Houston TX (SPX) May 18, 2012
When SpaceX's Dragon capsule launches in spring 2012, a very special payload will be on board: 15 student experiments from the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program. The big deal is that those experiments from "SSEP Mission 1 to ISS" will be part of space history. Dragon will become the first commercial vehicle to dock to the International Space Station, and these student experiments have the

Bonn, Germany (SPX) May 18, 2012
Almost 15 years after being paralysed by a stroke, a 58-year-old US-American woman was once again able to serve herself a drink of coffee. This was possible thanks to a state-of-the-art DLR robot arm and hand that she controlled with neural signals sent directly from her brain. It took just a few moments for her to grasp the drinking bottle with the robot hand, bring it up to her mouth and

Washington (AFP) May 17, 2012
Competition is vital to the race among private companies to replace the space shuttle, NASA said Thursday, after Congress called for the US space agency to fund a single company. "We believe that competition is key to accelerating this program," said NASA deputy administrator Lori Garver in a conference call with reporters. "We are ushering in a new era that embraces the innovation of th

Laurel MD (SPX) May 18, 2012
Researchers working with NASA's Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) spacecraft report the frequent detections of Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves at the edge of the innermost planet's magnetosphere. In six different sets of magnetic field measurements made by the orbiter as it passed through Mercury's magnetopause, the boundary that separates the planet's m

Anti-inflammatory food

Education regarding lifestyle, diet and exercise might be the key to avoiding chronic inflammation. “A comprehensive food-based strategy for reducing inflammation and thus reducing the incidence and severity of a large array of chronic illnesses and declining health is supported by a large and growing volume of scientific investigations,” US researchers suggest. They outline the [...]
