SpaceBoard's new Board creation capabilities

If you are interested in showcasing your organisation on SpaceBoard you can now create a separate Board for it directly on the platform! You will be immediately assigned as its coordinator, allowing you to broadcast transmissions in the name of your organisation as well as edit all its information visible on SpaceBoard, including the logo and the header image.


In order to create an Organisation Board on SpaceBoard, go to the Community Board (by clicking on the top left icon of the platform) and click on Create inside the appropriate module shown on the right hand side (see image above). Afterwards you will be able to enter the name of the organisation and select a type. Confirming these information will create the Board for you.




You can always access your coordinated Boards by hovering with your mouse over your personal image in the top right corner and clicking on the appropriate Board name appearing below.

Space balloons at Venus, Mars and Titan

So far, only the Russians have used balloons for planetary exploration. However, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has recently looked into designs that could be used for exploring Venus, Mars and Titan. This article covers the advantages and disadvanteges of using balloons for planetary exploration and explains some of the concepts NASA has been working on.

America's Gateway to Space: LC-39A

The iconic launch pads, Pads 39A and 39B at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39, have been the starting point for many space flights including the first manned lunar landing. The original design for Launch Complex 39 called for three to five launch pads, designated 39A – 39E, that would have been spaced approximately 1.6 miles apart to protect them from damage if any mishaps occurred at an adjacent pad. Also part of Launch Complex 39 is the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB. Towering more than 500 feet, it can be seen easily from miles away. The Launch Control Center, or LCC, where all the launch controllers, support personnel, and equipment required to safely launch a vehicle from either of the launch pads is also a part of the large complex.

Return of the Constellations - A Case for the Internet

Connecting everyone is an important step in the right direction, of course, but internet connectivity is only a small part of the problem. To make any kind of substantial impact here, one would need technology that can actually work, a way of delivering this technology effectively and efficiently, and a means of reaching all of the end users. What will be important is how this can play out – there is enough space in the market for different solutions at different stages of the connectivity graph to coexist. In a sense, there is a need to make this about the internet of people, rather than the internet of things.
