NASA to test supersonic parachute in flying saucer launch

NASA to test supersonic parachute in flying saucer launch

 



 

The United States space agency plans to try out the largest parachute ever deployed Wednesday during a flying saucer launch that will test new technologies for landing on Mars.

 

The test flight of the flying saucer, known as the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator, will be broadcast live on NASA's website beginning at 1:30 pm (1730 GMT).

 

Since the atmosphere on Mars is so thin, any parachute that helps a heavy, fast-moving spacecraft touch down needs to be extra strong.

 

The United States space agency figured out how to do this decades ago, beginning with the Viking mission which put two landers on Mars in 1976.

 

But with the goal of sending humans to Mars in the 2030s, the agency is now testing a more advanced, new generation of parachute technology, known as the Supersonic Ringsail Parachute, that could allow even heavier spacecraft -- the kind that may have humans and months of food and supplies on board -- to land softly.

 

"We want to see if the chute can successfully deploy and decelerate the test vehicle while it is in supersonic flight," NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a statement.

 

The test vehicle weighs 6,808 pounds (3,088 kilograms), or about twice the weight of the kind of robotic rover spacecraft NASA is currently capable of landing safely on Mars.

 

The parachute, described by NASA JPL as "the largest parachute ever deployed," is 100 feet (30 meters) in diameter.

 

The goal is for the chute to "slow the entry vehicle from Mach 2 to subsonic speeds," NASA said.

 

The test will involve sending the saucer, an inner-tube shaped decelerator and parachute to an altitude of 120,000 feet (37 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean with the help of a giant balloon.

 

The balloon will release the spacecraft and rockets will lift the vehicle even higher, to 180,000 feet (55 kilometers), reaching supersonic speeds.

 

"Traveling at three times the speed of sound, the saucer's decelerator will inflate, slowing the vehicle, and then a parachute will deploy at 2.35 times the speed of sound to carry it to the ocean’s surface," NASA said.

 

The first test flight of the flying saucer was in June 2014, and another test flight is planned in 2016.

 

A different kind of parachute known as the Supersonic Disksail was tested in the 2014 flight but it did not inflate as hoped, and shredded to pieces at the high speed and altitude.

 

NASA said researchers have since "gained significant insight into the fundamental physics of parachute inflation," and the team "has been re-writing the book on high speed parachute operations" since last year, the agency said.

Seals help scientists probe remote seas

Seals help scientists probe remote seas

Seals equipped with sensors on their foreheads are helping scientists collect data from some of the most remote corners of the world, advancing research on global warming, ice cover and weather forecasting.

 

The project has involved more than 1,000 seals since it began in 2004 and on Monday the international scientists behind it launched the portal "Marine Mammals Exploring the Oceans Pole-to-pole" (www.meop.net) with the data collected so far.

 

"They are taking data from places where there has been virtually no data before. It's unique," said Mike Fedak, head of the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew's University, which developed the tags.

 

"This data can be used in lots of different ways including for measuring the movement of glaciers, which impacts on the world's oceans," he told AFP.

 

The monitors are battery-powered and intended to last for months at a time, collecting measurements for salinity and temperature that are then beamed back to researchers via satellite in short messages.

 

Other monitors being developed would measure oxygen levels in the water and the amount of chlorophyll, which would be a way of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and the phenomenon of ocean acidification.

 

Since the start of the project, some 400,000 environmental profiles have been produced.

 

Each profile is based on a seal dive, some of which can go down as deep as 2,100 metres (6,890 feet).

 

"The information sent back to us gives us details about the seal's immediate physical environment. It's like tweeting," said Lars Boehme, a lecturer at St Andrew's.

 

The sensors are non-invasive and fall off when the seals molt.

 

They have been tried out on around 100 marine species, including turtles, whales and sharks.

 

"They're not easy to do. They require a lot of sophisticated software and they have limited energy," Fedak said.

 

"You have to make the most of the battery. You want it to last 10 months through the Antarctic winter!"

 

The project involves an international consortium from 10 countries: Australia, Brazil, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Greenland, Norway, South Africa and the United States.

Console and xterm and xeyes and xload and xclock.

 

There are xcalculator and Netscape in X-Window too.

 

Each terminal (Console or xterm) has shell, c-shell (csh) or bourn-again-shell (bash, sh).

 

 

FreeBSD is unix.

 

X-Window is on unix.

 

 

You can understand that unix is a stationary.

 

 

This FreeBSD is running on Toshiba Satellite note PC.

 

Whole hard disk size is 6.4 Giga bytes, MS-DOS is 2 Giga bytes (C drive) and 2 Giga bytes (D drive), FreeBSD is 2.4 Giga bytes.

This FreeBSD is not a server.

 

 

We are naming all unix servers, unix clients and PCs as rosetta + number (Follow as local IP address).

 

Hostname for this FreeBSD is rosetta202.

 

Local IP address for this FreeBSD is 192.168.1.202.

 

192.168.1 means that this FreeBSD is in Firewall.

 

 

We set SunFire to not allow remote login (rlogin), for the reason of a security.

 

Then, this FreeBSD can not remote login to SunFire.

 

If we set SunFire to allow remote login and Firewall through telnet login, then this FreeBSD can remote login to SunFire.

 

If we set SunFire to allow remote login and Firewall through telnet login, we can do one xterm is for local, another xterm is for SunFire client, in this FreeBSD.

 

CPU is not the same, but we can develop, css, PHP softwares, homepage templates and Office template, with free unix and multi clients system and free unix server and local area network.

 

Some CPU emulators are in FreeBSD, we can develop other CPU system programs, for example embed systems.

 

 

We used unix with TSS (Time Sharing System) in University, many users login to a server.

 

FreeBSD and Linux and many PC unix is called a personal unix.

 

PC unix is a personal stationary.

 

We can use unix freely with a personal unix.

On Sunday, the world is set to gaze upon a moon that seems larger than normal – because the moon is closer on this date to the earth than it has been for two decades.

 

This year’s largest full moon, which is the second to occur this summer, will be as much as 30 percent brighter and 14 percent closer than other full moons of 2014, according to NASA.

 

While the celestial body’s increase in size may not be clearly visible to the naked eye, it has been dubbed a supermoon - the scientific name for a perigee moon, with perigee meaning the “closest point to earth.”

 

Although supermoons occur on average every 13 months, it is expected this year that there will be three in a row – with the first supermoon occurred on July 12 and the next one to appear on September 9, according to UK-based daily The Independent.

 

Sunday’s cosmic event is not projected to occur again until 2034.

 

Although the moon is significantly closer to Earth, it is not expected to significantly alter tides.

To write program in Flash Memory in PIC16F84A, we must use ICSP.

 

ICSP is, In Circuit Serial Programming.

 

Pin for ICSP PIC16F84A are;

 

PIC16F84A 12 RB6 CLOCK

PIC16F84A 13 RB7 DATA

PIC16F84A 4 MCLR VTEST

PIC16F84A 14 VDD Voltage

PIC16F84A 5 VSS GND

 

Then, we will build one more socket for ICSP.

 

Connection is;

 

Socket 1 - 12 PIC16F84A RB6 CLOCK

Socket 2 - 13 PIC16F84A RB7 DATA

Socket 3 - 4 PIC16F84A MCLR VTEST

Socket 4 - 14 PIC16F84A VDD Voltage

Socket 5 - 5 PIC16F84A VSS GND

Socket 6 - N.C.

 

We will use socket for flat cable, 3 lines x 2 (or 4 lines x 2, N.C. is 6, 7, 8).

 

Socket and IC layout will be later.

 

We will build one more socket for ICSP, on our PIC16F84A CPU Board.

 

Not switch on PIC16F84A CPU Board when PIC writing.

 

Not connect CPU Direct Bus to another board.

 

This ICSP Socket connect to PIC Writer Board.
