Podcasts about nasa's ingenuity

On today's podcast, a study finds that bright lights cause problems for insects; some people find false data in scientific papers for fun; the U.S. space agency's Mars helicopter ends service followed by a discussion about NASA's Ingenuity ; then reflexive pronouns on Lesson of the Day.

Welcome to your weekly UAS news update, we have 4 stories for you this week: A Secret Announcement, AUVSI jumps on anti-Chinese drone bandwagon, NASA's Ingenuity ends mission with 72 flights, Autel releases the Alpha, and Mini 3 and 4 RID update. AUVSI appears to be alienating a large number of the folks they claim to represent. AUVSI released a video this week calling for US Lawmakers to “take measured actions to strengthen the U.S. drone industry”. If you've followed us before, you know we'd love to use US made drones, but there are none available for the same cost with the same capabilities as DJI or Autel. AUVSI's stance particularly affects Public Safety, who has recently seen restrictions on country of origin in a number of states including Florida, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, California, Nevada, Texas, and the 2024 NDAA. We've also seen a recent bill from Oklahoma to ban the use of Chinese drones for public safety. So far, the industry's response hasn't been in favor of what AUVSI and other American drone manufacturers are pushing, with many companies including us pulling out of AUVSI's conference. There hasn't been a better time than now to re-evaluate who is advocating for you and your hobby/profession and where you may be donating. If we can make a recommendation, the Drone Service Providers Alliance is a great group to join. We commonly talk with Vic, Kenji, and Dave Messina about advocacy including fighting local bills that restrict us from flying and those that restrict our Public Safety agencies from using the best tools available to save lives. Next up this week is an update to NASA's Ingenuity helicopter. Ingenuity suffered a “Hard landing” on January 18th, which damaged one or more of the rotor blades, making it no longer capable of flight. NASA's goal for Ingenuity was 5 total flights on Mars, instead 72 flights for a total flight time of over 2 hours were completed, with over 10 miles covered It seems Ingenuity's mission was a success and hopefully we'll see another version of the helicopter headed to the red planet soon! Last up this week is the Autel Alpha release! The Alpha appears to be a medium sized industry/public safety drone with a wide camera, zoom camera, laser range finder, and two thermal cameras with up to 56X hybrid thermal zoom. The alpha is much bigger than the Max series and boasts a ton of features, including hot-swappable batteries, mesh networking, 4K 35X optical zoom, IP55 weather rating, and obstacle avoidance. Looks like a pretty cool new aircraft, hopefully we'll be able to get our hands on one to test! Alright, that's it, have a great weekend and we'll see you next week! https://www.linkedin.com/posts/auvsi_auvsi-is-calling-on-us-lawmakers-to-take-activity-7156338684651327488-TGQC/# https://dspalliance.org/ https://dronexl.co/2024/01/25/autel-introduces-alpha-drone/ https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/nasas-ingenuity-mars-copter-ends-a-remarkable-run

Starting upbeat this week, engineer Teddy Tzanetos, team lead of NASA's Ingenuity mission, talks on the Mars-based helicopter which defied all expectations. Our big story this week is on the scientific papers and research databases which contain the DNA profile of thousands of people from persecuted ethnic minorities in China. This data is often collected in association with security forces. Computational biologist and campaigner Yves Moreau now leads the call for scrutiny and the retraction of these papers and databases, which lack evidence of free and informed consent. We often cover the ever-growing threat of bird flu to mammalian populations on Science in Action. But how does the virus make the successful leap from bird to mammal cells? Virologist Wendy Barclay discusses the potential tricks the virus uses to adapt and grow. And, finally, zoologist Sam Fabian has been trying to answer the question everyone thinks they already know: why are moths attracted to artificial light? Presenter: Roland Pease Producer: Ella Hubber Production Coordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth

On this episode, we remember the 3 year journey of the Ingenuity Helicopter on Mars, which now has a broken rotor and is unable to fly safely anymore. We discuss how influential the Martian Helicopter was by obliterating it's original 30-day life span and providing miles of coverage inside of Jezero Crater. We discuss some facts on the first powered flight on another world, and close up with a discussion around the Wright Brothers and how influential their R&D efforts were to a young, eager to learn Engineer (me!).  Come for the Ingenuity drone talk, and stay for the Space Storytime!

As the American space agency NASA continues to carry out tests of its Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, it is also testing a future aircraft design on Earth.美国宇航局美国宇航局继续在火星上对其“聪明号”直升机进行测试，同时也在地球上测试未来的飞机设计。NASA's Ingenuity has been making test flights on the Red Planet for the past two-and-a-half years. The experimental helicopter arrived on Mars along with NASA's Perseverance explorer, or rover, in February 2021.过去两年半以来，美国宇航局的“独创”号一直在这颗红色星球上进行试飞。 这架实验直升机于 2021 年 2 月与 NASA 的毅力号探测器或漫游者一起抵达火星。Both the rover and helicopter have been collecting images and data as they explore an area known as Jezero Crater. The goal of the exploration effort is to search for signs of ancient life on Mars.火星车和直升机在探索一个名为杰泽罗陨石坑的区域时一直在收集图像和数据。 探索工作的目标是寻找火星上古代生命的迹象。Ingenuity made history in April 2021 by becoming the first aircraft to complete a powered, controlled flight on another planet. NASA officials have said the helicopter has performed far above expectations. Agency engineers planned on Ingenuity completing just five experimental flights on Mars. But the helicopter has so far performed 66 flights. It has provided NASA with valuable data on building future aircraft to fly in space.Ingenuity 于 2021 年 4 月创造了历史，成为第一架在另一个星球上完成动力、受控飞行的飞机。 美国宇航局官员表示，这架直升机的表现远远超出了预期。 该机构的工程师计划“独创”号在火星上仅完成五次实验飞行。 但这架直升机迄今为止已执行了66次飞行。 它为美国宇航局提供了有关建造未来太空飞行飞机的宝贵数据。Travis Brown is Ingenuity's chief engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. He said in a statement that with nearly every flight, the helicopter has progressed in new ways. Brown noted that over the past nine months, Ingenuity had doubled its top speed and height records. In addition, the aircraft's operating speed and landings improved.特拉维斯·布朗 (Travis Brown) 是位于加州 NASA 喷气推进实验室 (JPL) 的 Ingenuity 首席工程师。 他在一份声明中表示，几乎每次飞行，直升机都以新的方式取得进展。 布朗指出，在过去的九个月里，独创号将其最高速度和高度记录翻了一番。 此外，飞机的运行速度和着陆次数也有所提高。Most Ingenuity flights only last two to three minutes. This is because the helicopter has energy and temperature limitations.大多数 Ingenuity 航班仅持续两到三分钟。 这是因为直升机有能量和温度的限制。NASA engineers say they have also been careful not to try to fly Ingenuity too fast because this can cause problems with its navigation system. The helicopter uses a camera to identify rocks and other things on the surface as it travels. If the aircraft goes too fast, it might not be able to navigate the best way forward.美国宇航局工程师表示，他们也一直小心翼翼地不要试图让“聪明号”飞得太快，因为这可能会导致其导航系统出现问题。 直升机在飞行时使用摄像头来识别地面上的岩石和其他物体。 如果飞机速度太快，它可能无法以最佳的方式前进。Controllers on the ground have said that to help with this issue, they have sent commands to Ingenuity to fly at higher levels. This way the aircraft has less chance of losing its way because surface objects stay in view longer.地面管制人员表示，为了帮助解决这个问题，他们已向“聪明号”发出指令，让其在更高的高度飞行。 这样，飞机迷失方向的机会就会减少，因为表面物体在视野中停留的时间更长。NASA says Ingenuity established a new height record, on flight 61, of 24 meters as it examined Martian wind conditions. On flight 62, the helicopter set a new speed record of 10 meters per second. During this flight Ingenuity also identified a new place for the Perseverance rover to carry out science experiments.NASA 表示，Ingenuity 在第 61 次飞行中检查火星风况时创造了 24 米的新高度记录。 在第62次飞行中，直升机创下了每秒10米的新速度记录。 在这次飞行中，独创号还为毅力号火星车确定了一个进行科学实验的新地点。As that testing continues on Mars, teams on the ground have been experimenting with new rotor blades. These could be used in the future with a new generation of Mars helicopters. During the tests, engineers reported the rotor blades had reached speeds nearly equal to Mach 1, the speed of sound.随着火星测试的继续，地面团队一直在试验新的转子叶片。 这些可以在未来与新一代火星直升机一起使用。 在测试过程中，工程师报告说转子叶片的速度几乎等于 1 马赫（音速）。The blades tested on Earth are made of carbon material and are more than 10 centimeters longer than Ingenuity's. The blades were designed to be both faster and stronger. NASA has said such rotor blades should be able to support bigger, more complex helicopters. The team said in a statement the helicopter design must reach the right balance. If the blades spin too fast, this causes control issues that can increase the risk of crashes.在地球上测试的叶片由碳材料制成，比 Ingenuity 的叶片长 10 厘米以上。 刀片设计得更快、更强。 美国宇航局表示，这种旋翼叶片应该能够支持更大、更复杂的直升机。 该团队在一份声明中表示，直升机的设计必须达到适当的平衡。 如果叶片旋转太快，就会导致控制问题，从而增加碰撞风险。The Earth-based tests were carried out in September inside a space simulator at NASA's JPL. For these experiments, the simulator aimed to establish a Mars-like environment. The team was measuring tests of the rotor blades with sensors, cameras and other equipment. Many different speeds were tested and the blades were repeatedly repositioned to observe the best results.地面测试于 9 月份在 NASA 喷气推进实验室的太空模拟器内进行。 对于这些实验，模拟器的目的是建立一个类似火星的环境。 该团队正在使用传感器、摄像机和其他设备对转子叶片进行测量测试。 测试了许多不同的速度，并反复重新定位刀片以观察最佳结果。“We spun our blades up to 3,500 rpm, which is 750 revolutions per minute faster than the Ingenuity blades have gone,” said Tyler Del Sesto, a leader of the JPL testing. “These more efficient blades are now more than a hypothetical exercise. They are ready to fly,” he added.JPL 测试负责人 Tyler Del Sesto 表示：“我们将叶片旋转至 3,500 rpm，这比 Ingenuity 叶片的转速每分钟快 750 转。” “这些更高效的刀片现在不仅仅是一个假设的练习。 他们已经准备好起飞了，”他补充道。

The objective of the mission was to test a planetary defense system intended to nudge asteroids away from Earth. NASA's DART spacecraft crashed into an asteroid to see how that would affect its orbit around Didymos. Swedish startup Stilfold has developed robotic arms that fold sheets of steel over curves to form complex and lightweight structures. The project is backed by the ESA and Swedish astronaut Anders Nyvang. The agency offers funding and mentoring for companies developing space-based applications.SpinLaunch has raised $71 million in funding to accelerate the commercialization of its launch system. The company's kinetic launch vehicle uses centrifugal force to propel things to orbit. It's already conducted test launches using a 33-meter system it calls a "suborbital mass accelerator".Artemis 1 is a joint mission between the Space Launch System and Orion spacecraft. The Eastern Range is still evaluating NASA's request for a waiver.SpaceX and NASA are working on a study to see if it's possible for a private company to visit the Hubble Space Telescope. The observatory has been visited by spacecraft five times in its 32-year life. Apple is adding a limited form of satellite connectivity to new iPhones. Emergency SOS lets users send an SOS even  when they're off the grid, no dish required. The company's small payload Alpha rocket reached orbit after taking off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. This is the company's first orbit, following its first attempt just over a year ago that exploded mid-flight.Lynk demonstrated a direct satellite-to-phone (and back) emergency connectivity service late last year with its test orbital cell tower. They just got FCC approval for it, meaning it's just a matter of selecting a mobile network partner to bring it to market here in the States. NASA's Ingenuity.

The FDA has permanently lifted a restriction on access to abortion pills. This will allow patients to receive the medication by mail instead of requiring them to schedule an in-person appointment with specially certified health care providers. The decision will not change state laws that ban the pills, but it's one piece of positive news in an otherwise dark future for abortion rights.  President Biden indicates that the Build Back Better bill will not be passed before the Christmas break, despite Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer's assurances that it would. The Senate had no problem, however, of passing a $768 billion, one-year defense spending bill on a vote of 88-11. So, we won't get critical climate action, paid family leave, universal preschool, or hearing aid coverage, but we will get more, shiny nuclear weapons this holiday season.  Did  1,400 Union workers at Kellogg's may have an agreement that would end their 10-week strike.
