** Japan is set to give its final green-light next month to a joint
project with the European Space Agency to land mankind's first probe on
Mercury, officials said. --SpaceDaily
** The high-speed impact of a piece of foam insulation hitting Columbia's
left wing is the "most probable cause" of the shuttle's burn up on reentry
into Earth's atmosphere February 1 and the deaths of its seven astronauts,
investigators said. --SpaceDaily
** The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft expects to
experience a blackout in the transmission of its scientific data during the
week of 22 June 2003. This is estimated to last for about two and a half to
three weeks. If the problem is not solved, the Earth will be left outside
the HGA beam on a periodic basis, with similar blackouts occurring every
three months. --SpaceDaily
** Japan's NTT Data Corp. said Thursday it has successfully linked
thousands of computers on the Internet to finish a task in 132 days that
would take a single computer 611 years. It marked Japan's first test of
"grid computing" -- where linked computers share small parts of mammoth
calculations -- sales of the processing power would go ahead by next
arch. --SpaceDaily
