Podcast-Exploring Space from Space
Posted Monday, April 13, 2009, at 11:51 AM<< Previous | Respond | Email link | Next >>
For the second time this spring, I have been honored with the opportunity to release a podcast for the International Year of Astronomy site, "365 Days of Astronomy". This podcast is about the dozens of current spacecraft now being used for astronomical research, including Sun orbiters, planetary flybys, planetary landers/rovers, and the telescopes in Earth orbit. Little did I realize how many spacecraft are currently in operation, until I did the research for this project. The sound file, as well as text transcript of the podcast, may be found on the homepage at www.365daysofastronomy.org (scroll down to April 12 podcast) or at http://365daysofastronomy.org/2009/04/12....
