NASA's New Orion Spaceship Makes a Splash in Ocean Tests

SAN PEDRO, California NASA's next spaceship, the Orion capsule, has had a wet summer.

For a full week in August, NASA engineers and the U.S. Navy worked side by side to practice retrieving the new spacecraft from the Pacific Ocean after a water splashdown like the one that will end the capsule's upcoming test flight in December.

The tests were based from the USS Anchorage, an amphibious Navy transport that was temporarily assigned to NASA's Orion recovery exercises. Another round of sea trials is scheduled for September. [NASA's Orion Spaceship in Pictures]

"We ran six or seven different tests," said Mike Folger, who manages part of the Orion recovery operation from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, as the sea trials ended on Aug. 6. "First, we released it inside the well deck and make sure that we can control it the way we think we can."

The well deck is an area in the rear of the ship that opens to the sea, allowing water to flood inside. Normally, Marines use it to launch amphibious assault craft. For this first in a series of tests, the NASA and Navy teams simply allowed the capsule to wallow inside the back end of the Anchorage.

"Once we got comfortable with that, we released the test article behind the ship and sent a couple of Navy boats out with divers and a horse collar," Folger said. The horse collar loops around Orion, securing the craft to a winched cable that is used to tow Orion into the recovery ship.

Despite a few small hiccups, including one horse collar that began to come unstitched, the tests were successful.

"We did this in calm seas," Folger said. "Then we looked for seas that were a bit more riled up. We're not sure what the weather is going to be like in December in the Pacific, so we need to try it in a number of different conditions."

The first test flight of Orion is called Exploration Flight Test 1 (EFT-1), and will be launched on a Delta 4 Heavy rocket in early December. [How NASA's First Orion Flight Will Work (Video)]

While Orion is a 21st-century spacecraft, its capsule may remind people of the smaller Apollo command modules from the 1960s. And indeed, much learning from that program has contributed to this vessel's testing.

NASA Invites Public to Submit Messages for Asteroid Mission Time Capsule

NASA is inviting the worldwide public to submit short messages and images on social media that could be placed in a time capsule aboard a spacecraft launching to an asteroid in 2016.

Called the Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx), the spacecraft will rendezvous with the asteroid Bennu in 2019, collect a sample and return the cache in a capsule to Earth in 2023 for detailed study. The robotic mission will spend more than two years at the 1,760-foot (500-meter)-wide asteroid and return a minimum of 2 ounces (60 grams) of its surface material.

Topics for submissions by the public should be about solar system exploration in 2014 and predictions for space exploration activities in 2023. The mission team will choose 50 tweets and 50 images to be placed in the capsule. Messages can be submitted Sept. 2 - 30.

"Our progress in space exploration has been nothing short of amazing," says Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx principal investigator at the University of Arizona, Tucson. "I look forward to the public taking their best guess at what the next 10 years holds and then comparing their predictions with actual missions in development in 2023."

This event is the second of NASAs efforts to engage space enthusiasts around the world in the OSIRIS-REx mission, following the agencys January invitation to participate in Messages to Bennu, which asked the public to submit their names to be etched on a microchip aboard the spacecraft.

"It is exciting to think that some people may formulate predictions then have the chance to help make their prediction a reality over the next decade," said Jason Dworkin, OSIRIS-REx project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

NASA Cassini Significant Events for 08/20/2014 – 08/26/2014

Cassini is orbiting Saturn with a 31.9-day period in a plane inclined 44.6 degrees from the planet's equatorial plane. The most recent spacecraft tracking and telemetry data were obtained on Aug. 26 using one of the 34 meter-diameter Deep Space Network (DSN) stations at Canberra, Australia. The spacecraft continues to be in an excellent state of health with all of its subsystems operating normally except for the instrument issues described at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/significantevents/anomalies. Information on the present position of the Cassini spacecraft may be found on "Eyes on the Solar System":

http://1.usa.gov/1pEI4aQ

This week's highlight was the T-104 encounter with Saturn's enigmatic moon Titan early Thursday morning. During the close encounter, all the spacecraft's rotations and scientific observations executed with precision, commanded by the on-board S85 command sequence. The DSN captured every bit of the long-distance telemetry playback on the following day. Thanks to the DSN's exquisitely sensitive radiometric tracking, the Cassini Navigation team determined that the spacecraft had flown within 90 meters of its target. With such accurate targeting, Monday morning's opportunity to execute a post-encounter trajectory-cleanup rocket firing did not have to be used.

Wednesday, Aug. 20 (DOY 232)

Dutifully following Newton's and Kepler's laws, Cassini began slowing a bit while coasting up and away from yesterday's Saturn-orbit periapsis. Today the spacecraft rotated so that its telescopic instruments could begin their observations of Titan across the spectrum. From now until Friday, Titan came under the close scrutiny of the Visible and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS), the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), and the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). At times, more than one instrument "rode along," acquiring data while another instrument had command of the ship's attitude.

In addition to the remote-sensing instruments' observations, Cassini's direct-sensing instruments made essentially continuous observations during this segment as well: the Magnetometer, the Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument, the Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument, and the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS).

Inbound to Titan today, CIRS focused on mid- and far-infrared nadir integrations to measure the abundances of carbon monoxide, water, and cyanide. ISS made a mosaic of southern latitudes on Titan's sub-Saturnian hemisphere, and VIMS took low resolution images while riding along with ISS. Observations covered latitudes between the equator and 60 degrees south, and included monitoring the south polar vortex.

Thursday, Aug. 21 (DOY 233)

RADAR operated in altimetry mode, and later made high-priority SAR-mode observations. INMS served as the spacecraft's primary instrument inbound near closest approach, commanding the best spacecraft attitude for ingesting and analyzing the content of Titan's ionosphere. Subsequently, INMS rode along while RADAR controlled pointing.

On the outbound leg after RADAR finished, VIMS became prime. It monitored the northern great lake Kraken Mare at the point where a specular reflection of infrared sunlight might be glimpsed. Catching one would help assess whether liquids are still present, and if still liquid whether winds create waves on the surface. VIMS also looked for clouds at high northern latitudes and mapped the north polar area to monitor the evolution of its lakes and seas. ISS acquired a mosaic of northern latitudes on Titan's trailing hemisphere.

NASA to manage drone traffic?

By Trevor Mogg

Despite Amazons ongoing work with its Prime Air delivery-by-drone project, and the recent revelation that Google has been working on a similar drone program for the last two years, the commercial operation of drones is still prohibited in the US.

However, once the laws are ironed out and rules put in place, there could come a day when our skies are buzzing with swarms of these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing a range of tasksfor a huge array of businesses. And with news Monday that NASA is developing a traffic management system for the low-flying aircraft, that day could be closer than you think.

At Moffett Field in southern Mountain View only a few miles from Googles Silicon Valley HQ NASAis examiningways to manage and control drone flights in the skies above the US, according to a NY Times report.

Related: Amazon asks FAA for permission to test its Prime Air drones outdoors

Described as a separate air traffic control system for things that fly low to the ground around 400 to 500 feet for most drones, its implementation could bring order to potentially chaotic skies, increasing safety significantly.

The system, which is still in development, would monitor the skies for other low-flying traffic, and also keep tabs on changing weather conditions, with strong winds proving particularly challenging for drones.

Itd also serve to protect nearby buildings as well as people in and around them from the flying machines, with clearly defined no-fly zones issued to all companies utilizing the technology

Instead of air traffic controllers communicating with drone operators, NASAs system will be entirely computer-based, using carefully designed algorithms toautomaticallycontrol flights. The system could be implemented as early as next year, with applications including crop monitoring expected.

How bubble studies benefit science and engineering

6 hours ago Credit: ESA

The image above shows a perfect bubble imploding in weightlessness. This bubble, and many like it, are produced by the researchers from the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland. What makes this bubble so perfect is that it is produced in a weightless environment, which means it is not deformed by gravity. These research bubbles are the most spherical known to science at this time.

The study of bubbles and the way they explode will have ongoing benefits for space and industry. Air pressure ensures that liquids stay just that: liquids. Bubbles are produced when liquids change state into gases. For instance, on mountain topswhere we have considerably less air pressurewater is able to boil, changing state into a gas, at a lower temperature.

In the vacuum of space, there is nothing to slow down the production of bubbles, so in space when liquids experience sudden pressure drops, a process called 'cavitation' can occur where bubbles form in the hydraulic systems of machines.

During the very fast and violent collapse of cavitation bubbles, their energy is expelled in jets and shocks, which can cause wear and tear in industrial machines and rocket pumps.

These are just two areas where knowing more about the physics of bubbles would help design better machines. To understand bubbles better, it helps to have a perfect model of them for observation.

On Earth, gravity pushes and pulls liquids, turning round bubbles into 'egg' shapes. Parabolic flights allow researchers to escape gravity for around 20 seconds at a time in special aircraft performing rollercoaster-like parabolic manoeuvres.

The team from Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne shines lasers on pure water and captures the bubbles on camera as they form and implode in a matter of less than a millisecond.

There is positive potential in the bubbles too. Harnessing the energy that liquid bubbles give off as they implode could be a novel source of energy in the future.

One example that researchers are working on is producing very localised heat on demand by creating and imploding bubbles with ultrasound. This technique could activate heat-sensitive drugs in the future, turning them on in very specific parts of your body, to make sure they work where needed most.

UO-Berkeley Lab unveil new nano-sized synthetic scaffolding technique

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:

2-Sep-2014

Contact: Jim Barlow jebarlow@uoregon.edu 541-346-3481 University of Oregon

EUGENE, Ore. -- Scientists, including University of Oregon chemist Geraldine Richmond, have tapped oil and water to create scaffolds of self-assembling, synthetic proteins called peptoid nanosheets that mimic complex biological mechanisms and processes.

The accomplishment -- detailed this week in a paper placed online ahead of print by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences -- is expected to fuel an alternative design of the two-dimensional peptoid nanosheets that can be used in a broad range of applications. Among them could be improved chemical sensors and separators, and safer, more effective drug-delivery vehicles.

Study co-author Ronald Zuckermann of the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) first developed these ultra-thin nanosheets in 2010 using an air-and-water combination.

"We often think of oil on water as something that is environmentally bad when, in fact, my group over the past 20 years has been studying the unique properties of the junction between water and oil as an interesting place for molecules to assemble in unique ways -- including for soaps and oil dispersants," said Richmond, who holds a UO presidential chair. "This study shows it is also a unique platform for making nanosheets."

Lead authors on the project were Ellen J. Robertson, a doctoral student in Richmond's lab at the time of the research, and Gloria K. Oliver, a postdoctoral researcher at LBNL. Robertson is now a postdoctoral researcher at LBNL.

Work in Richmond's lab helped to identify the mechanism behind the formation of the nanosheets at an oil-water interface.

"Supramolecular assembly at an oil-water interface is an effective way to produce 2D nanomaterials from peptoids because that interface helps pre-organize the peptoid chains to facilitate their self-interaction," said Zuckermann, a senior scientist at LBNL's Molecular Foundry in a news release. "This increased understanding of the peptoid assembly mechanism should enable us to scale-up to produce large quantities, or scale- down, using microfluidics, to screen many different nanosheets for novel functions."

Ministers book looks at relationship between Lincoln and Lovejoy

DeKALB William and Jane Ann Moore hope people will discover the words of abolitionist Owen Lovejoy and find them as powerful today as they were 150 years ago.

Retired ministers, the Moores spent a decade writing Collaborators for Emancipation, a book that examines the surprising relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Owen Lovejoy and how that relationship helped to end slavery. The University of Illinois Press officially released the 158-page book in August.

The theme is really trusting people that you disagree with, William Moore said. If that isnt a theme of today, I dont know what is.

In the book, the authors dive into the mens politics, personal traits and religious convictions, some of which made Lincoln and Lovejoy an unlikely pair. Lincoln was a cautious lawyer who deplored abolitionists breaking the law while Lovejoy was a vocal anti-slavery activist who manned a stop on the underground railroad, William Moore explained.

However unlikely their friendship, Lincoln referred to it as one of increasing respect and esteem. Its also one that has captivated the Moores for the past 25 years.

Before William and Jane Ann Moore arrived as pastors for the First Congregational United Church of Christ in DeKalb in 1986, they had never heard of Owen Lovejoy. But soon after their arrival, they found a history book that revealed the church had been part of the anti-slavery movement. All members of the denomination had to live by a covenant promising to treat others with kindness and respect regardless of their skin color. The discovery led them to Lovejoy.

Impressed by his pragmatism and high ideals about how you attain power and what you do once you have it, they quickly developed an affinity for the Illinois Congregationalist clergyman who lived from 1811 to 1864

I think we are all looking for people that we admire, Jane Ann Moore said, as her eyes began to well up with tears. And people who give us hope, people who have accomplished the things that need to be accomplished. We found that in him.

William Moore founded the Lovejoy Society in 1995. He also portrayed Lovejoy on C-SPAN in 1994 after the first Lincoln-Douglas debate re-enactments in Ottawa. The couple has spent nearly 25 years searching for Lovejoys sermons and writings, following clues that would lead them to more material across the country. After they retired from the church in 2001, they edited a book that was published in 2004 called, His Brothers Blood: Speeches and Writings, 1838 to 1864.

Lovejoy also is often overshadowed by his younger brother, Elijah Lovejoy, who was assassinated in 1837 for printing an antislavery newspaper. After Elijahs assassination, Lovejoy vowed to end slavery.

From the U.S. to Berlin: Junior Research Group Leaders for the MDC and NeuroCure

01.09.2014 - (idw) Max-Delbrck-Centrum fr Molekulare Medizin (MDC) Berlin-Buch

Cancer research and the neurosciences at the Max Delbrck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) have been strengthened. The biologist Dr. Michela Di Virgilio from The Rockefeller University in New York, USA began work in September as Helmholtz junior research group leader at the MDC, a research institution of the Helmholtz Association. Concurrently with Dr. Di Virgilio, the neuroscientist Dr. Niccol Zampieri from Columbia University, New York, USA began work as junior research group leader at the MDC and in the excellence cluster NeuroCure* of Charit Universittsmedizin Berlin. Dr. Di Virgilio explores the repair mechanisms with which cells respond to DNA damage. Among other factors, DNA damage can result from ionizing and UV rays, chemicals or toxic metabolic products which occur thousands of times per day. However, cells have control systems that can detect and repair DNA damage within a short time. These repair systems comprise the first line of defense to prevent permanent damage to the DNA. If the repair of the DNA damage does not succeed, or if errors occur, cancer can develop. Moreover, DNA repair systems are of central importance in the treatment of cancer patients with radiation and/or chemotherapy. The frequent resistance to therapy is usually due to a mutation of the DNA repair genes in the tumor cells.

Dr. Di Virgilio received her doctorate from the Universit degli Studi di Milano, Milan, Italy for the work she performed at Columbia University in New York City in the laboratory of the geneticist and developmental biologist Professor Jean Gautier. She then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at The Rockefeller University in the laboratory of the immunologist Professor Michel C. Nussenzweig. There she investigated repair mechanisms in B cells, the antibody-producing cells of the immune system. In the field of DNA repair, her results are considered to be groundbreaking.

*Along with Charit, the partners of NeuroCure are Humboldt-Universitt zu Berlin, Freie Universitt Berlin, the Max Delbrck Center for Moleculare Medicine (MDC), the Leibniz-Institut fr Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) and the German Rheumatism Research Center Berlin (DRFZ).

iCloud celebrity photo hack: Are we too quick to trust cloud storage?

The theft of hundreds of private photos belonging to well-known celebrities - including naked pictures of The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence - has left Apple facing searching questions about the security of its iCloud service.

The Apple cloud storage system - which automatically backs up documents and images stored on people's iPhone and iPad devices - was broken into by hackers, who then shared the private images of celebrities that they stole on notorious messaging board 4Chan. The photos went viral, with reports of the image thefts being spread via social media and the wider web.

But while the teenage boys of Reddit clamoured to gawp at photos of naked celebrity women, the real issue here is arguably this question: are people too quick to trust the security of cloud storage services like iCloud? After all, this episode might not involve sensitive corporate data, but it still represents a massive data breach for those who've had their private photos exposed.

"It is a stark reminder of the potential consequences of having sensitive material lying around in the cloud," said Chris Boyd, malware intelligence analyst at Malwarebytes, who pointed out that individuals may not be aware that their smartphones are automatically backing up their files to a cloud server.

"With today's devices being very keen to push data to their own respective cloud services, people should be careful that sensitive media isn't automatically uploaded to the web, or other paired devices," he said, going on to warn that these services might also be keeping hold of deleted files, too.

"People should also investigate the deletion procedures for online storage. Many services enable you to 'undo' deletions, which could cause problems in certain situations."

Eduard Meelhuysen, EMEA vice president of Netskope, told Computing that while many organisations don't allow the official use of applications like Apple's iCloud, the popularity of the iPhone means that it's always possible that employees are using it to store corporate data.

"Even if you don't think your organisation is using iCloud, your employees undoubtedly are. Apps like iCloud, which are predominantly aimed at consumers, are such an essential part of users' lives that blocking their use within a business environment isn't really an option," he said, adding that the iCloud breach means "questions around security need to be addressed".

That, Meelhuysen argued, means teaching employees about the risks of uploading files - whether corporate or personal - into the cloud.

"Rather than block iCloud, or any app for that matter, organisations should try to shape usage by stopping risky behaviours, such as the upload of personal identifiable information or the sharing of sensitive content outside of the company. That way you can mitigate risk while enabling the use of cloud in your business," he said.
