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 Indian Lunar Orbiter Sends Back Images To Establish Water Presence On Moon 
New Delhi (XNA) Apr 16, 2009A radar imaging camera on board Indian lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan-1, has sent back some amazing images which will give scientists definite clues about the presence or absence of water on the Moon surface, according to a report by local tabloid Mail Today Friday. The camera, known as Mini- SAR, is one of the key payloads of the mission and has been developed by scientists from the United St ... more Russia Says Iran No Threat To Us As New Sanctions Imposed

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 Scientists Expose Buried Fault That Caused Deadly 2003 Quake
