00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 welcome to another astronomy daily with
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06 Steve and hi it's the 21st of October
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10 2024 daily the podcast with your host
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 Steve
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 dun that's right another episode
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17 underway and we enjoyed a massive
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 Hunters moon this week where I live just
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 north of Sydney in Newcastle which is on
00:00:21 --> 00:00:26 the mid East Coast of Australia the moon
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 was large and gorgeous and you do love
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 that Moon don't you human oh and welcome
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 to the studio hi yes the Moon is very
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 pretty definitely one of my favorite
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 rocks I've been perusing the enormous
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 collection of images posted from all
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 over the world yes people have been
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 clicking away all over the place it's
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44 taken over from all the excitement we
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46 had from the Aurora recently yes it's
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 definitely the latest thing in the sky
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 and there's more to see coming up in the
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 sky which I'll be talking about later on
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57 so hie what is on the menu today well
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 SpaceX just launched some satellites for
00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 a web competitor
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 some people might find that unusual well
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 that does sound a bit odd but I guess
00:01:05 --> 00:01:07 business is business an I've got a story
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 about a moon train and robot Rovers in
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 development to explore the moon
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 interesting I know you'll like that one
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16 yep right up my alley hie and you know
00:01:16 --> 00:01:20 me all too well robots Rovers and the
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 moon that's a milkshake made for Steve
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 allright oh yeah love me rocks and me
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26 robots and now some news bites from the
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 astronomy daily newsletter sounds good
00:01:28 --> 00:01:37 boss let's have it
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 SpaceX launched 20s spare one web
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 satellites October 20th to strengthen
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 the resiliency of French operator utel
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 sat's rival low earth orbit Broadband
00:01:45 --> 00:01:48 Network utat said it had successfully
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49 contacted each satellite following
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52 liftoff on a Falcon 9 rocket at 1:13
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54 a.m. eastern from Vandenberg spaceforce
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55 Base
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 California utat spokesperson Katie Dow
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00 said the company now has 600 54
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01 satellites in orbit for the
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03 constellation which already had enough
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 in low earth orbit to provide Global
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 coverage but has been held up by ground
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09 infrastructure delays Dow said the
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 operator remains on track to start
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 Global Services in the spring the
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 satellites are identical to the rest in
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18 one web's first generation constellation
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 which Airbus us space and defense mostly
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 built at its mass production facility in
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25 Meritt Island Florida utat which also
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28 operates a fleet of 36 geostationary
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30 satellites has yet to say when it plans
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32 to introduce low earth orbit spacecraft
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33 with improved technology after opting
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 for a phased Next Generation
00:02:35 --> 00:02:36 constellation deployment
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39 strategy according to Dow the company
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40 expects to start deorbiting first
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 generation one web satellites in the
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44 next couple of years as its first batch
00:02:44 --> 00:02:46 of low earth orbit spacecraft near the
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50 end of their design
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 lives remote control robots could help
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 Humanity explore the moon and Mars early
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 tests of remotely operating robotics
00:02:58 --> 00:03:00 with an eye to employing the on the moon
00:03:00 --> 00:03:01 have been
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 promising developments seem to be
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04 leading to technologies that enable
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06 future Moon Rovers being teleoperated
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09 from Earth teleoperated Rovers could
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11 soon be working on the moon with human
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12 controllers on Earth manipulating the
00:03:13 --> 00:03:14 Rover's tools virtually allowing for
00:03:14 --> 00:03:17 greater dexterity when taking samples
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19 digging or assembling researchers from
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21 the robotics laboratory at the
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22 University of Bristol in England have
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 tested their new teleoperation system at
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 the European space agency's European
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 Center for space applications and
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30 Telecommunications at Harwell in
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32 Oxfordshire by controlling a virtual
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34 simulation of a Rover they were able to
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36 manipulate a robotic arm to dig a sample
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38 of pretend lunar regolith which is
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40 called called simulant the process
00:03:40 --> 00:03:43 negates the need for camera feeds which
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 can lag because of the 1.3 second time
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47 delay between Earth and the moon the
00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 signals between the teleoperators and
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51 robotic missions on the moon could in
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52 future be relayed by satellites
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55 belonging to esa's planned Moonlight
00:03:55 --> 00:03:57 project this simulation could help us
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 operate lunar robots remotely from Earth
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01 avoiding the problem of signal delays
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04 said Bristol's Joe Luca in a statement
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06 the virtual simulation also incorporates
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 haptic
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10 interactions in other words it gives the
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 user a sense of touch mimicking the
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14 tactile properties of lunar regolith in
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17 the moon's low gravity this gives tele
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18 operators a greater sense of how much
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20 force they have to use to dig into
00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 regali or to lift a sample in a scoop so
00:04:23 --> 00:04:25 far the haptic interactions have only
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27 been included in the virtual versions of
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29 basic tasks such as pressing regolith
00:04:29 --> 00:04:30 into the ground ground or dragging a
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 scoop through it but not yet for more
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37 complex
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39 tasks does a levitating robot train on
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41 the moon sound far-fetched
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 NASA doesn't seem to think so as the
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45 agency has just green lit further
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47 funding for a study looking into the
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 concept and here's an acronym that
00:04:49 --> 00:04:52 you'll enjoy Mr Steve the project called
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54 flexible levitation on a track or float
00:04:54 --> 00:04:56 has been moved to phase two of NASA's
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58 Innovative advanced concepts program
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 which aims to develop science fiction
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 like projects for future space
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04 exploration the float project could
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06 result in materials being transported
00:05:06 --> 00:05:08 across the moon's surface as soon as the
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11 2030s according to the agency we want to
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 build the first lunar Railway system
00:05:13 --> 00:05:15 which will provide reliable autonomous
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17 and efficient payload transport on the
00:05:17 --> 00:05:19 Moon project leader Ethan scaler a
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21 robotics engineer at NASA's jet
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23 propulsion laboratory wrote in a NASA
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26 blog post he continued a durable long
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28 lifee robotic transport system will be
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 critical to the Daily operation of a
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 sustainable lunar base in the
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35 2030s according to NASA's initial design
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36 float will consist of magnetic robots
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38 levitating over a three-layer film track
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40 to reduce abrasion from dust on the
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43 lunar surface carts will be mounted on
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45 these robots and will move at roughly 1
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47 M hour or 1.61
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 kmph they could transport roughly 100
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 tons or 90 metric tons of material a day
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56 to and from NASA's future lunar base
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57 NASA plans to send astronauts back to
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00 the Moon as early as 2026 as part of the
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02 agency's Artemis Mission and aims to
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 eventually set up a permanent lunar base
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08 to Aid future space
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10 exploration and that's just a few quick

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05 yeah that'll
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08 do that's better Colorado based true
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 anomaly will support the military's
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13 victus Hayes Mission scheduled for
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15 2025 as part of the tactically
00:08:15 --> 00:08:20 responsive space or Tac RS program the
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22 partnership with firefly includes
00:08:22 --> 00:08:25 Provisions for two additional missions
00:08:25 --> 00:08:27 as both companies aim to strengthen
00:08:27 --> 00:08:29 their position in the military's rapid
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33 response space operations sector victus
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35 Hayes will test the space Force's
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38 ability to counter orbital threats on
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41 short notice the mission involves a
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43 complex choreography between true
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45 anomalies Jackal spacecraft and a
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48 separate vehicle from rocket lab which
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50 will conduct proximity operations once
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53 in orbit doesn't that sound ominous
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55 victus Hayes pushes the boundaries
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58 further by requiring a launch within
00:08:58 --> 00:09:01 just 24 hours of receiving an order
00:09:01 --> 00:09:03 which uh with operations beginning
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06 shortly after the satellite satellites
00:09:06 --> 00:09:09 reach orbit Firefly said in a statement

00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 year for both amateur and professional
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02 astronomers featuring everything from a
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04 total solar eclipse in April to a
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07 partial Luna Eclipse during September's
00:11:07 --> 00:11:10 Harvest Moon as the end of October
00:11:10 --> 00:11:13 approaches there's more in store with
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16 IDs meteor showers expecting to light up
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19 the pre-dawn skies on October 20 and 21
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 weather and Moonlight permitting of
00:11:21 --> 00:11:25 course the orionids peing in mid October
00:11:25 --> 00:11:28 are celebrated for their vivid and fast
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29 moving meteor
00:11:29 --> 00:11:31 making them one of the year's most
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34 spectacular meteor showers however
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36 visibility depends heavily on clear
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39 skies Additionally the light from a
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42 waning gibbus moon transitioning from
00:11:42 --> 00:11:44 Full to last quarter May overshadow the
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47 fainter meteors significantly
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50 diminishing the number visible to
00:11:50 --> 00:11:53 observers ared meteors appear every year
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55 when the earth travels through the area
00:11:55 --> 00:11:58 of space littered with debris from H's
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02 comet still a few orionids should
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03 hopefully be viewable in both the
00:12:03 --> 00:12:05 northern and southern hemispheres during
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08 the hours after midnight through Before
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 Dawn on the mornings of Sunday October
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15 20 and Monday October 21 the IDS are
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18 also framed by some of the brightest
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20 stars in the sky which lend a
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23 spectacular backdrop for these showy
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25 medors now here are some viewing tips
00:12:25 --> 00:12:28 for the best meteor show experience find
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30 an area well away from the city or
00:12:30 --> 00:12:33 street lights said Bill Cook who leads
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35 NASA's meteor
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38 meteoroid environment office at the
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40 agency's Marshall space flight center in
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43 Huntsville Alabama cook suggests that
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46 you come prepared with a blanket lie
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48 flat on your back and look up taking in
00:12:48 --> 00:12:51 as much as the sky as possible and in
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53 less than 30 minutes of the of in the
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56 dark your eyes will adapt and you will
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58 begin to see meteors that sounds like a
00:12:58 --> 00:13:01 good advice to me aside from potentially
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04 producing spectacular Fireballs the
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07 orionids reflect quite a legacy their
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10 parent comet is one of the most famous
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13 of them all Hal's Comet now each time
00:13:13 --> 00:13:15 that hi returns to the inner solar
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18 system its nucleus sheds ice and Rocky
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21 dust into space these dust grains
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24 eventually become orionids in October
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27 and the eer AIDS in May if they collide
00:13:27 --> 00:13:30 with Earth's atmosphere Comet hle takes
00:13:30 --> 00:13:34 about 76 years to orbit the sun once the
00:13:34 --> 00:13:36 last time Comet hle was seen by casual
00:13:36 --> 00:13:38 observers was in
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41 1986 and it will not enter the inner
00:13:41 --> 00:13:43 solar system again until
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47 2061 the comet is named for Edmund hiy
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50 who discovered in 1705 that three
00:13:50 --> 00:13:52 previous comets seemed to return every
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56 76 years or so and suggested that these
00:13:56 --> 00:13:59 sightings were in fact all the same
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02 Comet the comet returned as he predicted
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06 and so it was named in his honor hi's
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09 Comet so while it takes another 37 years
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12 for us to see H's Comet the orionids
00:14:12 --> 00:14:15 offer a glimpse of its past yes the
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17 orionids start winding down what has
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21 been an eventful car calendar year for
00:14:21 --> 00:14:23 skywatchers there was the total solar
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26 eclipse across most of North America on
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29 April 8 the alignment of the Sun Moon
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32 and Earth creating a solar eclipse
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35 lasting 4 minutes and 12 seconds the
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38 pids brought night sky fireworks in
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41 August and the partial Luna Eclipse a
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44 full Super Moon the Harvest Moon
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47 provided some spect spectacular images
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49 but wait there's more as the
00:14:49 --> 00:14:51 advertisement says other skywatching
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53 events to look forward to in the last
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57 portion of the Year include the Geminid
00:14:57 --> 00:15:00 and the ID meteor showers in December so
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04 look forward to
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07 those and that's all we have for another
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10 episode of astronomy daily thank you so
