NASA Mini AERCam Nanosatellites







NASA Mini AERCam Nanosatellites

NASA Mini AERCam Nanosatellites 06/22/2005 02:19 AM

Roland Piquepaille writes, "In NASA's language, a nanosatellite-class system is a small spacecraft, but it is not a nanotechnology-based device. In fact, the new 'Mini AERCam' robotic cameras are small, free flying vehicles capable of performing inspection and viewing missions in space. But these spherical-shaped cameras have a diameter of 7.5 inches and weigh about 10 pounds. The cameras are designed to help astronauts and ground crews see outside the spacecraft during a mission. During human space flights, like the ones of the International Space Station (ISS), their use will suppress the need for astronauts to walk in space. And these cameras, tested on the ground today, should be soon deployed in space to watch human-based missions in space." For more details see Roland's blog.

A mini-guide to Mac OS X for new Mini
owners
02/01/2005 08:53 PM

Apple finally went and released an inexpensive computer. With the advent of the Mac mini, some Windows and Linux users who have been curious about Mac OS X but turned off by Apple's high prices have finally bit the bullet and ordered a mini.

Trying an unfamiliar operating system can be irritating at times. Things are not where you expect them to be, the GUI is different, and connecting to servers and other PCs can be frustrating. Hence the mini-guide.

This is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all things OS X. Its purpose is to help those new to the operating system do simple things, like use a Windows printer, connect to a network share, and figure out what the key with the funny-looking squiggle on it next to the spacebar does (or even use your PC keyboard with a Mac). So if you're an "adder" and are feeling a bit out of sorts, check out our guide.

Either the Mini isn't supported any longer, or, more likely, someone within BMW's marketing department didn't want to dillute the Beemer brand with their low-end cousin. Whichever -- it's still been removed from the site.

Reinventing NASA


Reinventing NASA 01/09/2004 09:57 PM
To the moon, Alice! (And then, on to Mars) Time will tell whether this declaration will lead to an actual rebirth of NASA and realignment of goals for the agency. But I for one am absolutely thrilled that Bush is planning to give NASA a long-overdue new mission and goal. Avoiding the obvious pro/con debate of doing this (or the cost), I think it's absolutely vital to the national psyche for the United States to have a long-range goal that it can focus positive energy upon. This could be the first real "Challenge to the Union" that I think should become an annual event to replace the State of the Union.

NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up


NASA Keeps Their Spirit Up 08/13/2004 10:55 AM
Spirit, one of two NASA robots currently exploring Mars has exceeded its life span and is showing signs of wear, but it's still running and still sending back new photos. A new Nature article describes the aging rover's biggest problems: the batteries are running low due to weak winter sunlight and the gearbox on right front wheel has developed a fault. NASA engineers have instructured the rover to drive backwards, which reduces the excessive current being drawn by the front wheel. The weak light on Mars now allows only enough battery power for an hour or two of activity each day. Mars and Earth will be out of communications for a week around September 10 and the current plan is to have Spirit hibernate all week while it's batteries recharge. Despite the problems Spirit has traveled over 3 kilometers from its landing site and is now halfway up the 200 meter-high Columbia Hills.

NASA to consolidate all their sites into the nasa.gov portal The argument for change is that users will be served better by a single website because the agency's various sites vary in quality and content. But scientists and fans at NASAWatch say consolidation into a single NASA portal - which is more suited as collection press releases rather than in-depth information - will greatly reduce the amount of public information available from NASA. Is consolidation a good idea or is it just a power grab/manipulation by NASA administrators?

NASA Sets Aside $400,000 For Inventors 03/24/2005 02:47 PM

NASA liked the idea of the X Prize spaceship competition so much that they are using that same idea to help develop a wireless power transmission system and super strong tethers. The contests will be run by the Spaceward Foundation and will start in October of this year.

You can read more about it at MSNBC …  In the most common power-beaming scenario, energy in the form of light or microwaves is transmitted through space from a power source to remote receivers, where photoelectric cells convert the light energy into electricity. NASA has already tested one such system for keeping unmanned air vehicles aloft, and the technology might come in handy for long-duration aerial reconnaissance missions on Mars. The concept also be used for distributing power from, say, a nuclear power station on the moon or Mars to other outposts.  As for the tethers, Sponberg said the same super-strong materials could be adapted to make next-generation spacecraft lighter and more resilient. "You can imagine layers of carbon nanotubes being laid down, much like we do with composites today — and that's what we would take away," he said.
