SpaceX Plans Reusable Seven-Person Capsule![]() SpaceX said it plans to develop a reusable capsule that could carry a crew of up to seven into low Earth orbit, making it a competitor to assume some of the tasks of NASA's space shuttle fleet after it is retired. New Soyuz Rockets To Be Built For ISS ![]() Russia will build a group of new Soyuz carrier rockets, the head of the country's space agency said Tuesday. Roscosmos Calls For Launch Swaps And Bigger ISS Crew ![]() The director of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, said Tuesday that cosmonauts in the next few years would begin flying to the International Space Station aboard NASA shuttles, and U.S. astronauts would fly aboard Russian Soyuz spacecraft. |
Experimental Atomic Clock Uses Ytterbium Pancakes![]() Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) working with Russian colleagues have significantly improved the design of optical atomic clocks that hold thousands of atoms in a lattice made of intersecting laser beams. Young Galaxies Were Hostile To Life ![]() Scientists said Tuesday they have found evidence that the earliest galaxies in the universe could have been extremely hostile environments for life. University Group Urges Continued Support For Hubble, Webb Telescopes ![]() The head of the university association that manages the Hubble Space Telescope, as well as the planned James Webb Space Telescope, sent a letter Monday to the chairman of the House Science Commission reminding him of the value of the two missions. |
International Symposium On Radar Altimetry To Meet In Venice![]() The life of Venetians is strictly connected to the sea-level, which is one of the reasons why Venice was chosen to host the international symposium "15 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry". Research Reveals Hidden Magnetism In Superconductivity ![]() While studying a compound made of the elements cerium- rhodium-indium, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have discovered that a magnetic state can coexist with superconductivity in a specific temperature and pressure range. GPS Test Uses Situational Laboratories To Reduce Costs ![]() From testing cockpit displays for Air Force jets, Rob Tannen was known for his ability to create laboratory environments in unique situations. Now, as Director of Human Factors at Electronic Ink in Philadelphia, he is confronted with testing software in many verticals, from Medical to Consumer. |
Portrait Of A Pearl At Dusk![]() NASA's Cassini spacecraft captured this image of Saturn's moon Enceladus hanging like a single bright pearl against the golden-brown canvas of the icy rings and the faint outline of the planet at dusk - complete with faint ring shadows falling across Saturn's surface. Mars Express Takes A Slice Of Olympus Mons ![]() This image, taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera on board ESA's Mars Express spacecraft, shows the eastern scarp of the Olympus Mons volcano on Mars. The HRSC obtained the image during orbit 1,089 with a ground resolution of approximately 11 meters (36 feet) per pixel. The image is centered at 17.5 degrees North and 230.5 degrees East.
