This year, two crew members lived for more than 300 hours inside NASA's new moon vehicle, the Lunar Electric Rover. <em>--by Nikki Staab</em></p><div class="image-clear"></div><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/nasa-gets-new-set-moon-wheels-1294">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/stories/nasa-gets-new-set-moon-wheels-1294#comments James Rice Kip Hodges NASA Nikki Staab Tempe campus Physical Sciences and Mathematics Space Studies Mon, 21 Sep 2009 15:29:39 -0600 dianeb 1294 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/10/deep_biosphere_research_points.html <p>Miles below the surface of the planet, Earth is astir with life--microbial life. A team of ASU researchers is working to understand how these organisms get energy. Their work may have applications ranging from finding petroleum resources to cleaning up the environment. <em>--by Nikki Staab</em></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/10/deep_biosphere_research_points.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/10/deep_biosphere_research_points.html#comments ASU News Chemistry and Biochemistry Everett Shock Nikki Staab NSF Omni-pressure Lab Tempe campus Microbiology Life Sciences Geology Physical Sciences and Mathematics Thu, 23 Oct 2008 11:45:23 -0600 pkrecker 767 at http://researchstories.asu.edu http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/01/solar_system_swap_uranus_and_n.html <p>Quick: What's the order of the planets in the solar system? It's Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, right? That's right today. But four billion years ago, Uranus and Neptune switched places. How do we know? With the help of a very Nice model, for starters. <em>--by Nikki Staab</em></p><p><a href="http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/01/solar_system_swap_uranus_and_n.html">read more</a></p> http://researchstories.asu.edu/2008/01/solar_system_swap_uranus_and_n.html#comments ASU Insight Nikki Staab Steve Desch Tempe campus Physical Sciences and Mathematics Space Studies Thu, 24 Jan 2008 12:17:37 -0700 pkrecker 842 at http://researchstories.asu.edu
