Moscow p ... more China Afloat In The Indian Ocean Part Two 
Hong Kong (UPI) Mar 11, 2009 China's Sea Lion radar can search for more than 100 targets at once and track 50 of them at the same time. Its search range for combat aircraft appears to be around 500 to 550 kilometers (300 to 330 miles). The design requirements for both Russian and Japanese phased array radar systems are such that even if 10 percent of the elements are lost, the radar system can continue to function ... more Scientists see earthquake surface healing 
Pasadena, Calif. (UPI) Mar 5, 2009 U.S. space agency scientists say they've used satellite data to observe, for the first time, the healing of subtle, natural surface scars from an earthquake.

Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 27, 2009Titan's vast dune fields, which may act like weather vanes to determine general wind direction on Saturn's biggest moon, have been mapped by scientists who compiled four years of radar data collected by the Cassini spacecraft. Titan's rippled dunes are generally oriented east-west. Surprisingly, their orientation and characteristics indicate that near the surface, Titan's winds blow toward ... more GE Selected For AV-8B Harrier Technology
