Model Of James Webb Space Telescope Model Flying To Germany

The model of the James Webb Space Telescope has been making a lot of "orbits" around the world, and is now slated to "land" at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany from October 13-28, 2008.

DPS Meeting Day 0: James Webb Space Telescope Workshop

Friday, October 10th, was "day zero" of the conference, when many formal and informal workshops are held. I attended a workshop titled "Observing Planets (wherever they may be) with James Webb Space Telescope." The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the planned successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). It was conceived as the next-generation space telescope after Hubble (in fact, it used to be called the NGST) and is an upgrade to HST in many ways. At the workshop, we heard updates on its capabilities and also had the chance to voice some suggestions we have about making the telescope more useful for planetary observations.

Sunshield created for the Webb telescope

A full scale model of NASA's planned James Webb Space Telescope is on display on the National Mall in Washington on May 10, 2007. Scheduled for launch in 2013, the telescope will be 10 to 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope. (UPI Photo/Roger L. Wollenberg)

Super-tough Sunshield To Fly On The James Webb Space Telescope

Imagine sunglasses that can withstand the severe cold and heat of space, a barrage of radiation and high-speed impacts from small space debris. They don't exist, but Northrop Grumman engineers have created a Sunshield for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope that can withstand all of those elements.

Hubble Space Telescope Exhibit Set for Grand Opening at Kentucky Space Center Visitor Complex

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – Celebrating the stunning discoveries of one of the greatest telescopes ever built, Eye on the Universe: The Hubble Space Telescope exhibit debuted at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Friday, October 3, 2008. The exhibit opens prior to the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on the fifth and final shuttle mission to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.

SPACE: Chinese Space Walkers Stalk The Space Station

November 3, 2008: On September 27th, a Chinese Shenzhou space capsule came within 45 kilometers of the International Space Station, and two of the three crewmen made the first Chinese space walk (going outside the spacecraft in their space suits.) Later, a small, 88 pound microsatellite (the BX-1) was released from the Shenzhou. This was supposed to be a science experiment, but the fact that the Shenzhou came so close to the International Space Station, and then released a smaller, maneuverable (via small gas jets) BX-1, indicated another satellite destruction drill. The BX-1 could easily have been directed at the nearby space station, and destroyed it.

SPACEHAB Sees Opportunity in Space Florida's Launch Complex

SPACEHAB, Incorporated (NASDAQ:SPAB), and its Astrotech subsidiary, leading providers of commercial space services, join with Space Florida in recognizing the immense opportunities for America's commercial space program in the joint Air Force Space Command and Space Florida Dedication Ceremony of Launch Complex 36. The Ceremony marked the symbolic "groundbreaking" following the announcement by the Air Force Space Command of its commitment to commercial space and its intention to lease LC36 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to Space Florida. The U.S. Air Force's official "intent to lease" the site to Space Florida includes the build-out of the launch pad to support multiple-customers and multi-vehicle configurations for commercial, civil and military customers.

NASA runs into more trouble with Hubble Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope is backdropped against black space as the Space Shuttle Columbia, with a crew of seven astronauts on board approached in this March 3, 2002 file photo. NASA engineers said they know how to fix the broken Hubble Space Telescope: They have to wake up a backup data-handling system that hasn't been turned on since the telescope launched in 1990. On Wednesday Oct. 15, 2008 NASA will start a complicated remote-control fix of a major glitch that stopped the telescope from capturing and beaming down pictures. Hubble should be able to send stunning astronomy photos back to Earth by Friday, officials said. (AP Photo/NASA, FILE)

Hubble telescope working, taking photos again

This undated handout photo provided by NASA, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, shows a pair of gravitationally interacting galaxies called Arp 147. The Hubble Space Telescope is working again, taking stunning cosmic photos after a one-month breakdown. The Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said the $10 billion telescope is as good as it was before a shutdown in late September. That glitch scotched plans for spacewalking astronauts to upgrade the telescope this month. (AP Photo/NASA)

It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency

Dante_J writes "In the final report published by the Australian Senate inquiry into 'The Current State of Australia's Space Science & Industry Sector' entitled 'Lost in Space? Setting a new direction for Australia's space science and industry sector,' it calls for the formation of a 'Space Industry Advisory Council' to oversee the creation of a fully-fledged Australian Space Agency. Of the top 20 GDP nations, Australia is the only one without a Space Agency, which impacts on many aspects of ordinary life, not to mention Research and Engineering endeavors. Every satellite operated by Australia is owned by another party and the costs of this alone are comparable to that of a Space Agency. The report is a tidy piece that drew upon submissions form Andy Thomas, and an impressive collection of Australian Academics and Space Science entities fr

Dead Space model the future for EA

Chatting with Variety, who seem to be getting more than a little hot on the games front lately, Dead Space executive producer Glen Schofield has revealed that the sci-fi horror title's development is being used as a model for EA's other new projects.

Space Shuttle Endeavour Moves to Launch Pad 39B

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the first time since July 2001, two shuttles are on the launch pads at the same time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Space shuttle Endeavour completed a 4.2-mile journey to Launch Pad 39B on Friday, Sept. 19, at 6:59 a.m. EDT. Endeavour left Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building at 11:15 p.m. Thursday, traveling at less than 1 mph atop a massive crawler-transporter. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during space shuttle Atlantis' upcoming mission to repair NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, targeted to launch Oct. 10. After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be moved to Launch Pad 39A for the STS-126 mission to the International Space Station.
