May 3, 2002
------------
OUTERPLANETS
- Congress Set To Defy White House Over Pluto Probe
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/outerplanets-02g.html
Los Angeles - May 2, 2002 - The seemingly endless seesaw struggle over whether to launch a flyby probe to Pluto may be nearing a dramatic conclusion as Congress seeks to defy the Bush Administration and its recently appointed NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe who opposes any further funding of a Pluto probe this decade.
-----------
ENERGY TECH
- NASA To Test Microwave Effects On Plant Growth
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/ssp-02b.html
Moffett Field - May 03, 2002 - Microwaves derived from solar power and transmitted by orbiting satellites to electric power stations on Earth may someday enable U.S. energy self-sufficiency, but is this method safe for local plant life?
---------
SPACEMART
- TRW Tries To Outflank Northrop As Hostile Bid Faces Test
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/trw-02n.html
New York (AFP) May 2, 2002 - TRW was scrambling to shore up its defense against against a hostile offer by Northrop Grumman that would create a powerhouse military contractor ahead of a key test Friday at a shareholder meeting. In the latest volley, Cleveland, Ohio-based TRW said Wednesday that Northrop was using "misstatements" in an effort to sway TRW shareholders to keep its 6.7 billion-dollar offer alive.
--------
NUKEWARS
- India Gives Thumbs Up To Nuclear Strategic Force
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/nuclear-india-pakistan-02o.html
New Delhi (AFP) May 2, 2002 - The Indian government has given the military the green light to put in place a strategic force to take command of the country's nuclear arsenal, officials said Thursday.
-------------
SPACE TOURISM
- South African Space Tourist "Better Than Tito": Medical Expert
http://spacedaily.com/news/020502122157.pn7w1nne.html
MOSCOW (AFP) May 02, 2002 - The world's second space tourist, South African Mark Shuttleworth has adapted better to life onboard the space station than his predecessor Dennis Tito, a Russian medical expert said on Thursday. "Mark, in contrast to Dennis, has a much greater capacity for work, and so he practically immediately started carrying out the schedule of (scientific) experiments," said the expert, who works with Russia's space flight programme.
---------
MARSDAILY
- Space Travelers Should Take Care To Avoid Getting Radiated
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/mars-base-02i.html
Moscow - Apr 30, 2002 - Space expeditions will fly to the Mars in fifteen years if all prerequisites are successfully met. For the future interplanetary expedition Moscow scientists have developed an efficient system to protect the crew from space radiation during the long-term travel to the Mars and back.
- Sending In The RATs To Mars
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/mars-robot-02e.html
Pasadena (JPL) Apr 30, 2002 - NASA and JPL are sending RATS to Mars to work as field geologists. A RAT is not quite a furry little friend, but rather a high-tech robot with diamond teeth, called a Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT).
---------
COSMOLOGY
- Adding Trillions Of Years To The Life Of The Universe
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/cosmology-02c.html
Princeton - May 01, 2002 - A new theory of the universe suggests that space and time may not have begun in a big bang, but may have always existed in an endless cycle of expansion and rebirth.
----------
TECH SPACE
- Super-Fast Flashes Could Help Scientists See into a Nucleus
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/materials-02n.html
Stony Brook - May 01, 2002 - By using an ultra-powerful laser to set off energy bursts lasting a tiny fraction of a second, scientists may finally be able to see -- and perhaps control -- what happens in the heart of an atom, its nucleus. This system, which its theorists call a "lasetron," could also briefly produce a massive magnetic field resembling that of a white dwarf star, opening the door to important new experiments in astrophysics.
-----------------
EARTH OBSERVATION
- Massive Icebergs May Affect Antarctic Sea Life And Food Chain
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/icebergs-02c.html
Greenbelt - Apr 29, 2002 - NASA-funded research using satellite data has shown large icebergs that have broken off from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf are dramatically affecting the growth of minute plant life in the ocean around the region -- plant life vital to the local food chain.
----------
TERRADAILY
- Ice Coring Team Heads For Alaska
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/icecores-02b.html
Columbus - Apr 26, 2002 - Glaciologist Lonnie Thompson hopes that once his latest expedition ends in early summer, he will have one of the so-far missing pieces to the global climate change puzzle -- a record of ancient weather trapped inside ice from Alaskan glaciers that could date back thousands of years.
- NASA, University Scientists See Prediction Of Solar Storms In Future
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/solarstorm-02e.html
Huntsville - Apr 30, 2002 - Much like tornado watchers look to the skies for clues that a twister is forming, NASA and university scientists are watching the Sun in an effort to better predict space weather -- blasts of particles from the Sun that impact the magnetosphere, the magnetic bubble around the Earth.
- Origin Of Bipedalism Closely Tied To Environmental Changes
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/life-02v.html
Champaign - May 01, 2002 - During the past 100 years, scientists have tossed around a great many hypotheses about the evolutionary route to bipedalism, to what inspired our prehuman ancestors to stand up straight and amble off on two feet.
------------
MISSILE NEWS
- Taiwan's Drills Draw Spy Ships From China, Other Countries: Report
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/taiwan-02a.html
Taipei (AFP) Apr 30, 2002 - Archfoe China and other countries have sent spy ships to waters around Taiwan ahead of the island's biggest annual military exercise this week, it was reported Tuesday.
