Heather Inslee has been fascinated with space since third grade and has a goal of working for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. She doesn’t plan to be tied to the ground — she wants to “explore a different world” as an astronaut.
Astrophysicists have solved a mystery that led some scientists to speculate that the distribution of certain gamma rays in our Milky Way galaxy was evidence of a form of undetectable "dark matter" believed to make up much of the mass of the universe.
A team of astrophysicists has solved a mystery that led some scientists to speculate that the distribution of certain gamma rays in our Milky Way galaxy was evidence of a form of undetectable “dark matter” believed to make up much of the mass of the universe.In two separate scientific papers, the most recent of which appears in the July 10 issue of the journal Physical Review Letters, the ...
Low Earth Orbit Vehicle Will Study X-Ray Polarization Orbital Sciences Corporation announced Thursday that it has been selected by the NASA to design, manufacture, integrate and test a new low-Earth orbit (LEO) space science satellite intended to study X-ray polarization in space. Under the $40 million contract, Orbital will provide the spacecraft bus and conduct mission operations for the ...
The European Space Agency and NASA have agreed to create a Mars Exploration Joint Initiative, European space officials said. The agreement -- reached late last month in Plymouth, England, during a meeting of ESA and NASA officials -- will provide a framework for the two agencies to define and implement their scientific, program and technological goals on Mars, the ESA said. The two space ...
The University of Colorado-Boulder has received a $42 million contract from NASA to develop an instrument that will orbit Earth to monitor changes in the sun's radiation and help evaluate climate change. The instrument to be developed by CU's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics will fly on the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System. The lab will design, ...
