LOCUST is a ‘Tube-Launched UAV’ That Fly in Swarms

Robot swarms are nothing new but this is borderline terrifying – I can’t imagine what I’d think seeing a swarm of UAVs in the sky!

The LOw-Cost Unmanned aerial vehicle Swarming Technology (LOCUST) is a prototype tube-launched UAV. The LOCUST program will make possible the launch of multiple swarming UAVs to autonomously overwhelm and adversary.

Space beamed energy bootstrapping video

http://ift.tt/hZ0OVi

This video animation was created for SunSat Design Competition, held by National Space Society. Concept: Keith Henson

1000 X 15 ton skylon payloads

An existing 50 MW arcjet engine firing into the air

Build the first 5 gigawatt space based solar power (32500 tons) at 2000 kilometers above the space junk. Afterwards use the first SPS to help boost the other launch stacks to construction at 12,000 kilometers in the low radiation area.

The SPS would be stationed at 18,000 kilometers. Making SPS propulsive allows for half the distance of GEO. This would reduce the size of rectannas.

To replace oil in a decade would require 400 5 gigawatt

Bigelow Expandable space station module has been expanded at the Space Station

http://ift.tt/hZ0OVi

Pressurization of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) began at 4:34 p.m. EDT, and the eight tanks filled with air completed full

pressurization of the module 10 minutes later at 4:44 p.m. BEAM’s pressure will be equalized with that of the International Space Station, where it will remain attached for a two-year test period.

The module measured just over 7 feet long and just under 7.75 feet in diameter in its packed configuration. BEAM now measures more than 13 feet long and about 10.5 feet in diameter to create 565 cubic feet of habitable volume. It weighs approximately 3,000 pounds.

During the next week, leak checks will be performed on BEAM to ensure its structural integrity. Hatch opening and NASA astronaut Jeff Williams’ first entrance into BEAM will take place about a week after leak checks are complete.

BEAM is an example of NASA’s increased commitment to partnering with industry to enable the growth of the commercial use of space. The project is co-sponsored by NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems Division and Bigelow Aerospace.

Expandable habitats are designed to take up less room on a spacecraft but provide greater volume for living and working in space once expanded. This first test of an expandable module will allow investigators to gauge how well the habitat performs and specifically, how well it protects against solar radiation, space debris and the temperature extremes of space.

NASA is investigating concepts for habitats that can keep astronauts healthy and productive during missions

that take them farther from Earth than humans have ever gone before. Through public private partnerships with U.S. industry, NASA is evaluating different habitation concepts that can sustain astronauts who are living and working in the harsh environment of deep space. Expandable habitats are one such concept under consideration.

Expandable modules could be used for Mars Missions

Before sending the first astronauts to the Red Planet, NASA will deploy several rockets filled with cargo and supplies to await the crews’ arrival. Expandable modules, which require less volume on a rocket and could weigh less than traditional rigid structures, might increase the efficiency of cargo shipments, possibly reducing the number of launches needed and overall mission costs.

• In its packed launch configuration, the module will measure 7.09 feet long and just under 7.75 feet in diameter.

• In its deployed, expanded configuration, the BEAM will measure 13.16 feet long and 10.5 feet in diameter, providing 565 cubic feet of habitable volume.

• The BEAM’s mass is approximately 3,000 pounds (1,360 kg).

• The BEAM is composed of: two metal bulkheads, an aluminum structure, and multiple layers of soft fabric with spacing between layers, protecting an internal restraint layer and bladder system. It has no windows.

• The BEAM will travel to the space station in the unpressurized aft trunk of the Dragon capsule during the eighth SpaceX Commercial Resupply Mission.

• Robotics ground controllers will use the robotic Canadarm2 robotic arm to extract the BEAM from the Dragon capsule and attach it to the aft section of the Tranquility Node on the space station.

• The BEAM’s planned mission duration is two years.

• The BEAM is outfitted with various sensors and radiation monitors

B330 habitat under study In 2015, NASA has executed a contract with Bigelow Aerospace for the company to develop ambitious human

spaceflight missions that leverage its innovative B330 space habitat. The contract was executed under the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (“NextSTEP”) Broad Agency Announcement issued by NASA’s Advanced Exploration Systems program.

Via its NextSTEP contract, Bigelow Aerospace will demonstrate to NASA how B330 habitats can be used to support safe, affordable, and robust human spaceflight missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. As the name indicates, the B330 will provide 330 cubic meters of internal volume and each habitat can support a crew of up to six. Bigelow expandable habitats provide much greater volume than metallic structures, as well as enhanced protection against radiation and physical debris.

The B330 module will provide radiation protection equivalent to or better than existing International Space Station (ISS) modules. When fully expanded, the hull thickness will be approximately 0.46m (18in) and offer ballistic protection superior to that currently afforded to ISS. The hull will also feature at least four large UV protection coated windows that will offer unparalleled earth viewing from orbit.

The B330 would be 3 times more efficient in getting livable and productive space station volume than the ISS.

Dallas' Stonewall Democrats want city officials to 'terminate any formal ties' with First Baptist and Robert Jeffress

http://ift.tt/1cwEqpJ

First Baptist Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress’ recent statement that anti-LGBT laws are a bigger “threat to freedom of religion in America” than the Islamic State continues to create controversy in the city.

The Stonewall Democrats of Dallas and the Dallas Stonewall Young Democrats are the latest groups to ask the Dallas Police Department and city officials to “clarify” their relationship with the church and its outspoken leader.

“These remarks have and should be called hate speech,” said the statement issued by Jay Narey, the Stonewall Democrats’ president, and Dallas Stonewall Young Democrats president Cannon Brown. “Jeffress’s comparing equality-minded businesses to ISIS encourages people on the fringes of society to engage in violence against marginalized communities such as the LGBT community.”

They’re also calling for the DPD to “terminate any formal ties it may have with the church.”

Earlier this week, the Resource Center and Take Back Oak Lawn also called for DPD to back out of its recently announced partnership with the church following Jeffress’ remarks made during an online broadcast hosted by Family Research Council.

The DPD’s relationship with First Baptist was announced last month at a press conference featuring Jeffress, former Mayor Tom Leppert and Dallas Police Chief David Brown. Jeffress said at the time that it was more than a photo-op, but “the beginning of an ongoing relationship with the Dallas Police Department” that includes, among other things, counseling for officers and their families and scholarships that will send their kids to church camps.

At a “Back the Blue” service the following Sunday, Jeffress and Leppert, a member of First Baptist, honored Brown for his “sense of professionalism and commitment,” said the former mayor.

Dallas’ current mayor, Mike Rawlings, was also on hand to offer a prayer from the pulpit: “Your son said, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’ and today we’re here to thank you for the men and women in the police department for keeping the peace.” … [visit site to read more]

Planetary Resources Raises $21.1 Million In Funding and Unveils Advanced Earth Observation System

http://ift.tt/hZ0OVi

Planetary Resources, Inc., the asteroid mining company, announced today that it has secured US$21.1 million in Series A funding.

The capital will be used to deploy and operate Ceres, an advanced Earth observation business that features the first commercial infrared and hyperspectral sensor platform to better understand and manage humanity’s natural resources. The funding was led by Bryan Johnson and the OS FUND; and joined by Idea Bulb Ventures; Tencent; Vast Ventures; Grishin Robotics; Conversion Capital; The Seraph Group; Space Angels Network, a syndication of investors from Angel.co; and Larry Page. Earth observation will be another aspect of Planetary Resources’ operations in addition to prospecting and mining asteroids.

Conceived from the company’s vision for the exploration and utilization of asteroid resources, Ceres will leverage Planetary Resources’ Arkyd spacecraft to deliver affordable, on-demand Earth intelligence of our natural resources on any spot on the planet. While typical satellite imagery provides only a picture, Ceres will provide actionable data with higher spectral resolutions – going beyond what the human eye can see – by measuring thermographic properties and detecting the composition of materials on Earth’s surface. The midwave-infrared sensor is the first ever commercial capability from space to offer thermographic mapping and night-imaging, and the hyperspectral sensor includes an unprecedented 40 color bands in the visible to near-infrared spectrum.

The imaging technology is integrated onto the Arkyd spacecraft and deployed as a constellation of 10 satellites in low-Earth orbit. The constellation will provide global monitoring capability to benefit multiple industries including agriculture, oil & gas, water quality, financial intelligence and forestry. Ceres can analyze the spectral signatures of crops and provide customized information to growers, identify energy and mineral resources, and monitor pipelines and remote infrastructure. The system can also track toxic algae blooms, monitor global water quality and enable the detection of wildfires in their earliest stages.

Ceres Constellation

The most capable, low-cost small satellites ever deployed into Earth orbit.

More Capabilities, Less Cost Using only 10 micro-satellites, the Ceres constellation provides weekly data for any location on Earth at a lower cost than legacy multispectral data.

Planetary Resources is deploying a constellation of Arkyd 100 spacecraft in low-Earth orbit to deliver valuable information-rich data to markets today. With just 10 satellites, the Ceres constellation provides weekly hyperspectral and mid-wave infrared data for any spot on Earth at a lower cost than existing multispectral data. Furthermore, leveraging its revolutionary on-board processing power, the Ceres constellation can also be programmed on-board to search for and identify specific materials or temperature signatures – a capability that does not exist from satellites or drones today. Our system is also highly-intelligent and customizable. Ceres can send complete hyperspectral data cubes if required or can return specifically requested wavelengths, temperatures, or even simplified algorithmic “answers” about a target.

In bringing new capabilities to the market Ceres features:

  • Twice-daily revisit rates, daytime and nighttime
  • Weekly monitoring service level agreements
  • 10m Hyperspectral and 15m Midwave Infrared resolution
  • Global coverage
  • Sensor re-configurability on-orbit

Planetary Resources is currently testing Ceres’ sensor platform and will demonstrate the technology in space with an upcoming scheduled launch of the company’s Arkyd 6 spacecraft onboard a Space X Falcon 9 rocket. The mission will validate the thermographic sensor and supporting technologies for the Arkyd series of spacecraft.

“As we continue toward our vision of the expansion of humanity and our economy into the Solar System, our team has been working on the critical technologies required to detect and identify the most commercially viable near-Earth asteroids and their resources,” said Chris Lewicki, President and CEO, Planetary Resources, Inc. “To characterize these resources, it required more than just a picture, and our team has developed advanced spectral sensors to serve this need. We have also created new technologies for onboard computing, low-cost space platforms, and are now applying these transformative technologies in additional markets.”

Bryan Johnson, Founder of OS Fund and Board of Director member at Planetary Resources, Inc., said, “With Ceres, Planetary Resources has leapfrogged traditional imagers for monitoring Earth’s natural resources, creating far-ranging opportunity. It’s a seismic shift for the new space economy.”

James Crawford, Ph.D., Founder and CEO, Orbital Insight, Inc. said, “When Planetary Resources’ Ceres constellation is complete, it will transform the ability to monitor, model and manage global commodities and provide visibility across all major industrial supply chains.”

Liam Condon, CEO, Bayer CropScience said, “The highly innovative and cost-effective technology Planetary Resources is deploying has the potential to transform activities that were once confined to the laboratory into everyday use, as growers increasingly rely on data-driven tools and new technologies to inform their business decisions.”

Jim Hollis, CEO, Neos GeoSolutions said, “We are very excited about Planetary Resources’ new infrared and hyperspectral imagery system. This promises to be a powerful new component to our energy exploration system.”

Agriculture applications for Ceres Satellites Precision Agriculture

Reduce input costs, maximize yields and support sustainable practices with affordable, high-value crop intelligence designed specifically for increasingly digital global agriculture. Potential applications include:

  • Weekly decision support data throughout the growing season
  • Thermal crop scouting with automated problem detection
  • Relative soil moisture index
  • Crop and growth stage identification
  • Detailed crop-specific health indices and yield prediction inputs
  • Evapotranspiration reporting

  • Weekly field health assessments
  • Claim confirmation support anywhere on the planet, with minimal delay after incident
Oil and Gas Applications for Ceres Satellites Exploration

Reduce the cost of large area oil and gas exploration surveys with advanced infrared and hyperspectral

imagery offered at a fraction of the cost of airborne or ground surveys.

  • Infrared sensors offer advanced thermography capabilities day or night
  • Detailed surface temperature mapping and delta-temperature index
  • Thermal inertia measurements available anywhere on the planet
  • Hyperspectral system maps vegetative stress resulting from hydrocarbons
Pipeline Monitoring

Low-cost global monitoring of liquid pipelines reduces product losses, increases regulatory

compliance, and improves response times in the event of a leak, rupture, or encroachment.

  • Infrared sensors use day-night imaging pairs to map thermal inertia
  • Enables monitoring of above-ground and buried liquid pipelines
  • Change detection algorithms are applied to identify anomalies indicative of leaks
  • Hyperspectral sensors further confirm the leak via vegetation stressed by hydrocarbon activity
  • Thermal monitoring for encroachment by third parties

Overwatch: Pharah’s Rocket Launcher Build

overwatch prop 3

Blizzard Entertainment’s anticipated Overwatch was finally released widely on May 24. The game features a hero named Pharah and she wields a powerful rocket launcher (I guess most rocket launchers are powerful). Fizzy Fairy Apothecary teamed up with Coregeek Cosplay & Creations (they constructed it) and Nimbus Cosplay (they painted it) to create a replica of the weapon last fall. With the recent release of the game, they reshared a look at the weapon.

Coregeek said the following about components:

Half of the central tube is a heavy cardboard tube. The rockets are resin casts but I made the master from foam. Everything else is foam in one form or another. I used EVA, XPS and Tooling foam.

The lights are 12v LED rope lights.

You can see the unfinished weapon and some in progress pictures below.

Nimbus Cosplay said: “If you’re painting an extremely shiny, reflective, chrome prop, I recommend a highly smooth surface, and VHT Plate finish spray paint. Super reflective, doesn’t cost a fortune per can, easily found on Amazon.”

Full scale Straddle bus is being built and will undergo testing in July and August

http://ift.tt/hZ0OVi

A Beijing-based company Transit Explore Bus is currently building a life-size model of the Straddle bus in Changzhou and they plan to test it in July or August.

Different versions will carry up to 1,200 passengers, with the larger versions being articulated to facilitate going around curves.

The bus will run along a fixed route, and its passenger compartment spans the width of two traffic lanes. Its undercarriage rides along the edges of the two lanes it straddles and the overall height is 4 to 4.5 m (13.1 to 14.8 ft). Vehicles lower than 2 m (6.6 ft) high will be able to pass underneath the bus, reducing the number of traffic jams caused by ordinary buses loading and unloading at bus stops.

Passengers on board the bus are expected to experience a ride comparable to riding in the upper level of a double decker bus. They will board and alight at stations at the side of the road with platforms at the bus floor height similar to stations of an elevated railway, or via stairs descending through the roof of the bus from a station similar to a pedestrian overpass. The bus will be electrically powered using overhead lines or other roof electrical contact systems designed for it, supplemented with photovoltaic panels, batteries or supercapacitors on board. It will travel at up to 60 km/h (37 mph)

The 3D Express Coach (straddling bus, straddle bus, or tunnel bus) was a proposed new bus designed by Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Company back in 2010

. It was recognized by Time magazine as the innovation of the year in 2010.

A proposed trial project was to cost about 500 million yuan (~US$74.5 million) to build the bus with a 40 km (25 mi) guideway. This is claimed to be at 10% of the cost of building an equivalent subway, and is estimated to reduce traffic congestion by 20–30%. The Chairman of the company has said that it would only take a year for one to be built. 115 mi (185 km) of track was set for construction in the Mentougou District of Beijing for late 2010. The cities of Shijiazhuang, in Hebei Province, and Wuhu, in Anhui Province, were applying for financing.

There was a video in 2013 with refinements to the engineering. The video is by China TBS limited (which is a large shipping company).

The bus will have alarms to warn cars traveling too close to it, and signals to warn other vehicles when it is about to turn. It would have inflatable evacuation slides similar to those of an aircraft. Optional features could include sensors to keep it from colliding with a person or object (such as an overheight vehicle in front), warning lights and safety curtains at the rear to keep drivers of overheight vehicles from going underneath, repeater traffic signals underneath to relay the indications of traffic signals up ahead, and animated light displays to simulate stationary objects to prevent disorientation of drivers underneath.

Youzhou Song, the bus’s designer, estimates that it could replace up to 40 conventional buses, potentially saving 860 tons of fuel and avoiding 2,640 tons of carbon emissions that those 40 buses would produce in a yea

pCell being trialed by Nokia and VenueNext at large traffic indoor venues like stadiums

http://ift.tt/hZ0OVi

Nokia is testing Artemis™ pCell™ wireless technology in 2016 with wireless operators, initially in large indoor venues and other high density areas.

pCell has the potential to enhance the capacity of conventional 4G TD-LTE networks in certain use cases, while remaining compatible with unmodified devices.

pCell uses data centers to calculate the shaping of wireless transmissions to target individual antennas of target users.

Early in 2015, pCell pioneer Artemis Networks is achieving 35X the spectral efficiency of conventional LTE networks.

LTE networks today achieve a spectral efficiency (SE) of 1.7 bps/Hz. Practical pCell systems today achieve average spectral efficiency of 59 bps/Hz, a 35X leapfrog with unmodified standard LTE devices, such as iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPad Air 2 and Android devices, as well as Wi-Fi devices. pCell’s spectral efficiency scales indefinitely, while remaining compatible with legacy devices.

VenueNext, the mobile services provider for Levi’s Stadium, and other venues throughout the world, is trialing pCell in high-density, high-traffic venues, to enable concurrent usage by 10s of thousands of fans of HD video-rich services and high-bandwidth upstreaming of images and HD video

pCell technology accomplishes this through an entirely new approach to wireless: rather than avoiding interference like cellular or Wi-Fi systems,

pCell embraces interference, utilizing interfering transmissions to synthesize a tiny personal cell, a “pCell”, around each individual user device, enabling every user to utilize the full capacity of the spectrum at once. Instead of many users sharing the limited capacity of one cell, resulting in steadily declining data rates as new subscribers join the network, with pCell technology, each user gets a personal cell

Biohack: DMSO for Transdermal Substance Delivery

http://ift.tt/1E8EcEY

Biohack: DMSO for Transdermal Substance Delivery

DMSO Forearm

DMSO stands for dimethyl sulfoxide. It was discovered in the mid-1800’s and has two fascinating properties for any biohackers toolbox. This substance is able push other chemicals through the skin directly into the bloodstream. DMSO is also high in sulfur so it can be effective in reducing inflammation.

Before I go any further describing my experiments with DMSO let’s just be clear on a few things. DMSO is NOT approved by the FDA for topical human use with the exception of a unusual bladder condition. It is approved for dogs and horses. DMSO can be dangerous because it will push potentially toxic chemicals right through the skin. It is critical to have a clean environment and hands when working with DMSO.

Here is how I applied DMSO to my skin to deliver other substances into the bloodstream.

  • Wet a paper towel with water.
  • Spread the DMSO jelly on the paper towel evenly
  • Add a drop of the substance you wish to pass into your bloodstream
  • Place the power towel against your skin

DMSO Spread

Tips

  • The water is critical for diluting the strength of the DMSO and entering the cells so use plenty of it on the paper towel.
  • Do not move the towel around on your skin as DMSO will cause an stinging sensation that can be quite uncomfortable.
  • You can buy DMSO on-line, at health food stores or for the super inexpensive version go to a animal feed store. Typically these are $8 per pound.

DMSO paper towel on foot

I tried passing the following substances through to my bloodstream.

  1. Vitamin D
  2. B-12
  3. CBD oil
  4. Ozonated Hemp Oil
  5. Chlorophyll
  6. Iodine

My favorites were #3 the CBD oil and #4 ozonated hemp oil. The CBD oil immediately created a numbing body high and removed a headache I was having. The ozonated hemp oil had a radical numbing quality which in less than three minutes I felt across my entire forearm. DMSO with no other additives leaves a noticeable calming effect even on tight overused muscles.

Some possible applications for DMSO usage are:

  • healing of wounds
  • burns
  • muscle
  • skeletal injuries
  • headaches
  • arthritis
  • bursitis
  • cancer
  • alzheimers

Dallas wants a deck park over I-35E near the zoo, but will giant price tag sink council's support?

Not cheap.

A southern Dallas deck park would not be cheap.

A Dallas City Council committee voted Monday to support building a 5.5-acre deck above Interstate 35E near the Dallas Zoo. But that support wasn’t exactly overwhelming.

“My constituents have been disrespected as we just move forward for a location,” said Carolyn King Arnold, who represents the area where the city’s second deck park is proposed.

Arnold’s not convinced that planting a multimillion-dollar deck park close to downtown as part of the $625 million Southern Gateway project is good for the residents or the businesses along the corridor, some of whom are concerned about being displaced in favor of 5 acres of green space.

“The community is confused,” Arnold said Monday. That’s because “they hear there is funding,” and there isn’t, she said.

The Southern Gateway project stretches from East Colorado Boulevard, just south of the Trinity River, to the U.S. Highway 67 split. It will add and widen lanes, lengthen exit and entrance ramps and add shoulders where there aren’t any. And for months the overhaul has included the prospect of a new deck park.

Right now, there are four options on the table: the 5.5-acre deck extending from South Marsalis Avenue to South Ewing Avenue; a 3.1-acre version from West 12th Street to South Beckley Avenue; a 2.2-acre version extending from Ewing to Upton Street; and a 1.7-acre possibility much farther south, near Overton Road. According to Tanya Brooks, the city’s chief transportation planner, the zoo location has the most going for it — but it would also necessitate moving the zoo entrance, and require a tunnel like Klyde Warren Park.

It’s “the more ambitious and most expensive” option, Brooks said. And it’s the one with “the largest possible impact.”

That’s why it’s the most expensive option of the four. … [visit site to read more]
