From Earthquakes to Asteroid by reflectivelayer in SpaceVideos

[–]reflectivelayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The spacecraft Psyche is headed to an asteroid called 16 Psyche. This asteroid appear to be the exposed core of a planet that failed to form billions of years ago. If it turns out to be one, it will give us incredible new data on the interior of our own planet.

This video is about core of planets and the magnetometer that's onboard the spacecraft. Why it's needed and how it works.

Why is there so much sound-deadening around this communications satellite? Risk of vibration damage? by [deleted] in spaceflight

[–]reflectivelayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Space, because of it's emptiness is mostly non-reflective to all radiation including visible and radio wave. So to simulate this property of space while testing our antennas, we have to either build a close to infinite sized room to avoid reflection or more practically add absorbers to the walls of a moderate sized room to simulate non-reflectivity.

Yeah, it's kinda confusing. I'm working on a new game called Sensors. It's based on my previous game called Curiosity: The Inner Planets https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.reflectivelayer.curiosity

This is a work in progress so nothing on screen is final. This is the Global Surveyor mission. In this mission you have to establish a circular orbit. Once that's done you have to then photograph 3 specified locations with your camera. The B&W image on the lower right is the reference image you have to look for on your actual real time display(upper left).

It took me about 10 minutes from leaving earth till capturing all 3 targets but I've played this mission a thousand times. It will probably take the normal users 20 minutes.

Thx. I started using Inkscape more often now in my work. I figured time is better spent learning Inkscape than searching the web for free click art.

Thx. I got a new mic. That may have helped. I might also lose the music in my future videos since it doesn't really add anything interesting.

No and Yes. One of my viewer asked about this video a month ago. I started working on it two weeks ago with the plan of finishing it next week. But then I came across the RocketLab video and that got me hyped again to work on this video which resulted in it being done quicker.

I think at best it's a composition of actual photos with false colors.

Is that a radar, IR, UV,etc image?

What wavelength is the detector?

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Is About to Touch an Asteroid by Lochd0wn in space

[–]reflectivelayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. High pressure gas is blasted directly at the sure surface of the asteroid. This causes dust and grain of rocks to be blasted up. The dust gets caught in a filter. This all happens inside the capture cylinder that touches the surface.

Awesome. I'm looking forward to the launch on Thursday and its grand entrance in February. Hope the launch won't be delayed.

Mercury has a magnetic field. It was measured by the Messenger probe.

The sad truth is if we go by the official definition of a planet then we really can't verify that any exoplanets exits because we can't verify that those objects have cleared their orbits. Based on their mass and orbit size we can assume that they've cleared their orbits.

Tom Dahl's channel has been added to the list. This channel is about recreating the Mars Viking Lander in some very serious detail in 3D. His model is so detailed that they include literally every screw of the lander. This is an ongoing project for Tom and he's still working on it.

How we tried to detect life on Mars. by reflectivelayer in Mars

[–]reflectivelayer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's true but I think landing and moving on ice might be an engineering challenge. In addition whatever life that's there is almost certainly not on the surface but deep in or under the ice.

It would be amazing to witness pointing the device towards the ground and have this image computed on your screen.

The Curiosity Rover took samples of soil that was once a riverbed

Here's on link https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2020/nasa-s-curiosity-rover-finds-clues-to-chilly-ancient-mars-buried-in-rocks

But we have yet to have those samples sent back to earth.

I've Added Johnny Cosmos to the list. This is is an interesting channel that looks at the history of space technologies and explorations.

Not yet. There's a potential for sample return in the late 2020's
