China's space authorities have announced plans to launch over 40 different spacecrafts into orbit in 20 separate launches this year.
One of the vessels to be launched is the ground-breaking Yuanzheng 1 - also known as the 'space bus' - which can launch 10 different satellites at once.
2013 was a massive year for China whose scientists launched 16 spacecraft to firmly establish their cosmic credentials.
In October 2003, it became only the third country in history to independently launch a manned mission into space on the Shenzhou 5.

IMAGE:RapidScat data showed Tropical Depression Bavi's strongest surface winds were northwest of the center at 17 m/s (38 mph/61 kph) and weaker around the rest of the storm.... view more
Tropical Cyclone Bavi weakened to a depression and NASA's RapidScat instrument measured its waning winds from space.
On March 17 the RapidScat instrument aboard the International Space Station (ISS) measured Bavi's surface winds from 01:28 to 3:01 UTC. RapidScat data showed surface winds were strongest winds in the northwestern quadrant. Sustained winds were near 17 m/s (38 mph/61 kph) and weaker around the rest of the storm.
On March 18 at 0000 UTC (March 17 at 8 p.m. EDT), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center noted that Bavi's maximum sustained winds dropped to 25 knots 28.7 mph/46.3 kph). It was located near 15.8 north latitude and 132.8 east longitude, approximately 489 nautical miles northwest of Yap, and was moving westward at 6 knots (6.9 mph/11.1 kph).
Bavi is moving west and weakening. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center expects Bavi to dissipate sometime on March 19.

Littleton-based Lockheed Martin Space Systems is jumping into the entry pool to be the next selected to ferry supplies to and from the International Space Station.
The company submitted a three-part system the Jupiter reusable spacecraft, Exoliner cargo container and a long robotic arm that takes inspiration from the Space Shuttle's similar appendage to try to win a piece of the $14 billion NASA pie.
"We know how important it is to get astronauts on the ISS the supplies they need on time, every time," said Wanda Sigur, vice president of Lockheed Martin's civil space division. "Our approach is designed to deliver a large volume of critical supplies and cargo with each flight, and do so on schedule."
Here's how it works: Jupiter and Exoliner would launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket and deliver their cargo to ISS. Jupiter would remain in orbit, leaving the old Exoliner behind on ISS.
Once another Exoliner cargo delivery arrives, Jupiter would remove the old Exoliner from ISS, and replace it with the new. The old cargo container would fall from orbit, burning up upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere.
As part of the bid for the NASA Commercial Resupply Services 2 contract, the company is positioning the configuration as a potential support for future deep space exploration think interstellar mini-marts placed throughout space, serving as prepositioned stations to provide astronauts with food, fuel and equipment.
Lockheed Martin looked to their previous designs to guide its commercial resupply contract entry. Jupiter builds on the heritage of MAVEN, currently in orbit around Mars, and asteroid explorer OSIRIS-REx, currently under construction at the company's Waterton Canyon facility.
They also looked to the cargo carrier used on ISS' current Automated Transfer Vehicle to guide the Exoliner, which would have both pressurized and unpressurized cargo capacity.
The award of the contract to Lockheed Martin would bring work to Colorado, including engineering, production and testing of the Jupiter spacecraft and Exoliner 's unpressurized cargo carrier and Mission Support Module, which carries Jupiter's refueling supply, according to company spokeswoman Allison Rakes.

The Hawaii Institute for Geophysics and Planetology has developed a website to make data on groundwater and geothermal resources accessible to the public.
The objective for the website is to bring together UH research with data on groundwater and geothermal resources that is collected by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) and Department of Health (DOH), University of Hawaii at Mnoa Geochemist Donald Thomas said.
According to Thomas, groundwater data goes back 100 years or more and is not very accessible to the public. The website formats the past and current data that is more easily accessible for people who want to learn more about geothermal resources.
Ultimately what we would really like is to have a system were people can go in and understand more about the groundwater system, Thomas said.
He added the first phase of the Hawaii Groundwater and Geothermal Resource Center (HGGRC) website is to analyze the data to see how sources of groundwater have changed over time due to climate change or urban development and how they should be managed in the future.
Both the data and information on the website have been generated by Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology scientists since 2010.
The HGGRC website provides searchable map displays that show what is to come for groundwater and geothermal energy data.
Humuula GroundwaterResearch Project
One project connected to the website, the Humuula Groundwater Research Project, focuses on researching the groundwater resources on Hawaii Island.
The projects researchers will drill two holes on the grounds of the Phakuloa Training Area (PTA), in the center of the island, to depths of 6000 to 6500 feet from the surface. The goal is to reach the point where the fresh groundwater and the oceans salt water meet and take rock core samples for future scientific study.

VIDEO:TRMM showed that the heaviest rainfall occurring in Nathan on March 18 at 0758 UTC (3:58 a.m. EDT) was falling at a rate of over 119 mm (4.7 inches) on... view more
The TRMM satellite revealed that Tropical Cyclone Nathan had powerful thunderstorms known as "hot towers" near its center which are indicative of a strengthening storm.
Cyclone Nathan is located in the Coral Sea off Australia's Queensland coast. Nathan formed on March 10 near the Queensland coast triggering warnings there before moving east. Once out at sea, Nathan made a loop and headed back to Queensland.
On March 18, Nathan was nearing the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland. As a result warnings were in effect from Cape Melville to Innisfail, extending inland to Laura. Under watch is the area from Lockhart River to Cape Melville, extending inland to areas including Palmerville.
NASA-JAXA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite showed that the heaviest rainfall occurring in Tropical Cyclone Nathan on March 18 at 0758 UTC (3:58 a.m. EDT) was falling at a rate of over 119 mm (4.7 inches) on the eastern side of Nathan's eye. At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, TRMM Precipitation Radar data were used to create a 3-D view of cyclone Nathan that showed storm heights in a rain band circling the storm's northwestern side reached heights of over 16 km (9.9 miles). Those data also showed "hot towers" or storm tops in Nathan's eyewall were reaching heights of over 13 km (8 miles).
"A "hot tower" is a tall cumulonimbus cloud that reaches at least to the top of the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It extends approximately nine miles (14.5 km) high in the tropics. These towers are called "hot" because they rise to such altitude due to the large amount of latent heat. Water vapor releases this latent heat as it condenses into liquid. NASA research shows that a tropical cyclone with a hot tower in its eyewall was twice as likely to intensify within six or more hours, than a cyclone that lacked a hot tower.
On Mar. 18 at 0900 UTC (5 a.m. EDT), the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) noted that Nathan had reached hurricane force with maximum sustained winds near 65 knots (75 mph/120.4 kph). It was centered near 14.9 south latitude and 148.9 east longitude, about 225 nautical miles (258.9 miles/416.7 km) east-northeast of Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It was moving to the west at 2 knots (2.3 mph/3.7 kph) and generating wave heights to 22 feet (6.7 meters).
The MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of Tropical Cyclone Nathan off the Queensland, Australia coast on March 18, 2015 at 04:15 UTC (12:15 a.m. EDT). The MODIS instrument showed a pinhole eye, about 5 nautical miles (5.7 miles/9.2 km) wide.
JTWC forecasters noted that Nathan is moving into an area of warm sea surface temperatures that will allow the storm to strengthen before making landfall on the Cape York Peninsula. JTWC forecasts call for Nathan to strengthen to 85 knots (97.8 mph/157.4 kph) by March 19 at 0600 UTC (2 a.m. EDT). For updated warnings and forecasts from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, visit: http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/.
It is forecast to make landfall north of Cairns on March 19 (by 1800 UTC) and move in a west-northwesterly direction across the Cape York Peninsula and into the Gulf of Carpentaria.

WHY WE PERFORMED THIS AUDIT
More than 50 years after serving as the launch site for the storied Apollo Program, the Kennedy Space Center (Kennedy) is working to revamp decades-old infrastructure and transform itself into a multi-user spaceport to accommodate both commercial spaceflight companies and the Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (Orion) NASA is developing for its next stage of deep-space exploration.
NASA has spent more than $975 million on modernization efforts at Kennedy over the last 5 years and anticipates spending an additional $2.4 billion over the next 5 to upgrade such infrastructure as the Launch Pad 39B, from which the Agency launched the Apollo and Space Shuttle flights; the Mobile Launcher built for the cancelled Constellation Program; one of the crawler-transporters NASA used to move spacecraft to launch pads for almost 50 years; the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) constructed in the mid-1960s to support the Apollo Program and which the Agency used to process Space Shuttle orbiters; as well as to develop the software necessary to integrate and launch the SLS and Orion. The Agency's Ground Systems Development and Operations (GSDO) Program is leading this effort.
In this review we evaluated whether the GSDO Program is meeting cost, schedule, and technical performance goals as it prepares Kennedy to launch the SLS and Orion on Exploration Mission 1 by the current target date of no later than November 2018.
WHAT WE FOUND
GSDO has made steady progress on the major equipment and facilities modernization initiatives needed to launch SLS and Orion, but significant technical and programmatic challenges remain to meet a November 2018 launch date. For the most part, these challenges originate from interdependencies between the GSDO, SLS, and Orion Programs. In short, GSDO cannot finalize and complete its requirements without substantial input from the other two Programs, and NASA is still finalizing the requirements for those Programs. Specifically, GSDO must overcome (1) a short timeframe for performing verification and validation testing between the Mobile Launcher, VAB, and Launch Pad 39B; (2) receipt of data and hardware regarding Orion later than planned; (3) the potential that integrated operations for Exploration Mission 1 may take longer than expected; and (4) most significantly, delays associated with development of command and control software.
At the time of our audit, GSDO was scheduled to complete a significant development milestone known as Critical Design Review in March 2015, several months before SLS (May 2015) and Orion (August 2015). The purpose of the Critical Design Review is to demonstrate a project's design is sufficiently mature to proceed to full scale fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing and technical aspects are on track to meet performance requirements within identified cost and schedule constraints. In our judgment, given the many interdependencies between the Programs, a schedule that has GSDO completing Critical Design Review prior to the other two Programs increases the risk GSDO may experience schedule delays or be required to perform costly redesign work.
NASA's Launch Support and Infrastructure Modernization: Assessment of the Ground Systems Needed to Launch SLS and Orion March 18, 2015IG-15-012 (A-13-020-00)Finally, coordinating and integrating development of the three individual Programs to meet a common milestone date presents a unique challenge, particularly since NASA historically has used a single program structure to manage similar efforts such as Apollo and the Space Shuttle. In lieu of central management, NASA established a cross-program integration structure that designates leaders from each Program to coordinate and align the Programs' development schedules. It is too early to say whether these substantial coordination challenges will result in cost or schedule issues for the Exploration Mission 1 launch. Moreover, new issues are likely to be uncovered during integration the point at which most projects encounter technical problems that impact cost and schedule. Given these challenges, coordination efforts among the GSDO, SLS, and Orion Programs are essential to successfully meeting NASA's human exploration goals.

A new asteroid-hunting computer program will help amateur astronomers and citizen scientists identify potentially hazardous space rocks faster and more accurately, NASA officials say.
Developed by NASA in partnership with Planetary Resources, a company that aims to mine asteroids, the software combines several algorithms developed in the Asteroid Data Hunter challenge.
"We applaud all the participants in the Asteroid Data Hunter challenge," Chris Lewicki, president and chief engineer at Planetary Resources, said in a statement. "We are extremely encouraged by the algorithm created, and its already making a difference. This increase in knowledge will help assess more quickly which asteroids are potential threats, human destinations or resource-rich." [Images: Potentially Dangerous Asteroids]
The new software was announced by a panel of NASA representatives on Sunday (March 16) at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas.
Announced in March 2014, the Asteroid Data Hunter challenge offered a total of $55,000 in awards for participants to develop significantly improved algorithms that could study images captured by ground-based telescopes and identify asteroids.
The winning entries for each section of the contest which focused on minimizing false positives, increasing detection sensitivity, ignoring imperfections in the data and the ability to run effectively on all computer systems were then combined to create an application to scan the skies.
The data hunter challenge kicked off NASAs Asteroid Grand Challenge, which was announced in 2013.
"The Asteroid Grand Challenge is seeking non-traditional partnerships to bring the citizen science and space enthusiast community into NASAs work," Jason Kessler, program executive for NASAs Asteroid Grand Challenge, said in the same statement.
"The Asteroid Data Hunter challenge has been successful beyond our hopes, creating something that makes a tangible difference to asteroid-hunting astronomers and highlights the possibility for more people to play a role in protecting our planet," he added.
In 1801, astronomers spotted the first objectin the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter the dwarf planet Ceres by carefully noting objects that appeared to move over time in comparison with the background stars. Technology allowed scientists to use images rather than memory or carefully sketched maps to compare how these bodies changed locations over time. By the time Clyde Tombaughspotted Pluto in 1930, astronomers around the world were using photographs of the night sky to identify moving objects.

We're used to thinking of black holes as places where gravity is so strong not even light can escapewhere an unnoticed crossing by a hapless astronaut over an unseen and un-felt event horizon nonetheless means a point of no return. According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, no signposts would mark the spot where the chance of escape dropped to zero, writes physicist Joseph Polchinski.
But in this issue's cover story, Burning Rings of Fire, Polchinski paints a new picture, courtesy of his and others' work in a discipline that Albert Einstein found vexing: quantum mechanics. Replacing the unknowable border to an eternity of darkness is a stormy firewall of instantly lethal high-energy particles. If quantum mechanics is to be trusted, firewalls are the consequence, Polchinski notes. The controversial finding arose from scientists' attempts to resolve apparent contradictions of physics that occur in extreme environments, a challenge highlighted by Stephen Hawking, among others.
Nanotechnology can be equally invisible to the eye but promises far more benignin fact, salutaryencounters. In our special report on the Future of Medicine, we examine what benefits nanomedicine is bringing us already and how those will take shape in the future. We can look forward to improvements in cancer-fighting therapies, diagnostics, wound healing, delivery of drugs with nanomotors, and more.
A different class of unseen actors is at work in the worrying trend of cyberattacks. Software vulnerabilities have led to hacked networks, servers, personal computers and online accountswith theft of information from millions. Your own PC or corporate network can become enslaved to further the ends of cybercriminals.
How to Survive Cyberwar, by Keren Elazari, takes an unsettling look at the growing problem. Taking a military point of view, Elazari argues, will ultimately not be the most successful approachindeed, it might just make things worse. Instead she suggests thinking of it as a public health issue. Government agencies are key players, but they cannot stop the spread of [cyber]diseases on their own. Success will mean that all of us play important roles. Read on to see how we can, as cybercitizens, do the equivalent of washing our hands and getting our vaccines.
