ESA Director General comments on Columbia Accident Investigation Board report
Commenting on the Columbia accident report delivered to NASA by the independent Investigation Board, Jean-Jacques Dordain, Director General of the European Space Agency, said... "The loss of Space Shuttle Columbia and her crew on 1 February has deeply affected the space community worldwide. Despite the heavy toll taken by this accident, we... view more... (2003-08-29)
Innovative Satellite System Proves its Worth with Better Weather Forecasts, Climate Data
Preliminary findings from a revolutionary satellite system launched earlier this year show that the system can boost the accuracy of forecasts of hurricane behavior, significantly improve long-range weather forecasts, and monitor climate change with unprecedented accuracy. view more (2006-12-12)
Stevens faculty release study on free-space optical communication in Optics Express
Three members of the faculty at Stevens Institute of Technology recently collaborated on a paper focusing on free-space optical communication, which appears in the latest issue of Optics Express, a premiere optics journal currently in circulation. view more (2009-03-18)
Naval Research Laboratory's ANDE-2 deployed from Space Shuttle Endeavour
The Naval Research Laboratory's satellite suite, the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment 2 (ANDE-2), was deployed from NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 30, 2009. view more (2009-08-06)
European Space Policy Institute founded in Vienna
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Austrian Space Agency (ASA), on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT) of the Federal Republic of Austria, today founded the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) in Vienna. The Institute, whose creation was recommended to the ESA Director General in 1999, is to become the... view more... (2003-11-26)
For hurricanes, storms, raindrop size makes all the difference
When Tropical Storm Gaston hit Richmond, Va., in August 2004, its notable abundance of small and mid-sized raindrops created torrential rains that led to unexpected flash flooding throughout the city and its suburbs. New research from NASA has concluded that tropical cyclones like Gaston produce rain differently than another class of storms called... view more... (2008-06-10)
Impact of global warming on weather patterns underestimated
The impact of global warming on European weather patterns has been underestimated, according to a new report published in Nature this week. view more (2005-09-22)
Focus On Solar Outbursts
While scientists and aurora spotters marvel at the explosions on the Sun, everyone responsible for the hundreds of satellites that serve human needs, from weather observations to car navigation, wishes that these potentially damaging events were more predictable. So do the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, who recently had to... view more... (2003-11-19)
Pioneering space station experiment keeps reactions in suspense
A revolutionary container-less chemical reactor, pioneered by the space research team at Guigné International Ltd (GIL) in Canada with scientists at the University of Bath, has been installed on the International Space Station. view more (2008-12-12)
Scientists pinpoint the 'edge of space'
Where does space begin? Scientists at the University of Calgary have created a new instrument that is able to track the transition between the relatively gentle winds of Earth's atmosphere and the more violent flows of charged particles in space - flows that can reach speeds well over 1000 km/hr. And they have accomplished this in unprecedented... view more... (2009-04-10)
Joint NASA-French satellite to track trends in sea level, climate
A satellite that will help scientists better monitor and understand rises in global sea level, study the world's ocean circulation and its links to Earth's climate, and improve weather and climate forecasts is undergoing final preparations for a June 15 launch from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base. view more (2008-05-21)
And now the weather ... on Mars
Blinding dust storms can seriously ruin your plans for a landing on Mars. ESA is adapting the global climate models that we use to forecast our weather on Earth for the turbulent conditions that Mars offers its future visitors. You could hardly call the weather on Mars pleasant, and presently it is far from predictable. As well as having an... view more... (2002-07-03)
Flawless launch of a super Meteosat
Almost 25 years after the November 1977 launch of the very first Meteosat, the first representative of the next generation (MSG-1) of European weather satellites has been placed in orbit and is being made ready to lend new dimensions to the monitoring of our planet`s climate. On 28 August at 1945h local time (2245h GMT), a European Ariane-5... view more... (2002-08-29)
Arctic Ice More Vulnerable to Sunny Weather, New Study Shows
The shrinking expanse of Arctic sea ice is increasingly vulnerable to summer sunshine, new research concludes. view more (2008-04-22)
Space is big, but not big enough
According to Douglas Adams, in his famous book The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, space is big. However, it seems near-Earth space is not big enough. In December 2001, the Space Shuttle pushed the International Space Station away from a discarded Russian rocket booster that was due to pass uncomfortably close. Space litter is a growing problem... view more... (2002-09-26)
Magnetic Tremors Pinpoint the Impact Epicenter of Earthbound Space Storms
Using data from NASA's THEMIS mission, a team of University of Alberta researchers has pinpointed the impact epicenter of an earthbound space storm as it crashes into the atmosphere, and given an advance warning of its arrival. view more (2009-05-29)
Developing a better flight plan for weather forecasting
At MIT, planning for bad weather involves far more than remembering an umbrella. Researchers in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics are trying to improve weather forecasting using robotic aircraft and advanced flight plans that consider millions of variables. view more (2008-12-12)
Cloud radar -- predicting the weather more accurately
The weather. It's the one topic of conversation that unites Britain - umbrella or sun cream? Now scientists at the Science and Technology Facilities Council have developed a system that measures the individual layers of cloud above us which will make answering the all-important weather questions much easier in future. view more (2008-09-25)
Royal interest in University space project
During their visit to Leicester on 1 August 2002 Her Majesty the Queen and HRH Prince Philip will be shown the British Beagle 2 space mission to Mars which will be on display in the Planets Gallery of the National Space Centre. Beagle 2 is a unique British-led space probe, designed to search for evidence of life on the Red Planet. Beagle 2 will be... view more... (2002-07-26)
More new ideas for satellite navigation systems at summer school
University students studying space or related topics met recently in Alpback, Austria for the 25th Summer School. From 17 to 26 July, two students from each of ESA's 15 Member States plus Canada, got together with 30 experts on space to discuss and develop new futuristic ideas for the innovative use of satellite navigation systems. The Summer... view more... (2001-08-10)
