ESA to build a deep space ground station in Cebreros (Spain)
ESA PR 45-2003. Communicating with ESA's spacecraft such as Mars Express, or SMART-1, Rosetta and Venus Express - yet to be launched - will be even easier and more effective when the new Cebreros ground station, near Avila (Spain), becomes operational in September 2005. On 22 July, in Madrid, the... view more (2003-07-18)

University of Alberta space research to solve aurora mystery
On February 15, NASA will launch the largest number of scientific satellites ever sent into orbit aboard a single rocket. A handful of Alberta scientists will be at Kennedy Space Center watching and waiting. For Dr. Ian Mann and Dr. John Samson, researchers in the Department of Physics at the... view more (2007-01-11)

European Node officially handed to NASA
Six years of hard work came to fruition when ESA formally transferred ownership of Node 2 to NASA on 18 June 2003. This took place in the Space Station Processing Facility of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The ceremony was attended by Alan Thirkettle, Head of the Development-Department of... view more (2003-06-26)

First European Node for the International Space Station passed acceptance review
ESA PR 24-2003. Node 2 will be formally delivered to the European Space Agency by ASI, the Italian Space Agency in mid-May 2003. Last week the first activity related to that delivery, the Acceptance Review, was successfully conducted at the Alenia Spazio facility in Turin, with the participation... view more (2003-04-08)

Cassini flyby of Saturn moon offers insight into solar system history
