#Does Lockheed martin Really Have a Breakthrough Fusion Machine? Lockheed martin s announcement last week that it had developed secretly a promising design for a compact nuclear fusion reactor has met with excitement but also skepticism over the basic feasibility of its approach.
Nuclear fusion could produce far more energy far more cleanly than the fission reactions at the heart of today s nuclear power plants.
and no hard evidence that Lockheed has overcome them. The so-far-insurmountable challenge is to confine hydrogen plasma at conditions under
Tom Mcguire project lead of the Lockheed effort said in an interview that the company has come up with a compact design called a high beta fusion reactor based on principles of so-called magnetic mirror confinement.
Lockheed said the test reactor is only two meters long by one meter wide far smaller than existing research reactors.
He added that with research partners Lockheed could develop a competed prototype within five years and a commercial application within a decade.
Ian Hutchinson a professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT and one of the principal investigators at the MIT fusion research reactor says the type of confinement described by Lockheed had long been studied without much success. Hutchinson says he was only
able to comment on what Lockheed has released some pictures diagrams and commentary which can be found here.
Lockheed joins a number of other companies working on smaller and cheaper types of fusion reactors. These include Tri-Alpha a company based near Irvine California that is testing a linear-shaped reactor;

"Pyxis will track GPS signals traveling through Earth's atmosphere and convert them into dense, precise measurements of global temperature,
but on a global scale using a technique called GPS Radio Occultation (GPS-RO). Pyxis is the only GPS-RO sensor in such a small package that is powerful enough to routinely probe down into the lowest layers of the atmosphere where severe weather occurs.
In addition, Pyxis is able to track signals from all four major satellite navigation systems (GPS, Galileo, Beidou and GLONASS.
Planetiq's microsatellite constellation, with an initial set of 12 satellites launching in 2016 and 2017, will deliver over 8 million observations per day of temperature, pressure and water vapor,
or more than 10 times the amount of data available from GPS-RO sensors currently on orbit.
GPS-RO has shown the highest impact per observation on forecast accuracy among the satellite data sources ingested into computer weather models,
However, the amount of GPS-RO data available to date has been sparse. The Pyxis sensor development team is based in Boulder

#Airbus to build giant satellite network European aerospace giant, Airbus, is going to build the world's largest satellite constellation.
The company will produce 900 spacecraft for Oneweb, a British Channel Islands-registered concern that aims to broaden internet access to the underserved.
Airbus will be the"industrial partner"on the project. And the role represents an immense challenge
because Airbus has made its name on some of the world's highest specification and most expensive telecommunications platforms.
Airbus says it will make the first 10 spacecraft at its Toulouse manufacturing facility before shifting work to a dedicated plant in the United states. Many rockets will be required to get the constellation in orbit
Airbus would not give a formal interview at the airshow but issued a statement from its head of space systems. his partnership is a fantastic new chapter in our space story,

The new Airbus a350 XWB that is flying daily displays at the Paris Air Show can claim several engineering firsts.
And United Launch Alliance-a joint venture between Lockheed martin and Boeing-has the parts on the rockets it sends into space.
The 3d components on the A350 XWB are mostly widgets and brackets, formed by fusing layer upon layer of resins in machines that replicate computer-generated 3d models.
says Ian Risk, Airbus Group's head of innovations in the UK, where the aerospace giant makes aircraft wings."
Say, for example, an A380 superjumbo is flying into Singapore and needs a new part. In our digitally connected world, a machine could be programmed to start printing even before the aircraft lands.
He predicts that one of the most significant impacts could be on aircraft design, especially as 3d offers the promise to produce more complex shapes."

#Ford GPS aims headlamps around dark corners Now there are headlamps that will steer around the corner before you reach the corner,
Your car uses GPS map data to tell the headlamps when to swivel. If GPS isn available,
the front-facing camera in the rear view mirror watches for signs the road is curving.
GPS knows where the road curves If the car has built-in GPS, Ford says, the car will use the map data to see
when the car is about to go around a curve. It then swivels the headlamps to the right
If there no GPS the fallback is to use the lane departure/forward collision warning camera to track which way the road curves,
Why you want integrated GPS and navigation Without GPS and maps, these predictive headlamps won be as effective.
