________________
In today's space news from SpaceRef:
-- Launch Advisory: ICESAT/CHIPSAT Launch retargeted for Saturday, Jan. 11
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=7508
-- CHIPS Ready to Operate on "The Bubble"
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10327
"NASA's Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer (CHIPS) satellite, scheduled for launch on Jan. 11, will
study the gases and dust in space, which are believed to be the basic building blocks of stars and planets."
-- NASA, Carnegie Mellon University Sign Lease for New Campus
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10311
"NASA and Carnegie Mellon University have reached agreement on a long-term lease under which the
university will renovate 19,000 square feet of space for its growing West Coast campus in Buildings 23 and 24
on the historic Shenandoah Plaza at Moffett Field, Calif."
-- Astronomers Detect a Faint Debris Trail in the Andromeda Galaxy
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10326
"The discovery of a faint trail of stars in the nearby Andromeda galaxy offers new evidence that large spiral
galaxies have grown by gobbling up smaller satellite galaxies."
-- Physicists set lower age of universe at 11.2 billion years: New age provides evidence for prescence of a dark
energy
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10325
"Cosmologists from Case Western Reserve University and Dartmouth College have continued efforts to refine
the age of the universe by using new information from a variety of sources to calculate a new lower age limit
that is 1.2 billion years higher than previous age limits."
-- Rosetta - A Comet Ride to Solve Planetary Mysteries
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10329
"ESA's Rosetta will be the first mission to orbit and land on a comet. Comets are icy bodies that travel
throughout the Solar System and develop a characteristic tail when they approach the Sun. Rosetta is
scheduled to be launched on-board an Ariane-5 rocket in January 2003 from Kourou, French Guiana."
-- Astronomers Identify New Type of Star
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=10328
"Astronomers Steve B. Howell of the University of California, Riverside and Tom Harrison of New Mexico State
University, Las Cruces, announced today at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Seattle, Wash., that
they have confirmed the existence of a new variety of stellar end-product. This previously unknown type of star
has some properties similar to brown dwarf stars and may help astronomers understand some of the recently
discovered extra-solar planets in close proximity to their suns."
