Watchdog group says NASA could be putting astronauts as risk - Video
The launch of NASA's newest Earth-gazing satellite will have to wait another day due to high winds that made launch too risky Thursday (Jan. 29).
The space agency'sSoil Moisture Active Passive satellite(SMAP) mission was set to launch to space today (Jan. 29) at 9:20 a.m. EST (1420 GMT). High altitude winds, however, prevented the United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket carrying SMAP from taking off from Vandenberg Air Force base in California. NASA officials delayed the launch minutes before the 3-minute launch window opened.
Officials will attempt to launch the Earth-monitoring satellite to space again tomorrow (Jan. 30) at 9:20 a.m. EST. You canwatch the SMAP launch attempt liveon Space.com via NASA TV Friday. [See SMAP mission images]
"We had a beautiful countdown," Tim Dunn, NASA launch manager, said during a webcast after the delay was announced. "Everything on the Delta II rocket was rock solid. The spacecraft had absolutely no issues The one thing that was kind of dogging us through the countdown was those upper-level winds Unfortunately today, both from a loading on the rocket and a controllability of the rocket, we were in a condition with upper level winds that we just did not have the capability to fly the Delta II safely through the maximum dynamic pressure region of flight."
Officials expect a 90 percent chance of good weather for launch Friday (Jan. 30).
NASA'sSMAP missionis designed to monitor the moisture content of soil on Earth. The satellite is expected to create a global map of soil moisture once every two to three days, providing scientists with unprecedented data about droughts and floods.
The soil moisture information can help researchers craft better weather forecasts and understand more about the interconnected nature of Earth's water, energy and carbon cycles, according to NASA.
"SMAP is in a unique position because its measurements impact two distinct domains," Dara Entekhabi, SMAP science team leader, said during a news conference Tuesday (Jan. 27). "One, of course, as a science mission it impacts how we fundamentally understand how the environment works and peer into the metabolism of the environment. And second, it impacts some of the applications that touch our everyday lives."
Once launched, the 3-year, $916 million SMAP mission will join the other Earth-gazing missions currently monitoring the planet from space today. SMAP will be in a polar orbit that takes it about 426 miles (685 kilometers) above Earth's surface.
The satellite comes equipped with a huge, nearly 20-foot (6 meters) rotating mesh antenna that is currently folded up but will be deployed after the spacecraft reaches orbit.

R&I: Nanotechnology in Energy Applications Market - Size, Growth, Forecast 2014-2018 - Video
Durham, NC (PRWEB) January 30, 2015
Many consumer goods as well as other industries are working in the nanotechnology field with nanomaterials or are creating products incorporating nanomaterials. Studies show that smaller airborne particles are more toxic, giving rise to concerns for regulating nanomaterials made of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles that make up nanomaterials have the potential to present a new risk and US and EU regulatory bodies feel the need to extensively analyze the risk.
An issue of debate is the size-defining characteristic of nanotechnology. Regulation of nanotechnology will require a definition of the size, in which particles and processes are recognized as operating at the nano-scale. Also, regulatory frameworks for chemicals tend to be triggered by mass thresholds. However, nano-particle applications are unlikely to exceed these thresholds (tonnes/kilograms) due to the size and weight of nano-particles. The usefulness of regulating nanotechnologies on the basis of their size/weight alone has been questioned. The toxicity of nano-participles is more related to surface area than weight, and it has been argued that emerging regulations should also take account of such factors.
The applications and uses of nanoparticles and nanotechnology in nanomaterials are still untapped. For example, nanomedicines are just beginning to enter drug regulatory processes. A controversial point in the regulation of nanotechnology is the question of whether nanotechnology represents something new. Chemicals comprising nanoparticles have previously been subject to assessment and regulation and may be exempt from regulation, regardless of the potential for different risks and impacts. However, nanomaterials are often recognized as 'new' and are commercially protected via patenting laws under intellectual property rights (IPRs).
There is also no regulatory requirement for nanomaterials to face new health and safety testing or environmental impact assessment prior to their use in commercial products, if these materials have already been approved in bulk form.
To help the manufacturers and suppliers using nanomaterials to navigate the current nanomaterials and nanotechnology regulatory developments in the U.S. and EU, AudioSolutionz countrys leading business enhancing information provider, will conduct a session on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, with expert speaker Dr. David Carlander. This audio conference will outline the steps and considerations nanotechnology industries need to take to get their products onto the market following applicable legislations. Dr David Carlander will also shed light upon the current nanospecific requirements regulators (e.g. FDA/EPA/EU) pose for nanomaterials and the requirements of assembling a notification or authorization dossiers and the issues to consider due to a product's nano-specific properties. The presentation will focus on the chemical and raw materials sector but also cover other industries such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals and cosmetic products.
