EADS Chief Calls Satellite Offer Dead Paris, (AFP) Apr 06, 2006 
Noel Forgeard, the executive co-president of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space company (EADS) said in an interview to appear Friday that an offer to join a space satellites alliance with Alcatel and Thales was "null and void." XCOR Aerospace Composite Material Aces Tests 
Mojave CA (SPX) Apr 07, 2006XCOR Aerospace said Thursday it has conducted successful tests of the ignition and oxygen compatibility of its new thermoplastic fluoropolymer composite material at NASA's White Sands Test Facility in southwest New Mexico. Boeing Orbital Express Program Passes Major Test Milestones 
St Louis MO (SPX) Apr 07, 2006The 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, 2006Small-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, 2006Satellite 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, 2006In 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, 2006Results 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, 2006Scientists 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, 2006A 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, 2006NASA'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, 2006A 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, 2006Data 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. |
