1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.080
Welcome to another Astronomy Daily with Steve and Hally. It's

2
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.639
the twenty first of October twenty twenty four.

3
00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.439
The podcast I Mean to Be Your Whole Steve, don't clue.

4
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:14.240
That's right.

5
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.920
Another episode underway and we enjoyed a massive hunter's moon

6
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.239
this week where I live just north of Sydney in Newcastle,

7
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:25.800
which is on the mid East coast of Australia.

8
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.000
The moon was large and gorgeous.

9
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:30.359
And you do love that moon, don't you.

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:30.719
Human.

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.439
Oh and welcome to the studio, Halle. Yes, the moon

12
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.640
is very pretty, definitely one of my favorite rocks.

13
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.799
I've been perusing the enormous collection of images posted from

14
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.600
all over the world.

15
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.880
Yes, people have been clicking away all over the place.

16
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.320
It's taken over from all the excitement we had from

17
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:46.359
the auroras recently.

18
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.079
Yes, is definitely the latest thing in the sky. And

19
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.600
there's more to see coming up in the sky, which

20
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.320
I'll be talking about later on. So, Halle, what is

21
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:55.439
on the menu today?

22
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.000
Well, SpaceX just launched some satellites for a web compatitive.

23
00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.039
Some people might find that unusual.

24
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.040
Well that does sound a bit odd, but I guess

25
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:05.799
business is.

26
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.680
Business and I've got a story about a moontrain and

27
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.120
robot rovers in development to explore the Moon.

28
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:11.840
Interesting.

29
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.599
I know you'll like that one yip brought up my

30
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.359
Ellie Helly and you know me all too well.

31
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.599
Robots, rovers and the Moon.

32
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.959
That's a milkshake made for Steve Alright.

33
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.719
Oh yeah, love me, rock me robots and now.

34
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.040
Some news bites from the Astronomy Daily newsletter.

35
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:29.439
Sounds good, boss, Let's have it.

36
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:41.159
SpaceX launched twenty spare one web satellite's October twentieth to

37
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.319
strengthen the resiliency of French operator you Telsat's rival low

38
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:48.319
Earth orbit broadband network u Tellsats that it had successfully

39
00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:51.519
contacted each satellite following liftoff on a Falcon nine rocket

40
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.359
at one thirteen am Eastern from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California.

41
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.239
You tell Sat spokesperson Katie Dowd said the company now

42
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.680
has six hundred and fifty four satellites in orbit for

43
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.560
the constellation, which already had enough in low Earth orbit

44
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.840
to provide global coverage but has been held up by

45
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:11.240
ground infrastructure delays. Dowd said the operator remains on track

46
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:14.919
to start global services in the spring. The satellites are

47
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.960
identical to the rest in one web's first generation constellation,

48
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.120
which Airbus, US Space and Defense mostly built at its

49
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:25.919
mass production facility in Merritt Island, Florida. Utelsat, which also

50
00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.280
operates a fleet of thirty six geostationary satellites, has yet

51
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.479
to say when it plans to introduce low Earth orbit

52
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.639
spacecraft with improof technology, after opting for a phased next

53
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.719
generation constellation deployment strategy. According to Dowd, the company expects

54
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:42.639
to start deorbiting first generation one web satellites in the

55
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.800
next couple of years, as its first batch of low

56
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.560
Earth orbit spacecraft near the end of their design lives.

57
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.439
Remote control robots could help humanity explore the Moon and Mars.

58
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.280
Early tests of remotely operating robotics with an eye to

59
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.960
employing them on the Moon have been promising. Developments seem

60
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.919
to be leading to technologies that enable future Moon rovers

61
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.280
being teleoperated from Earth. Teleoperated rovers could soon be working

62
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.039
on the Moon with human controllers on Earth manipulating the

63
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:17.439
rover's tools, virtually allowing for greater dexterity when taking samples, digging,

64
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.680
or assembling. Researchers from the Robotics Laboratory at the University

65
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.719
of Bristol in England have tested their new teleoperation system

66
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:28.199
at the European Space Agency's European Center for Space Applications

67
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.800
and Telecommunications at Harwell in Oxfordshire. By controlling a virtual

68
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.360
simulation of a rover, they were able to manipulate a

69
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.159
robotic arm to dig a sample of pretend lunar regolith,

70
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.719
which is called called simulant. The process negates the need

71
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.199
for camera feeds, which can lack because of the one

72
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.759
point three second time delay between Earth and the Moon.

73
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:50.520
The signals between the tele operators and robotic missions on

74
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.080
the Moon could in future be relayed by satellites belonging

75
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.599
to ESA's planned Moonlight project. This simulation could help us

76
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.719
operate lunar robots remotely from Earth avoid the problem of

77
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.560
signal delays, said Bristol's Joe Luca in a statement. The

78
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.159
virtual simulation also incorporates haptic interactions. In other words, it

79
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.840
gives the user a sense of touch, mimicking the tactile

80
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.480
properties of lunar regolith in the Moon's low gravity. This

81
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.199
gives teleoperators a greater sense of how much force they

82
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.360
have to use to dig into regolith or to lift

83
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.199
a sample in a scoop. So far, the haptic interactions

84
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.480
have only been included in the virtual versions of basic

85
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:30.519
tasks such as pressing regolth into the ground or dragging

86
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.439
a scoop through it, but not yet for more complex tasks.

87
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.360
Does a levitating robot train on the Moon sound far fetched?

88
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.759
NASA doesn't seem to think so, as the agency has

89
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:47.759
just greenlit further funding for a study looking into the concept.

90
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.759
And here's an acronym that you'll enjoy, mister Steve. The project,

91
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.240
called Flexible Levitation on a Track or Float, has been

92
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.439
moved to Phase two of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts Program,

93
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.680
which aims to develop science fiction like projects for future

94
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.959
space exploration. The float project could result in materials being

95
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.160
transported across the Moon's surface as soon as the twenty thirties.

96
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.360
According to the agency, we want to build the first

97
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.279
lunar railway system, which will provide reliable, autonomous, and efficient

98
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.439
payload transport on the Moon. Project leader Ethan Scaler, a

99
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.800
robotics engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, wrote in a

100
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.160
NASA blog post. He continued, a durable, long life robotic

101
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.000
transport system will be critical to the daily operations of

102
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.720
a sustainable lunar base in the twenty thirties. According to

103
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:37.519
NASA's initial design, FLOAT will consist of magnetic robots levitating

104
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.000
over a three layer film track to reduce abrasion from

105
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.319
dust on the lunar surface. Carts will be mounted on

106
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.600
these robots and will move at roughly one mile per

107
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.079
hour or one point sixty one kilometers per hour. They

108
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.199
could transport roughly one hundred tons or ninety metric tons

109
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.120
of material a day to and from NASA's future lunar base.

110
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.480
NASA plans to send astronauts back to the Moon as

111
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.920
early as twenty twenty six as part of the agency's

112
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:03.680
Artemis mission, and aims to eventually set up a permanent

113
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.279
lunar base to aid future space exploration. And that's just

114
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.519
a few quick stories from the Astronomy Daily newsletter for today.

115
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.079

new Facebook page, which is of course Astronomy Daily on Facebook.

128
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:14.040
See you there, Astronomy and Space, Space Science and Astronomy.

129
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.399
Space technology firm True Anomaly has selected Firefly or Aerospace

130
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.879
Alpha Rocket to launch its autonomous Jackal orbital vehicle for

131
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:32.240
a US Space Force Rapid Response demonstration mission. The companies

132
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.399
announced on October seven, Hang on, this is a Space

133
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:45.439
Force story, hallie, can you grab the theme for me? There?

134
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:45.759
It is.

135
00:07:50.600 --> 00:08:01.519
Space Invisible there.

136
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:01.879
That'll do.

137
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.040
That's a better Colorado based True anomally will support the

138
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.399
military's Victis Hayes mission, scheduled for twenty twenty five as

139
00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:19.360
part of the Tactically Responsive Space or tac RS program.

140
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:24.759
The partnership with Firefly includes provisions for two additional missions,

141
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.600
as both companies aim to strengthen their position in the

142
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:34.120
military's rapid response space operations sector. Victus Hayes will test

143
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:39.480
the Space Force's ability to counter orbital threats on short notice.

144
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:44.519
The mission involves a complex choreography between True Anomalies Jackal

145
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.279
spacecraft and a separate vehicle from Rocket Lab, which will

146
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:53.000
conduct proximity operations once in orbit. Doesn't that sound ominous?

147
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.639
Victus Hayes pushes the boundaries further by requiring a launch

148
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.360
within just twenty four hours of receipt an order, which

149
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.120
are with operations beginning shortly after the satellites reach orbit.

150
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.879
Firefly said in a statement. The mission builds on Firefly's

151
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.360
September twenty twenty three launch of a millennium space satellite

152
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:23.320
for Victors Knox TCHRS mission, marking the company's second collaboration

153
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.320
with Space Force. Evan Rodgers, True Anomally CEO, praised Firefly's

154
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:33.399
track record, noting their innovation and agility in the rapidly

155
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.360
evolving landscape of responsive space launch logistics and space vehicle deployment.

156
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.080
Mission preparations will see True Anomaly complete development and testing

157
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.399
of its Jackal vehicle at its Denver facility before shipping

158
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:53.639
to Firefly's processing facility at Vandenberg Space Force based California.

159
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.919
The payload will remain in hot standby status until the

160
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:02.200
Space Force initiates the twenty five our launch sequence. Once

161
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.399
the launch order is given, Firefly must complete payload integration,

162
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:11.519
rocket fueling, and launch operations within the compressed twenty four

163
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:26.360
hour timeframe. Podcast Yes Keensko watchers have enjoyed many stunning

164
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.360
astronomical events this year. Twenty twenty four has put on

165
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:34.080
quite a show, including a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse,

166
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.679
and coming up in mid October, the Iroonids media Showers

167
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:44.320
will peak, showcasing Medior's direct from Halley's Comet. This year's

168
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.120
skywatching peaks with the Aroonids media Shower, showcasing bright media

169
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.159
is against the Knight's brighter stars with connections to the

170
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:57.080
famed Halley's Comet itself. Twenty twenty four has been a

171
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:02.240
remarkable year for both amateur and professionals, featuring everything from

172
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.480
a total solar eclipse in April to a partial lunar

173
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.200
eclipse during September's Harvest Moon. As the end of October approaches,

174
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.879
there's more in stall, with Uronid's media showers expecting to

175
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.799
light up the pre dawn skies on October twenty and

176
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:23.360
twenty one, weather and moonlight permitting. Of course, the orionids

177
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.840
peaking in mid October are celebrated for their vivid and

178
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.600
fast moving meteors, making them one of the year's most

179
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:38.519
spectacular medior showers. However, visibility depends heavily on clear skies. Additionally,

180
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.759
the light from a waning gibbous moon transitioning from full

181
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:48.600
to last quarter may overshadow the fainter meteors, significantly diminishing

182
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:53.639
the number visible to observers. Irinid meteors appear every year

183
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.879
when the Earth travels through the area of space littered

184
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.799
with debris from Halley's Comet. Still, a few oroonids should

185
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.720
hopefully be viewable in both the northern and southern hemispheres

186
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.840
during the hours after midnight through before dawn on the

187
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:14.440
mornings of Sunday, October twenty and Monday October twenty one.

188
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.559
The uronids are also framed by some of the brightest

189
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.360
stars in the sky, which lend a spectacular backdrop for

190
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:25.919
these showy meteors. Now Here are some viewing tips for

191
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.879
the best meteor show experience. Find an area well away

192
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.879
from the city or street lights, said Bill Cook, who

193
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:39.960
leads NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the agency's Marshall Space

194
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:44.480
Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Cook suggests that you come

195
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.279
prepared with a blanket, lie flat on your back, and

196
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.840
look up, taking in as much as the sky as possible,

197
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.759
and in less than thirty minutes in the dark, your

198
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.120
eyes will adapt and you will begin to see meteors.

199
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.240
It sounds like a good advice to me. Aside from

200
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:07.080
potentially producing spectacular fireballs, the orionids reflect quite a legacy.

201
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:10.480
Their parent comet is one of the most famous of

202
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:14.240
them all, Halley's Comet. Now each time that Halley returns

203
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:17.919
to the Inner Solar System, its nucleus sheds ice and

204
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:23.399
rocky dust into space. These dust grains eventually become orionids

205
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.000
in October and the eater acroyds in May if they

206
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.440
collide with Earth's atmosphere. Comet Halley takes about seventy six

207
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.159
years to orbit the Sun once. The last time Comet

208
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.200
Halley was seen by casual observers was in nineteen eighty six,

209
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:42.360
and it will not enter the Inner Solar System again

210
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.919
until twenty sixty one. The comet is named for Edmund Halley,

211
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.159
who discovered in seventeen oh five that three previous comets

212
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.279
seem to return every seventy six years or so, and

213
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.399
suggested that these sightings were in fact all the same comet.

214
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.960
Comet returned as he predicted, and so it was named

215
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:08.639
in his honor, Halle's Comet. So while it takes another

216
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.000
thirty seven years for us to see Halley's comet, the

217
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:16.279
Orionids offer a glimpse of its past. Yes, the Orionids

218
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.759
start winding down what has been an eventful current calendar

219
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.799
year for skywatchers. There was the total solar eclipse across

220
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.759
most of North America on April eighth, the alignment of

221
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:32.519
the Sun, Moon and Earth creating a solar eclipse lasting

222
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.200
four minutes and twelve seconds. The Perseeds brought night sky

223
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:42.000
fireworks in August, and the partial lunar eclipse a full

224
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:47.159
supermoon the Harvest moon provided some spectacular images.

225
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:48.480
But wait, there's more.

226
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.919
As the advertisement says, other skywatching events to look forward

227
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.240
to in the last portion of the year include the

228
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.720
Gemnid and the Urcid medior showers in December, so look

229
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:07.320
forward to those. And that's all we have for another

230
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.320
episode of Astronomy Daily. Thank you so much for joining us.

231
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.120
Again, and don't forget my cousin Anna will be taking

232
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.440
you through the week with her regular presentations Tuesday to Saturday.

233
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:19.960
Oh Anna, she is a busy girl.

234
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.240
Isn't she. It's a family thing.

235
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:23.240
Well, I'm glad she's working so hard to bring all

236
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.679
the stories from our Astronomy Daily newsletter to the podcast.

237
00:15:27.080 --> 00:15:29.440
So check it out, why don't you, and you won't

238
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:29.960
miss a thing.

239
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:30.879
That's the plan.

240
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.159
Good plan, and.

241
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.879
