VIVAnews - Trench-shaped giant spiral troughs on Mars' north pole that resembles a giant windmills that are no longer mysterious. Scientists have little explanation about one of the characteristics of Mars, called Mare Boreum or giant valleys.

As reported by Space.com, May 26, 2010 edition, the formation of valleys that resembles a giant spiral groove animal snail shell formed through a very long process.

The process of formation of the giant valley just as the formation of small valleys commonly called Chasma Boreale, a pre-existing in the same location.

Process that lasted over a certain period was due to the influence of the sun and wind. Climate on the Red Planet memungkikan also assessed the formation of valleys previously mysterious. Erosion processes in a long time is also one cause of the formation of giant canyons.

Initially, researchers thought that the valleys are older geological phenomena. But they have not been able to prove and can only guess.
Isaac Smith, a planetary scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, said that so far the view that researchers can not be proven. "They are like judge a book by its cover," said Smith.

However, radar technology, opening the eyes of scientists. Radar technology allows scientists to take pictures of two-dimensional (2D). Starting from the cross section and layer in the trench wall, Radar also help track the points geometry of underground structures, to further create three-dimensional image display.

Steep valleys in between the cliffs a total of approximately 1000 kilometers. Reached about two miles thick. Radar research results indicate that the steep valleys were formed long before the emergence of a spiral-shaped shallow trench earlier.

Early research calls, the valleys created by the activity of the giant melting icebergs for long. But the question is, in radar research studies there is no evidence remains of the ice melts.

VIVAnews - a new era of commercial space flight began. Falcon 9 rocket from the company Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) has been launched from Florida, Friday, June 4th, 2010 ago.

SpaceX is not alone through the atmosphere for sending cargo and astronauts into space.

United States space agency, NASA has been known to ask for SpaceX and other companies, Virginia's Orbital Sciences to build unmanned rocket to send cargo to the international space station.

After that, SpaceX plans to modify the design of capsules Oriental Lockheed Martin as a space station lifeboat. Meanwhile, corporate giants Boeing also hopes to provide commercial crew of space flight.

Several smaller companies are also ambitious to build a space rocket to carry humans into the sky. Already there are six companies in the list.

1. Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX)

Plan flight to outer space: 2011

Orbital Sciences has a contract worth U.S. $ 1.9 billion, with NASA to provide eight cargo delivery mission to the international space station using the Cygnus and Taurus 2. The launch is planned in 2011 from Wallops Island, Virginia.

Orbital has not announced plans to change the Cygnus became a manned aircraft.

3. Blue Origin

Name of aircraft: New Shepard, at least, can carry three astronauts
Founder: Jeff Bezoz, who is also the founder of Amazon.com
Location: Kent, Washington, began operations in 2004
Plan rocket launch, mid 2010

This company plans to close the meeting information about the launch of human spaceflight. However, Blue Origin has been testing prototype aircraft, the New Shepard in Texas.

Earlier this year, NASA chose the Blue Origin to develop an astronaut rescue system and build a prototype composite space capsule as part of a commercial crew launch the program.

4. Bigelow Aerospace

Name plane: Sundancer - can carry three crew and BA-330 - can carry six passengers.
Founder: Robert Bigelow, with a fortune of U.S. $ 180 million company from the wealth of Bigelow.
Location: North Las Vegas, Nevada, began operations in 1999
Rocket launch plan: 2015

Rocket Sundancer and BA-330 is expected to be a space station, not just a rocket. Company founder, Robert Bigelow dreaming develop the station on the Moon with inflatable technology. - Can be pumped.

Although Bigelow did not have a rocket or spacecraft to fly to the station, the company has worked with Boeing in the provision of crew members.

5. SpaceDev / Sierra Nevada Corp.

Name plane: Dream Chasers, can carry four passengers in suborbital flight, and 6 in orbital flight.

Founder of the company: Jim Benson (died), replaced by Fatih Ozmen
Location: Poway, California, began operations in 1997
Mengangkasa Plan: under development

California-based SpaceDev, wholly owned by Sierra Nevada Corp.. This company has developed the Dream Chaser - a plane that can carry crew and cargo into space, through the Atlas 5 rocket.

In February, the Sierra Nevada won projects worth U.S. $ 20 million from NASA to continue development Dream Chaser's.

6. Virgin Galactic

Name of aircraft: Spaceship Two, can carry six passengers and two pilots.

Owner: miyuner England, Sir Richard Branson, as well as providers of funds.

Location: London, England and Spaceport, New Mexico, began operations in 2004.

The flight plan: the end of 2011 or early 2012.

Virgin Galactic aircraft designed for a trip into space. Passengers who want to be a tourist is required to pay approximately U.S. $ 200 thousand per seat.

Meanwhile, aircraft carriers, WhiteKnightTwo - can be modified to launch small rockets or satellites for NASA or other users.

SpaceShipTwo is designed by aerospace engineer Burt Rutan. These are larger versions of SpaceShipOne, which flew successfully in suborbital flights in 2004.

Arriving Soon, Sun Storm Threat

Solar storms (BBC)

VIVAnews - solar activity would become more active and will result in negative effects for the Earth.

To prepare for the worst, a leading solar scientists gathered in Washington DC, USA Tuesday, June 8, 2010, to discuss the best ways to protect satellites and Earth's vital systems of the solar storm.

Solar storm occurs when some point the sun burst and spew splattered particles that can be damaging. This activity takes place in cycles of 11 years.

"The sun has got up from bed length. And in the next few years we will see solar activity in the higher level," said the head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, Richard Fisher, like the Christian Science Monitor published pages.

"At the same time, technological society is developing a new sensitivity to face the storm the sun."

Society in the 21st century rely heavily on high-tech systems in everyday life are susceptible to storm the sun.

GPS navigation, air travel, financial services and emergency radio communications could all die suddenly by solar activity.

Economic damage caused by solar storms are expected twenty times larger than Hurricane Katrina - as a warning, issued the National Academy of Sciences in a report in 2008.

Fortunately, a lot of damage can be overcome if it knows when a storm is coming. That is why understanding of solar weather and a better ability to provide early warning, it is very important.

Placing the satellite in 'safe mode' and release the transformer in order to protect the electronics from damaging power surge.

"Space weather forecast is still under development, but we're making rapid progress," said Thomas Bogdan, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

NASA and NOAA are working together to manage the fleet of satellites that monitor the sun and help to predict changes in solar.

A pair of spacecraft called Stereo (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) is located on the opposite side of the sun, which can display a mix of 90 percent of the solar surface.

In addition, the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory which), which has just launched in February 2010, can produce new photo active part in the solar surface.

Also, an old satellite called the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE), which was launched in 1997, still monitoring the sun.

"I believe we are on the verge of new era where space weather can affect our lives everyday like usual weather of the earth." Fisher said. "For us, this is very serious." (Hs)

Unfolding, Ever There Alien Life on Titan

VIVAnews - Titan - Saturn's largest satellite has long been suspected to have signs of life.

And alleged that leads right. Scientists of the National Space Agency (NASA) to reveal the facts leading to the evidence that there is life on one of Saturn's largest moon.

NASA scientists believes it has found vital evidence which indicates that the possibility of primitive alien life on Titan ever.

As quoted from page Daily Telegraph, June 5, 2010, data explorer rocket NASA's Cassini analyze complex chemical conditions that exist on the surface of Titan - known as the only satellite or moon has an atmosphere dense.

Scientists discover, life beings Titan, whatever it is, breathing inhaling the atmosphere and get food from the surface of Titan.

Previously, astronomers claimed that the satellite or months is generally too cold to support life. Even so there can be no water flowing on its surface.

Studies on Titan is described in two separate papers.

The first report was published journal Icarus. Reveal that the hydrogen gas flowing through Titan's atmosphere vanished while on the surface. This shows that the aliens in the process of respiration or breathing.

Meanwhile, a report to the two in the Journal of Geophysical Research, concluded, chemicals on the surface of Titan minimal. Reduction of minerals consumed by the creature allegedly due to Titan.

Chris McKay, NASA astrobiologi Moffett Field, California, who led the study says, "we concluded that the hydrogen consumption occurred. Therefore, it is clear that the gas consumed in the Titan, the same as humans consume oxygen on Earth."

"If indeed this is a sign of life, it will be very interesting because it means that could prove the existence of these two life forms - which are different from life on Earth which sustained the water," said McKay.

Meanwhile, Professor John Zarnecki of the Open University, said the conclusion that there is life on Titan's getting close.

"We are convinced the chemicals that currently there is the composer's life. Just add the element of heat and warmth to begin that process.

"In the past four billion years, when the Sun turned into a red giant, Titan could be a paradise," he added.

However, scientists warn there may be other explanations for these findings.
