India To Launch Indigenous Oceansat-2 Satellite Next Month
New Delhi, India (XNA) Jul 02, 2009
India will launch its indigenous Oceansat-2 satellite, along with six European nano satellites, next month, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said Wednesday. "Oceansat-2, weighing around 970 kg, is an in-orbit replacement to Oceansat-1, which has completed 10 years of service. It will carry an Ocean Color Monitor and a Ku-band pencil beam Scatterometer. In addition, it will ... read more

DMCii Provides Researchers With Free Satellite Imagery
Guildford, UK (SPX) Jul 02, 2009
DMCii has announced the selection of 5 science projects that will receive free satellite imagery from the DMC satellite constellation. Satellite imaging is a powerful tool for monitoring land use. It offers a valuable "eye in space" for monitoring and recording environmental change on a global basis. The winning projects cover a wide range of important topics: from monitoring changes in ... more

    Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jun 30, 2009
    Imagine watching all of the tropical depressions, storms and hurricanes of 2008 as they formed in the Atlantic Ocean Basin and either faded at sea or made landfall. Thanks to NASA technology and satellite data coupled with data from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operated satellite, you can see the tracks of storms from Arthur to Paloma from birth to death. There ... more

    Most Complete Topographic Map Of Earth Released
    Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 30, 2009
    NASA and Japan released a new digital topographic map of Earth Monday that covers more of our planet than ever before. The map was produced with detailed measurements from NASA's Terra spacecraft. The new global digital elevation model of Earth was created from nearly 1. 3 million individual stereo-pair images collected by the Japanese Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection ... more

    TerraSAR-X Image Of The Month: Piton de la Fournaise
    Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jun 29, 2009
    The image, taken by the German radar satellite TerraSAR-X, shows the volcano 'Piton de la Fournaise' (Furnace Peak) in the south of the island of La Reunion (Indian Ocean). This is the last active volcano on the island and is 2631 metres high. By means of very precise repeat-pass interferometric measurements, TerraSAR-X is able to detect even small movements of the Earth's surface, thus ... more

    GOES-O Reaches Orbit
    Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) Jun 29, 2009
    The GOES-O satellite lifted off from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida at 6:51 p.m. EDT atop a Delta IV rocket. From a position about 22,300 miles above Earth, the advanced weather satellite will keep an unblinking eye on atmospheric conditions in the Eastern United States and Atlantic Ocean. The GOES-O weather satellite is on its own following a successful ... more

    TerraSAR-X Passes Two Year Mark
    Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jun 19, 2009
    TerraSAR-X was launched on 15 June 2007 and has gone on to have a unique and highly successful track record. In contrast to optical systems, the radar technology on this satellite enables it to record images through cloud and at night, meaning that it is able to operate continuously, right around the clock. TerraSAR-X is Germany's first radar satellite and is, at the same time, the first ... more

    Scientists Search For A Pulse In Skies Above Earthquake Country
    Pasadena CA (SPX) Jun 18, 2009
    When a swarm of hundreds of small to moderate earthquakes erupted beneath California's Salton Sea in March, sending spasms rumbling across the desert floor, it set off more than just seismometers. It also raised the eyebrows of quite a few concerned scientists. The reason: lurking underground, just a few kilometers to the northeast, lays a sleeping giant: the 160-kilometer-(100-mile) long ... more

    GOES-O Moves Ever Closer To Launch
    Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) Jun 11, 2009
    The GOES-O spacecraft, encapsulated in the Delta IV fairing, was rolled out of the Astrotech Facility, Titusville, Fla. and transported to the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) on June 7, 2009. GOES is an acronym for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite. GOES-O was removed from the Astrotech facility and shipped in the silent of the night, as to minimize the impact ... more

    ESA Extends Envisat Satellite Mission
    Paris, France (ESA) Jun 08, 2009
    ESA Member States have unanimously voted to extend the Envisat mission through to 2013. Envisat - the world's largest and most sophisticated satellite ever built - has been providing scientists and operational users with invaluable data for global monitoring and forecasting since its launch in 2002. "The decision to extend the Envisat mission operations, taken during the last ESA Earth ... more
