How Microbes Could Help Colonize MarsMoffett Field CA (SPX) Sep 10, 2010 Tiny rock-eating microbes could mine precious extraterrestrial resources from Mars and pave the way for the first human colonists. Just don't expect them to transform the red planet's surface into a new Earth on a short deadline, researchers say. One of the most promising planetary colonizers comes in the form of cyanobacteria. The ancient bacteria helped create a habitable Earth with oxygen at least 2.5 billion years ago, and have since colonized practically every possible environment while relyi ... read more |

Arizona Stands In For The Moon And Mars
Mesa AZ (SPX) Sep 02, 2010For two weeks every year, NASA's Desert Research and Technology Studies group (Desert RATS) conducts state-of-the-art technology development tests in the Arizona desert at Black Point Lava Flow in anticipation of future human and robotic exploration. Teams of engineers and geologists from several NASA laboratories and a variety of private and academic partners are participating in this year's te ... more Cluster Turns The Invisible Into The Visible
Paris, France (ESA) Sep 02, 2010Cluster has spent a decade revealing previously hidden interactions between the Sun and Earth. Its studies have uncovered secrets of aurora, solar storms, and given us insight into fundamental processes that occur across the Universe. And there is more work to do. The aurora, those dancing lights in the polar skies, are but the visible manifestation of an invisible battle taking place abov ... more Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Makes Last Stop On Earth
Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) Aug 31, 2010A new experiment designed to reveal the origin and structure of the universe has reached its last stop on Earth before it's set to ride into orbit aboard space shuttle Endeavour early next year. The long-awaited Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS) arrived Aug. 26 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, secured in the belly of a U.S. Air Force C-5M cargo plane that arrived at the launch ... more |

Shipwrecks Of MarsSydney, Australia (SPX) Aug 26, 2010 Mars exploration is preparing for another surge. NASA and the European Space Agency are pooling their resources for a powerful new set of missions later this decade, and next year, we will see the launch of NASA's Mars Science Laboratory rover, Russia's Phobos-Grunt mission, and China's Yinghuo orbiter. With several active missions currently exploring Mars, we've taken our attention away from some of the unsolved mysteries of the past. Mars remains the most dangerous place in deep space for robot ... read more |
