Adult Stem Cells Use Special Pathways To Repair Damaged Muscle, MU Researchers Find
When a muscle is damaged, dormant adult stem cells called satellite cells are signaled to "wake up" and contribute to repairing the muscle. View More (2011-12-02)
Final preparation tests for Artemis
ESA’s Artemis spacecraft has just completed a rigorous schedule of final inspections and testing at the European launch site in Kourou, French Guiana. The spacecraft and its sensitive instruments have been protected from the unfriendly tropical conditions in a special, environmentally-sealed testing chamber to ensure that it will eventually leave Earth in peak condition. Artemis arrived... View More (2001-04-26)
Receivers key to Galileo success
Europe's navigation system requires new receiver designs to make use of the transmissions from its satellite constellation. European industry is developing and supplying receivers for the in-orbit validation of the system. View More (2006-10-27)
Typhoon Ma-on's Eye Seen in NASA Satellite Images
The eye of a tropical cyclone is an indication of a strong storm, and Typhoon Ma-on's eye was apparent in visible and infrared imagery captured by NASA's Aqua satellite. Ma-on just achieved Category Four status on the Saffir-simpson scale that measures hurricane intensity. View More (2011-07-18)
Three more DMC spacecraft prepare for launch
SSTL are preparing for the launch of three more spacecraft in the international Disaster Monitoring Constellation - the first cluster of satellites dedicated to monitoring disasters from space. The three spacecraft, each with a mass of approximately 100kg, have arrived at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia and SSTL engineers are now on-site preparing for a 26 September launch onboard a...

NASA satellites see Tropical Storm Frank powering back up near Mexico
Tropical Storm Frank was wavering overnight in the eastern Pacific Ocean, just off the southwest Mexican coast, and recent satellite data has confirmed that convection has strengthened within the storm. View More (2010-08-25)
Road testing technologies of the future
ESA is offering industry the opportunity to use a van fully equipped to demonstrate the next generation of advanced mobile multimedia equipment and applications. The van can be used as a standard test platform. It offers the user ample space, electrical and computing power as well as a comfortable working environment. Over the past few months, the Joanneum Research institute, under contract... View More (2002-12-03)
NASA Satellite and Aircraft Data See Danny's Center Reform Farther North
NASA satellite imagery and aircraft data revealed Tropical Storm Danny's center reformed a little farther north than it was yesterday. View More (2009-08-27)
Satellites aiding disaster relief
Recent demonstrations have shown how making use of digital processing technology on board satellites can help emergency services share information more effectively during natural disasters. SkyPlexNet is a project funded by ESA Telecom. The technology that has been developed makes it possible to access satellite resources directly and manage the distribution of the multimedia contents to the... View More (2004-06-24)
One year in orbit for first DMC satellite - AlSAT-1
AlSAT-1, the first satellite launched for the international Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), has completed one year of orbital operations. The satellite, built under a know-how transfer programme at Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), was launched on 28 November 2002 for Centre Nationale Techniques Spatiales in Algeria. The first 12-months of satellite operations has seen the... View More (2004-01-15)
NASA Satellite Sees Rainfall in Ebbing Edzani
NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite captured a clear picture of what's happening within Tropical Storm Edzani, including where the rainfall is happening and where the center of the storm has been breached. Edzani is fading and will continue to fade over the next couple of days. View More (2010-01-13)
Still safely at sea, Edzani now a tropical storm
The weekend wasn't very helpful to Edzani, once a powerful Cyclone, now weakened to a tropical storm in the Southern Indian Ocean. That's because of cooler waters and increased wind shear. View More (2010-01-12)
Tropical Storm Oli kicking up waves in south Pacific
Tropical Storm Oli is headed between the islands of Bora Bora and Raratonga in the South Pacific, while maintaining its intensity as a tropical storm. Infrared satellite data from NASA's Aqua satellite reveals that Oli is a large storm, so those islands will experience gusty winds, some moderate to heavy rainfall, and heavy swells along their coasts.
