NASA's twin gravity-mapping moon probes received new names Tuesday (Jan. 17), reflecting their mission to study the changing pull of Earth's natural satellite. Now to becalled "Ebb" and "Flow,"the tandem Gravity Recovery And Interior Laboratory (or Grail) spacecraft arrived in lunar orbit ...
NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide fell into the ocean after taking off, the space agency is launching another almost exactly like it — this time on a different rocket.The $468 million mission(任务) is designed to study the main driver of climate change resulting from smokestacks (烟囱)...
How often do you get to launch your name into a star? How often does NASA send probes to explore the sun? If your answer to all these questions is NEVER, then you win the honor of adding your name to an SD card bound for the center of our solar system. We’re already on the li...
Well, in a really twisted way For those of you unfamiliar with the Great Space Race (and hula hoops), Sputnik was the world's first man-made satellite, launched in 1957. In response to this Soviet flight breakthrough, the U.S. government formed the Advanced Research Projects Agency to ...

Building upon the successful missions of GOME and SCIAMACHY, the Ozone Monitoring Experiment (OMI) was launched by NASA onboard the EOS Aura satellite in July 2004. Here we present the results of recent comparisons between OMI NO2 operational data (standard product) and correlative ground-based ...
[1] The Dutch-Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) launched on the NASA Aura satellite in July 2004 offers unprecedented spatial resolution, coupled with contiguous daily global coverage, for space-based UV measurements of sulfur dioxide (SO2). We present a first validation of the OMI SO2...
The atmospheric observations were made by the Wind Imaging Interferometer, launched on NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite in 1991; these continued until 2003. The wind reversals involved westward winds of as strong as 450 m/s. The electron densities were of total electron content integrated...
The International Astronomical Union (IAU), the global authority for all planetary and satellite nomenclature, approved the new monikers this week. The names were proposed by the science team for NASA's Messenger spacecraft, which has beamed back hundreds of pictures of Mercury from its orbit arou...
