Space wallpapers for your PSP

It's been a while since my last post, but I've been busy updating Spacewallpapers.net with a new streamlined design and 25 new space wallpapers. Quite a task!

I'm also happy to announce that I'm implementing a PSP wallpaper page on the site as well. This is a limited test at the time with only a few PSP sized wallpapers to select from, but if there is a demandt for it, I'll be adding a lot more in the future. So those of you who own a PSP and are crazy about astronomy and all things space related should make sure that you check it out!

CryoSat Crashes

Cryosat, a satellite developed to monitor changes in the ice caps have crashed into the Artic Ocen shortly after the launch from Russia's Plesetsk launch pad on the 9th of September.

It's beleived that the carrier rocket's booster system failed during the launch causing the loss of Cryosat, which was developed by ESA (the European Space Agency). The loss is quite a blow to ESA who planned to used the satellite for a period of 3 years to do some intensive studies on the polar ice caps.

The Russian Space agency has suspended all further launches of the rocket used in the failed launch attempt pending the results of an investigation.

NASA and Google Team Up

NASA and Google are partnering up on space research. Google will be building the Nasa Research Park - a million-square-foot facility within Nasa's Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley. Researchers will focus on various aspects including supercomputing and other technologies.

Google is an expert in handling and sorting information, and NASA has technologies that will be beneficial to Google.

This might be the start of wonderful things to come. Let's face it, Google is great when it comes to innovation and bringing new things to the world. We can only wait and see what this will bring.

Go Google!
