UPDATE, July 28, 11:16 a.m. ET: Salvation! The Russian space agency Roscosmos has released a statement that they have reconnected with the troubled satellite containing the gecko experiment. The connection was restored on Saturday evening and a spokesperson for Roscomos told RT that the agency is sure they will be able to conduct "90 percent" of the experiments originally planned to be conducted on the vessel. Talk about space oddity. Russian scientists have lost contact with a biosatellite containing five geckos as part of a sex study on living organisms. The flight was intended to be a 60-day mission which launched last week on July 19 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reports. Communication with the spacecraft was lost the same day it launched.

Though the study of astronomy predates recorded history, and physical space exploration has been possible since the 1950s, humans still remain largely in the dark about what's really out there. For all that we've discovered, astronomers estimate that nearly 96% of the universe remains impossible to see or even comprehend.

This Tuesday, Eero—one of the first and most popular Wi-Fi-mesh providers—announced a new hardware and software program that targets ISPs rather than retail customers. Ars spoke about the new program at length with Nick Weaver, Eero founder and CEO, and Mark Sieglock, Eero's GM of Software Services. Further Reading New Amazon hardware: Ring drones, Echo Dot 4th Gen, Wi-Fi 6 Eero, and more The short version of Eero for Service Providers is simple: deploy new Eero 6 series hardware, let your customers self-install using a co-branded app with the ISP's own name on it, and provide the ISP with Eero Insight, a dashboard allowing them to view metrics from the entire fleet-level down to individual households. The telemetry exposed to the ISP includes outages, speed-test data, client network topology, RF diagnostics, and more. Weaver told us that the vanilla Eero Insight dashboard itself wasn't the whole story, though. The metrics, charts, and graphs the dashboard … [Read more...] about Eero for Service Providers: Eero Wi-Fi mesh targeted at ISPs

Twenty years in development, the new Osprey tilt-rotor flies faster and farther than any helicopter and goes places airplanes never could. How it Flies As the Osprey lifts off in helicopter mode, the onboard computers, commanded by the pilot, control it by changing the pitch of the rotor blades—the angle at which they bite into the air as they spin around the hub. To accelerate the MV-22 into airplane-like flight, the nacelles rotate forward, and the prop-rotors transition from generating lift and controlling the direction of the aircraft to simply creating forward thrust. At higher speeds the air flowing over the wings keeps the Osprey aloft. The helicopter controls slowly lock out, and the Osprey flies like a conventional airplane, controlled by the ailerons on the wings and the rudders and elevators on the tail. Engines If either of the two Allison AE 1107C turboshaft engines fail, a central driveshaft inside the wing diverts power from the working engine to spin the … [Read more...] about Full-tilt Flying Machine
