LOS ANGELES Aaron Hill Brewers Jersey , Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) recently deployed a tiny satellite called CubeSat from the International Space Station for astronomy.


For the next few months, the Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research in Astrophysics (ASTERIA), under an early-career program at JPL known as Phaeton, will test whether a CubeSat can perform precise measurements of the intensity of an object's light, known as its flux, according to JPL.


This fluctuation is useful for a number of commercial and astrophysics applications Authentic Wily Peralta Jersey , including the discovery and study of planets outside of our solar system, known as exoplanets. However, a space telescope has to correct for internal sources of error while making these measurements.


Engineers have learned to correct for "noise" in much larger space telescopes. If they were able to do the same for CubeSats, it could open an entirely new class of astronomy tools, said JPL.


The newly deployed ASTERIA will help NASA determine the viability of CubeSats as space telescopes for future observational missions.


CubeSats have attracted a lot of attention in recent years.


"CubeSats offer a relatively inexpensive means to test new technologies," Amanda Donner of JPL Authentic Will Middlebrooks Jersey , mission assurance manager for ASTERIA, was quoted Thursday in a news release. "The modular design of CubeSats also makes them customizable, giving even a small group of researchers and students access to space."

BEIJING, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. opposition to recognizing China as a market economy within the framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO) is in reckless disregard of the relevant WTO rules, and is intended to make an excuse for its trade protectionism by misleading the public.


By submitting a statement of opposition to the WTO as a third-party brief in support of the European Union in a case brought by China, the United States tried to mix the concepts of the surrogate country approach and market economy status to mislead the public for its selfish interests.


Last year Authentic Tyler Thornburg Jersey , China filed a WTO dispute case over surrogate country approach, arguing the approach should be dropped after the expiration date on Dec. 11, 2016 in accordance with Article 15 of the accession protocol.


In fact, the case has nothing to do with whether China has been granted market economy status or not, as there are no standards in the WTO rules for the status.


As Liang Guoyong, economic affairs officer at the Investment and Enterprise Division of United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Authentic Travis Shaw Jersey , said, the case is about "surrogate country approach," not "market economy status," which means the former is within multilateral trade rules, while the latter is regarded as a domestic law issue.


The practice to mix the two things together, he said Authentic Scooter Gennett Jersey , apparently contradicts multilateral trade rules and also breaks some countries' international commitments and promises.


Furthermore, it is clear that such behavior is a U.S. planned attempt to protect its trade with China and a part of its efforts to contain China's rise.


According to the General Administration of Customs, China's exports to the United States in the first three quarters increased 18.7 percent over the same period of 2016, and China's trade surplus with the United States in the first 10 month expanded 7.3 percent to reach 225 billion U.S. dollars.


The robust growth in China's exports to the United States and the appreciable trade surplus could be a catalyst for the U.S. administration to maintain a tough stance on China.


Such behavior is just reminiscent of the domestic laws of certain WTO members in the Cold War era, and the refusal would put trade ties with China at risk.


On the other hand, China has established and continuously improved its market economy system Authentic Ryan Braun Jersey , which has earned worldwide recognition. So far, more than 80 economies have recognized China as a market economy.

Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Grange closed the alpine ski world championships with an upset, driving through a blizzard to win the slalom gold medal on Sunday as defending champion Marcel Hirscher skidded out.


The 2011 champion Authentic Robin Yount Jersey , Grange reclaimed the title with a daring go-for-broke second run in limited visibility down a deteriorating Birds of Prey track to post a two-run winning time of one minute, 57.47 seconds.


Germany grabbed the other two spots on the podium with Fritz Dopfer finishing 0.35 seconds adrift to take silver and World Cup slalom leader Felix Neureuther the bronze.


"Skiing, it's always hard, but it's easier when you are on the podium and when you win," said Grange, who had not set foot on a World Cup podium since a third-place finish in 2011. "I was out of the podium for four years so I can't expect this. It's a dream.


"The big events Authentic Paul Molitor Jersey , like world championships and Olympic Games, there is always a lot of press and a lot of pressure and you are not always feeling good, but you have to believe in yourself.


"Today was my day."


Fifth after the opening run, a daunting 0.88 seconds back of Hirscher, the 30-year-old Frenchman posted the best second-leg time of the day, 53.21 seconds Authentic Orlando Arcia Jersey , and then stood in the finish area and watched as the final four medal contenders failed to push him from top spot.
