NASA is just now talking about how it saved the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope from destruction by a collision with a piece of space junk last month. And, no, this particular piece of space junk isn't a lost bolt or a

Space, Accident, USA, NASA The Fermi Space Telescope's fate was hanging by a hair, NASA has revealed, as it met an old inactive Soviet satellite last year. The accident details of which has just been released goes back to April 2012, when NASA ...

NASA In late March last year, the people operating the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope got a bit of a scare. Their hardware was one week away from a close encounter with a defunct Russian spy satellite. A week might seem like short notice for ...

Fermi is a NASA astronomical observatory orbiting the Earth about 560 kilometers (350 miles) above the surface. This is called low-Earth orbit, and is very popular; a lot of satellites are at roughly the same altitude. However, space is big, and ...

An artist's rendering of the Fermi telescope in orbit. (Credit: Screenshot by /CNET) The near miss that happened with a high-tech telescope orbiting the Earth last month was so dramatic that I have to assume Hollywood thrill makers will soon be ...

Cuprate high-Tc superconductors exhibit enigmatic behavior in the nonsuperconducting state. For carrier concentrations near optimal doping (with respect to the highest Tcs) the transport and spectroscopic properties are unlike those of a LandauFermi ...
