Kyvernitis Travel: Global Marine Partners With Cornerstone

Posted on by

Bloomington, IN (PRWEB) March 27, 2014

Kyvernitis Travel: Global Marine, the latest project of the well-established Greek agency Kyvernitis Travel, has chosen to partner with Cornerstone Information Systems to take advantage of custom quality control products to improve efficiency and customer service. Global Marine specializes in transporting crew members to offshore sites, for example, oil platforms, cruise embarkation points, and shipping sites. This type of booking is more complex than traditional business travel because it is largely international, focuses on far-away hubs, and includes many one-way trips.

Cornerstones iQCX technology is uniquely suited to manage the complex world of marine travel booking. A rules-based quality control engine offers much more flexibility than a standard QC product and allows agents to handle more PNRs with less effort. Instead of struggling against a standard QC products pop-up windows and warnings, iQCX QC can be tailored to meet any agencys needsincluding those as complex as marine booking.

Cornerstone prides itself on the ability to customize its technology to meet the specific needs of an agency, and entering into the world of marine travel has been no exception. Kyle Moser, Managing Director of Global Business Development, says, We are very excited about working with Kyvernitis. As a leading player in the marine travel market, we believe we can help them deliver even greater value to their customers, and at the same time they can help us push the envelope on iQCX bringing automation into new markets. We expect to do great things together.

Astronauts to Test 'Touchy-Feely' Wearable Robot Joystick in Space

Posted on by

This summer, astronauts on the International Space Station will test an innovative wearable joystick that may someday allow humans to remotely control robots on other worlds.

The European Space Agency will launch a super-sensitive joystick, which agency officials described as "touchy-feely" in a project overview, to the space station to help engineers learn better ways to telerobotically operate a robot on a planet's surface. The astronauts will use the joystick and fill out questionnaires on its performance as part of a study on human motor control in long-term weightlessness.

"Future planetary exploration may well see robots on an alien surface being teleoperated by humans in orbitabove them close enough for real-time remote control, without any significant signal lag, to benefit from human resourcefulness without the expense and danger of a manned landing," ESA officials explained in a written.

Because the laws of physics dictate that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, the joystick apparatus must be attached to a body harness, which in turn is bolted to the inside of the station. If the joystick wasn't secured, moving it would cause the floating astronaut to careen around the room.

Like many video games, the joystick will both resist the astronaut's motions and create forces of its own, simulating the feeling of encountering objects on a moon or planet's surface. By conducting a series of tests, astronauts will help scientists understand how touch feedback feels in microgravity, and what happens to a person's motor control after prolonged periods of weightlessness.

NASA pushes for U.S.-run 'taxi' to space station

Posted on by

WASHINGTON Russia's annexation of Crimea may have put the world economy on edge, but for the U.S. rocket industry, at least, the standoff over Ukraine hasn't been all bad.

Since the showdown began, NASA officials, along with industry groups and politicians such as U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, have renewed calls to speed up the creation of a U.S.-run "taxi service" to the International Space Station.

The goal is to free NASA from having to pay Russia to fly U.S. astronauts to the outpost. The service is costing NASA about $1.7 billion from 2012 to 2017.

In a Tuesday blog post, NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden blamed Congress for not giving NASA enough money to fund the taxi service, which would pay U.S. rocket companies to transport NASA astronauts to the station.

"Later today [Tuesday], NASA astronaut Steve Swanson will lift off towards the International Space Station, not from the Space Coast of Florida or some other American spaceport, but from Kazakhstan on a Russian spacecraft," Bolden wrote. "And unfortunately, the plan put forward by the Obama Administration to address this situation has been stymied by some in Congress."

After a successful launch, Swanson and his Russian crew mates were supposed to reach the station Tuesday, but trouble with thrusters on their Soyuz spacecraft has delayed the rendezvous until Thursday.

In making his case, Bolden did not suggest that the U.S.-Russia partnership in space was about to splinter because of Russia's annexation of Crimea, a former Ukrainian territory.

But he argued that if Congress had fully funded NASA's taxi service, the agency would have the option to pay U.S. companies, such as Boeing and SpaceX, for these flights much sooner instead of relying on Russia. NASA has paid Russia to transport its astronauts since the U.S. retired the space shuttle in 2011.

"Recognizing that this was unacceptable, President Obama has requested in NASA's budget more than $800 million each of the past five years to incentivize the American aerospace industry to build the spacecraft needed to launch our astronauts from American soil," Bolden wrote.

"Had this plan been fully funded, we would have returned American human spaceflight launches and the jobs they support back to the United States next year."
