(Phys.org) -- Although ESA’s Artemis telecommunications satellite has officially completed its mission, it still has plenty to offer. Reaching its working orbit almost 11 years ago after an arduous journey, Artemis continues to communicate with Earth. http://phys.org/news257759801.html Space & Earth Fri, 01 Jun 2012 08:58:39 EST news257759801 (Phys.org) -- Artemis Innovation Management Solutions has been given some seed money by NASA to look deeper into a project the company first proposed last summer; namely, building a satellite that could collect energy from the sun and beam it back down to Earth to add to the electrical grid. Building such a satellite has been bantered about for several decades by various groups and scientists, but until now, no one had come up with a design that would work given all the constraints of the time. But now, an idea proposed by longtime NASA engineer John Mankins, now with Artemis, has clearly created enough interest within NASA that some money to investigate the idea is being offered. http://phys.org/news253358870.html Space & Earth Wed, 11 Apr 2012 10:28:00 EST news253358870 (PhysOrg.com) -- ESA’s Artemis communications satellite is in action again to ensure the safe arrival of Europe’s third Automated Transfer Vehicle at the International Space Station with vital supplies. http://phys.org/news252056100.html Space & Earth Tue, 27 Mar 2012 08:35:10 EST news252056100 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new X-ray movie technique using extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses from Artemis (link opens in a new window), one of the world's most advanced lasers, could help unravel the mysteries of phenomena such as magnetism or high-temperature superconductivity. The results are published in the latest edition of Physical Review Letters. http://phys.org/news238401125.html Physics Fri, 21 Oct 2011 07:32:49 EST news238401125 (PhysOrg.com) -- Two small NASA probes that had been used to study space weather now are orbiting the moon to study its interior and surface composition. http://phys.org/news230370063.html Space & Earth Wed, 20 Jul 2011 08:41:19 EST news230370063 (PhysOrg.com) -- On Sunday, July 17, the moon will acquire its second new companion in less than a month. That's when the second of two probes built by the University of California, Berkeley, and part of NASA's five-satellite THEMIS mission will drop into a permanent lunar orbit after a meandering, two-year journey from its original orbit around Earth. http://phys.org/news229793069.html Space & Earth Wed, 13 Jul 2011 16:25:14 EST news229793069 (PhysOrg.com) -- ESA’s pioneering Artemis satellite today marks a decade in space. The Advanced Relay and Technology Mission was a breakthrough in telecommunications satellites for Europe, packed with new technologies such as laser links and ion thrusters for proving in space. http://phys.org/news229768346.html Space & Earth Wed, 13 Jul 2011 09:32:41 EST news229768346 (PhysOrg.com) -- The first of two ARTEMIS ("Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence and Electrodynamics of the Moon’s Interaction with the Sun") spacecraft is now in its lunar orbit. http://phys.org/news228548955.html Space & Earth Wed, 29 Jun 2011 06:49:48 EST news228548955 (PhysOrg.com) -- They've almost arrived. It took one and a half years, over 90 orbit maneuvers, and – wonderfully – many gravitational boosts and only the barest bit of fuel to move two spacecraft from their orbit around Earth to their new home around the moon. http://phys.org/news228129007.html Space & Earth Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:10:23 EST news228129007 (PhysOrg.com) -- Two micro-satellites originally launched into Earth's orbit in 2007 by NASA have been redirected by University of California, Berkeley, scientists toward new orbits around the moon, extending study of the earth and moon's interaction with the solar wind. http://phys.org/news207408339.html Space & Earth Wed, 27 Oct 2010 14:26:01 EST news207408339
