After crossing Australia in record-breaking time to win the World Solar Challenger, Nuna is now touring Europe. The tour, which commenced in Stockholm, will take Nuna to 35 cities in 12 European countries. Nuna, in its special trailer complete with audio and video equipment, will be on display in schools or museums from 8.30 in the morning until... view more... (2002-11-08)
New tool for weather forecasters
A new processing system now operational in ESA ground stations will help weather forecasters to benefit once more from unique all-weather data from the ERS-2 scatterometer. Although the highly successful ERS global mission is formally over, the spacecraft has been continuing to provide coverage over the north Atlantic. Weather experts are keen... view more...

Physiological Effects of Reduced Gravity on Bacteria
An article in Journal of Applied Microbiology investigates how bacteria respond when they are subjected to environmental alterations, such as those of space stations, which feature lowered effects of gravity. view more (2005-03-10)
Chang'e-1 - new mission to Moon lifts off
A bold new mission to the Moon was launched today by the Chinese National Space Administration (CNSA). Chang'e-1 blasted off from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, Sichuan, atop a Long March 3A rocket. view more (2007-10-25)
Texting costs are 'out of this world'
A University of Leicester space scientist has worked out that sending texts via mobile phones works out to be far more expensive than downloading data from the Hubble Space Telescope! view more (2008-05-13)

Herschel Space Telescope's SPIRE instrument package makes first-light observations
A scientific instrument package developed in part by the University of Colorado at Boulder for the $2.2 billion orbiting Herschel Space Observatory that was launched in May by the European Space Agency has made its first successful observations, targeting two star-forming galaxies near the Milky Way. view more (2009-07-13)
Scientists bring Space into the classroom
Have you ever searched for water on the moon? Or measured the depth of a Martian crater? Classroom Space is an innovative project from space scientists at the University of Leicester that will provide school children across the UK with the opportunity to tackle these and other exciting challenges. Classroom Space is being launched at the... view more... (2002-01-09)
European space systems support management of natural and technological disasters
The European Space Agency, ESA, and the French Space Agency, CNES, signed a charter on 20 June 2000 to promote cooperation among space system operators in deploying their systems in the event of major natural or technological disasters. The charter was signed by Mr Antonio Rodot' , ESA's Director General, and Mr Gérard Brachet, Director... view more... (2000-06-22)
Dry autumns and winters may lead to fewer tornadoes in the spring, says UGA researcher
Global warming will likely mean more unpredictable weather, scientists say, and a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia pins down, possibly for the first time, how drought conditions in an area's fall and winter may effect tornado activity the following spring. view more (2009-06-24)
New research forecasts better weather forecasts
A Purdue University researcher and his team have used improved satellite imaging and powerful computer modeling to more accurately forecast the likelihood and intensity of storms and tornados. view more (2006-03-01)
Hurricane Katrina: Phone Home
Though New Orleans residents were told to evacuate days before the arrival of Hurricane Katrina, no one could have predicted the real extent of the devastation. view more (2009-07-07)
A "Swarm" of satellites for a unique look inside the Earth
ESA's Earth Observation Programme Board has just decided which of the six Earth Explorer candidate missions, presented earlier in April at the User Consultation Meeting, will be developed and launched. Swarm, an Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission, is a constellation of satellites which will study the Earth's magnetic field. A further selection... view more... (2004-06-03)
Space X-ray telescope arrives for tests at RAL
An X-ray telescope weighing half a tonne, due for launch on a Russian spacecraft in 1998, arrived at CLRC's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory today for thermal tests. With conditions in space so different from those on Earth (space is an icy-cold vacuum), it is vital to test any instrument before launch to make sure that it can work in a vacuum at... view more...

Scientists Test System to Forecast Flash Floods along Colorado's Front Range
People living near vulnerable creeks and rivers along Colorado's Front Range may soon get advance notice of potentially deadly floods, thanks to a new forecasting system being tested this summer by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo. view more (2008-07-23)
Many weather factors needed for accurate climate change predictions
Current climate change impact models that consider only one weather variable, such as increasing temperature, sometimes spawn unsubstantiated doomsday predictions, according to researchers at Purdue and North Carolina universities. view more (2006-11-07)
Major advances in predicting storms causing flooding
Heavy rainfall and floods are important disruptive natural hazards with worldwide social and economic impacts. The flood damage across Europe that occurred this August is put at billions of pounds. Experts from around the world are examining major scientific developments in storm and rainfall forecasting from 2 to 6 September 2002, at an... view more... (2002-08-28)
Cosmic rays detected deep underground reveal secrets of the upper atmosphere
Cosmic-rays detected half a mile underground in a disused U.S. iron-mine can be used to detect major weather events occurring 20 miles up in the Earth's upper atmosphere, a new study has revealed. view more (2009-01-22)
Keeping neighbours at a distance
The boundaries between our neighbours and ourselves are used to negotiate our social identities and relationships. The space around us is used to define 'good' neighbours and communities. Dr. Elizabeth Stokoe, Jodi Wallwork and Dr Bianca Petkova, of University College Worcester, call for more research into links between neighbour relations, space... view more... (2001-07-12)
