ISS cooling system considering by NASA
"The questions for the day tasks were only partially fulfilled," said NASA is using on its website. According to ISS Manager Michael Suffredini expected a third deployment in space is necessary. Doug Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson began their spacewalk at 13.19 BST clock. They spent eight hours and three minutes outside the space station. They succeeded this does not remove a faulty pump. According to NASA, it was not to solve the pump of the ammonia lines. When a valve came out of toxic ammonia, then had the repair work will be interrupted. According to the U.S. space agency experts to advise the mission control on

Revisiting the Owl Nebula
The planetary nebula M 97, although well known, has revealed
a morphology unexpectedly on an image made with the telescope Gemini 8-meter
diameter. The head of the observer program is the winner of a competition for
Canadian students!
An extrasolar planet may have formed like a star
Some planets might rise like stars : it is the conclusion
which seems to result from the observation of a gas giant in orbit around a
brown dwarf in the region of star formation well known in the constellation
Taurus to 460 years- light around the Sun .
Nec invents the remote control without pile
If the piles are engineering problems and economic for user, they represent also an ecological catastrophe. According to Ademe, in 2005,28.592 tons of piles were marketing, that is to say approximately a billion units! On this mass of extremely polluting worn piles, only 9.049 tons were collected the same year, that is to say a [...]
Interview with NASA’s New Science Chief
Brian Berger has an interview with NASA’s new Science Chief, Ed Weiler. Someone needs to inform him about using private suborbital rockets for science.
Mars Rovers Spirit May be Put to Sleep
Due to $4 million in budget cuts in NASA Mars exploration program, project leaders are thinking of putting one of the rovers in hibernation. NASA officials said, however, that it will not be necessary to and shutting down either Spirit or Opportunity is “not an option.” The tough little rovers have gone way beyond their [...]
Evidence of Liquid Water and Ammoniaon Titan
Scientist have found evidence of an ocean of liquid water and ammonia on Titan. Dr. Lorenz’s used 19 passes of Cassini’s Synthetic Aperture Radar over Saturn’s largest moon and analyzed the data. The ocean is believed to be 62 miles below Titan’s atmosphere.
Salt Found on Mars
NASA has found an ancient salt deposit in the southern highlands of Mars. Salt is an indicator of where water once flowed and could point to a good place to search for ancient life
NASA to Focus on Outer Solar System
Speaking at the 39th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, director, Dr. Michael Griffin, said they agency plans to hold back on Mars and focus more of its resources on the outer solar system.
Yet Another Extrasolar Planet Found
Researchers have found another planet, HAT-P-7 b, a 1.5 Jupiter mass planet roughly 1000 light years from Earth.
Going to Alpha Centauri
Charles Q. Choi discusses how to get to Alpha Centauri. With new findings suggesting it may harbor rocky worlds, this could be a exciting trip.
Great Planet Debate
Next August the “Great Planet Debate” will be held at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory. Apparently the definition of a planet the IAU created last year just hasn’t stuck with people. Critics say the letter of the definition leaves Jupiter out as a planet.
Titan, the New Middle East
Apparently Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, has hundreds of times more liquid hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth. Maybe we can talk big oil into funding some trips. (That is only a half joke, because new space would certainly jump on that trip).
NASA’s Deep Impact Begins Hunt for Alien Worlds
GREENBELT, Md., Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — NASA’s Deep Impact
spacecraft is aiming its largest telescope at five stars in a search for
alien (exosolar) planets as it enters its extended mission, called EPOXI.
