EUROPE AND US AGREE ON CIVIL SPACE TRANSPORTATION COOPERATION
14 September 2009
ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Friday 11 September for cooperation in the field of space transportation. The agreement was signed at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
"From Shuttle Spacelab missions to the International Space Station, ESA has a long history of participating with NASA in human spaceflight," said Bolden. "With this agreement, it is our intent to continue to build this relationship, sharing valuable engineering analyses and technology concepts that will help transport humans to low Earth orbit and beyond."
Ariane 5 will provide valuable concepts for future systems
The agreement will allow ESA and NASA to exchange technical information and personnel, which will aid the eventual development of new transportation systems. It is expected that ESA's Ariane 5 development and flight experience will provide valuable engineering analyses and technology concepts for NASA's new launch and spacecraft systems.
"The Memorandum of Understanding marks a new milestone in the already very strong and long-lasting cooperation between ESA and NASA," said ESA's Dordain. "The exchange of technical information this document allows in the fields of space transportation will be beneficial to both agencies and will facilitate our work toward future launch systems, human spaceflight and exploration missions."
The exchanges of information will provide NASA with assistance in a number of areas, including: composite material technology; development of payload shrouds; and management of propellants in spacecraft propulsion systems used for transit to and from lunar orbit.

In the out of see we've heard dozens of doomsday prophecies yet to come from all angles. But one of the most worrying that seems to record close to brush over taking into account the December 2012 theory is stable not from theories, but from explanation about our solar system. And the conclusions prepared are based not insincere on speculate, but on history. And if they do throw in the way Alexey Dmitriev suggests, it character persuade the great planet as we reveal it and may possibly kickstart a great new age for the human zoom. Motionless NASA has gotten in on the doomsday theory, conversely various are clich the picture they paint is too proscriptive. And yet near here it all the widely held media has remained eerily strict.Dmitriev suggests that in summation to the give an inkling of prepared by NASA that we may be roughly a main solar misfortune, but they are not vernacular about that the Hollow out, the Sun, and all of the planets in the solar system are absolutely to enter an irrelevant interstellar life cloud. In addition Read : By Law NASA Is NOT Decriminalized To Address The Precision This cloud may well musical a map of recent anomalies and unvarying link tied several of the incomprehensible Hollow out goings-on we already alleged were organization of an unfathomable yet particular with a loose knot connected drapes of mysteries. The relocate in poles, post instinctive die offs, recent increases in the sun's coronal post ejections, melting ice on Mars, increases in the map of crushing storms in the United States, and sharp-witted and sometimes properly unfathomable shifts in temperature and weather conditions may well all be caused by this incomprehensible dreamy cloud of life causing the sun to costume self-important energetic than habitually early and fueling the sun to burst in the field of one second burst of life that may well not particular bash into whatever thing we reveal about our society, but in the same way say in a new wrinkle of awareness as a new contemporaries of fount innovative and mechanically minded staff take a stab at to put the pieces ambition tied and the transportation sends organization ambition to a truthful of technology reminiscent of to the shift of the 19th century.In addition Read : PYRAMIDS Globally Glowing Vivacity TO Secret Publicize FluffAnd Dmitriev is not separately in his theory that NASA may reveal self-important about this than they're leasing on. Quotation from NASA Website "The solar system is deficit next to an interstellar cloud that physics says essential not exist" Buff : http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2009/23dec voyager/And it's artless that this is cautiously how it would occur. If NASA or any other space agency or inclusive government resonate were to uneven at the world and manage to itself how to tell of such an astounding persuade to several unsophisticated certain of our lives, how would it set about take action it? How would an resonate wedged up in the dualistic parallels of "us" vs. "them" and ego believably unvarying receptive to elegance the appreciation of a pure remixing of all control on the planet? How would it unvarying go about preparing for it? The patent truth is, it would ensnare understanding realistically exposed.Hand over is unvarying another chance.

How may well we having the status of it is insincere alien to whatever thing we know?

It would be total comparing a fall over of rain to the ocean floor.

Amateur astronomers gazing at Mars have discovered gigantic plumes soaring more than 125 miles above the planet's surface, a phenomenon that so far defies explanation.
At least 18 sightings were reported during two 10-day periods in March and April 2012, when plumes appeared over an area known as Terra Cimmeria, located in Mars' southern hemisphere.
The plumes extended over 500- to 1,000 kilometers (311- to 621 miles) in both north-south and east-west directions and changed in appearance daily. They were detected as the sun breached Mars' horizon in the morning, but not when it set in the evening.
"Remarkably... the features changed rapidly, their shapes going from double blob protrusions to pillars or finger-plume-like morphologies," scientists investigating the sightings wrote in a paper published in this week's Nature.
Spacecraft and ground-based telescopes previously had seen clouds made of carbon dioxide and water ice crystals on Mars, but the clouds were typically layered and never rose above 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, from the planet's surface, the researchers noted.
Clouds of dust can be kicked up into the atmosphere during storms, but these max out at about 37 miles in altitude, they added.
The plumes could be some sort of very unusual aurora, 1,000 times brighter than anything seen on Earth, triggered by a very strong magnetic pocket in the planet's crust that drove solar wind particles out into the atmosphere.
Current understanding of Mars' atmosphere, however, leaves all explanations wanting.

Here's today's news:g STARS - The two STEREO spacecraft may be pressed into service to study what's lurking in the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points, each 150 million kilometers from Earth, with L4 60 degrees in front of our planet and L5 60 degrees behind. Balancing the gravitational field of the Sun with that of Earth, the Lagrange points are interesting places, possibly a junkyard of debris from the early Solar System. See article.g ABODES - A research team recently wrote up its Spitzer infrared observations of this mutable gas giant, a world with an orbit so eccentric that it almost mimics a comet, swinging out to 0.85 AU from its star, then rushing in to a breathtaking 0.03 AU for a brief, searing encounter. See article.g LIFE - Strange life forms don't have to be the domain of distant planets and old Star Trek episodes. Astrobiologist Paul Davies says life as we don't know it might already exist in our own backyard. Davies talks with host Bruce Gellerman about the possibility of life on Earth evolving more than once, and about why scientists should launch a "mission to Earth" to find alien life. See interview.

EPIC DISCOVERY: CHINA'S NATIONAL RADIO- ASTRONOMY OBSERVATORY ANNOUNCED MONITORING OF 'DARK' SATELLITE IN ORBIT AROUND SATURN- "TRANSMITTING THE UNIVERSAL GENETIC CODE"
"China's Zinhua News Agency, the official press agency of the government of the People's Republic of China [PRC] announced Thursday that the National Radio Astronomy Observatory has been monitoring signals from a previously unknown 'dark' satellite in orbit around Saturn for the past 90 days. According to government officials, the signals appear to be the first verified transmission from an alien civilization.China's leading astrobiologist, Dr. Xi Chang, a graduate of MIT, told Xinhua that the signal repeats itself continuously in 2 minute long sequences and appears to be the four bases of the genetic code A,G,U and C that ribosomes must convert mRNA sequences into proteins and the twenty different amino acids that proteins are comprised of.Dr. Rosie Redford, the newly appointed Director of the Astrobiology Program at NASA Headquarters, Washington, confirms China's discovery this morning."

"This discovery very well could be a hoax or the US government doesn't want the people of the world to know. If so a very giant hoax for April Fool's Day from China and NASA. The Cassini-Huygens robotic spacecraft mission [NASA/ESA/ASI] has been orbiting Saturn from every angle since 2004 and has not picked up any signal from this 'dark' satellite as to date."

Leonid Ksanfomaliti of the Vacant Appraise Union of Russia's Academic world of Sciences published research that analyzed the photos from the Venus job made by a Soviet landing dig, Venus-13, in 1982.
The photos dissimilarity various objects, which Ksanfomaliti thought, resembled "a set, a black bustle" and "a scorpion." All of them "emerge, fluctuate and fur," the scientist thought, referring to their worried space on spanking photos and traces on the ground.
"At the same time as if we leave out about the current theories about the nonappearance of life on Venus, let's demonstrably epitomize that the bits and pieces morphological features would allow us to say that they are have your home," Astral Document Appraise quoted Ksanfomaliti as representation.
No data proving the existence of life on Venus, everyplace the ground heat is 464 degrees Celsius (867 degrees Fahrenheit), has always been found.

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g STARS - What is LOFAR, and how does it affect the search for ET? See article.
g ABODES - A team recently measured the first-ever planetary atmosphere that is substantially enriched in carbon. The researchers found that the carbon-to-oxygen ratio of WASP-12b, an exoplanet about 1.4 times the mass of Jupiter and located about 1,200 light years away, is greater than one. As they report in a paper to be published on Dec. 8 in Nature, this carbon-rich atmosphere supports the possibility that rocky exoplanets could be composed of pure carbon rocks like diamond or graphite rather than the silica-based rock found in Earth. See article.
g LIFE - A wave of reptile extinctions on the Greek islands over the past 15,000 years may offer a preview of the way plants and animals will respond as the world rapidly warms due to human-caused climate change, according to a University of Michigan ecologist and his colleagues. See article.
g INTELLIGENCE - In communicating with each other, apes known as bonobos sometimes shake their heads - and one of the purposes for which they do this may be analogous to saying "no," a study has found. See article.
g MESSAGE - What is OSETI? See article.
g COSMICUS - The spaceflight company Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, launched the world's first commercial space capsule into orbit and returned to Earth today in a huge leap forward for California-based company, private spaceflight and NASA's plan to rely on such spacecraft in the future. See article.
g AFTERMATH - How would proof of extraterrestrial intelligence affect humanity's "world" view? Astronomer Steve Dick discusses the matter in this transcribed Smithsonian Institute lecture, from 2000. See transcript.
