Getting our cameras ready for Artemis III🚀 A July test fire of a hydrogen burn-off ignitor at NASA Stennis is providing data for the agency to dial in the perfect camera settings for the NASA Artemis III launch in 2027. Artemis III is intended to demonstrate integrated operations between the Orion spacecraft and test versions of commercial human landing systems before Artemis IV returns astronauts to the lunar surface. About 10 seconds before NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket lifts off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, hydrogen burn-off ignitors will safely burn off excess hydrogen gas. Here’s the challenge: This flare, which looks like a firework sparkler during launch, is incredibly bright. Just like you might squint if looking toward the Sun, our high-speed launch cameras, recording at 400 frames per second, can react to intense light by closing its aperture too much. Clear imagery is essential for post-launch analysis, real-time situational awareness during liftoff, and to verify hardware status in the event of a premature engine shutdown. This test provides data so that cameras capture every detail without being overwhelmed by the flare. Learn more about NASA’s Artemis program:

🇷🇺 After crushing the Kiev forces “counteroffensive” on the Sumy front, the Russian army is advancing along a broad front ▪️ The operational situation on the Sumy axis for the Kiev forces continues to deteriorate. ▪️ Russian troops recently broke into Andreevka from the north and advanced toward the center. ▪️ Units of the “North” force grouping had earlier fully regained control of the Konstantinovka area and began fighting for Kondratovka, taking it in a pincer. ▪️ Area of advance over the past few days is about 3 km², and over the past week more than 20 km². ▪️ During the latest offensive operation, the area brought under control north of the city of Sumy has noticeably increased to over 230 km², with another roughly 50 km² of the region considered a “gray zone.” ➖ “Over the past two weeks, Russian troops have managed to take about 21 km² of territory in various parts of the region, including areas near Kondratovka, Yunakovka, Grabovskoye, and Andreevka,” local sources admit.

Key statements by chief designer of Fire Point company Denys Shtilerman Denys Shtilierman on the Ukrainian FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles: ▪️ The FP-7 ballistic missile will soon be tested against targets in Russia. ▪️ A clone of the S-300 missile has been developed for existing launchers. After integration with radar systems - a complex process - it could form the basis of an anti-ballistic shield under the Freya project. ▪️ The missiles are cheaper than the original S-300 due to simplification and the use of new manufacturing technologies. ▪️ The missile can also be used as a cheaper analogue of ATACMS. This is how the FP-7 missile with a range of up to 300 km, depending on the warhead, was developed. ▪️ The FP-7 warhead is expected to be larger than that of ATACMS, while the missile itself will cost 2.5 times less. ▪️ The developers say they are ready to produce as many FP-7 missiles as ordered. Unlike Flamingo, which currently faces engine production issues, FP-7 has no manufacturing bottlenecks. ▪️ Combat use of the FP-7 is expected to begin before summer. ▪️ The longer-range FP-9 ballistic missile is also intended, among other things, for strikes on Moscow - according to the developers, attacks on provincial targets do not impress Russia’s top leadership. ▪️ Tests of the FP-9 are expected to begin in early summer. The engine is currently being finalized. The missile’s range is up to 800 km. ▪️ FP-9 will be difficult to intercept: the speed of the Iskander-M is about 800 m/s, while FP-9 is expected to reach 1200 m/s. ▪️ The goal is for 25% of the missiles to penetrate Moscow’s air defenses and hit their targets. Cruise missiles and drones cannot reach targets in Moscow because they are intercepted. ▪️ Our luck is that in Russia the cost of missile production is inflated several times over because of theft.

Been using Nous Research Hermes Agent for media editing and it completely replaced my workflow. You know the drill : - Trim a video - open CapCut. - Convert to mp3 - another site. - Remove audio - another one. - Make a gif - yet another one. - more tasks, more different tools minutes of uploading and downloading.. Now you can do all of that just by chatting like asking a designer friend to edit your media and getting it back instantly :) I built a media toolset for Hermes that handles all of this natively. It registers as a skill inside the agent - Hermes sees your video, understands what you're asking, takes the right operations and use the best skills and give you what you really wanted perfectly ▪️ Trim any segment down to the second ▪️ Speed up or slow down with pitch corrected audio ▪️ Compress without destroying quality ▪️ Create a gif on defined times range ▪️ Cut the video and rotate it and apply instagram ▪️ Convert between any format - mp4, mp3, ogg, webm ▪️ Chain edits: "trim 0:30 1:00 and speed up 1.5x and compress" ▪️ Burn .srt subtitles directly into the video ▪️ Add or remove text watermarks with custom position ▪️ Generate thumbnails from any timestamp ▪️ Fade in/out with custom duration ▪️ ASCII video art with multiple character styles and many more with customizable skills Works the same on Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp etc. This is what agents should be doing and Hermes does.

Results of the strikes on Russia's military and economic potential: Blows to oil refining and revenues: ▪️ Over 30% of capacity lost: 16 major Russian oil refineries and terminals have already been struck. ▪️ More than 40 technological units have been shut down. Due to international sanctions, the enemy cannot restart them - import substitution is powerless here. ▪️ Production is falling: with nowhere to process the oil and exportation difficult, there’s no point in producing it. Oil production in Russia has fallen to an annual low (to 9.009 million barrels per day, according to OPEC). Fuel collapse in Russia and the occupied territories: ▪️ Gasoline production in Russia has dropped to a 16-year low. ▪️ Russia has banned the export of its own fuel, but this does not alleviate the shortage. ▪️ In occupied Crimea and the occupied part of Luhansk region, AI-95 gasoline is available only through coupons. ▪️ Gas stations in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Pskov regions have imposed a limit of up to 20 liters per vehicle. ▪️ Due to shortages of jet fuel, aircraft refueling has been restricted at Russia's largest airports. ▪️ The Russian government has officially authorized the production of lower-quality Euro-3 fuel because high-quality gasoline can no longer be produced using damaged equipment.

Last week, we pushed our Hadfield MK IV engine and Darkhorse engine test cell to their limits ahead of our upcoming thrust vector control (TVC) and orbital engine test campaigns.

Last week, we pushed our Hadfield MK IV engine and Darkhorse engine test cell to their limits ahead of our upcoming thrust vector control (TVC) and orbital engine test campaigns.

24.02.2022: the chronicle of a day that changed the fate of the entire world ▪️ It all started with Putin's speech, in which he announced the decision to start the so-called "SMO". ▪️ At 5:00 Russian troops attacked the state border of Ukraine from Russia and Belarus within the borders of Luhansk, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Zhytomyr regions. Besides, the attack was led from the direction of occupied Crimea. ▪️ Missile strikes hit dozens of cities. ▪️ At 6:11, President Zelenskyy called the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which imposed martial law. ▪️ At 6:46, Zelenskyy addressed Ukrainians: "Don't panic! We are strong, we are ready for everything. We will defeat everyone. Because we are Ukraine. Glory to Ukraine!". ▪️ As early as 7:53 there were reports that 5 airplanes and 1 helicopter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were shot down. ▪️ It also became known about the first casualties among our military and civilian population. ▪️ 10:40 two "unidentified targets" threatened Ukrainian border guards on Zmiinyi (Snake) Island in the Black Sea.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 What China's Long March 10B successful launch/recovery means within US plans to encircle, contain, & confront China... ▪️One of the US' remaining advantages is its ability to launch more payload to orbit each year than China and Russia combined - allowing it to not only build larger constellations of satellites like Starlink and its fully militarized version, Starshield faster, but in the event of orbital warfare (anti-satellite operations) the US could replace their own faster than China and Russia can even deploy them in the first place; ▪️When China ramps up its actual launch cadence with launch reusability, it will be able to at least match, if not surpass the US; ▪️This will benefit China and its allies like Russia tremendously with both larger and more capable constellations than the US, as well as the ability to eliminate US satellites and replace their own at a higher rate; ▪️That means there is now another rapidly closing window the US has to exploit before this transition takes place, and this advantage is neutralized; ▪️The only question now is how long will it take for China to catch up, and what will the US try to do in the interim to exploit its current advantage before it no longer exists? ▪️The likely window closes around 2030 - another reason the US keeps projecting "war" with China - because 2030 is the point of no return, not just for space, but AI and whatever other advantages the US still has; ▪️For people wondering why China isn't going to war with the US over Palestine or Iran or wherever else, it is likely because Beijing tracks China's rise as inevitable, UNLESS, it does something like step into a war the US wants to fight with China sooner rather than later...

Just 8 days after the final stack of Superheavy-B16. B17's common dome section has been moved to the front of MB1 for stacking operations. As expected, the pace of vehicle assembly will have to increase dramatically in order to keep up with SpaceX's goals for Starship Launch Cadence in 2025. We are rapidly approaching Flight 7, and Booster 17 is the Flight 10 Booster. Assuming SpaceX plans to carry out 20 to 25 launches in 2025, this booster will need to be fully stacked, cryo tested, integrated with its 33 raptor engines, static fire tested, and receive final launch outfitting 8 to 10 weeks from today. To date, the record holder for fastest assembly to launch time is B13 which took 41 weeks from initial stacking to launch. This means the assembly and test campaign for B17 needs to be at least 4 times faster than the previous best (assuming there are no re-flights's of boosters within the next 4 launches). If every booster from here on has one re-flight before B17's inaugural launch, then the assembly to launch process only needs to be around 2 times faster than the current best. I should note that B14 is expected to be the new record holder. If it launches on Jan 10 it will have been just under 40 weeks. Another important detail is that from what we can tell, this a Version 1 Booster. This means that we should expect a minimum of 4 more launches before Pad B is operational. One thing is for sure 2025 is going to be WILD!!! Shoutout to The Ringwatchers discord server for helping me gather the required data on such short notice. Make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

3 takeaways from the Bears mini camp: ▪️ The offense is operating much smoother The operation looks far ahead of where it was last year. Caleb Williams looks more comfortable and in command with the motions, shifts, checks, and communication at the line. It’s still June, but this offense looks cleaner and that should open up more of Ben Johnson’s playbook. ▪️ Special teams had a positive week The return game has juice. Kalif Raymond and Zavion Thomas both looked explosive and natural catching punts. Cairo Santos also went 5-for-5, including makes from 55, 58, and 60. That can steal you points and field position during the season. ▪️ No DJ Moore? No problem this week. Zavion Thomas looks like more than a gadget guy. Kalif Raymond still has burst. Luther Burden keeps flashing. And Colston Loveland looks like a real weapon they can move all over the formation. It’s June, but the skill group has real juice. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

Blades of Fire | Hands-On Gameplay Impressions ▪️Recap: New action-adventure IP from MercurySteam (Metroid Dread, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow) ▪️Coming to PS5, Xbox and PC on May 22 ▪️Around 60-70 hours long to complete ▪️You play as Aran de Lira, a forger and warrior who, after suffering a personal tragedy, "finds himself in possession of a magic hammer that lets him enter the forge of the gods to create the only weapons able to defeat Queen Nerea’s forces" ▪️The world is "squarely in fantasy territory", "rich, overabundant, lavish fantasy, as well as occasionally brutal and twisted" ▪️Magic courses through a land teeming with flowers and buzzing with wildlife, and creatures like trolls and elementals romp around ▪️Soldiers sort of look a bit like the Locust from Gears of War, chunky, loitering around. The whole game feels like it has a "chunkiness" to it, a bit like Blizzard games (hands and arms are oversized, buildings/walls are double thick).

Blades of Fire | Hands-On Gameplay Impressions ▪️Recap: New action-adventure IP from MercurySteam (Metroid Dread, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow) ▪️Coming to PS5, Xbox and PC on May 22 ▪️Around 60-70 hours long to complete ▪️You play as Aran de Lira, a forger and warrior who, after suffering a personal tragedy, "finds himself in possession of a magic hammer that lets him enter the forge of the gods to create the only weapons able to defeat Queen Nerea’s forces" ▪️The world is "squarely in fantasy territory", "rich, overabundant, lavish fantasy, as well as occasionally brutal and twisted" ▪️Magic courses through a land teeming with flowers and buzzing with wildlife, and creatures like trolls and elementals romp around ▪️Soldiers sort of look a bit like the Locust from Gears of War, chunky, loitering around. The whole game feels like it has a "chunkiness" to it, a bit like Blizzard games (hands and arms are oversized, buildings/walls are double thick). Combines to make a pleasing visual picture and give a sturdy, hefty feel ▪️"Wildly customizable weapons saves it from being just another action game", "combat is refreshingly different" ▪️Combat: Rooted in directional attacks that use every face button on a controller.
