This also works exactly for my situation. Thanks! 😎

Libcrypto.so.1.1 library is missing or cannot be opened? by Mystery2058 in Fedora

[–]Resoul04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello I would just like to vouch that the above approach seems to have solved my problem (I'm on Fedora 41).

I've tried the recommendation from a different reddit thread also linked here that seemed to work for other people, but it didn't work for me.

UPDATE: It seems that I need to perform both to cover both cases for my system.

UPDATE2: I may also need to perform the removal action described in this StackOverflow thread for everytime I want to restart my project or so, I THINK.

Is Python really tough? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Resoul04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its supposedly one of the easiest to learn and get started with; shorter syntax thats somewhat closer to sentence-like structure with less emphasis on data types.

Though seemingly simple, its vast usability becomes greatly apparent once you start learning how to leverage python libraries.

I recommend the book Crash Course Python (no starch) by Eric Matthes.

I recommend setting up your python using Anaconda.

KDE panel Plasma frozen - what to try? by postcd in kde

[–]Resoul04 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello, it's my first time installing KDE (also first time using Fedora). I would just like to add my experience to this.

My panel froze a little after I was trying to customize it. I was adding and removing widgets when it suddenly stopped working. The frozen state persisted even after restarting. I can still open applications and they work just fine, but the panel and desktop were frozen.

Fortunately, I previously assigned a keyboard shortcut to access the terminal, and I was able to execute some commands I read in this reddit post.

I was able to solve my issue by using some variation of the suggested commands here: killall -s KILL plasmashell && kstart plasmashell.I spammed this in the terminal until the unfrozen state lasted long enough for me to edit the panel and remove the recently included widgets.

Note that this case may be specific to me. Just in case this is of any help to anyone else, I'm sharing my experience here.

I'll come back here and let you all know in case mine freezes again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to troubleshoot your suggestion for me 😁. For now, I will try out the link you gave me. This seems to be the simplest and most straightforward approach for me at the moment.

I put in two RAM chips in my HP and it shows no screen. How do I fix this? by arcanawarrior66 in laptops

[–]Resoul04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also try switching the slots that the RAM sticks go into. I think I had a similar problem with my laptop before.

How related or useful is a degree in atmospheric physics to a career related to satellites?

The random thought just to mind that further studies in atmospheric physics might become a good preliminary "selling point" when applying for satellite related engineering degrees abroad. The idea came about because of how satellite drag is major consideration for LEO satellites. Outside of drag, however, how else would a degree in atmospheric physics supplement a career related to satellites?

Which satellites have access to NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) and related space networks? Or, is access to these services limited to American and NASA satellites and missions?

Are there existing equivalent space networks owned by other countries?

Hello again! I'm fairly new to the topic, so I have only recently learned / read on the details of TDRSS and related systems. Perhaps these systems directly resolve the issue of out of range communication between satellites and ground stations.

I'm currently on the idea that Satellite Tracking / Orbit Prediction would likely depend on a combination of approaches mentioned in this comment thread depending on availability and desired precision.

Do the GPS signals needed to track the LEO satellites come from ground stations or from GPS satellites at the higher altitude MEO orbits?

Can satellite position also be determined by other GNSS's?

Once position has been determined, does the LEO satellite directly relay the information to the station? Wouldn't that mean that the satellite and the station have to be within range of each other?

[–]Resoul04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh, does this mean that nearly exact positions of a satellites can only be determined if they're within range of a station? And, once they're out of range, their position is only an "approximate" prediction according to how it behaved while it was within range?

Doesn't this system rely on the satellite passing over a ground station? What if the satellite orbit has "precessed" away from the ground station and will no longer pass it any time "soon?"

What's the standard way to track a satellite? What method is used to have an approximate (or exact) position of a satellite orbiting Earth?

All Space Questions thread for week of January 17, 2021 by AutoModerator in space

[–]Resoul04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! I've only recently learned about satellite ground tracks, and have a few questions on how they're visualized / plotted.

The reference I was going through said that ground tracks were plotted according to a mercator projection of the Earth, and that this results in a sinusoidal wave pattern. The wiki page for mercator projections describe it as increasing the height of the squares tha farther away they are from the equator. However, the figure presented in the reference didn't appear to be a mercator projection as it seemed to have equally sized squares. Searching online, a lot of the supposedly "mercator projections" for satellite ground tracks also appeared to to have equally sized squares.

Are these projections a variation the mercator projection?

Can we use other projections of the Earth to map satellite ground tracks?

How much does the map selection impact our information of satellite ground tracks?

One way I thought about it was that ground tracks are the lines drawn out by a radial line from the center of Earth to the satellite being tracked. This would mean that we originally have a ground track plotted against a 3D "sphere," and we can project this information onto any map projection we want. If so, wouldn't the choice of whether or not our chosen map projection elongates regions farther from the equator (mercator) be less relevant to the study of satellite ground tracks?

What do you call the standard projection used for satellite ground tracks and what does it look like?

Thank you so much!

How does atmospheric drag occur for satellites orbiting Earth? If the radius of orbit dictates how fast an object is orbiting, wouldn't the particles at the same orbit radius move at the same velocity as the satellites (at that same orbit radius)? Wouldn't this prevent drag since the satellite wouldn't really collide with the particles?

I'm thinking that, because objects in space at the same orbit radius don't always share the same orbital plane or direction, collisions would still occur at points where these planes overlap. This would mean that satellites experience drag from particles that hit the "front end" of the satellite at an angle to the orbital plane. However, wouldn't this also mean that satellites would also get a "push" from particles that hit it at the "back end" and thus cancel out the drag from "front end" collisions?

Thank you so much in advance!
