Target: Venus . The Soviet VEGA Spacecraft Two remarkable "busloads" of automated spacecraft were launched toward Venus by the Soviet Union in December of 1984. Each one contains three separate modules: one lander and one balloon-carried atmosphere probe to be dropped off at Venus in June, 1985, and one major package of instruments which will continue on to encounter Halley's Comet in March, 1986. ...

Arecibo Radio Telescope - National Science Foundation - Budget Cuts - New York Times 11/20/2007 07:25 AM November 20, 2007 A Hazy Future for a `Jewel' of Space Instruments By KENNETH CHANG The next time an unexpected comet shows up in the inner solar system, Amy J. Lovell may not get time at the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico to observe it before it swings back out. ... Something else may also weigh in Arecibo's favor: it may be much cheaper to keep it open. ...

... These sources are much more likely to be gravitationally lensed by intervening galaxies as compared with sources discovered in surveys in other wavebands. ... The effect of lensing by clusters is then discussed briefly. This is expected to increase the source confusion noise in a Planck survey in the directions of clusters, and could provide information about galaxies with flux densities that are too faint to be detected directly by Planck . ... 2 The properties of galaxy--galaxy lensing . ...

Abstract . A first-generation CMOS Charged Particle Spectrometer chip [1] was designed at JPL for flight on the STRV-2 spacecraft. These devices will collect electron and proton spectra in low Earth orbit as part of an experiment to demonstrate Active Pixel Sensor (APS) technology in space. This paper presents the results of total dose testing on these chips and, where possible, attempts to extend the results to other Active Pixel Sensors. ...
