New space mission

June 14, 1996

Space scientists have vowed to rebuild Cluster, 바카라사이트 European space mission which exploded just after its launch in French Guiana last week. They want to build a more modest version of 바카라사이트 mission - but 바카라사이트 source of funding for a replacement, anything between Pounds 20 million and Pounds 100 million, is uncertain.

Cluster exploded 40 seconds after its launch on 바카라사이트 European Space Agency's new rocket launcher, Ariane V, last week. Four identical satellites, each carrying 11 instruments, were lost. United Kingdom-based scientists had been principal investigators for four of 바카라사이트 instruments.

Ken Pounds, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council, said: "Our main aim at 바카라사이트 moment is to recover as much of 바카라사이트 lost science as possible." The European Space Agency's science programme committee will discuss 바카라사이트 problem on June 21.
