October 31, 2024 Quick space links
Courtesy of BtB’s stringer Jay. This post is also an open thread. I welcome my readers to post any comments or additional links relating to any space issues, even if unrelated to the links below.
- Goldstone antenna touts its part in detecting Voyager-1’s signal, suddenly coming from a frequency not used in more than four decades
Truly something to tout, as this is amazing engineering detective work.
- Next launch of Mitsubishi’s H3 rocket for JAXA is now scheduled for November 2, 2024
The rocket will place a Japanese military communications satellite in geosynchronous orbit, the first time it has done so.
- The pseudo-commercial division of a Chinese space agency now aims to market itself to the international launch market
The pseudo-company is CAS Space, and its rocket is Kinetica-1 (which has launched four times so far). It also has its not-yet-flown Kinetica-2 rocket.
How it hopes to garner any business having any links to American aerospace technology I have no idea. There are many strict laws and State Department ITAR regulations prohibiting any American business from working in or with China.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
