@MinnaPalmroth and her team @helsinkiuni developed the most accurate picture yet of how solar wind interacts with our planet e.g. impacts satellite performance and radio signals.

On the day of the first ever satellite launch from the UK, I thought I'd post this Strathclyde University mural highlighting the internationally important role that city's engineers play in the space industry.

There are fingerprints on my mirrors!!! 😠
These are our flight mirrors, for the SNIFS Sounding Rocket. We just got these back after coating them, so we took them in to measure them optically.
3 of our 4 mirrors has a fingerprint!!!
You can see a smudge in the middle of this mirror. You can also see the dot pattern on the screen gets denser to the bottom right. That's part of the fingerprint.

991 followers · 3766 posts · Server bsd.networkIf you have ever used #Tandem computers (K and S-series) when the processor boards had two processors running in lockstep you will be quite pleasantly surprised to read that there's a RISC-V core coming out doing just that:
"On this topic, our Dual-Core Lock-Step demo received all the attention it deserved both at our booth and in the lecture theatre. In 2023, we will make security reference designs available² as the next step in enabling safe and secure custom compute."¹
This is quite interesting in the #SafetyAndReliability space for those who care about these things (#HighReliability, #Automotive, #Avionics, #AerospaceEngineering, etc.).
[Note #1: For those who don't know about "lockstep" the idea is that you have two processors running with the same inputs and from the same buses where the output of operations is verified by a comparison engine to check that they agree on what is going on. If the two processors disagree then the processor board is faulted (simplified description, obviously). This is of great importance where you need to be sure that, say, a stray particle does not bit flip your processor in the midst of something important. It could be argued that, given how crap current software is, this is the least of our problems but you might want to think of it in terms of, say, nuclear power plants, airplanes in the air³, medical equipment, etc.]
[Note #2: I am skeptical about RISC-V, I believe I have already mentioned it, as I am terrified the extension-happy design will bring another Intel-like nightmare of "have you got the correct extension to run X?" along with the dangers of cross-extension interactions.]

³ yes, the Boeing 737 MAX MCAS is the perfect example of the software (and management) being the issue, not the particle bit flip :flan_sad:

Reachability Analysis (RA) is a stellar toolbox for safety analysis and safety verification in various contexts, but to name one is autonomous driving and navigation.

This is an important point for me as well. As much as I love #Julialang, I don't recommend it to my students as a first language. In #AerospaceEngineering it's still #Matlab and #Python first (market requirements). Those that do well in those, then can do their project with me in Julia.

I'm Artemis, an #AerospaceEngineering and #heliophysics #GradStudent at #CUBoulder in #Boulder CO. I'm helping to build a #Solar #SoundingRocket. I also love #backpacking #MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGfinance and #DnD. I do a lot of arts and crafts, currently doing a lot of #MiniPainting. I like #running during the summer, and hope to try for a #marathon.

@anarchiv
easy plan and straightforward,
can we do it this weekend?
(if only it were that easy...)
...joking aside, we (the collective sciencepunk and anarch/communist/social idealists) could absolutely colonize the moon, we just need materials, permits (for earthside infra), and about three quarters of a million human work-hours focused on one specific goal in one place to get started.
---
The first step is getting a crowdfunded Lofstrom loop online...
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_loop
...and then getting automated mining/manufacturing node(s) assembled (using aforemention launch loop) at the Lagrangian points between us and the moon...
...give or take a few million human work-hours...
...and then set up housing moonside using byproduct resources of the manufacturing modules.
Easy, right?
