Steps Towards Warship Invisibility
London, UK (SPX) Mar 05, 2008Naval warships might look like all-powerful vessels but they are also highly vulnerable to being spotted by the enemy. That fear of being detected has led the military to develop new stealth technologies that allow ships to be virtually invisible to the human eye, to dodge roaming radars, put heat-seeking missiles off the scent, disguise their own sound vibrations and even reduce the way ... more NASA Views Landing Site Through Eyes Of Future Moon Crew 
Pasadena CA (SPX) Feb 28, 2008NASA has obtained the highest resolution terrain mapping to date of the moon's rugged south polar region, with a resolution to 20 meters (66 feet) per pixel. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., collected the data using the Deep Space Network's Goldstone Solar System Radar located in California's Mojave Desert. The imagery generated by the data has been incorpo ... more US, Czech on cusp of missile shield deal 
Washington (AFP) Feb 27, 2008US President George W. Bush and Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek said Wednesday they were on the cusp of reaching agreement on a radar for a planned US missile shield that has angered Russia.

He later explained the hold-up related to environmental guidelines for any US ... more Czech PM in US touts missile shield plan 
Washington (AFP) Feb 26, 2008Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek insisted a planned US missile defense radar in his country is crucial for security and accused its ex-Soviet master Russia of scrambling to retain influence by opposing the scheme. Russia "will probably not like to give up their sphere of influence over central Europe which I believe personally is the main reason of their protest against the missile ... more Joint ESA And Russian Team In Moscow Ready To Support Jules Verne 
Moscow (ESA) Feb 25, 2008When the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle is launched in early March it will use several key spacecraft hardware items such as the docking and refuelling systems, and the Kurs radar, procured in Russia.

Moscow (UPI) Feb 6, 2007 Unlike the Russian radars deployed in Azerbaijan, Belarus and Kazakhstan, the Ukrainian systems are not manned by Russian officers. Both the qualifications of the radars' civilian Ukrainian personnel and the data they provide to Russia are questionable. The Sevastopol radar is the larger of the two problems because unlicensed radio stations of vessels fishing in the Black Sea use the same ... more Kiev Radar Row Set To Inflame Tensions Part One
