THE DAY IN SPACE
________________
In today's space news from SpaceRef:
-- TDRS-1, Pioneer NASA Spacecraft Celebrates, 20 Years of Service
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=794
"NASA's original Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-1), launched from the Space Shuttle Challenger
(STS-6) in April 1983, went from almost being "lost in space," to a remarkable example of the agency's 'can do,
never quit' attitude. On April 4, TDRS-1 celebrates 20 years of outstanding service and 'firsts.' "
-- New Launch Date for Deep Impact
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=8659
"A new launch window is announced for the Deep Impact project, the first mission to look deep inside a comet.
Technical and management issues, including contamination in the propulsion system and late deliveries of key
spacecraft components, resulted in delays in the pre-flight testing schedule."
-- Giant Cosmic Lens Reveals Secrets of Distant Galaxy
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=11155
"Using the National Science Foundation's Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope and helped by a gigantic
cosmic lens conveniently provided by nature, an international team of astronomers has discovered that a
young galaxy had a central disk of gas in which hundreds of new stars were being born every year -- at a time
when the Universe was only a fraction of its current age."
-- It's a nova, it's a supernova, it's a HYPERNOVA
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=11154
"Two billion years ago, in a far-away galaxy, a giant star exploded, releasing almost unbelievable amounts of
energy as it collapsed to a black hole. The light from that explosion finally reached Earth at 6:37 a.m. EST on
March 29, igniting a frenzy of activity among astronomers worldwide. This phenomenon has been called a
hypernova, playing on the name of the supernova events that mark the violent end of massive stars."
-- INSAT-3A Launch Planned for April 9th
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=8663
"ISRO's multipurpose satellite, INSAT-3A, is scheduled for launch by Ariane-5 launch vehicle of Arianespace in
the early hours of April 9, 2003 (as per IST), from Kourou in French Guyana."
