While on the temperature side, I would agree with you (though ideally you would want something that starts at 0 like Kelvin), this is different on the distance and weigh side. The strength of the metric system is not on the particular dimen

If you look up non-English corpus, you can see an effect. Here in Spanish, but also in French and Italian ones. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Dan+Simmons%2C... The effect can obviously be very little in

This is also taken into account in software engineering. Most software have defense in depth against single point of failure, they can recover or cope with wrong input. But you cannot compare them because the context is different: software

Six years is not that long. You need to have the frequency to finalize the design of your payload, if not your satellite. And for big constellations you need the frequency to talk seriously with your investors. So 6 years to design a platfo

It is available on the ITU website. You will have satellite names (which should be similar to what you'll see in space-track, most of the time). I believe you need to pay to have access to those, but when you have a direct link to a sp

They don't even have to keep the fee of the query is legitimate. They can reimburse it or keep it in the user's wallet when they consider that this was either a false positive or a honest mistake. The cost would be minimal but wou

You can't really cross oceans with microwaves though. So a London from can gain a competitive advantage against other London firms on Wall Street exchange.

The parent poster is not talking about that, he/she is talking about the COCOM limits placed on GPS receivers sold commercially: the GPS would not provide an output when traveling faster than 1900km/h at an altitude over 18km (tho

My best guess is that SpaceX did last minute changes to the rocket, either hardware or software, deviating from the documents submitted to the FAA. This could explain why the FAA only reacts now and would make sense with what Musk said abou

For electric thrusters on cubesats, you can basically ignore the mass variations for most high level calculations. Propellant mass is so little and the specific impulse so high that unless you are using all the propellant in one giant maneu

You cannot really talk about deltaV capability for a thruster. You can talk about specific impulse, power usage, power dissipation, total impulse. But deltaV implies you know the size of the satellite, which varies for all their customers.

This one flew on a 6U (~35x20x10) and that's really the minimum size for this kind of engines. And even on a 6U, the power limitations make us think twice before putting an engine, it really has to be needed.

You are right that the collisions will dissipate some of the mechanical energy will be dissipated into heat and technically collisions will reduce the duration it takes for the mass of debris that are in orbit. I am not sure if that has a s

The figures in the paper are for the carbon footprint of the bitcoin Blockchain electricity consumption at the primary energy level, while the Falcon 9 figures you give are just launch emissions from the propellant. So not exactly fully com

Capella's competitor Iceye has already achieved 25cm. Physics limitations are even lower than that. But you are right talking about computing power. SAR work in a very different way from optical imagery and data generation/process

The government of your country will need to approve, since they are covering the damage your turd could make to some other satellite. Also, you can send the turd alone, you need to attach it to a launcher, and have a deployment mechanism. Y

The inside of the nozzle uses copper for heat dissipation. There were previous cases of green flames with the Raptor, and Elon said it was copper. The big question is why it was low on methane - bad calculation in the planned consumption, t

A bit tongue-in-cheek, but Apple only just launched the public beta phase of MacOS on ARM. There is plenty of time for developers to work on this until the release of the stable product (M2 or whatever it will be named).

And the mechanical and thermal shocks it gets when it passes from the vacuum chamber to the atmosphere. IMHO the centrifuge part is the easiest of their challenges.

Portion of cost in GDP is not equal to importance. What is the cost of water in the GDP? Much less than the cost of the energy. What would be the GDP without water? Nil. There would be no GDP because we would all be dead.

One option is really to recycle it so that only waste are the actinides. There is plenty of uranium and plutonium that is inert/useful in the nuclear waste. It reduces the waste amount by several orders of magnitude. https:/&#x2F

Code is not the only element in the process generating GHG. The coder's way of life, the coder's tool, the resources needed should all be taken into account. What matters in the end is the global footprint of the code. Writing qui

For the trigger in the last 200 years, it is just fossile fuels. Having all this energy provides us with enough food and comfort to survive, thus lot's of spare time and spare manpower dedicated to research and improving tech. It also

Regarding the planes, the Soviets had a plane working with hydrogen (and methane I believe). It's not particularly impossible, and at least much more doable than using batteries (for commercial jets). The flying wing is a design improv

Yeah, That's what I have been taught as well. Though the direct effect is very small and it's not part of many geoengineering plans because it is not great for us anyway. And you would also need to take into account the carbon fo
