2007 TU24 to be Radar Imaged in Great Detail.
Jim Kingdon heeft ons zojuist aangekondigd :
Don't forget the dish array at Westerbork, see http://www.astron.nl/p/WSRT2.htm Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Bank_Telescope (about 100m, steerable). But Arecibo, at 305 m, is much larger than any of these (although it is only slightly steerable, so you have to wait for your target to pass over the dish). Ah, okay... I thought you were talking about a disk array, not about a single disc. Anyway, here a google earth web link of Westerbork telescope array http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.43...842,-79.839411 André |

I think asteroid location, tracking and spectroscopy should be an orbital affair as well, one would think it would work well enough in LEO. Maybe that should be the next big thing, it would only take one good impact to open peoples eyes and minds to the possibility of space. That Peruvian impact just wasn't big enough, it only traumatized the local villagers, which is not near enough of a crowd to do much good. |

Just in : http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsyst...-20080129.html There is also a dish in Holland being brought back in Dingeloo. about 80 ft, Stainless Steel Mesh. I am working on keeping Jamesburg (30 meter steerable) from the wrecking ball, and think we may have a buyer, who wants to use it for Xprize Communications. A bunch of volunteer hams brought jamesburg from dormancy, and are doing Kick Butt moonbounce with it. |

http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n...id/index2.html We were all waiting for this announcement. Arecibo is a science jewel. Of using X-ray or perhaps gamma ray derived imaging is simply superior to anything else, not that older technology shouldn't be upgraded as best possible, unless that cost is simply out of line with what these new and improved replacements can accomplish so much better imaging results, and without their having such massive infrastructure to support. .. - Brad Guth |
