  • At a workshop last month in Washington, D.C., NASA canvassed the scientific, human spaceflight and planetary defense communities about their priorities for a mission to a near-Earth asteroid.
  • an asteroid mission is possible as early as 2019 using a pair of enhanced Orion spacecraft with a two-person crew.
  • November 2019 and spend three months flying more than 7 million miles to an asteroid that's about 33 feet across.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • he crew would "park" their vehicle nearby and spacewalk over
  • After about five days the crew would climb back into one of the capsules and spend three months flying home.

  • “superb from a science standpoint,” but beyond Europe’s current budget
  • There was some questioning of the cost estimate for Euclid, but at some point you have to decide: Either you don’t believe the estimates that [ESA science program managers] produced, or you assume their estimates are credible. Euclid was the one mission where costs were debated, but the consensus was to use the cost estimates presented to us.

    finally cross-scale is not selected, it was the only cosmic vision mission with multi-satellites formation flying, since the concept for Xeus has changed. There is still Swarm but it's not really formation flying... So ESA is missing something here...

    Another great presentation at this conference!! Plus I always wanted to enter the numerical computations of orbit around black holes.... with Luzi we had a project on formation flying around black holes .... revolutionary idea (of course we did not do it!!!)

    formation flying around black holes... so practical...

    nice movie, and song :) we should definitely implement GR orbits in pagmo !

    I agree Marek, yet was it practical for Apollonio to study conic sections more than 1500 years before Kepler found his three laws? And here is a good paper to start with: http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v77/i10/e103005, making an analogy between the periodic table and the taxomony of all orbits around a black hole.

    Another futuristic view on flying by Airbus. To make it more sexy it also includes some biomimetics...

Army heli-Weeble hops to avoid rubble trouble - tech - 18 September 2009 - New Scientist - 0 views

flying robotics hopping

shared by Juxi Leitner on 21 Sep 09 - Cached
  • is a rotor-powered, bottom-heavy, self-righting vehicle that spends most of its time on the ground, thus conserving battery power. Instead of flying around, it hops, using a pair of contra-rotating rotors (to avoid the need for a tail rotor) mounted on an aluminium base. All this is encased in a spherical cage made of strong carbon-fibre spars (see diagram).

    Behavioral variations in fruit fly are not due to randomness but rather to decisions taken by the animal. Seems like free will.... also: http://brembs.net/spontaneous/
