Golf, health and ESA
The Irish Open Golf Tournament, that took place in Cork last weekend, was the scene of some excellent golf, a welcome win for Colin Montgomerie and the first use of the Forward Emergency Control Vehicle (FECV) developed by ESA together with the Irish Southern Health Board. This strange-sounding piece of equipment, that integrates terrestrial and satellite communications for telemedicine, is the... View More (2001-07-03)
System 92L's chances for development are waning
Satellite imagery captured a visible look at System 92L earlier today, and it seems to be running into an environmental road block: upper level winds that are lessening its chances for development into a tropical cyclone. View More (2010-06-16)
New tool clears the air on cloud simulations
Climate models have a hard time representing clouds accurately because they lack the spatial resolution necessary to accurately simulate the billowy air masses. View More (2011-10-27)
Coming to a cinema near you - courtesy of ESA
We`ve got digital television. Next comes digital cinema. Thanks to ESA, cinema-goers in five European countries will be able to get an early taste of the new technology later this summer. As part of an ESA-funded project, ten cinemas in Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK will be screening movies transmitted and played digitally rather than by the conventional analogue method.

NASA's Aura satellite measures pollution 'butterfly' from fires in central Africa
Fires raging in central Africa are generating a high amount of pollution that is showing up in data from NASA's Aura Satellite, with the ominous shape of a dark red butterfly in the skies over southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola. View More (2011-07-18)
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.

A new system for locating and capturing satellites in space
Scientists at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) have developed a new system for docking and capturing space satellites based on robotics and computer vision technology to autonomously guide a space vehicle to dock and capture the satellites. View More (2010-10-14)
Galileo becomes a reality for Europe
ESA PR 33-2003. The European Space Agency is now able to finalise the conditions for participation in the Galileo navigation programme and to approve the Galileo Joint Undertaking foundation act to be soon signed by ESA and the European Union. The agreement reached among ESA member states today clears the way for the official launch of the legal entity which will have the task of coordinating... View More (2003-05-26)
Los Alamos and Surrey Satellite Contract for Cibola Flight Experiment Platform
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 Alamos. The contract with SSTL is valued at $11.8...

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)
Why oceans behave like water in a bath
SATELLITE measurements of sea levels have uncovered a bizarre effect. The sea seems to be rising faster near the coast than in mid-ocean. Simon Holgate and Philip Woodworth of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, in Bidston, UK, found this discrepancy using the Topex satellite, launched in 1992. The satellite measures sea level by bouncing microwaves off the ocean and timing the return trip.... View More (2004-04-21)
NASA: Songda becomes a super typhoon
As predicted, Typhoon Songda intensified and was a super typhoon with wind speeds estimated at over 130 knots ( ~145 mph) when NASA's TRMM satellite passed directly over head on May 26, 2011 at 0806 UTC (4:06 a.m. EDT). View More (2011-05-27)
Galileo moves forward
The GalileoSat development and in-orbit validation phase is well under way and the European Space Agency (ESA) has just released its procurement process to Industry indicating that the first completely civil satellite navigation system is moving forward. Galileo Implementation: a phased approach The Galileo Programme is being implemented in three phases: Definition phase Development and... View More (2004-07-19)
European hot spots and fires identified from space
Hot spots across Southeastern Europe from 21 to 26 August have been detected with instruments aboard ESA satellites, which have been continuously surveying fires burning across the Earth's surface for a decade. View More (2007-08-28)
GOES-14 (O) moving into on-orbit storage around the Earth
The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite named GOES-14, is being placed in on-orbit storage this month to await its call to duty. View More (2009-12-01)
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 the catastrophe with the appropriate authorities.

NRL's ANDE-2 Launches Aboard STS-127
The Naval Research Laboratory's satellite suite, the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment 2 (ANDE-2), launched aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 15, 2009. View More (2009-07-20)
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)
First Galileo satellite travels to launch site
GIOVE A, the first Galileo satellite, departed from ESA's test facility at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in The Netherlands on the morning of 29 November, bound for the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. View More (2005-12-02)
It's a Boy? Tropical Depression 18-E Forms in the Eastern North Pacific
At 11 a.m. EDT on October first, the eighteenth tropical depression of the Eastern Pacific hurricane season was born. View More (2009-10-02)
