However, the United States and other nations reacted with alarm when China successfully blasted one of its own aging weather satellites out of orbit in a military test.
The Chinese weapon test, on Jan . 11 shattered an aging weather satellite into hundreds of bits, in what space experts describe as the worst satellite fracture of the space age.
In an ominous turn, in 2007 Beijing successfully tested an antisatellite missile that alarmed Washington and angered many international scientists for rendering the target, an aging weather satellite, into potentially dangerous orbital debris.
China's 11 January 2007 antisatellite missile test targeted at an aging weather satellite was a visible exercise in muscle-flexing.
This study demonstrates the functional potential of indigenous bacteria for model PAHs-degradation and bioremediation of aged, weathered PAH contaminated sites of Australia.
Selected isolates that were then able to grow on at least one of three model PAHs (naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene) were identified and then screened for their potential application in the bioremediation of aged, weathered soils from a former gasworks site based on Biolog™ MT2 data.
Environmental factors, such as thermal ageing, weathering and photo-oxidation, high-energy radiation and biological degradation are also covered along with environmental stress cracking (ESC).
Or, of course, to those who are immobilized by illness, age, weather or criminal convictions.
More than 2000 kilometers to the southeast, under the same declining CO2, the post-ice-age weather shift tended to make the region around Lake Quexil in Guatemala wetter rather than drier.
