Rare Merger Reveals Secrets of Galaxy Evolution
Thu, 23 May 2013 08:20:00 +0100
A rare encounter between two gas-rich galaxies spotted by ESA’s Herschel space observatory indicates a solution to an outstanding problem: how did massive, passive galaxies form in the early Universe? Most large galaxies fall into one of two major categories: spirals like our own Milky Way that are full of gas and actively forming stars, or gas-poor ellipticals, populated by old cool red stars and showing few signs of ongoing star formation. It was long assumed that the large el...
ITT Exelis selected for NASA Deep Space Network subcontract by JPL
Thu, 23 May 2013 08:09:00 +0100
HERNDON, Va. -  The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has selected ITT Exelis (NYSE: XLS) to provide maintenance, operations, and engineering services for NASA’s international Deep Space Network (DSN). The subcontract has a base period of performance of five years, with incentive provisions that can extend the contract up to 10 years for a total value of $435 million. Under the DSN subcontract, Exelis will support an international network of communications complexes that supports interplanetary robot...
Ecuador warns satellite could hit rocket remains
Thu, 23 May 2013 01:33:00 +0100
QUITO -  An Ecuadoran satellite launched last month could collide with the remains of a Russian rocket in the coming hours, the country's civilian space agency warned Wednesday. The "Pegaso" (Pegasus) nanosatellite, designed and built in Ecuador, set off aboard an unmanned rocket April 25 from the Jiuquand station in northern China. It is the country's first. "Alert: possible collision between NEE-01 Pegaso and Russian rocket remains," tweeted the country's civi...
L-3 Awarded $38.5 M to Supply SATCOM Terminals to the ADF
Tue, 21 May 2013 16:52:00 +0100
NEW YORK -  L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that it has been awarded a $38.5 million contract from the Commonwealth of Australia to supply 51 Hawkeye™ III Lite 1.2-meter Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs), as well as training and long-term sustainment services. This program is one of a number of coordinated projects that will enable the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to deploy an integrated wideband satellite communications capability. Specifically, the contract will deliver one ty...
NASA Launching Experiment to Examine the Beginnings of the Universe
Tue, 21 May 2013 10:00:00 +0100
When did the first stars and galaxies form in the universe? How brightly did they burn their nuclear fuel? Scientists will seek to gain answers to these questions with the launch of the Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRIment (CIBER) on a Black Brant XII suborbital sounding rocket between 11 and 11:59 p.m. EDT, June 4 from the Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. Jamie Bock, CIBER principal investigator from the California Institute of Technology, said, “The first massive stars to...
