NASA probes detect man-made bubble around Earth Man-made bubble around Earth Humans have long been shaping Earth's landscape, but now scientists know that we also can shape our near-space environment with radio communications. Read More  
NASA Mars rover to study fluid-carved valley's origin Fluid-carved valley's origin Mars rover Opportunity has reached the main destination of its current two-year extended mission -- an ancient fluid-carved valley incised on the inner slope of a vast crater's rim. Read More  
Water signature found in Neptune-sized planet's atmosphere Neptune-sized planet Combining observations from NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, researchers have detected strong water signature in the atmosphere of a distant Neptune-sized planet.   Read More  
Two new NASA rockets to study Earth's magnetic field NASA Rockets The US space agency is planning to launch two sounding rockets over Norway this winter to study how particles move in a region near the North Pole where Earth's magnetic field is directly connected to the solar wind. http://bit.ly/1HoNWRT http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/two-new-nasa-rockets-study-earths-magnetic-field
NASA finding bolsters Indian theory on black hole Black hole An Indian astrophysicist says the recent observation by NASA scientists of giant flares of X-rays from a black hole confirms his theory that the so-called black holes are not "true" black holes but actually ultra hot balls of fire like our Sun. http://bit.ly/1P7WrDD http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/nasa-finding-bolsters-indian-theory-black-hole
NASA celebrates 15 years of human presence on ISS Satellite The International Space Station (ISS) with humans on board turned 15 on November 2 and NASA is celebrating the event with a delightful musical video.The video details interesting facts about the orbiting laboratory station in twanging verse. http://bit.ly/1Plvz18 http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/nasa-celebrates-15-years-human-presence-iss

NASA completes heat shield testing for future Mars vehicles Nasa NASA has successfully completed key heat shield tests for the future exploration spacecrafts that will scout the Red Planet for signs of life. NASA’s Adaptive Deployable Entry and Placement Technology (ADEPT) is a mechanically-deployable heat shield concept using carbon fabric http://bit.ly/1jfspjj http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/nasa-completes-heat-shield-testing-future-mars-vehicles
NASA's Mars orbiter clicks locations shown in 'The Martian' MARS The Matt Damon-starrer “The Martian” begins with a region on Red Planet called Acidalia Planitia - the landing site for the sci-fi film's “Ares 3” mission. The HiRISE camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has now captured this site associated with the best-selling novel and now a Hollywood movie. http://bit.ly/1jNtwHy http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/nasas-mars-orbiter-clicks-locations-shown-martian
Why did NASA not direct Curiosity to look for water? NASA While the world is going gaga over the presence of flowing brine or salty water on the Red Planet, questions are now being asked why the US space agency did not direct its Curiosity rover to the place where water proofs were recorded for a closer look. http://bit.ly/1FM7D53 http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/why-did-nasa-not-direct-curiosity-look-water  
NASA set to burn astronauts' poop in space NASA The US space agency NASA has released some interesting data about several of its year-long “human research” programmes on the International Space Station (ISS) -- and its astronaut Scott Kelly's poop and the effect of space on the waste is one of them. During his 342-day-long stay on the orbiting laboratory, Kelly will produce nearly 180 pounds (82 kg) of poop. http://bit.ly/1iuSfA4 http://www.uitvconnect.com/newspaper/nasa-set-burn-astronauts-poop-space
NASA's mini satellites set to transform space exploration mini Satellite Move over large satellites.
