A video view from the Iranian TV station Al-Alam shows Saturday's launch of the Safir rocket. Initially, Iranian media said that the rocket put the nation's first home-produced communications satellite into orbit, but later reports maintained that the mission was merely a test of the launch vehicle.Iranian officials say a rocket launch last weekend was merely a test, but U.S. military intelligence officials now see it as a failed attempt to put a satellite in orbit.

An artist's interpretation shows NASA's Ares 1 rocket launching spaceward. A dual shock absorber system for the rocket should solve the problem of excessive vibration during flight, the agency says.NASA engineers have come up with a dual shock absorber solution to the problem of excessive vibrations with the new Ares 1 rocket that will launch the agency's Orion space shuttle replacement.

Comparison of a typical micro-spacecraft to the size of a birthday cake. To bring this sci-fi vision of 50-pound "micro-spacecraft" and 10-pound "nano-spacecraft" to reality, scientists have now invented a razor-thin skin that can protect craft against the extreme heat and intense cold found in outer space and withstand micrometeoroids hurtling at thousands of miles per hour.

The innermost part of the earth. The outer core extends from 2500 to 3500 miles below the earth's surface and is liquid metal. The inner core is the central 500 miles and is solid metal.Something beneath the surface is changing Earth's protective magnetic field, which may leave satellites and other space assets vulnerable to high-energy radiation.

This artist's rendering shows the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter going around the moon with Earth in the background. The unmanned spacecraft was supposed to launch in early December, but has been delayed until 2009.NASA has delayed the launch of an unmanned spacecraft to the moon to scout for potential landing sites for astronauts.
