Space Weather News for July 17th

http://spaceweather.com

GENESIS I: An inflatable satellite? Believe it. Genesis I, launched last week
by Russia for a private aerospace firm, blew up like a balloon when it reached
Earth orbit on July 12th. The mission tests an unorthodox idea, that inflatable
modules might be used to build future space stations. So far so good.

Although it's not the brightest object in the night sky, Genesis I can be seen
making regular passes over the United States and Europe. A picture of such a
flyby is displayed on today's edition of SpaceWeather.com.

If you would like to see the satellite yourself, sign up for Space Weather PHONE
(http://spaceweatherphone.com). Subscribers will receive email and phone alerts
when Genesis is about to make a bright evening flyby over their hometown.
