Los Alamos National Laboratory and Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) have announced a contract agreement for development of an advanced satellite platform for ionospheric and lightning studies. The British firm, SSTL, will create the satellite platform that will be used to carry the Cibola Flight Experiment payload developed by Los... view more... (2004-03-12)
NASA eyes Hilda's Hawaiian hangout -- south of the islands
Tropical Storm Hilda is hanging on to tropical storm force winds, and continues to track south of the Hawaiian Islands. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite noticed some moderate rainfall in Hilda's center earlier today, but the storm is staying far enough south of Hawaii to not cause trouble for travelers and vacationers. view more (2009-08-27)
NASA's Aqua Satellite sees Tropical Storm Parma lingering in the Luzon Strait
Two instruments on NASA's Aqua satellite captured views of Tropical Storm Parma early today, October 5, while it was almost stationary in the Luzon Strait and it appears that it will sit there for several days. view more (2009-10-06)
Telemedicine: Health alert via satellite
An earthquake has just shaken the Greek island. Damage is widespread and all conventional, terrestrial communications have been destroyed. The rescue operations have only one means at their disposal that has not been affected by the quake - a satellite which, from its altitude of 36 000 kilometres, can immediately link the locations involved in... view more...

Vanguard I celebrates 50 years in space
The Vanguard I satellite celebrates its 50th birthday this year. Its launch on March 17, 1958 from Cape Canaveral, Florida, culminated the efforts of America's first official space satellite program begun in September 1955. The first solar-powered satellite, Vanguard I has the distinction of being the oldest artificial satellite orbiting the... view more... (2008-03-14)

Still a Low Chance of Development for Two Lows
The two areas of thunderstorms in the Caribbean from yesterday, July 21, are on the move. One area is now moving into out of the Caribbean and into the eastern Atlantic Ocean while the other is now moving over the southeastern Bahamas and Hispaniola on a northwest track. view more (2009-07-23)
Global coral reef assessment built on NASA images
A first-of-its-kind survey of how well the world's coral reefs are being protected was made possible by a unique collection of NASA views from space. view more (2006-07-27)
Beating the radar: Getting a jump on storm prediction
Satellite observation of cloud temperatures may be able to accurately predict severe thunderstorms up to 45 minutes earlier than relying on traditional radar alone. view more (2009-06-18)
NASA Eyes Category 4 Hurricane Felicia and a Stubborn Enrique
Felicia is the storm that rules the Eastern Pacific Ocean this week, but Enrique refuses to give up. Felicia is a major hurricane with sustained winds near 140 mph, and Enrique is still hanging onto tropical storm status with 50 mph sustained winds. view more (2009-08-07)
Telemedicine Via Satellite - The Way Forward
ESA is one step nearer to establishing a Telemedicine via Satellite Programme thanks to a constructive meeting with telemedicine experts that took place at ESRIN early last week. Last Monday the European Space Research Institute (ESRIN) hosted a one-day Road Map Symposium to report on the work that had been done since the last meeting a year ago... view more... (2004-07-13)
Ghosts found in space
For Halloween this year, watch out for some real ghosts cruising through space, destined never to `cross over` to the other side. These ghosts are scientific satellites that have reached the end of their mission and experts have turned off all their instruments. Other satellites cross over into the Earth`s atmosphere to be burned up on reentry,... view more... (2002-10-31)
World first in satellite-based monitoring of large lake areas
Satellite sensors operating in the visible wavelength region are now in use for the monitoring of oceanic waters. For the first time ever, Finnish scientists have demonstrated the practical usability of satellite data for the simultaneous monitoring of water quality in large lake and coastal regions. The project was carried out by the Laboratory... view more... (2002-04-15)
Tropical Storm Koppu Poised for China Landfall
The latest tropical storm in the western Pacific formed on Sunday, and is poised to make landfall in mainland China on Tuesday, near typhoon strength (74 mph). view more (2009-09-15)
NASA satellite sees Olaf stretch out and fizzle over northwestern mainland Mexico
Tropical Storm Olaf wasn't given much of a chance when he was born, and he never did make it to hurricane strength before fizzling out late Saturday night. view more (2009-10-06)
Turtles hitchhike across the disciplines
Many species of turtle travel huge distances during their lives, especially open-water feeders such as leatherbacks. A new approach, to be presented at the Society for Experimental biology on Tuesday 1st April, combines field observations with oceanographic theories to attempt to answer some of the puzzles in open-sea turtle biology. Oceanic data... view more... (2003-03-31)
