Spacewalking astronauts launched a tiny Peruvian research satellite Monday, setting it loose on a mis- sion to observe Earth. Russian Oleg Artemiev cast the 4-inch box off with his gloved right hand as the International Space Station sailed 260 miles above the cloud-flecked planet. The nanosatel- lite gently tumbled as it cleared the vicinity of the orbiting complex, precisely as planned. "One, two, three," some- one called out in Russian as Artemiev let go of the satellite. Cameras watched as the nanosatellite — named Chasqui after the Inca messengers who were fleet of foot — increased its dis- tance and grew smaller. Artemiev's Russian space- walking partner, Alex- ander Skvortsov, tried to keep his helmet camera aimed at the satellite as it floated away. The satellite — barely 2 pounds — holds instru- ments to measure temper- ature and pressure, and cameras that will photo- graph Earth. It's a techno- logical learning experience for the National University of Engineering in Lima. A Russian cargo ship deliv- ered the device earlier this year. Less than a half-hour into the spacewalk, the satellite was on its way, flying freely. With that completed, Artemiev and Skvortsov set about installing fresh science experiments out- side the Russian portion of the space station and retrieving old ones. "Be careful," Russian Mission Control outside Moscow warned as the astronauts made their way to their next work site. They also collected samples from a window of the main Rus- sian living compartment; engineers want to check for any engine residue from visiting spacecraft. The spacewalkers wrapped up their work early. Flight controllers thanked them for their five-hour effort. The two conducted a spacewalk in June, a few months after moving into the space station. Four other men live there: an- other Russian, two Ameri- cans and one German. U.S. spacewalks, mean- while, remain on hold. NASA hoped to resume them this month after a yearlong investigation but delayed the activity until fall to get fresh spacesuit batteries on board. NASA Spacewalking astronauts release baby satellite By Jason Straziuso The Associated Press NAIROBI, KENYA Poach- ers killed an estimated 100,000 elephants across Africa between 2010 and 2012, a huge spike in the continent's death rate of the world's largest mammals because of an increased demand for ivory in China and other Asian nations, a new study published Mon- day found. Warnings about massive elephant slaughters have been ringing for years, but Monday's study is the first to scientifically quantify the number of deaths across the continent by measuring deaths in one closely mon- itored park in Kenya and using other published data to extrapolate fatality tolls across the continent. The study — which was carried out by the world's leading elephant experts — found that the proportion of illegally killed elephants has climbed from 25 percent of all elephant deaths a decade ago to roughly 65 percent of all elephant deaths today, a percentage that, if contin- ued, will lead to the extinc- tion of the species. China's rising middle class and the demand for ivory in that country of 1.3 billion people is driving the black market price of ivory up, leading to more impov- erished people in Africa "willing to take the crim- inal risk on and kill ele- phants. The causation in my mind is clear," said the study's lead author, George Wittemyer of Colorado State University. The peer-review study was published Monday in the Proceedings of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences. It was co-authored by ex- perts from Save the Ele- phants, the Kenya Wildlife Service, an international group called MIKE respon- sible for monitoring the il- legal killings of elephants, and two international uni- versities. "The current demand for ivory is unsustainable. That is our overarching conclu- sion. It must come down. Otherwise the elephants will continue to decrease," said Iain Douglas-Hamil- ton, founder of Save the El- ephants. Elephant deaths are not happening at the same rate across Africa. The highest death rate is in central Af- rica, with East Africa — Tanzania and Kenya — not far behind. Botswana is a bright spot, with a popula- tion that is holding steady or growing. South Africa's rhinos are being killed, but poachers have not yet be- gun attacking elephants. Some individual elephant death numbers are shock- ing. The elephant popula- tion in Tanzania's Selous Game Reserve dropped from 40,000 to 13,000 over the last three years. China is aware of its im- age problem concerning the ivory trade. The embassy in Kenya this month donated anti-poaching equipment to four wildlife conservancies. Chinese Ambassador Liu Xianfa said at the hando- ver ceremony that China is increasing publicity and ed- ucation of its people to in- crease understanding of the illegal ivory trade. "Wildlife crimes are a cross-border menace," Liu said, according to a tran- script of the ceremony pub- lished by Kenya's Capital FM. "I assure you that more action will follow as will support to fulfil our prom- ise. We firmly believe that, through joint efforts, the drive of combating wild- life crimes will achieve suc- cess."
