The future of the "Mir"- station
Why the "Mir"-station on the 11th of August didn't suddenly hit the Paris, as Paco Rabano predicted? Because if the station would lose its orbit by herself, she will go down for a half of a year. In the case of an artificial impulse in correct direction, she will reach the Earth in a week. This scenario is scheduled for the February 2000. But the deputy general constructor of...

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's LAMP reveals lunar surface features
New maps produced by the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter reveal features at the Moon's northern and southern poles in regions that lie in perpetual darkness. LAMP, developed by Southwest Research Institute® (SwRI®), uses a novel method to peer into these so-called permanently shadowed regions (PSRs), making visible the invisible. View More (2012-01-16)
