New Research Gives Insight into Saturn's Atmosphere

VOA News
7 April 2020

New analysis of data collected by the U.S. space agency's Cassini
spacecraft may have solved what has been a mystery to scientists
for years: What keeps the upper layers of Saturn so warm?

The warmth of Saturn and other gas giants in the solar system has
puzzled scientists because the planets are too far from the sun
for it to be the source of the heat that has been found in their
atmospheres.

But the authors of a report published this week in the scientific
journal Nature Astronomy used NASA's Cassini probe data to make
the most detailed examination yet of Saturn's temperatures and
atmospheric density.

They discovered auroras – similar to Earth's northern lights –
active at the planet's north and south poles. The researchers
believe the auroras, electrical currents triggered by
interactions between solar winds and charged particles in the
atmosphere, are what's providing the heat.

This complete picture of how heat circulates in Saturn's
atmosphere allows scientists to better understand how these
auroral electric currents drive winds and distribute energy
around the planet, and why the upper atmosphere is twice as hot
as temperatures expected from the sun's heat alone.

The Cassini space probe, managed by NASA, was an orbiter that
observed Saturn for more than 13 years. In September 2017 it
exhausted its fuel supply and was plunged into the planet, in
part to protect Saturn's moon, Enceladus, which Cassini
discovered might hold conditions suitable for life.

From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:

Amid Pandemic, Turkmenistan Holds Mass Exercise Events To Mark
World Health Day

RFE/RL's Turkmen Service
8 April 2020

Turkmenistan has organized a series of mass exercise events to
mark World Health Day, even as countries across the globe impose
physical-distancing measures to slow the spread of the
coronavirus.

The gas-rich Central Asian country claims to have no registered
cases of the virus and has sought to silence any discussion about
the pandemic.

Authoritarian President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, who was
shown on state television riding a horse and biking with a small
group of officials on April 7, only mentioned the coronavirus for
the first time last week.

State media reported that 3,500 cyclists in the capital,
Ashgabat, and 7,000 others around the country bicycled together
on April 7 "to demonstrate their commitment to the principles of
a healthy lifestyle."

In other events, state media reported sports competitions in
parks, gymnastics and acrobatic demonstrations, and judo, boxing
and wrestling competitions.

RFE/RL correspondents in the capital reported last week that
people talking in public about the pandemic were being quickly
whisked away by plainclothes agents.

Turkmenistan's government sealed off Ashgabat on March 20 without
any public announcement by authorities or state media about the
reasons for the closure.

Traffic between the country’s provinces has been restricted as
well, with checkpoints set up on highways.

Boeing to refly failed Starliner space mission

David Szondy
6 April 2020

Boeing has announced that it will refly the failed unmanned first
flight of its CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. The do-over of the
December 2019 Orbital Test Flight will be paid for by Boeing and
is aimed at fulfilling the test objectives that the shortened
original mission was unable to complete.

On December 20, 2019, Boeing launched an unmanned version of the
Starliner spacecraft that it is developing to ferry astronauts
from American soil to the International Space Station (ISS), as
well as serving private or international manned missions in
low-Earth orbit. However, shortly after lifting off from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, a malfunction occurred
that caused the craft's thrusters to misfire, wasting propellant
and sending it into the wrong orbit.

The Starliner was brought back to Earth by ground controllers 48
hours later, making a soft, controlled landing at the US Army's
White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. A subsequent
investigation revealed that the accident was caused by two
software failures that threw off the onboard Mission Elapsed
Timer (MET) by 11 hours and caused the Service Module to
improperly separate. These were exacerbated by the brief failure
of the command and control link during launch, which prevented
the Flight Control team from directly correcting the timer
malfunction.

Boeing has not announced when the new mission will take place, or
how this will affect the scheduling of the first manned orbital
mission of the Starliner.
