Science/Astronomy:
* The Reality of Antimatter
http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/antimatter_sun_030929.html
Antimatter sounds like the stuff of science fiction, and it is. But it's also
very real. Antimatter is created and annihilated in stars every day. Here on
Earth it's harnessed for medical brain scans.
* Astronotes: Space Rock Hits Indian Village, Injures One
http://www.space.com/astronotes/astronotes.html
Hundreds of people fled their homes when a meteor struck their village in
eastern India, injuring three people and destroying two houses, a state
minister
said Sunday.
* Image of the Day: Looking Back at Return to Flight with Anticipation
http://www.space.com/imageoftheday/image_of_day_030929.html
It was 15 years ago today that shuttle Discovery lifted off on the STS-26
mission, returning NASA to flight nearly three years after the 1986 Challenger
disaster.
-----------------------------------
Spaceflight:
* Europe's First Moon Mission Launched
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/ariane5_launch_030929.html
Europe's first science mission to the Moon was launched into space Saturday.
* Europeans Look to Catch Up with U.S. in Earth Observation
http://www.space.com/spacenews/spacenews_businessmonday_030929.html
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Union (EU) Commission have set
a joint goal of building an integrated network of Earth observation sensors for
environmental and security monitoring by 2008. The program, called Global
Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES), began in late 2001 and is
scheduled to conclude its initial phase by the end of 2003 with a report to be
published in late November.
* Two X Prize Teams Poised for Manned Spaceflight
http://www.space.com/businesstechnology/technology/xprize_ap_030927.html
In a race to achieve the first privately funded manned spaceflight, two teams
of
rocket engineers are poised to compete for the $10 million X Prize by launching
people to the edge of space and bringing them back safely twice within a
two-week period.
* NASA Seeks Ways to Inspect Shuttle Wing Panels at KSC
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/sts114_fl_030927.html
Extensive factory inspections of wing panels between flights could add as much
as three months to the time it takes to prepare a space shuttle orbiter for
launch, NASA and contractor engineers said Friday.
* Kosmos 3M Booster Carries Six Satellites to Earth Orbit
http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/kosmos_launch_030927.html
A half-dozen small satellites were sent into Earth orbit early Saturday riding
a
Russian rocket launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, according to
international
news reports.
