Swiss Sat Janitor to grab space junk for cleaning-up

posted Feb 16, 2012 3:21 PM by Solar Life


Swiss role in space: 

'Janitor satellite' from Switzerland 


to tidy up space near Earth 

  • Satellite will launch within three to five years
  • Will 'grab' orbiting debris and throw it back into atmosphere to burn up
  • $11 million project will target two Swiss satellites first

Space weather: Sun turns into stormy monster

Sun turns into stormy 'benevolent monster"

"It's beautiful," said forecaster Jess Whittington. - Sunspots

"It's still growing. The size is what blows me away."


After years of quiet, the sun is coming alive 

with solar storms in a big way.


The sun shot off a flare Thursday afternoon from a region that scientists are calling a "benevolent monster." Scientists at the federal Space Weather Prediction Center say that area is the most active part of the sun since 2005. It has dozens of sunspots, including one that is the size of 17 Earths. Sunspots are kinks or knots in the sun's magnetic field.

The region will be facing Earth for 

about two weeks as it rotates, he said.

Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that can occasionally disrupt communications and electrical systems.

     Comet Elenin
o   hydrogen cyanide (fly-by)
o   cosmic capacitor (unloads)

It is possible that some in the military are concerned over the hydrogen cyanide in the comet acting as a dialetric turning the comet into an "cosmic capacitor" to discharge when it aligns with the sun sending an enormous electro-magnetic shockwave at the Earth.

China's Space station Tiangong to start 2013

China Aiming High in Space 
as U.S. Shuttle Program Winds Down

This year, a rocket will carry a train car-sized module into orbit, the first building block for a Chinese space station. Around 2013, China plans to launch a lunar probe that will set a rover loose on the moon. It wants to put a man on the moon, sometime after 2020. The U.S. has no plans to return to the moon


China has 5Y plans
"One of the biggest advantages of their system is that they have five-year plans so they can develop well ahead," said Peter Bond, consultant editor for Jane's Space Systems and Industry. "

Warping of space and time around a gravitational body,
NASA's Gravity Probe B (GP-B) mission has confirmed two key predictions derived from Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which the spacecraft was designed to test. The experiment, launched in 2004, used four ultra-precise gyroscopes to measure the hypothesized geodetic effect, the warping of space and time around a gravitational body, and frame-dragging, the amount a spinning object pulls space and time with it as it rotates. GP-B determined both effects with unprecedented precision by pointing at a single star, IM Pegasi, while in a polar orbit around Earth.
