Bangalore, India (PTI) Mar 30, 2009The Indian Space Research Organisation has asserted that the Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT), expected to be launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle from Sriharikota spaceport next month, is not an Israeli one. Denying reports in a section of the press that RISAT is from Israel, ISRO Chairman G Madhavan Nair said it is an Indian spacecraft. Asked if RISAT is an Israeli satelli ... more 15 Years Of Satellite Data Over Mt. Etna 
Paris, France (ESA) Mar 30, 2009Using radar images acquired by ESA satellites from 1992 to 2006, scientists have for the first time been able to monitor the long-term behaviour of Mt. Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. This unprecedented time series of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations from ESA's ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat satellites provided crucial information for understanding how the volcano's su ... more India Set To Launch Imaging Satellite With Israeli Support
Bangalore, India (PTI) Mar 23, 2009India is all set to launch a radar imaging satellite (RISAT) built with "substantial inputs" from the Israel aerospace industry from Sriharikota spaceport, an ISRO official said.

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 Scientists Expose Buried Fault That Caused Deadly 2003 Quake
Pasadena CA (SPX) Mar 05, 2009Using satellite radar data, NASA-funded scientists have observed, for the first time, the healing of subtle, natural surface scars from an earthquake that occurred on a "buried" fault several miles below the surface-a fault whose fractures are not easily observed at Earth's surface. Reporting in of Nature, geophysicist Eric Fielding of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Cali ... more Scientists Expose Buried Fault That Caused Deadly 2003 Quake
