Goddard team develops new carriers for space station

GREENBELT, Md. -- In a partnership that exemplifies One NASA, engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. teamed up with engineers at NASA's Johnson and Kennedy Space Centers to design, build, and test five new ExPRESS Logistics Carriers, or ELCs, which will be delivered to the International Space Station.

Satellite imagery confirms Ida's low is finally moving away from the east coast

Satellite imagery and weather ground station readings today along the Mid-Atlantic indicate "Ida the coastal low pressure area" is finally moving away from the U.S. east coast.

Former Ida a huge rainmaker, causing flooding in the Mid-Atlantic

The coastal low, formerly known as Ida, is currently quasi-stationary off the North Carolina coast, adding more rain on top of what it has already brought. The low is creating serious flooding from northeast North Carolina to coastal Virginia.

ESA spacecraft may help unravel cosmic mystery

When Europe's comet chaser Rosetta swings by Earth tomorrow for a critical gravity assist, tracking data will be collected to precisely measure the satellite's change in orbital energy.

Ida now a coastal low assaulting the Mid-Atlantic

Ida is one stubborn girl. Her remnants have moved out to sea and reformed as a powerful coastal low pressure system that's been raining on the mid-Atlantic since Tuesday night, November 10.

GOES satellite sees bulk of Ida's clouds and rain inland while center making landfall

Tropical Storm Ida made landfall around 6:40 a.m. ET this morning on Dauphin Island, along the Alabama coastline.

Swift, XMM-Newton satellites tune into a middleweight black hole

GREENBELT, Md. -- While astronomers have studied lightweight and heavyweight black holes for decades, the evidence for black holes with intermediate masses has been much harder to come by.

NASA satellites see Ida spreading out before landfall

NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites are keeping a close eye on Tropical Storm Ida, and both have instruments aboard that show her clouds and rains are already widespread inland over the U.S.

The GOES-12 satellite sees Large Hurricane Ida nearing landfall

Residents of the U.S. Gulf coast thought they were getting a break this hurricane season until Ida showed up.

NASA's TRMM Satellite sees most of Ida's heaviest rain stayed off coasts

NASA and the Japanese Space Agency's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite flew over Ida and captured her rainfall when she passed by Nicaragua, Honduras and Belize this weekend.

NASA's GOES Project offers real-time hurricane alley movies

People love to get the big picture of hurricane alleys, and thanks to the GOES Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., they can now get real-time satellite animations of th

NASA satellites make a movie and get rainfall, wind info on Ida

NASA satellites are amazing examples of technology. The TRMM satellite peers into tropical cyclones and can tell how much rain is falling per hour and where.

'Dropouts' pinpoint earliest galaxies

Pasadena, CA -- Astronomers, conducting the broadest survey to date of galaxies from about 800 million years after the Big Bang, have found 22 early galaxies and confirmed the age of one by its cha
