Critical Polar Data Flows Briskly To ResearchersWashington DC (SPX) Sep 03, 2010 Operation IceBridge - a NASA airborne mission to observe changes in Earth's rapidly changing polar land ice and sea ice - is soon to embark on its fourth field season in October. The mission is now paralleled by a campaign to bring data to researchers as quickly as possible and to accelerate the analysis of those changes and how they may affect people and climate systems. "Anyone can access the wealth of IceBridge data online, and do so free of charge and without a formal request," said Michael St ... read more |

NASA Sensors To Guide Spacecraft To Safe, Distant LandingsHampton VA (SPX) Aug 20, 2010 NASA is developing technologies that will allow landing vehicles to automatically identify and navigate to the location of a safe landing site while detecting landing hazards during the final descent to the surface. This is important because future missions - whether to the Moon, an asteroid, Mars or other location - will need this capability to land safely near specific resources that are located in potentially hazardous terrain. Langley Research Center, Hampton, Va., has designed three lig ... read more |
