In parallel with this, an older spacecraft, SOHO is now providing SEP predictive capability developed over the operation during 10 years operation over the last maximum in the solar activity cycle.New Viewpoints and Vantages from recent NASA Missions ( annualspacewx)...
Returning the booster in this way allows SpaceX to quickly refurbish and reuse the booster for multiple flights, helping it to significantly reduce the cost of space missions. SpaceX already does this with its much smaller Falcon 9 rocket, though in this case, the first stage lands on the g...
Coupling NASA Advanced Multi-Scale Modeling and Concurrent Visualization Systems for Improving Predictions of High-Impact Tropical Weather (CAMVis) Among scenarios in Decadal Survey Missions (DSM) report (NRC, 2007), "Extreme Event Warning" is one of top priority scenarios. This focuses on "discover...

In the early days of the development of small satellite technology transfer activity South Africa developed and launched the first satellite in all developing countries namely SunSat satellite, developed by Stallenbush University. SUNSAT was launched on a NASA sponsored Delta II launch on February 23...
current practices have a 10 percent chance of one or more deaths over a decade".In other words,according to researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia,there's roughly a one-in-ten chance that the next decade will witness falling space junk...
Flagship satellite missions like NASA's Terra and Aqua and ESA's Envisat with their high temporal (<3days) and spectral (15-36 bands) resolutions opened new opportunities for routine monitoring of various aspects of terrestrial ecosystems at global scale and have provided greater understanding of ...
The private company wants to create a fleet of reusable rockets to reduce the cost of launching to space in the future. Instead of using a booster once and discarding it, SpaceX plans to use its rockets multiple times for many different missions, refurbishing them in between. ...
Modern geodetic technologies, including high-precision ground-based gravity measurements, satellite gravimetry, satellite altimetry, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar(InSAR), offer a wealth of observations for monitoring global hydrological processes with exc...
