S. Korea to launch small satellite this week

 

Quote

SEOUL, Nov. 27 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is scheduled to launch its small satellite from an Air Force base in the United States later this week, Seoul's science ministry said Tuesday.

 

The Ministry of Science and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said the Falcon 9 is scheduled to lift off at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 3:32 a.m. (local time) on Thursday with the aim of putting the satellite, the Next Sat-1, into orbit.

 

The 107-kilogram satellite, developed by KAIST from 2012-2017, will travel at an altitude of 575 km above the ground for the next two years to measure space radiation and observe stars' infrared rays, it said.

 

The launch was earlier delayed as American rocket company SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, extended its inspection of its two-stage rocket, the Falcon 9.

 

It would mark the first time for SpaceX to reuse the same rocket three times. Up until now, practically all orbital rockets were disposable, meaning the rockets were thrown away after being launched into space.

 

Currently, South Korea operates four satellites for weather and Earth observation.

I'll just do the text and link dance....

It’s an incredibly rare, clear morning here at Vandenberg as we get ready for today’s historic #SpaceX launch. This will be the first time a booster flies a third mission, and the most sats in a single launch at 64. @NASASpaceflight @SpaceflightInc @SpaceX @elonmusk @planetlabs

And fueling is indeed underway. No issues or abort of the count has been called over the Launch Director's net, indicating that we are proceeding nominally toward launch. #SpaceX #Falcon9 #SSOA

New T-0 of 10:34 a.m. PST, 18:34 UTC. Launch webcast will go live about 15 minutes before liftoff → http://spacex.com/webcast

New T-0 of 10:34am Pacific, possibly due to a collision avoidance alert with an object already in space, but not confirmed. I’m told Spaceflight & USAF teams are being cautious with COLAs for this mission with 64 smallsats, and a short slip into the launch window was possible.

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
