AFOSR-funded research key to revolutionary 'green' spacecraft propellant
In 2015, NASA, for the first time, will fly a space mission utilizing a radically different propellant-one which has reduced toxicity and is environmentally benign. (2013-05-08)
First data released from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer
The first published results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), a major physics experiment operating on the International Space Station, were announced today by the AMS collaboration spokesman, Nobel Laureate Samuel Ting. (2013-04-04)
NASA's Swift Sizes Up Comet ISON
Astronomers from the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP) and Lowell Observatory have used NASA's Swift satellite to check out comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), which may become one of the most dazzling in decades when it rounds the sun later this year. (2013-04-01)
International space station plays host to innovative infectious disease research
Performing sensitive biological experiments is always a delicate affair. (2013-02-20)
Having a Tony Stark at the office is fine as long as you hire a Pepper Potts
Not every company has an Iron Man, but many have a Tony Stark - a highly powerful, intensely-focused individual who often ignores risk in order to achieve his or her goals. (2013-02-11)
How plants sense gravity -- a new look at the roles of genetics and the cytoskeleton
Gravity affects the ecology and evolution of every living organism. In plants, the general response to gravity is well known: their roots respond positively, growing down, into the soil, and their stems respond negatively, growing upward, to reach the sunlight. (2013-02-05)
NASA's Robotic Refueling Demo Set to Jumpstart Expanded Capabilities in Space
In mid-January, NASA will take the next step in advancing robotic satellite-servicing technologies as it tests the Robotic Refueling Mission, or RRM aboard the International Space Station. (2013-01-11)
Preventing infection on long flights
On a long spaceflight unique conditions including microgravity could give microbes the upper hand, but not if astronauts and their spacecrafts are properly prepared. (2012-10-19)
Spaceflight may extend the lifespan of microscopic worm
The effect of spaceflight on a microscopic worm - Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) - could help it to live longer. (2012-07-09)
TDRS-4 Mission Complete; Spacecraft Retired From Active Service
The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite 4 (TDRS-4) recently completed almost 23 years of operations support and successfully completed end-of-mission de-orbit and decommissioning activities. (2012-05-09)
