Paris, France (ESA) Apr 20, 2009Studying satellite radar data from ESA's Envisat and the Italian Space Agency's COSMO-SkyMed, scientists have begun analysing the movement of Earth during and after the 6.3 earthquake that shook the medieval town of L'Aquila in central Italy on 6 April 2009. Scientists from Italy's Istituto per il Rilevamento Elettromagnetico dell' Ambiente (IREA-CNR) and the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisic ... more Radar offer for US missile system still on: Russia 
Baku (AFP) March 12, 2009Russia's offer of a Soviet-era radar station in Azerbaijan as an alternative to US missile defence sites in Eastern Europe remains on the table, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Thursday. "The offer remains on the table. If American and European partners express interest we are ready to return to this question," he said during a visit to the Azerbaijani capital Baku. 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. The 6.6 magnitude earthquake occurred at Bam, Iran, in 2003 on a buried fault and killed more than 30,000 people. National Aeronautics and Space Administration geophysicist Eric Fielding and colleagues analyzed radar images ... more |

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 
Grand Rapids MI (SPX) Feb 26, 2009GE Aviation has been awarded a development contract from the U.S. Navy for AV-8B aircraft radar display computers.

Arlington, Va. (UPI) Feb 4, 2009 The U.S. Missile Defense Agency does not expect any particular layer or weapon system to function perfectly, but if each one can achieve some reasonable degree of success, then the number of warheads that actually reach targets will be very small. The MDA's budget for all its activities currently totals about 1 percent of annual defense spending. The Sea-Based X-Band Radar is a mobile ... more EADS favoured to win Saudi contract: report
