New ION Engine for Spacecraft Propulsion
DS4G ION Engine

11th December 2006, New Design of ION engine for Spacecraft Propulsion that improves the performance and fuel efficiency multiple times is successfully tested. New ION Engine design called DS4G; Dual stage four grids, is a improvement over original design of ION Engine developed by David Fearn, a pioneer of ion propulsion in 2001.

 
     
 

INSAT 4A Successfully launched
INSAT 4A

December 22, Wednesday night Indian Space Research Organization kicks of with their INSAT 4 Series by successfully placing INSAT 4A in the Geostationary orbit with their Launch Provider Ariane. Launcher Ariane 5G also carried Meteosat weather Satellite for Eumetsat alongwith INSAT 4A. This also makes Ariane the only commercial launcher in service capable of imultaneously launching two payloads.

 
     
 

10th Planet 2003 UB313, Has a Moon
Moon of 10th Planet, Gabrielle

Astronomers explored Moon orbiting recently discovered 10th Planet 2003 UB 313
Astronomers at Keck Observatory, Hawaii revealed a Moon orbiting around recently discovered 10th Planet 2003 UB313. With Advance Technique and new instrument of Adaptive Optics Astronomers able to resolve the blur lights from XENA to discover the moon, very little is known about the object as discovery is recent.

Planet X Discovered

2003 UB 313

10th Planet is discovered in the outlying regions of our solar system. The newly discovered planet is not yet formally named, it is given a
temporary name as 2003 UB 313. It was discovered by Mr. Michael Brown at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California. Newly discovered 10th Planet is larger than Pluto and nearly 9 Billion miles away from sun.

 
     
 

After launched status of first solar sail spacecraft COSMOS 1 is unknown.

Status of privately funded $4m Solar Sail COSMOS 1 is unkown after its launch on tuesday, as scientists monitoring the launch are not able to receive any signals from COSMOS 1.

 
     
 

World's First Solar Sail COSMOS 1 is planned to take off on June 21st 2005.
COSMOS1

June 20th 2005, after 4 years of attempts once again Solar sail spacecraft COSMOS 1 is ready for launch. Russian modified ICBM Volna will be carrying first ever solar sail spacecraft COSMOS1, at an altitude of 800 km to face the sun. COSMOS 1 will use gentle light pressure to boost itself in higher orbit and travel further, If successful COSMOS1 would open a new area of research in space travel missions.

 
     
 

Earth like planet discovered outside solar system
Gilese 876

Team of astronomers announced discovery of Most Earth like planet outside our solar system. This planet is about seven and a half times in mass compared to earth and twice in radius, smallest ever detected planet which revolves round a star (red dwarf) Gliese 876. Such a rocky star only twice in radius to earth and revolving round a dim star not very different from our sun is a very close configuration to earth like planets, at least the closest ever found.
