STORY: China launches tech-experiment satellite SHOOTING TIME: Nov. 23, 2023 DATELINE: Nov. 25, 2023 LENGTH: 00:00:35 LOCATION: XICHANG, China CATEGORY: SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the launch of the experiment satellite 2. various of simulations STORYLINE: China on Thursday sent a technology experiment satellite into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province. The experiment satellite for satellite internet technologies was launched at 6:00 p.m. (Beijing Time) by a Long March-2D carrier rocket, and entered its planned orbit successfully. The launch is the 498th mission of the Long March carrier rocket series. It is also the 84th mission of the Long March-2D carrier rocket. A two-stage liquid propellant launch vehicle, the Long March-2D is capable of lifting 1.3-tonne payloads to the sun-synchronous orbit 700 km above Earth. This carrier rocket has the capability of launching both single and multiple satellites into various orbits. The upper sta

Astronauts train underwater

Astronauts set to go on space missions for the proposed International Space Station (ISS) undergo weightlessness training at the Tsukuba Space Center, northeast of Tokyo, on Sept. 25. Soichi Noguchi (C), 33, who has just returned from training in Russia, participated in underwater simulations of extravehicular activity at the 10-meter-deep pool of the National Space Development Agency of Japan.

Wriggling abiotic worm manifests "intelligent life" rudiment

STORY: Wriggling abiotic worm manifests "intelligent life" rudiment DATELINE: June 3, 2022 LENGTH: 00:00:42 LOCATION: Beijing CATEGORY: SCIENCE SHOTLIST: various of MetaWorm STORYLINE: MetaWorm, a simulation model of a roundworm, was unveiled at the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) Conference 2022 on Tuesday. When stimulated by food signals, MetaWorm wriggles its body forward like a living worm. It mimics the 96 muscles and 302 neurons that compose the one-millimeter-long soft body of Caenorhabditis elegans, a type of roundworm. Developed by BAAI, MetaWorm can smell and move under the high-precision simulations of 106 neurons which are relevant to the dynamic mechanism.

The La Palma Volcano Continues To Erupt - Spain

The La Palma Volcano Continues To Erupt - Spain

★The cloud of ash and sulfur dioxide that expels the La Palma volcano, from the urban center of Tacande, in the municipality of El Paso, La Palma, on September 22, 2021, in La Palma, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Islands Canarias, (Spain). The first simulations carried out on the trajectory of the ash cloud and sulfur dioxide that the volcano expels indicate that it could reach the Iberian Peninsula as of this Thursday and one of the first areas that would be affected would be the south of the Community Valencian. Likewise, the gas emissions expelled by the Cumbre Vieja volcano will also reach other nearby Canary Islands such as El Hierro, La Gomera and Tenerife. According to data from the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan), the nine mouths of the La Palma volcano expel some 10,665 tons of sulfur dioxide daily that rises rapidly through the ash column and remains suspende

Head of Japan's Olympic organizing body says no spectators an option??

TOKYO, Jan. 28 Kyodo - The Tokyo Olympic organizing committee has been preparing for this year's Summer Games with various scenarios due to the uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, including holding events without spectators, its president said Thursday.We have been doing all kinds of simulations. Basically, I don't think (the games without fans) is something that would happen or something that I would like to do, but it won't be a simulation unless we think about it, Yoshiro Mori told reporters in Tokyo after holding a remote meeting with International Olympic Committee chief Thomas Bach.Despite the outlook for the pandemic still being unpredictable, Mori and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga have insisted that Japan will host a safe and secure Olympics in six months by implementing numerous anti-virus steps to protect the health of those involved.?
