The Russian module of the International Space Station (ISS) has an air leak that has NASA concerned.
GEO-2 may refer to: the second in a series of Global Environment Outlook reports issued in 1999 by the United Nations Environmental Program (also known as GEO-2000 ) Geosynchronous satellite USA-241 , also known as SBIRS GEO 2 , the second in a series of space surveillance satellites launched on March 19, 2013, as part of the United States Air ...
The SBIRS satellites are a replacement for the Defense Support Program early warning system. They are intended to detect ballistic missile launches, as well as various other events in the infrared spectrum, including nuclear explosions, aircraft flights, space object entries and reentries, wildfires and spacecraft launches.

One classical thermal escape mechanism is Jeans escape, [1] named after British astronomer Sir James Jeans, who first described this process of atmospheric loss. [2] In a quantity of gas, the average velocity of any one molecule is measured by the gas's temperature, but the velocities of individual molecules change as they collide with one another, gaining and losing kinetic energy.
