The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (独立行政法人宇宙航空研究開発機構, Dokuritsu-gyōsei-hōjin Uchū Kōkū Kenkyū Kaihatsu Kikō, lit. "Independent Administration on the Exploration and Aviation of Space Study and Development Organization"), or JAXA, is Japan's national aerospace agency. JAXA was formed on October 1, 2003, as an Independent Administrative Institution through the merger of three previously independent organizations. JAXA is responsible for research, development and launch of satellites into orbit, and is fundamentally involved in many missions such as asteroid exploration and a possible human mission to the Moon. Its motto is One JAXA and corporate message is Reaching for the skies, exploring space. From Wikipedia under the

Q. "Everyone is seeing the same thing," Mark Serreze, a senior researcher with the Boulder, Colo.-based National Snow and Ice Data Center, told CanWest News Service on Friday. "The sea ice seems to be on this death spiral," he said. "And this is not some nebulous thing like global temperature rises. You can see this with your own eyes." Two state-run Japanese research agencies released data on Friday that echoed the U.S. studies, according to Asian news reports. The Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency - expressing "fear that global warming will accelerate" as a result of the rapid melting - pegged the current size of the Arctic ice cover at 5.31 million square kilometres, just less… [cont.] Asked by Trout - Sun Aug 19 21:37:35 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Here is a larger view on mankind's continual progress on earth. First will come one standard world language of English, with many words from other languages being added as expanded "English". Maybe in one hundred or less years. Then one world race will be largely achieved; this mixed race will be superior to today's nine somewhat blended races. Life expectancy will increase to several hundred years on average. Maybe in a few hundred more years. Then one planetary government of all people, by all people, and for all people will be established and well functional. Maybe in one or two more thousand years. Then one planetary and universe supernal philosophy and religion will happen in a few thousand to 50,000 (maximum) more years. Sooner… [cont.] Answered by unknown - Fri Sep 11 07:45:24 2009 Stratospheric ozone loss--another positive feedback?
Q. Bouncing around on the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency site, I found this 5 year-old study which suggests that as temperatures warm, there may be an 83% increase in the flux of ozone from the stratosphere to the upper troposphere. Since ozone is a greenhouse gas in the troposphere, this may act as a positive feedback to warming. They estimate that by 2100, this transport induced rise in tropospheric ozone will have a magnitude "20-40%" of that of the rise in tropospheric ozone due to emissions. Since this study is rather old, has anyone seen any other studies which support/refute the findings of these model results? Also, do you think the flux will be significant enough to cause a notable depletion in the ozone layer? They… [cont.] Asked by Dawei - Mon Sep 14 15:15:10 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments From Yahoo Answer Search: "Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency"
