NASA Confirms ISS Crew Will Expand to Six in 2009

A Russian official misspoke last weekend when he said the number of crew members on board the International Space Station probably wouldn't increase next year as planned. On Saturday, Roscosmos head Anatoly Perminov said, "I doubt that the ISS crew will be increased to six people from next year because the final decision has not been taken yet. All countries participating in the ISS program have to decide it." But today NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries said Perminov made a mistake. "There are no impediments for going forward with expanding the crew size from three to six," Humphries told Universe Today. The issue was also discussed during a press conference with the space station crew, including the newly arrived crew of three that launched on a Soyuz rocket on Sunday: U.

NASA Tests Deep-Space Network Modeled On the Internet

hcg50a writes "NASA has successfully tested the first deep space communications network modeled on the Internet. Working as part of a NASA-wide team, engineers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, used software called Disruption-Tolerant Networking, or DTN, to transmit dozens of space images to and from a NASA science spacecraft located about 20 million miles from Earth. The store-and-forward protocol was designed by NASA in consultation with Vint Cerf. Here's a discussion from last July before the test began."

Unhappy People Watch More TV

Hugh Pickens writes "A new study by sociologists at the University of Maryland concludes that unhappy people watch more TV, while people who describe themselves as 'very happy' spend more time reading and socializing. 'TV doesn't really seem to satisfy people over the long haul the way that social involvement or reading a newspaper does,' says researcher John P. Robinson. 'It's more passive and may provide escape — especially when the news is as depressing as the economy itself. The data suggest to us that the TV habit may offer short-run pleasure at the expense of long-term malaise.' Unhappy people also liked their TV more: 'What viewers seem to be saying is that while TV in general is a waste of time and not particularly enjoyable, "the shows I saw tonight were pretty good.

Deploying ISA Server as a firewall for Exchange Server mobile devices

Microsoft's Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 is a firewall solution that augments Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007. Because ISA Server is an Exchange-aware solution, it can be used as an application-level firewall. It is especially useful for mobile messaging security. This tip discusses deploying ISA Server to authenticate and encrypt ActiveSync synchronisation between a mobile device and Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2007.

NASA sees no quick fix for broken 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)
