NASA Launches Weather Satellite
NASA Launches $1.5 Billion Weather Satellite
VOA - Friday, October 28th, 2011 at 6:30 am
NASA has launched a $1.5 billion weather satellite into orbit that aims to help improve weather forecasts and monitor long-term climate change.
The satellite, known as the National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System, is being carried by a Delta II rocket 800 kilometers above the surface of the earth.
The U.S. space agency says the two-ton weather satellite, about the size of a small bus, is carrying five different types of instruments that will gather weather information to be used by national weather services across the globe.
It will also monitor other environmental data, such as ice cover and the ozone layer, that will provide scientists with better information on the effects of long-term climate change.
The satellite will enter a polar orbit, crossing both the north and south poles, which will allow it to view every part of the globe.
It will spend the next five years circling the earth about a dozen times per day.
The satellite was initially scheduled to be launched in 2006, but was delayed after scientists ran into problems with the development of several of the instruments

Record High Temperatures in Northeastern USA
Northeastern US Suffers Under Record High Temperatures
July 23rd, 2011 VOA
Millions of people across the northeastern United States suffered Friday as temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius and hit all-time record highs in many areas.
Extremely high humidity made it feel like more than 45 Celsius in New York and other cities.
Officials say this week's heatwave has killed several people. Dangerous heat and air quality alerts were issued for much of the northeastern U.S. Officials warned people to avoid working outside and seek cooling shelters if needed.
The sweltering heat stretched power supplies across several states, as people blasted air conditioners in an effort to stay cool. New York's power provider reduced voltage in several neighborhoods in an effort to prevent outright outages.
Above average temperatures and poor air quality are expected across the northeastern U.S. Saturday.
Record Hight Temperatures about 104 °F
