NASA May Move Microsatellites Magnetically
2015-09-14 19:08:51| TechNewsWorld
NASA earlier this month entered an agreement with Arx Pax to use its Magnetic Field Architecture technology in hardware that will let astronauts move tiny satellites without touching them. Arx Pax CEO Greg Henderson and his wife, Jill Henderson, last year launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund development of a functional hoverboard based on the technology.

Watch NASA Explain Why We Should All Be Worried About Greenlands Melting Ice Sheet
2015-09-09 16:06:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: NASA scientists are worried about Greenland. Its ice sheet is three times the size of Texas and a mile deep on average. The only place with more of the worlds ice is Antarctica. But Greenland is warming twice as fast as Antarctica, NASA says. This rapid melting is raising global sea levels at an alarming rateeven faster than expected. Thats why NASA scientists are monitoring Greenlands ice sheet from high up in space to the ocean floor below to provide data for scientists studying the global...
NASA Facilities at Risk From Projected Sea Level Increases
2015-09-08 21:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: Many of NASAs key sites for launching spacecraft and carrying out research will be threatened by even moderate increases in sea level, the U.S. space agency reports. NASA says that half to two-thirds of its laboratories, launch pads, airfields, testing facilities, data centers and other infrastructure are situated at less than 16 feet (5 meters) above sea level. The agency released a handful of maps showing how even a one-foot rise in sea level would impact the operations of major sites such as...
