... 32a. Early Solar Warning . ... Artist's rendering of solar sail. One such method is the use of a solar sail , relying on the pressure of sunlight. ... When the sail faces the Sun squarely, the pressure of sunlight counteracts the Sun's pull and only enables the satellite to circle the Sun in a slightly larger orbit. ... The starship is propelled by a huge solar sail, pushed by tight beams of light from lasers which are powered by sunlight and orbit the Sun. ... The solar sail home page . ...

Allocation of Tidbinbilla 70m time for ATNF proposals NASA allocate approximately 300 hours per year of Host Country time on the 70m antenna. This time is used for single-dish and LBA observations. ... This is far from ideal given 6 month terms for ATNF, which must be scheduled about two months in advance of the term starting, compared to JPL scheduling which goes out to only about 4 months in the future. ... The details of the Deep Space Network schedules are defined about four months in advance. ...

... Research . ... There is mounting evidence that AGN feedback is important in galaxy evolution. Radio-mode feedback is thought to be particularly significant because the mechanical action of the expanding lobes provides a strong coupling mechanism between AGN energy and the surrounding environment. In order to quantify this feedback, detailed models of radio lobe evolution are required. ... Cambridge, UK - Nov 2013 . PDF . Poster for Modern Radio Universe conference . ...
