NASA will soon develop a new optical, laser-based communication system that will allow transmitting high-resolution images and videos from Mars and even from distances beyond Moon, in just one minute, which currently takes around 90 minutes.
NASA on Tuesday announced that it has located the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) that crashed down to Earth last week. They say the defunct satellite is way out into the southern Pacific Ocean, far away from land. The UARS made a fiery re-entry into the Earth's shortly after midnight on Saturday.
After days of speculation, NASA officials announced Tuesday the location of the fallen Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite that crashed down to Earth.The Pacific Ocean - far away from landfall.
Radiation and bone loss are not the only health risks that astronauts staying for long period of time in space are exposed to. A new study of astronauts has showed that astronauts who have spent months in space face the problem of blurring vision.
A dead NASA Upper Atmosphere Research satellite fell on Earth on Saturday,k but it is not known where the crashed remains are.
It flew for long 20 years and nine days, and when it made its homecoming, nobody knows its whereabouts. Almost six years after ceasing operation, the decommissioned NASA satellite finally landed somewhere on Earth, but even NASA doesn't know the exact landing location and may never know.
NASA said 26 components of its Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), weighing a total of 1,200 pounds, could have survived the fiery fall and landed on the surface of the Earth. The space agency said the UARS fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT on Friday and 1:09 a.m. Saturday.
NASA said UARS satellite debris that came crashing to Earth today appears to have dropped into the Pacific Ocean away from the western coast of the U.S. though the agency doesn't know exactly where it landed and may never know.
A 6-ton defunct NASA satellite has fallen back to Earth Saturday, but officials are not sure of the exact location of the debris that rained into the Pacific Ocean.
The NASA satellite falling from space has landed in Canada, near Calgary, but nobody was hurt, according to reports.We can now confirm that #UARS is down! reported the official NASA Twitter account. Debris fell to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23, and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24.
Those around the world afraid that NASA's falling UARS satellite might come crashing down upon them can rest easy. NASA said the satellite initially penetrated the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean and most of it is believed to have burned up. NASA has not confirmed where it landed, but the agency said re-entry occurred during a two-hour period.
NASA officials and research teams spent the past few weeks playing a guessing game on where and when debris from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will land.
The latest estimates Friday morning delayed the satellite's time of re-entry and increased the possibility that Carter may encounter debris. On Thursday, NASA officials said that there was no chance that the debris would land in North America.
A defunct NASA satellite is expected to plunge back to earth on Friday, raising concerns that blazing hot debris may shower down on the unsuspecting terrestrial population.
Finally NASA’s dead satellite will hit earth today. Now it is just a matter of few hours when a few parts of the world will witness a spectacular sky show.
A defunct satellite originally meant to analyze the Earth’s ozone layer is expected to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere and crash land Friday, according to reports from NASA released Thursday.
The weather forecast for North America is a good one on Friday: Little chance of falling satellite debris.That may seem like a lark, but it's not, since NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, or UARS, will likely crash into Earth on Friday. The satellite is the size of a bus, and it's the biggest to make an uncontrolled re-entry into Earth's atmosphere in decades, NASA officials say.
A dead 6.5 ton NASA UARS satellite would make its re-entry in to Earth on Friday, Sept.23, bringing along a chance to watch a spectacular sky show.
The six-ton defunct Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will plunge to Earth sometime on Friday afternoon EDT, and the U.S. wil be spared any debris, NASA said in its latest update.
NASA has unveiled plans of $1.6 billion to buy a complete range of spacecrafts, launchers, mission operations and ground support by the middle of the decade to transport astronauts to the International Space Station and low Earth orbit.
Science teacher James Drake compiled 600 images of the Earth that were taken by astronauts from space since the 1960s to create a time-elapsed 60-second video which gives the illusion of how astronauts from the International Space Station see Earth.
China is all set to launch its first unmanned space module on Tuesday. The world's third biggest country will launch the test module into orbit via Long March II-F rocket, which is developed by China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology.
Ever wondered what it would be like soaring high above the Earth, or even circling the planet on the International Space Station? Thanks to science educator James Drake, you're in luck.
