Preparing for Planetary Defense: Detection and Interception of Asteroids on Collision Course with Earth
White Paper As the Earth revolves around the Sun, it orbits through planetary debris left from the formation of the solar system. Then it looks at some of the technologies and methods for detecting, cataloguing, and tracking planetary debris objects that may... [24 Feb 2004]
Fitting Selected Random Planetary Systems to Titius-Bode Laws
White Paper Simple ‘‘solar systems’’ are generated with planetary orbital radii r distributed uniformly random in log r between 0.2 and 50 AU, with masses and order identical to our own Solar System. We find that this stability criterion and other ‘‘radius... [24 Feb 2004]
A Fiber Optic "Telescope" to Inner Space
White Paper The oceanographic and planetary science communities are in a position to make major scientific and educational contributions by establishing a series of strategically-located state-of-the-art submarine observatories. [24 Feb 2004]
NASA mini-bots march on Mars
News The project involves insect-sized flying robots, called micro air vehicles, which NASA claims are ideal for planetary exploration because of their ability to hover rather than just fly. The project is part of NASA's "Planetary Exploration Using... [22 Jan 2002]
SETI@home passes round hat for funding
News Anderson has asked SETI@home users to pay US$30 to subscribe to The Planetary Society (TPS) in order to ensure that the project can retain its sponsorship from the organisation. However, within a few weeks of making that comment, Anderson has done... [14 Nov 2002]
Seismic Reflection Study of Upheaval Dome, Canyonlands National Park, Utah
White Paper The origin of Upheaval Dome, in Canyonlands National Park of southeastern Utah, has been a topic of controversy among geologists and planetary scientists. The structure has long been thought to have been created by salt diapirism from the... [24 Feb 2004]
Multiple-Copy Routing in Intermittently Connected Mobile Networks
White Paper There are many real networks that fall into this paradigm, for example, wildlife tracking sensor networks, military networks, inter-planetary networks, etc. Intermittently connected mobile networks are wireless networks where most of the time there... [10 Aug 2007]

SCPS-TP, TCP, and Rate-Based Protocol Evaluation
White Paper The testing was performed over reasonably high data rates of up to 100 Mbps with delays that are indicative of near-planetary environments. Tests were performed at Glenn Research Center (GRC) to validate the operation of Space Communications... [14 Jan 2008]
A Guide to SNARK
White Paper It constitutes the deductive core of the NASA Amphion system, which composes software from components to meet users' specifications, e.g.to perform computations in planetary astronomy. SNARK, SRI's New Automated Reasoning Kit, is a theorem prover... [24 Feb 2004]
SCPS-TP, TCP and Rate-Based Protocol Evaluation for High Delay, Error Prone Links
White Paper The testing was performed over reasonably high data rates of up to 100 Mbps with delays that are indicative of near planetary environments. This paper describes testing performed to validate operation of Space Communications Protocol Suite... [14 Jan 2008]
The search for alien life continues on P2P
News At the same time, the organisation has received undisclosed funding from One Cosmos Network and the Planetary society to step up its search for alien life. SETI@home records signals from space gathered by the world's largest telescope in Puerto Rico. [19 Dec 2000]
Photos: Google Earth showcases natural disasters
Photo Google Earth and the European Space Agency (ESA) are showcasing the planet with 130 satellite images added to the planetary prowler from ESA's satellite image library. Included are images of volcanic eruptions, dust storms and changing ice glaciers... [17 Nov 2006]
Artificial Intelligence - alive and kicking
News You use people's innate intelligence and ability, you connect them up on planetary scale and you've got a new kind of assisted intelligence. Artificial intelligence technology (AI) is being used all around us but don't expect any philosophical... [10 Jul 2008]
