Cassini Significant Events for 07/30/04 - 08/04/04
The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired from the Goldstone tracking station on Wednesday, August 4. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and is operating normally. Information on the present position and speed of the Cassini spacecraft may be found on the "Present Position" web page located at http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/operations/present- posi tion.cfm.
The S02 background sequence concluded with the execution of a Reaction Wheel Assembly bias activity. S03 began execution on Friday July 30. Initial activities included the loading of Instrument Expanded Block files, and uplink of Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) flight software (FSW) version 9.2.4. The CDA FSW checkout is scheduled for mid August.
Science activities this week mostly centered on Saturn observations. The Magnetospheric and Plasma Science (MAPS) instruments began a campaign to study the influence of the solar wind on Saturn's aurora, while Optical Remote Sensing (ORS) instruments observed Saturn's south pole and aurora. In addition, the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument observed Saturn's kilometric radio emissions. RPWS team members also gave a presentation to the flight team recapping science results that had been presented at last month's Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) meeting in Paris, France. Besides Saturn observations, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) observed the trailing side of Iapetus, which will only be seen on a few occasions during tour.
In the last week, 747 ISS images arrived and were distributed. So far since Approach Science began, 15896 ISS images and 4614 Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) cubes have been returned.
In preparation for the Huygens Probe mission early next year, the Spacecraft Operations Office (SCO) Integrated Test Lab has completed ten probe relay fault case tests. Eight tests passed completely. One of the failed cases was an incorrect fault injection and will be repeated at a later date. The second failed case is currently being reviewed.
A project briefing was held as part of the Science Operations Plan update process for S05. This process will complete on Friday, August 6 and a handoff package presented to the leads for the Science and Sequence Update Process.
Assessment meetings were held to review all of the requested changes to the S08 and S09 sequences as part of the Aftermarket process. It appears that all requested changes will fit within available resources. The Target Working Teams and Orbiter Science Teams will be reviewing the requests over the next two weeks and will provide their recommendations at the decision meeting for S08 scheduled for August 13 and for S09 on August 17.
Development of S04 continued this week. A Preliminary Sequence Integration and Validation (PSIV) Science Allocation Panel (SAP) Meeting, Simulation Coordination meeting, and Simulation Procedure Review meeting were held. The simulation meetings were to coordinate testing of a first time use of Inertial Vector Definition in a Radio Science boresight calibration activity.
The Navigation team reported that the post solar conjunction separation angle is currently about 20 degrees. Tracking data quality has improved significantly.
The Multi Mission Image Processing Laboratory (MIPL) is performing certification testing of the Solaris 9 upgrades authorized by the Project as a part of the MIPL D32 delivery.
A delivery coordination meeting was held for the Attitud

Just download the dynamic binary, or simply compile it yourself. No hacking needed. What you do need ofcourse, is accelerated OpenGL drivers, e.g. the nvidia binary drivers installed and working.

1. You find data.
2. You make a theory based on 1.
3. You apply your theory to other similar scenarios, and try to
predict outcomes of similar scenarios based on you theory. Go back to
1 or 2 if your theory doesn't hold.
That's the scientific way. So far this research seems to be finished

No. Indicating IS what this story is about. As the closing even says;

why the Pirahã could not distinguish accurately for higher numbers". And;
"The question remains highly controversial,"

One of the tests where to lay out a pile of nuts, and
the people in question were supposed to lay out an
equal number of nuts in front of them. With 1,2 and 3 nuts
they were perfectly able to do that.
With more than 3 nuts, they were not.
Get it right next time;
"all your base are belong to us".
See here for the origin of that phrase.

These folks did not "teleport" a single particle, they transferred the _properties_ of some particles to particles elsewere. Those properties were transported with the about the speed of light. So, I don't see
quite how you could apply this to humans in the sence of teleporting an entire human somewhere else.

Could someone explain the meaning here ? Ok, they found a
collision, so... ?

It also has quite a few nice demos.
