19 AGOSTO 2011: Space Weather Forecasts in STEREO

<EMBED WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="385" SRC="http://www.youtube.com/v/wMbDjIpiOZM" HIDDEN="false" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true" volume="100"></EMBED>
New processing techniques used on data gathered by NASA's STEREO spacecraft will allow scientists to better track solar storms before they impact Earth. The storms called Coronal Mass Ejections, or CMEs are observed from NASA's twin Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, spacecraft launched in 2006. The data can now reveal a clear and detailed look at a storm's front from the sun all the way to Earth, thus reducing uncertainty of its arrival time. Plus, Curiosity's arm; NASA in NY; Stennis visitors; SF summit; Shuttle program celebrated; environmental stewardship; and, Apollo 13 astro honored. Also, birds of a feather; "Box" rocks Cleveland.

<EMBED WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="385" SRC="http://www.youtube.com/v/2P2eYIsrjP4" HIDDEN="false" AUTOSTART="true" LOOP="true" volume="100"></EMBED>

The Soyuz spacecraft carrying NASA astronaut Ron Garan and his fellow Expedition 28 flight engineers returned safely to Earth with a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. Garan and cosmonauts Andrey Borisenko, and Alexander Samokutyaev had been on the International Space Station since April 6. Their return had been delayed just over a week by the August 24th failure of the Progress 44 cargo craft to reach the station. Now that the Russian Federal Space Agency has identified the cause of the mishap, crew flights to the ISS will tentatively resume on Nov. 14. That's when the Soyuz 28 spacecraft, carrying NASA's Dan Burbank and Russia's Anatoly Ivanishin and Anton Shkaplerov, is scheduled to liftoff from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan; they'll reach the station on Nov.16. Also, Heavy-lift picked; First weld; commercial partners: "Tatooine" discovered; MacArthur badges; new French legionnaire; and rockets2racecars.
