What a Difference a Big Dish Makes
Report on World Moon Bounce Day 2010 activities. – by Robert brand
Just had word of some amazing results from our World Moon Bounce 2010. Normally you would need some big phased array antennas or dishes (both with accurate tracking) to be able to talk to other people by bouncing [...]

Who Wants to Build a Global Space Network? My name is Robert Brand and although I am part of the Echoes Of Apollo group, this proposal is from me personally. Echoes of Apollo has been kind enough to allow me to tell others about this opportunity. They are in no way involved [...] Arecibo Joins us for Moon Bounce 2010 Although World Moon Bounce Day 2010 is scheduled for April 17th, this year we will have contacts running for three days as we have the famous Arecibo dish joining us. April 17th is the day that the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission returned to earth 40 years ago and we [...] Group Formed to Save Iconic Moon Dish World Moon Bounce Day 2010 2009-10-05 A tipping point for commercial crew?

Orbital Sunrise  The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.
