Tropical Storm Parma headed to Vietnam
Tropical Storm Parma crossed over the Hainan Island, China over the weekend and is now poised for a final landfall in Vietnam around 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. view more (2009-10-14)
Is the Universe older than expected?
An analysis of 13.5 thousand million-year-old X-rays, captured by ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, has shown that either the Universe may be older than astronomers had thought or that mysterious, undiscovered 'iron factories' litter the early Universe. ESA`s Norbert Schartel and colleagues from the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische... view more... (2002-07-10)
European low-ozone event reveals worrying trend
For several days last week, the protective ozone layer over Europe thinned considerably. Scientists monitoring ozone coverage using a rapid mapping technique based on data from the GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) instrument aboard ESA`s ERS-2 satellite detected finger-like ozone thinning over Europe. "From 28-30 January, we observed a... view more... (2002-02-06)
News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known. view more (2007-12-21)
NASA, CU-Boulder airborne expedition chases Arctic sea ice questions
A small NASA aircraft completed its first successful science flight Thursday in partnership with the University of Colorado at Boulder as part of an expedition to study the receding Arctic sea ice and improve understanding of its life cycle and the long-term stability of the Arctic ice cover. view more (2009-07-20)
NRL scientists detect 'milky sea' phenomena
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory's Marine Meteorology Division in Monterey, CA, (NRL-Monterey), working with researchers from Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and the National Geophysical Data Center, presented the first satellite detection of a phenomenon known as the "milky sea." view more (2005-10-18)
British Export Award for SSTL Woman Director
SSTL's Marketing & Business Development Director, Dr Wei Sun, has been chosen as the 2004 BEXA-WiB Achievement Award winner in recognition of her outstanding contribution to UK exports. Sir Stephen Brown, Chief Executive of UK Trade and Investment, presented the award to Dr Sun at a ceremony held at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in... view more... (2004-05-21)
Researchers Make More Accurate Observation of Earth System Possible
Researchers at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft have succeeded in modelling the rotational behaviour of two satellites with unprecedented accuracy. This makes it possible to model the orbit of the satellites much more accurately and this means that changes on earth observed by the satellite are also more accurate, for example,... view more...

Arctic sea ice minimum shatters all-time record low, report University of Colorado scientists
Scientists from the University of Colorado at Boulder's National Snow and Ice Data Center said today that the extent of Arctic sea ice appears to have reached its minimum for 2007 on Sept. 16, shattering all previous lows since satellite record-keeping began nearly 30 years ago. view more (2007-09-21)
ASU researchers use NASA satellites to improve pollution modeling
Detecting pollution, like catching criminals, requires evidence and witnesses; but on the scale of countries, continents and oceans, having enough detectors is easier said than done. view more (2007-12-18)
Satellites can help Arctic grazers survive killer winter storms
Rain falling on snow sounds like a relatively harmless weather event, but when it happens in the far north it can mean lingering death for reindeer, musk oxen and other animals that normally graze on the Arctic tundra. view more (2008-03-19)
ENVISAT: EU Supports New Space Applications for Global Monitoring of Environment & Security
ENVISAT, successfully launched this morning from the European spaceport at Kourou, French Guyana, by an Ariane 5 rocket, is the largest and most sophisticated Earth observation satellite ever built in Europe. From an altitude of 800 km, the 8.2-ton Environment Satellite - Europe's new "eyes in space" - will deliver an unprecedented... view more... (2002-03-01)
UK satellite mission to improve accuracy of climate-change measurements gains global support
TRUTHS (Traceable Radiometry Underpinning Terrestrial- and Helio- Studies) is a proposed satellite mission, led by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), to improve tenfold the accuracy of earth observation satellites used to deliver climate change data. view more (2007-08-20)
Crash of Russian rocket destroys Montana's first satellite
The first satellite built in Montana was destroyed Wednesday (July 26) when the Soviet-era intercontinental ballistic missile it was riding on crashed shortly after liftoff in Kazakhstan. view more (2006-07-28)
New space observations poised to save lives from floods, landslides
Using NASA's advanced Earth-observing satellites, scientists have discovered a new opportunity to build early detection systems that might protect thousands from floods and landslides. view more (2006-05-25)
Researchers say Arctic sea ice still at risk despite cold winter
Using the latest satellite observations, NASA researchers and others report that the Arctic is still on "thin ice" when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region. A colder-than-average winter in some regions of the Arctic this year has yielded an increase in the area of new sea ice, while the older sea ice that lasts for... view more... (2008-03-19)
NASA-conceived map of Antarctica lays ground for new discoveries
A team of researchers from NASA, the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Science Foundation and the British Antarctic Survey unveiled a newly completed map of Antarctica today that is expected to revolutionize research of the continent's frozen landscape. view more (2007-11-28)
NASA finds Greenland snow melting hit record high in high places
A new NASA-supported study reports that 2007 marked an overall rise in the melting trend over the entire Greenland ice sheet and, remarkably, melting in high-altitude areas was greater than ever at 150 percent more than average. In fact, the amount of snow that has melted this year over Greenland could cover the surface size of the U.S. more than... view more... (2007-09-26)
SSTL gets ready to launch two new satellites
Tsinghua-1 & SNAP-1, the two latest satellites built at SSTL, have been shipped from the UK to the launch site at Plesetsk, Northern Russia. They are being readied for launch at midday Wednesday June 28 onboard a COSMOS rocket as secondary payloads alongside the Russian Nadezhda COSPAS-SARSAT satellite. The Tsinghua-1 microsatellite, a... view more... (2000-06-27)
Polar explorers use satellite broadband to stay in touch
A team of young explorers from the Climate Change College are on a ten day field trip, participating in ESA's CryoSat validation experiment on the Greenland Ice Sheet. view more (2006-05-08)
