Here's how the satellite's gravity compares to Earth's. ... The moon, however, does have inconsistencies in its gravitational field because of "Bouguer" gravity anomalies.

When spacecraft careen around Earth for a gravity boost, they mysteriously speed up, and physicists want to know why. Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and ...

Ground controllers are raising the orbit of Europe's GOCE gravity-measuring satellite in an attempt to recover its failed data-transmission function.

An anomaly in satellites' flybys confounds scientists. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2014 / 09 / 140919110526.htm ...

This "Wilkes Land gravity anomaly" was first uncovered in 2006, when NASA satellites spotted gravitational changes which indicated the presence of a huge object sitting in the middle of a 300 mile ...

In Hudson Bay, this downward pull reduces the area’s mass, creating a weaker gravitational pull, thus causing the gravity anomaly scientists first noticed in the 1960s. In 2002, satellite data ...

Two Chinese remote sensing satellites placed into a low orbit after an apparent problem with their launch vehicle are gradually raising their orbits and may still be able to carry out their missions.

However, this only accounts for around 25-45 percent of the gravity anomaly seen at Hudson Bay, according to an analysis of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellite data. The ...

Also in 1998, a speed of 13 mm/s above estimates was observed in the spacecraft NEAR, and similar anomalies were repeated in the flybys of Cassini in 1999 (-2 mm/s), and those of the Messenger and ...
