Target Launch Date: April 1, 2026. Launch Window: If the April 1st date slips, there are several “launch opportunities” in early April (specifically April 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6) based on the alignment of the Earth and Moon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_II Mission Duration: Approximately 10 days, ending with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. For theContinue reading “Artemis II Radio Plan”

Quantum Antenna?
“Promising implications for everyday uses in consumer electronics.” Sam Jarman, Phys.org Rydberg-atom sensors become antennas to detect the radio signals, performing demodulation and down conversion automatically. Rydberg receivers could eliminate significant portions of the front-end devices and electronics concerned with signal isolation when compared to conventional receivers. In a Rydberg atom, a single electron isContinue reading “Quantum Antenna?”
Ionosphere Linked to Earthquakes
Could ionospheric disturbances influence earthquakes? Researchers at Kyoto University explored how disturbances in the ionosphere exert electrostatic forces within Earth’s crust. They found that such forces potentially contribute to the initiation of large earthquakes under specific conditions. The coincidence of strong solar flare activity with the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake supports the hypothesis that ionosphericContinue reading “Ionosphere Linked to Earthquakes”
