Cosmos-2393 satellite, may have competed its mission. The orbit (Apogee 39695, Perigee 614km, Incl. 65.11) of the US-KS early-warning satellite, launched on 24 Dec 2002, was not increased during February 2007. This may be due to low fuel levels. The satellite may still be fully operational. The c...

Can we detect asteroid impacts with rocky extrasolar planets?
Sixty-five million years ago a chunk of rock and ice perhaps 15 kilometres across collided with the Earth and wiped out many creatures, including the dinosaurs. This impact, known as the Chicxulub impact, must have created a spectac...
The Israeli satellite of remote sensing of the Earth Eros B on Thursday was brought to the Svobodny cosmodrome in the Amur region.
"The date of the launch of the spacecraft will be set later, but the satellite will be placed in orbit without fail in late April." - Svobodny Spokespe...
