Satellite road management being developed in Lisbon
The European Space Agency is working with Portuguese organisations on how space technology can improve road safety. Each year in Europe, 40 000 people die and 1 700 000 are injured in road accidents. Statistics show that one in three Europeans will become road accident victims during the course of their lifetime. These appalling figures are from... view more... (2003-11-21)
NRL sensor provides critical space weather observations
Launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., aboard an United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle, Oct. 18, 2009, the Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) developed by NRL's Space Science Division and Spacecraft Engineering Department offers a first of its kind technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from... view more...

Delta II Rocket Coming Together for NASA's GLAST Satellite Launch
The Delta II 7920-H, or "Heavy," rocket that will launch NASA's Gamma-ray Large Area Telescope (GLAST) satellite is in the process of being assembled on Launch Pad 17-B at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. view more (2008-04-15)
Imaging The Invisible: A New Look At Space Weather
How is it possible to image tiny particles that are normally invisible? What happens to our planet and its surroundings when huge solar storms collide with Earth's magnetic shield? These are just some of the questions that will be addressed this week during the UK/Ireland National Astronomy Meeting in Dublin. Our Earth is continually buffeted by a... view more... (2003-03-31)
Warm winter also in the Arctic
Central Europe is not the only place where the past, warm winter has caused record temperatures. Unusually mild temperatures also prevented ice formation in the Arctic, specifically in the region around Spitsbergen. view more (2007-03-30)
ESA backing SATMODE, interactivity via satellite for consumers
The European Space Agency (ESA) has joined forces with a team led by SES Astra (Lux) on a SATMODE development contract totalling EUR 49 million. SATMODE is a satellite return link system providing 'always-on' connectivity between digital TV set top boxes - the interactive version of commercial satellite TV receivers - and content providers. This... view more... (2003-01-31)
Greeks get space-based help in wake of deadly fires
Cleanup and rebuilding teams responding to the devastation across Greece caused by this summer's deadly fires are getting help from space. view more (2007-09-24)
University of the Basque Country researchers believe methane storms on Titan
The detailed exploration of Titan with space missions began a couple of years ago and the presence of bright polar clouds and dry riverbeds on this satellite of Saturn has intrigued astronomers ever since. view more (2006-07-31)
Discovery of a satellite around the transneptunian object 1998 WW31
Alain Doressoundiram (Observatoire de Paris) and Christian Veillet (CFH Institute) have just discovered that the transneptunian object 1998 WW31 is in fact a double object. It is during their multi-color photometry and recovery of transneptunian objects program that they made this discovery. This program is carried out on the Canada-France-Hawaii... view more...

NASA's Swift, Fermi Probe Fireworks From a Flaring Gamma-Ray Star
Astronomers using NASA's Swift satellite and Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope are seeing frequent blasts from a stellar remnant 30,000 light-years away. view more (2009-02-11)
NASA's AURA satellite peers into Earth's ozone hole
NASA researchers, using data from the agency's AURA satellite, determined the seasonal ozone hole that developed over Antarctica this year is smaller than in previous years. view more (2005-12-07)
Set your own course for the stars
To get around, satellites sailing through space use the same tools that ancient mariners used to navigate the inhospitable oceans - the stars. However, soon, instead of sending back details of their position to experts here on Earth, spacecraft will be able to calculate and adjust their course all by themselves. ESA now has special software that... view more... (2002-11-12)
PROBA images available on web
ESA`s first small satellite PROBA for in-orbit technology demonstration is now well under way and turning out great pictures of the Earth. "We are very happy with PROBA and the results from this small satellite. It has now been in orbit for eight months and platform, instruments and ground segment are performing well," says Frederic Teston,... view more... (2002-07-03)
Arctic sea ice continues decline as temperatures rise
New satellite records monitored by a national team of collaborators show a four-year pattern of extremely low summer sea-ice coverage in the Arctic that continued in September 2005, which may be the result of warming temperatures and earlier spring melting. view more (2005-09-29)
Warming climate may put chill on arctic polar bear population
Some travel agencies touting Arctic tours have been revving up their recent promotions to tourists about the increased likelihood they will spot polar bears in this region where several populations of polar bears live. view more (2006-09-14)
ESA satellite imagery credited with breakthrough in earthquake research
California scientists credit synthetic aperture radar imagery from the European Space Agency with making possible new ways to depict earthquake fault zones and uncovering unusual earthquake-related deformations. Their study of imagery from a 1999 earthquake in the western US could provide a new way to identify active faults and help track when the... view more... (2002-09-19)
