Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
For the Beauty that cannot be seen, For the honor of those whose shoulders we stand on, For the hope of those we aspire to become, And for the inspiration of those who will surpass our achievements. Music, beginning Omnibus End Music, Miles

A team of NASA-funded researchers find there may be different criteria by which we search for life elsewhere in the universe. Also, shuttle Discovery gets a new target launch date; SOFIA flies its first science mission; NASA’s Small Business Awards, and an alternative fuels pilot program. Plus, Scott Kelly’s geography trivia from space, and the anniversary of Gemini 7.

Do these objects all look like the ISS or the Hubble Space Telescope? Many people believe they do and many claim to have proof that they are either these objects or other satellites. If this is the case then can someone please show me. http:www.youtube.com/gridkeeper

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer leaves CERN to embark on a USAF plane, on its journey to Cape Canaveral, and then Space. It will be installed on the International Space Station next year, where it will look for antimatter in Space.

Please join us on Facebook for the latest science news and videos: tinyurl.com ESA Space Science: Anti and Dark Matter Detective AMS – Searching for the missing Universe — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The purpose of the anti and dark matter detective AMS is to help scientists to better understand fundamental issues on the origin and structure of the Universe by observing antimatter and dark matter. As a by-product, AMS will gather a lot of other information from cosmic radiation sources on stars and galaxies millions of light years from our home galaxy. Not only astronomers, but also particle physicists are zealously waiting for AMS data. The AMS experiment is led by Nobel laureate Samuel Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and it involves international team composed of 56 institutes from 16 countries. ESA’s partner in the AMS collaboration is the Agency’s Directorate of Human Spaceflight. The first version of the experiment, AMS-01, was flown in June 1998 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery and, after promising results the bigger and more capable version was accepted to be flown on the International Space Station (ISS). • www.esa.int — What are ‘dark matter’ and ‘dark energy’? The content of the Universe is widely thought to consist of three types of substance: normal matter, dark matter and dark energy. Normal matter consists of the atoms that make up stars …

Hubblecast 26: Exceptionally Deep View Of Strange Galaxy. A spectacular new image of an unusual spiral galaxy in the Coma Galaxy Cluster has been created from data taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. It reveals lots of new details of the galaxy, NGC 4921, as well as an extraordinary rich background of more remote galaxies stretching back to the early Universe. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Credits: • ESA/Hubble (M.

Hubblecast 01: ‘Comet Galaxy’ Being Ripped Apart By Galaxy Cluster. The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, in collaboration with several other ground- and space-based telescopes, has captured a galaxy being ripped apart by a galaxy cluster’s gravitational field and harsh environment. The finding sheds light on the mysterious process by which gas-rich spiral-shaped galaxies might evolve into gas-poor irregular- or elliptical-shaped galaxies over billions of years. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Credit: • ESA/Hubble (M.

Hubblecast 25: What’s Next? Amazing Telescopes Of The Future. The telescope has been mankind’s window on the Universe for four hundred years. It has provided scientists with unprecedented views of planets, stars and galaxies from our cosmic doorstep to the very depths of space and time. But despite their incredible performance, even the newest and most powerful telescopes leave room for improvement. Astronomers always want to venture beyond their current horizons. In this final chapter we take a look at things to come – the revolutionary ground-based telescopes and space observatories of the future. One thing is certain: there is much left to discover. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com • www.YouTube.com — Welcome to the Hubblecast!
