Makes sense, those satellites are well past their scheduled lifespan.

We can pretty much launch anything now without physical human interaction in space. The ISS needs help guiding things into place but tech is getting better so it will not be long until the resupply ships and modules can be automatically gui

SpaceX has been launching the Falcon 9 for the past 6 years straight with only two launch failures and one partial failure out of 65 flights. Their older Falcon 1 didn't do great, only last flight survived out of five tries. However, S

QZSS adds one geosynchronous and three tundra orbit satellites so depending on where you are in the city, you could be seeing two or more QZSS satellites. It's not going to replace GPS but its going to help with getting a quicker locat

It's not really that different of a purpose. You want at least one satellite visible in the sky, not on the horizon, nearly overhead. A highly elliptical geo tundra orbit gives you that overhead pass that a normal geostationary orbit c

I can't find any mention of "devil welcomes him to breakfast" other than that article and quotes from that article.

It's probably just Rit dye or a similar brand. It's a pretty stable dye.

Right, you always get nickeled and dimed more at the higher end places because they just assume you can afford it. However not all Hilton places suck. Hilton Garden Inn is pretty good, free breakfast, free wifi, and the rooms are nice. I&#x

The Buran was never man-rated so doing an unmanned mission would have been the only way to test it.

We pretty much do. If you have enough money, there is no such thing as legal trouble. It was just a misunderstanding (once the check clears, of course).

Things like the Blackbird seem really amazing but whats out there now is even more amazing. It's crazy they were able to do all of that back then with just hand tools. But now you could design the same thing sooner, cheaper, and make t

Agencies always have official spokespeople and anyone making comments to the press about things they shouldn't be talking about (like an active investigation) can get in a lot of trouble if that agency finds out it was them who leaked

Only problem with LF stuff is that you need a pretty big antenna. You would be better off designing a chip with an RF section that operates in the GHz range so you can get away with a tiny microstrip antenna or with the antenna inside the c

A US intelligence agency nowadays would just issue a National Security Letter and force you to not say anything otherwise you go to jail. Most people really don't want to go to jail. An intelligence agency would really only resort to b

No, they would just tell you that you're lucky to still have a job. Even if they gave you a raise, you just increase your chances of being a layoff target since you cost the company more now. If you are saved from a massive layoff like

A (presumably) Dubaian team boarded a US flagged boat in (possibly) Indian territorial waters. No one is concerned over this? Was the yacht not really a US vessel? If it was actually a Dubaian vessel then that team probably has authority ov

I remember working on a similar project in college. We had to create our own XGA driver in verilog, display a chessboard and a few chess pieces. Code running on the ARM in the SoC would handle some simple commands to send new positions of t

A lot of those ads seem to think that anyone would buy those homes to renovate them. Tearing them down seems to be the smart decision, if you could even consider buying abandoned Detroit homes smart. One of them has fire damage throughout t

A ground station is going to involve some RF equipment first: an LNA to boost the received signal then that feeds into a down convertor to bring it to 1200MHz typically. The 1200MHz signal goes into a modem which can either be something ver

Except you need missiles to go much faster than ion thrusters can go. 11 mph is enough for someone to shoot down your missile with a rifle.

At least in the US, you can record anything you want in public. There are some limits for things you see on private property from a public area (like using a telephoto lens for snapping pics of someone's bedroom) but if someone is in p

If you are in public, you have no right to privacy. Anyone can record you. You don't have to be overtly recording all of your interactions but there is nothing unethical about recording everything you see in public.

I built something similar for my senior design project. We made a game of Pacman using two little rovers running FreeRTOS with RN-131C wifi modules on a PIC board and an overhead PixyCam connected to a raspberry pi. The rovers had a color s

You still need an SD card in there but all it needs is a bootloader and a config file that allows booting from USB. You can make the /boot partition read only so there's no chance of it being screwed up. SD cards do suck but at le
