Since its inception in 1958, NASA has relied exclusively on radio frequency (RF)-based communications as the only viable medium for exchanging data between a mission and a spacecraft. Today, with missions demanding communication with higher data rates than ever
Active Region 1890, located almost at the center of the disk, erupted with impulsive X1.1 solar flare at 05:14 UTC on November 10, 2013. A very bright Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) has been observed and the bulk mass seems to be heading well south of the
After nearly tripling its planned lifetime, the ESA's Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer – GOCE – has completed its mission. The satellite will re-enter our atmosphere this weekend and break-up into pieces. It is
Astronomers have observed a unique and baffling object in asteroid belt with six comet like tails of dust radiating from it. While this object is on an asteroid-like orbit, it looks like a comet, and is sending out tails of dust into space.
