The Observatory forum History filtration unlimited Solar System Universe Watching Sky Technologies Astro [science] filtration unlimited Interestingly Do not miss!
* 1967th the dying French astronomer Andre-Louis Danjons to introduce a full moon eclipse color and luminance scale. Stundentu dust counter designed 26.10.2010 filtration unlimited (1841/3) University of Colorado student has been built, tested and run vacuum gauge, which is located on the New Horizons spacecraft, currently en route to Pluto and has become the most traveled space dust counter.
This tool officially known as the Venice Bernie named Student dust counter or SDC. It is named in honor of the girl (now Mrs, which will mark just 98 years), the age of 11, invented the name Solar framework 9. planet - Pluto. New Horizons started in the 2006th year, and will soon have reached the orbit of Uranus. Pluto is planned to reach the 2015th year.
Requiring a vacuum gauge? And as strange as it may seem, very interested in astronomy specialists dust as they are raw material for the formation of the solar system. In particular, scientists binding is dust, which New Horizons filtration unlimited will face Kuiper band - the vast area beyond Neptune's orbit, which is thousands of icy objects which are believed, in the primordial material from which billions of years ago formed the solar system.
"New Horizons will surpass numerous records, but this is one of the nicest," says New Horizons Principal filtration unlimited Scientist Alan Stern of the Southwest Research Institute. "We are proud that collect information about the dust more than it has done in some other mission, and this is the first student-built and run a tool that has ever gone to a planetary exploration mission."
"The opportunity is given once in a lifetime - to be students of the collective, who carries out the activities," said physics student filtration unlimited Andrew Poppe, who SDC participates in the management and processing of data. "We have built a successful instrument that is not only broke the record, but the scientific filtration unlimited measurements that help to understand the role of dust Solar System."
SDC modules are made of thin plastic membrane attached to the aluminum body, which is located outside the spacecraft. filtration unlimited The receiver is connected to the outside of the "brain" in the concealed spacecraft. This processor filtration unlimited accounted for and treats the dust that collide with thin membrane, creating a unique electrical signal, enabling the particle mass.
"SDC was developed and tested using the same NASA standards filtration unlimited that are used in the manufacture of professional tools, as well as the supervision of professionals," said SDC chief scientist Mihaly Horan. "Students who participated filtration unlimited in the SDC project comes from different fields - science, journalism, engineering, filtration unlimited and business. Many who stepped in after a career with continued space exploration-related industries."
"SDC observations will help us to improve the knowledge of the solar system origin and evolution, as well as provide new information for scientists studying the planet forming dust disks around other stars," filtration unlimited said Horan.
