Stream Video KSC-05-S-00004
KSC-05-S-00004 (01/10/2005) --- NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite -- known as ICESat -- is doing just that, and more. From its perspective in space, ICESat measures Earth's dynamic features with unprecedented accuracy. These measurements are providing scientists with a new way of understanding our changing planet. ICESat's "laser radar" profiles the height distribution of clouds. These measurements have determined that Earth has a 70 percent cloud cover. This accurate information helps scientists make computer weather forecast models more accurate. Read more...

KSC-04-S-00058 (03/11/2004) --- Is the Earth getting hotter? A recent NASA study, based on satellite data, shows that temperatures in the Arctic are rising. That could mean that sooner or later, we'll all be feeling warmer. Climate changes in remote regions like the Arctic can have a surprising impact on all of us. Warming trends could alter the global climate, affect ocean temperatures and habitats, and widen shipping lanes. Previous studies funded by NASA showed that temperatures rose significantly during the last decade, compared to the 1980s. Read more...

KSC-03-S-00100 (12/12/2003) --- Desde el centro espacial Kennedy en la Florida, éste es el noticiero NASA Direct. Les informan Anali Leis...y Luis Enrique Ramírez. El trasbordador espacial ATLANTIS se movilizó el pasado 5 de diciembre. Dicha nave fue transferida desde el hangar de mantenimiento, hasta la facilidad de ensamblaje, o “VAB” por sus siglas en inglés. De esta manera, empleados del centro espacial podrán efectuar la inspección de seguridad anual en el equipo de mantenimiento. ATLANTIS se mantendrá en el edificio de ensamblaje por 10 días. Read more...

KSC-03-S-00099 (12/12/2003) --- From the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this is NASA Direct News. I’m Tracy Yates. And I’m Bruce Buckingham. Our top story, Shuttle Atlantis was on the move on December 5th. The orbiter was rolled from its processing hanger to the nearby Vehicle Assembly Building or VAB. With the orbiter out of the way, workers can perform annual safety work on processing equipment. Atlantis will remain in the VAB for 10 days. After that, it will return for more processing in preparation for Return to Flight no earlier than next September. Read more...

KSC-03PD-0069 (01/12/2003) --- VANDENBERG AFB, Calif. -- A Boeing Delta II rocket soars above the clouds here today at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The NASA payloads aboard the rocket are the ICESat, an Ice Cloud and land Elevation Satellite, and CHIPSat, a Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer. ICESat, a 661-pound satellite, is a benchmark satellite for the Earth Observing System that will help scientists determine if the global sea level is rising or falling. It will observe the ice sheets that blanket the Earth’s poles to determine if they are growing or shrinking. Read more...

KSC-02PD-2056 (11/11/2002) --- KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The Cosmic Hot Interstellar Plasma Spectrometer, or CHIPSat, undergoes final processing before launch. CHIPSat, a suitcase-size 131-pound satellite, will provide invaluable information into the origin, physical processes and properties of the hot gas contained in the interstellar medium. This can provide important clues about the formation and evolution of galaxies since the interstellar medium literally contains the seeds of future stars. CHIPSat is scheduled for launch, with the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), on a Delta II expendable launch vehicle from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., on Jan. 11, 2003, between 4:45 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. PST.
