Weaponization Of Space Will Have Unpredictable Consequences
Moscow (RIA) Apr 07, 2006
Colonel Anthony Russo, chief of the U.S. Strategic Command's space and global strike division, said Wednesday the time was ripe for clearly stipulating the Pentagon's responsibility for the security of the national space group. Space-based laser and kinetic energy weapons will be used against those who create obstructions to U.S. satellites. Logically, this will lead to the creation of a space theater of war.

    Boeing Orbital Express Program Passes Major Test Milestones
    St Louis MO (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    The Boeing Orbital Express system, a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program aimed at demonstrating fully autonomous on-orbit satellite servicing, last month completed two major test milestones.

    AeroAstro Joins Ball Aerospace On USAF Small Satellite Program
    Ashburn VA (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    Small-satellite firm AeroAstro said on Thursday that it will design and build the spacecraft bus and provide integration, launch and mission operations services for Ball Aerospace and Technologies under a six-year contract.

    Microsat The Equivalent Of Orbiting PCs
    Leicester, England (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    Satellite technology has advanced to the point where spacecraft smaller than a household washing machine can match the pointing stability and accurate positioning needed to carry astronomical instruments.

    Swift Spies Unusual Bang In Far Universe
    Leicester, UK (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    In the nearly 40 years since high-energy gamma-ray bursts in space were first discovered by U.S. satellites looking for Soviet nuclear detonations on Earth, many thousands of the strange phenomena have been observed, but scientists still do not understand them well - and a recent example might cause further confusion instead of improved understanding.

    Arecibo Survey Produces Dark Galaxy Candidate
    Leicester England (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    Results from the Arecibo Radio Telescope's new Galaxy Environment Survey show what appears to be the first candidates for mysterious objects called dark galaxies, which burn brilliantly in radio wavelengths but are almost invisible to optical telescopes. Dark galaxies could help explain where part of the so-called missing mass of the universe is hiding.

    Saturn A-Ring Full Of Debris
    Boulder CO (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    Scientists at the University of Colorado at Boulder said new calculations, based on Cassini observations taken last May with the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, or UVIS, show the ring's opacity - or light-blocking capacity - is as much as 35 percent higher than previously reported.

    Collaboration Improves Solar Storm Forecasting
    Kirtland NM (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    A recently established partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Weather Agency seeks to reduce the impact of space environmental effects on Defense Department operational assets through enhanced forecasting of violent solar storms.

    Spitzer Sees New Planet Disk Around Dead Star
    Pasadena CA (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has uncovered new evidence that new planets could emerge from the ashes of a supernova around dense, rapidly spinning stellar remnants called pulsars.

    Survey Reveals Building Block Process For Biggest Galaxies
    Leicester England (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    A new study of the universe's most massive galaxy clusters shows how mergers play a critical role in their evolution. Astronomers used the twin Gemini Observatory instruments in Hawaii and Chile, and the Hubble Space Telescope to study populations of stars in the universe's most massive galaxy clusters over a range of epochs.

    XMM-Newton Spots Colliding Supernova Remnants Nearby
    Leicester, UK (SPX) Apr 07, 2006
    Data from ESA's XMM-Newton Space Telescope reveal a cloud of supernova remnants - material blown out into space during death throes of a giant star - has created bubble of gas enveloping the solar system that is being shoved backwards by debris from another and more recent supernova.
