Podcasts about Solar sail

Using today's propulsion technology means a trip to Neptune still takes about twelve years.

NASA made the list for TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2024.

The solar sail on NASA's ACS3 spacecraft can be spotted from the ground.

The ScienceCraft for Outer Planet Exploration, or SCOPE, cleverly combines a science instrument with the spacecraft itself.

The ACS3 spacecraft is sending data to Earth that helps the team better understand how the innovative boom technology is performing.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: 30 August 2024Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest and greatest news in space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and I'm thrilled to be guiding you through today's top stories. We have some fascinating updates from the cosmos, spanning from groundbreaking scientific missions to the latest in space tourism adventures. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just a curious stargazer, there's something here for everyone. So let's dive into some exciting content that's sure to ignite your imagination and fuel your passion for all things celestial.Highlights:- NASA and Boeing's Starliner Mission Uncrewed Return: NASA and Boeing are gearing up for an uncrewed return mission of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft. The spacecraft is slated to undock from the International Space Station no earlier than 06:04 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 6, and will begin a roughly six-hour journey to its designated landing site at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. This mission follows NASA's decision on August 24 to conduct the Starliner return without a human crew, ensuring that Starliner can perform a fully autonomous return to Earth.- NASA's Advanced Composite Solar Sail System: NASA has announced a significant milestone with the successful deployment of its advanced composite solar sail system. On August 29, mission operators confirmed the deployment of the sail-hoisting boom system. This innovative technology spans approximately 860 sq ft and is expected to influence the design and operation of future solar sail missions.- Blue Origin's NS-26 Mission: Blue Origin has successfully completed its 8th human spaceflight with Mission NS-26. This latest venture included a diverse group of six thrill-seekers, among them Carson Kitchen, a 21-year-old senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who became the youngest woman to ever cross the Karman line. The entire flight lasted between ten to eleven minutes, offering these space tourists a brief but extraordinary glimpse into the cosmos.- NASA's Lunar South Pole Research: NASA has awarded a lucrative contract to Intuitive Machines for an ambitious lunar south pole research delivery. This mission will focus on the lunar south pole, an area of great interest due to its unique conditions and potential ice deposits, marking a major step forward in lunar exploration.- Warp Drive and Black Holes: Researchers Remo Garattini and Kirill Zatrimalov have been exploring whether a warp bubble, the key element in a warp drive, could survive the intense gravitational field of a black hole. Their findings suggest that under specific conditions, a warp bubble might just pull it off, opening up the possibility for future research into creating smaller lab-based warp drive models.For more space news, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a sail, solar sails take advantage of the pressure of sunlight for propulsion, eliminating the need for conventional rocket propellant.

Listen Now to 62 Future Now Podcast A promising future lies in potential symbiotic relationships between our tech and nature.  A example of theat lies with the use of algae in the generation of energy from solar panels.  And…how might the climate change gas of methane be actually useful in making things better for us and our planet?  This week, the Planetary Society’s latest Solar Sail spacecraft is now in orbit, and if successful, could pave the way for easy and cheap travel to other planets..slow but steady.. We were inspired by Nina Paley’s review of the new Dune 2 movie and had to share some quotes with you. And while on the movie front, Mrs. Future had some profound things to say about the Netflix documenatry, “The Antisocial Network,” about the history of 4chan and how it led to the QAnon conspiracy theory and the January 6th riots. Nothing to think about there :-) .  We also discuss some of the big future predictions of venture capitalist Vinod Khosla, such as how expertise will soon be free and we’ll all use AI agents for getting information.  And there are our initial experiments to see how the AI’s can make $$ for us, including the use of humor.  Also  this week we enlisted the free ‘expertise’ of coffee entrepreneur Gabrielle Cianfrani in evaluating AI’s foray into coffee blending, and it’s somewhat atypical choices.  Enjoy! AI creates a new kind of coffee blend that is very tasty

Les Johnson is the Principle Investigator with NASA's upcoming Near-Earth Asteroid Scout mission that will fly on the SLS and test solar sail navigation. But at the same time, he's a science fiction author. So, in this interview, we discussed both these sides of his life.

News: NASA Solar Sail Spacecraft to Chase Tiny Asteroid After Artemis I Launch | SciTechDaily (01:25) Launching with the Artemis I uncrewed test flight, NASA's shoebox-size Near-Earth Asteroid Scout will chase down what will become the smallest asteroid ever to be visited by a spacecraft. The asteroid being targeted is, 2020 GEnear-Earth asteroid (NEA) that is less than 60 feet (18 meters) in size Asteroids smaller than 330 feet (100 meters) across have never been explored up close before. The spacecraft will use its science camera to get a closer look, measuring the object's size, shape, rotation, and surface properties. It will ride as one of 10 secondary payloads aboard the powerful Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, which will launch no earlier than March 2022. After it is dispensed in space it will use stainless steel alloy booms to unfurl a solar sail that will expand from a small package to a sail about the size of a racquetball court, or 925 square feet (86 square meters).Will generate thrust by reflecting solar photons – quantum particles of light radiating from the Sun Sunlight acts as a constant force, so a tiny spacecraft equipped with a large solar sail can eventually travel many miles per second. Maneuver by tipping and tilting its sail to change the angle of sunlight The mission will act as a nimble scout for future human and robotic missions that may utilize asteroid resources – and will gain important planetary defense insights about this class of NEA. Julie Castillo-Rogez, the mission's principal science investigator, provides insight as to why looking at even small asteroids are important:“Although large asteroids are of most concern from a planetary defense perspective, objects like 2020 GE are far more common and can pose a hazard to our planet, despite their smaller size.”   Altos bursts out of stealth with $3B, a dream team C-suite and a wildly ambitious plan to reverse disease | FierceBiotech (08:11) Early details of Altos leaked out last year when MIT Technology Review reported Jeff Bezos had invested to support development of technology that could “revitalize entire animal bodies, ultimately prolonging human life.” The official reveal fleshes out the vision in more detail Hal Barron, M.D, the future CEO of Altos, provided a statement on the company:“It's clear from work by Shinya Yamanaka, and many others since his initial discoveries, that cells have the ability to rejuvenate, resetting their epigenetic clocks and erasing damage from a myriad of stressors. These insights, combined with major advances in a number of transformative technologies, inspired Altos to reimagine medical treatments where reversing disease for patients of any age is possible.” Yamanaka is a 2012 Nobel Prize winner for the discovery of the ‘Yamanaka factors' — four transcription factors (Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc and Klf4) that can reprogram cells to roll back cellular aging and repair tissues.  Altos is bringing in the biggest names in life sciences to staff out their C level positions at the company. The team will use $3 billion in capital committed by investors to turn breakthroughs in our understanding of cellular rejuvenation into transformational medicines.  Co-founder, Rick Klausner, M.D., stated in a press release:"Remarkable work over the last few years beginning to quantify cellular health and the mechanisms behind that, coupled with the ability to effectively and safely reprogram cells and tissues via rejuvenation pathways, opens this new vista into the medicine of the future. Altos begins with many of the leading scientists who are creating this new science. Together, we are building a company where many of the world's best scientists can collaborate internally and externally and develop their research with the speed, mission, and focus of private enterprise. Our success will depend upon a culture of intense collaboration, enthusiasm, and openness." David Baltimore, PhD, a board member provided a positive goal Altos is shooting for:“The goal of Altos will be to reverse the ravages of disease and aging that lead to disability and death, reinvigorating and extending the quality of life. Altos will provide an unparalleled environment for collaborative discovery and has already attracted a most impressive group of investigators to the daunting task of reversing ill health and taking medicine in a new direction.”   Patient-specific spinal model may predict the effect of disc implants | New Atlas (16:28) As people get older, the intervertebral discs in their spine tend to deteriorate, some of which end up being surgically replaced with implants. Who doesn't know someone that has a bad back? A new patient-specific spinal model by scientists at Florida Atlantic University, could help determine how successful such surgery will be. Process:Obtain a CT scan of a patient's spine Create a 3D computer model from the scan Produce a 3D-printed model of one section of the spine with a cervical disc implant already in place Utilize a robotic arm to flex and extend the spinal replica, simulating five different real-life spinal postures Sensors then monitored the manner in which the added implant was causing stress to be distributed throughout the spine. The setup was found to be 100 percent accurate at replicating the effects that the postures would have on the real spine, with the addition of the implanted disc. Once developed further, the technology could be used to determine what sort of implant and/or surgical technique would work best, before the surgery is performed. Additionally, simulations could provide information as to what movements are best while recovering from the surgery.   Intel Is Investing $20 Billion Towards a Massive New Semiconductor Plant | Interesting Engineering (21:10) According to a Reuters report, Intel is set to invest $20 billion into a massive new semiconductor chip manufacturing site near Columbus, Ohio. All coincides with a recent analysis informing that China is "three or four generations" away from being at the cutting edge of semiconductor production. Chipmakers worldwide are frantically trying to boost output amid the global chip shortage brought on by massive demand and supply chain disruption fueled by the pandemic. Intel's new investment will go towards building two new semiconductor manufacturing plants, bringing 3,000 new permanent jobs to the 1,000-acre site in Albany, OhioThe first step in building an eight-factory complex that could cost additional tens of billions of dollars. Intel also recently announced plans for another U.S. campus site that would begin construction before the end of the year.The new site, according to reports, could cost $100 billion and eventually employ 10,000 people.   Elon Musk's brain chip firm Neuralink lines up clinical trials in humans | The Guardian (27:10) The billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's brain chip startup is preparing to launch clinical trials in humans. This is stemming from a job post for Neuralink for a “Clinical Trial Director.” What is mentioned in this post?“As the clinical trial director, you'll work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralink's first clinical trial participants …. You will lead and help build the team responsible for enabling Neuralink's clinical research activities and developing the regulatory interactions that come with a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment.” Just last month, Elon Musk, mentioned his optimism in allowing quadriplegics to move again:“We hope to have this in our first humans, which will be people that have severe spinal cord injuries like tetraplegics, quadriplegics, next year, pending FDA approval … I think we have a chance with Neuralink to restore full-body functionality to someone who has a spinal cord injury. Neuralink's working well in monkeys, and we're actually doing just a lot of testing and just confirming that it's very safe and reliable and the Neuralink device can be removed safely.” The company is also recruiting for a “clinical trial coordinator” to help build a team of people to run the trial and liaise with regulators.  These applicants, according to the posting, have an “opportunity to change the world and work with some of the smartest and the most talented experts from different fields”.

Se habla del momento de una partícula de energía pura y de como utilizarla para propulsión. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/agustin-valenzuela/support

Space Pod Ep 10! Comedy show emcees have a hard time remembering the name of our podcast when they introduce us, lol.What if there's life in outer space but it's just like boring sea life? Amoebas and shi* like that. Let's hope not.Zach takes a brief call from his Mom during the pod recording. Annoying. If all mass has gravity, does all gravity have mass? Uh, what?Should we keep exploring the universe or just get high and have sex with people? No one knows. What if Jupiter was WAY closer to Earth? Would people flip out?These are the kind of things we like to talk about. 10 Episodes! That's double digits. Cheers, Madonna.

Show host Chris O'Regan talks to Neil Millston and Tancred Dyke Wells of Solar Sail Games about the development of the open world action adventure game, Smoke and Sacrifice. A parent's bond with their children is something that is both intangible yet incredibly strong. Smoke and Sacrifice builds on this by having the player take on the role of a mother trying to recover her child that she thought had died 7 years prior.   http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode217.mp3   The Sausage Factory Episode 217 was edited by Chris O'Regan

It’s been about a year since the mysterious interstellar asteroid (or maybe comet) Oumuamua passed through our Solar System. It was going so fast and was so far away that astronomers could see very little before it was off and away into deep space again.

Brian would love to be able to move an MP3 file to his iPhone using AirDrop, helium breaks iPhones, the duo discuss how many spaces should go after a period, Angelo pre-orders Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and he gets videogame married so that he can have some help on his farm. In the paranormal segment, there are weird sounds in downtown Montreal, is it a comet or a solar sail, and humans hatch a plot to annoy aliens with a laser pointer that reaches 20,000 light years. Yes. Really.

This week, we chat with ECU's Snake Doctor to learn about venom and antivenom. Look out for his slithering friends too! Bill Nye the Science Guy chats about his new book and a satellite that uses light to fly around the solar system. See how Raleigh scientists are developing the vaccines of the future. And finally, we see a day in the life of an ocularist, a designer of prosthetics for eyes.

Feature Guest: Pekka Janhunen The electric solar wind sail, or electric sail for short, is an advanced spacecraft propulsion technology that just might revolutionize space travel, making deep-space exploration at high speeds a reality. Or not. To help us separate fact from fiction today our guest host Denise Fong is joined at the star spot by Dr. Pekka Janhunen, the inventor of the electric sail. Current in Space Everyone knows Apollo 11 was the first spaceflight to land humans on the moon. But as Anuj helps us celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 8, we remember why this mission changed everything. Kicking yourself for having missed that recent supernova explosion? Not to worry. Dave explains how some events in the cosmos get re-played over and over again. And can Mars look forward to its very own ring system? Tony explains. About Our Guest Dr. Pekka Janhunen is a space researcher at the Finnish Meteorological Institute. He received his PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Helsinki in 1994. Since then Dr. Janhunen has focused his research in various areas of planetary science. He is best known for his 2006 invention of the Electric Solar Wind Sail. This innovation took place at the Kumpula Space Centre, a collaboration between the Finnish Meteorological Institute,the Department of Physics of the University of Helsinki and the School of Electrical Engineering of Aalto University.
