it. A grey blob oozes down the side of a laboratory beaker. It's heading for the table, but before it gets there a low hum fills the air. Someone just switched on an electromagnet. |
The Nuclear Heart of Planet Earth
Brisbane - Mar 31, 2003What would we find if we were to dig a hole all the way down to the centre of the Earth? According to high school science books we would discover a liquid iron alloy core and a smaller solid inner core at the center. For ten years, geophysicist J. Marvin Herndon has presented increasingly persuasive evidence that at the very centre of the Earth, within the inner core, there exists a five mile in diameter sphere of uranium which acts as a natural nuclear reactor. In this extended interview Wayne Smith talks with Dr Herndon about this theory and its implications for planetary science. |
