NASA is preparing to new mega project
by Ivana Bruderova


President Bush and U.S. administration made an important decision which can help significantly to solve a problem of global warming. After years of cutting budgets for NASA (30% since 2000) President now promised more than $1 billion to construct and shoot new satellites. Six satellites will made by NASA and cost $910 million over the next five years. They will orbit the Earth and report potential changes. The 2009 budget brings more finance also to national Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and it's instruments to monitor weather changes several of whose are damaged and there were no money to repair it.The priority is now for NASA two satellites which should replace the old ones and make the Earth observation more effective. The old satellites observed ice shrinking while the new will be focused on the critical soil moisture. The rest four satellites are still being discussed by the scientist including which one should be built as the first. "This is the right time for Earth observations," said science adviser of White House Jack Marburger. "Everyone's concerned about climate changes."In spite of increase of grants, Richard Anthes, a past president of American Meteorological Society draw attention to fact this is still less money than scientist need and which they recommended over the next three years. The administration discussed about the energy emissions as the reason of climate changes, too. The new budget would cut spending on energy efficiency and renewable energy, but would increase spending on nuclear power plants and clean technologies for power plants.
