- To the Moon: The Integrators
- The historic Apollo 11 mission in July of 1969 culminated in the first manned moon landing. While many of the proud Americans who were involved in that project are no longer with us 40 years later, the technologies they built still live on, will be further refined, and will return...

- Will the Earth fry future moon astronauts?
- Researchers working for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission have discovered that the Earth's magnetic tail could be harmful to future astronauts. The moon stays inside Earth's 'magnetotail' for six days every month -- during full moon. This can have consequences ranging from lunar 'dust storms' to strong electrostatic discharges, according...

- North America polluted by East Asia?
- In a recently released study, NASA researchers have confirmed that air pollution travels around the world. They've used new satellite sensor capabilities to measure pollution traveling from East Asia to North America between 2002 and 2005. According to NASA, the amount of pollution arriving in North America is equivalent to...

- A nanotechnology award for NASA
- NASA is rarely associated with nanotechnologies. But one of its researchers working at the NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center just received a Nanotech Briefs Nano 50 award for a manufacturing process for high-quality carbon nanotubes CNTs. Because of its ability to produce bundles of CNTs without using a metal catalyst,...

- NASA monitors lightning inside hurricanes
- According to a new study from NASA, it is possible to forecast a storm's intensity by monitoring the lightning strikes near a hurricane's eye. And it can be done weeks before the storm arrives with the help of 'highly-sensitive sensors located thousands of miles from the storm.' Today, the Pacific...

- NASA checks coastal waters from space
- Using NASA satellite imagery, researchers at the University of South Florida USF in St. Petersburg have found that it is possible to monitor coastal water quality. This means that water quality can be checked daily rather than monthly as done by traditional methods which involves expensive boat surveys. This information...

- In case you dont remember, the Webb Space Telescope will replace Hubble, probably after 2011, and should be able to catch phenomena which happened 13.5 billion light-years ago (read more for a Hubble vs. Webb comparison). At these distances, the instruments onboard will need to be more precise than ever....
