NASA's Swift reaches 20th anniversary in improved pointing mode
After two decades in space, NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory is performing better than ever thanks to a new operational strategy implemented earlier this year. The spacecraft has made great scientific strides in the years since scientists dreamed up a new way to explore gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the universe.
"The idea for Swift was born during a meeting in a hotel basement in Estes Park, Colorado, in the middle of a conference," said John Nousek, the Swift mission director at Pennsylvania State University in State College. "A bunch of astrophysicists got together to brainstorm a mission that could help us solve the problem of gamma-ray bursts, which were a very big mystery at the time."
Gamma-ray bursts occur all over the sky without warning, with about one a day detected on average. Astronomers generally divide these bursts into two categories. Long bursts produce an initial pulse of gamma rays for two seconds or more and occur when the cores of massive stars collapse to form black holes. Short bursts last less than two seconds and are caused by the mergers of dense objects like neutron stars.
But in 1997, at the time of that basement meeting, the science community disagreed over the origin models for these events. Astronomers needed a satellite that could move quickly to locate them and move to point additional instruments at their positions.
What developed was Swift, which launched Nov. 20, 2004, from Complex 17A at what is now Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Originally called the Swift Observatory for its ability to quickly point at cosmic events, the mission team renamed the spacecraft in 2018 after its first principal investigator Neil Gehrels.
Swift uses several methods for orienting and stabilizing itself in space to study gamma-ray bursts.
Sensors that detect the sun's location and the direction of Earth's magnetic field provide the spacecraft with a general sense of its location. Then, a device called a star tracker looks at stars and tells the spacecraft how to maneuver to keep the observatory precisely pointed at the same position during long observations.
Swift uses three spinning gyroscopes, or gyros, to carry out those moves along three axes. The gyros were designed to align at right angles to each other, but once in orbit the mission team discovered they were slightly misaligned. The flight operations team developed a strategy where one of the gyros worked to correct the misalignment while the other two pointed Swift to achieve its science goals.
The team wanted to be ready in case one of the gyros failed, however, so in 2009 they developed a plan to operate Swift using just two.
Any change to the way a telescope operates once in space carries risk, however. Since Swift was working well, the team sat on their plan for 15 years.
Then, in July 2023, one of Swift's gyros began working improperly. Because the telescope couldn't hold its pointing position accurately, observations got progressively blurrier until the gyro failed entirely in March 2024.
"Because we already had the shift to two gyros planned out, we were able to quickly and thoroughly test the procedure here on the ground before implementing it on the spacecraft," said Mark Hilliard, Swift's flight operations team lead at Omitron, Inc. and Penn State. "Actually, scientists have commented that the accuracy of Swift's pointing is now better than it was since launch, which is really encouraging."
For the last 20 years, Swift has contributed to groundbreaking results—not only for gamma-ray bursts but also for black holes, stars, comets, and other cosmic objects.
"After all this time, Swift remains a crucial part of NASA's fleet," said S. Bradley Cenko, Swift's principal investigator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "The satellite's abilities have helped pioneer a new era of astrophysics called multimessenger astronomy, which is giving us a more well-rounded view of how the universe works. We're looking forward to all Swift has left to teach us."
Swift is a key part of NASA's strategy to look for fleeting and unpredictable changes in the sky with a variety of telescopes that use different methods of studying the cosmos.

Hai,, Could you share some info about Juice? :3 Always curious what ur up to with your characters!
OH BOY COULD I
THIS IS JUICE!! (art & design by @/indig0trolls!!)
I. Forgot to make his hair grey in the artwork because it was literally a doodle i did in an hour so!! Doesnt matter!! Context: I tend to use the US Navy Ranking system for Alternian Fleet because it made the most sense to me. Navy -> Fleet Command is run by Seadwellers......just. made sense in my brain.
Mavrik Conrod is a Captain with his own ship, complete with all the bells whistles aircraft and crew that accompanies it. Juice is his Second Lieutenant, second in command, that does 99% of the clerical work. Mavrik's ship, the ASAR Salvation, specializes in a wide variety of search & rescue types- combat, wilderness, maritime, mountain, urban, space- with Mavrik being one of the Empire's best trackers. Mav does REALLY GOOD at his job- he is fucking fantastic at finding and rescuing people. He absolutely sucks ASS when it comes to ANYTHING related to paperwork other than actual communications with the Empire.
That's where Juice comes in! Juice is not his real name, but a callsign that stuck. As such, he signs literally everything off a Lt. Juice. He's good natured, has a bit of a dark humor but does genuinely care about the people he's around. He has a bit of a temper with a short fuse though! His psionics are hidden and weak, though he could power a ship if he bothered to practice them. Despite being a lowblood, he does feel he deserves his rank and spot. The alternative was being a battery after all.
Mavrik, while being good at his job, is godawful at taking care of himself. There is a bit of a one-sided pale between them that only Juice is really aware of, purely because Juice makes sure Mav keeps his head on straight. In a way, Juice is the one who aims Mav at the target, and Mav gets them there flawlessly. Juice doesn't mind a whole lot- sometimes it bothers him that Mav doesn't seem to share feelings, but the alternative is leaving Mav to his own devices, which may or may not end up very well.
Mavrik also refuses to put up a fight unless necessary. He's more of a pacifist and would rather let someone take a few swings at him to let it out. Juice, on the other hand, would gladly knock someone's lights out. He'd do it for a corn chip. Fuck, he'd go at someone for free. After all what the fuck are they going to do? He outranks most of the trolls who might try to fight him. And standing right behind him is a 7ft violet littered with scars. They don't need to know that Mav is a pacifist.

To save a mockingbird (4)
<<<Prev Next>>>
---
Word count: 1300
Warnings: none
I thought the sequels could do with more representation and that Rose shouldn't be the only one. I firmly believe that if General Hux allowed himself to enjoy a Jaleebi, the man would have left the First Order long ago, now that Jaleebi is canon in the Starwars universe based on Visions 2 😆
---
Chapter 4
The house was quaint, his ankle itched. The tracker was strapped to his skin that even when he took a bath, he would not be free of it. While she was given a device, to monitor his location and to make sure he was within bounds. He entered, his nose scrunched up. The ceiling was quite low but it was homely and maybe that’s why he didn’t like it. It was easy to tell that she had a cherished family with how artefacts lined the wall and the space looked lived in. A stark contrast to his quarters, he didn’t even own a pair of favourite slippers or a caf mug. Detached, much like the fleet itself, all this felt new to him. A frail woman sat in a seat as she remained busy with her crochet needles.
“This isn’t much.”, Marjorie chose her words as she turned to him. She felt overprotective of this space, of Aachi. This place was not up for strangers and yet, here he was. It felt like he was evening out the scores, because she had infiltrated his space, he had now chosen to do so.
“But it is my home.”, she told him and he marveled at her as she commanded the room.
As she spoke, the old woman had spotted him and to his surprise she smiled at him. Was everyone in her family mad? He waited and observed as she hobbled into the kitchen, to soon return with a plate full of colourful sweets. What was this custom?
He hated sweets, he preferred his caf without sugar, delicacies often reminded him of his mother or gave life to dormant memories that he would have much preferred to have forgotten now. He spent his early days relating to her like the kitchen maid, never once thinking twice about the love in her eyes. Only when he got to know who she was, he was sent away to the academy, never to return, never to see her again.
“It’s been so long since we’ve had visitors.”, she held the plate to him but his eyes shot to see Majorie and in the brief time he had known her, he saw sadness flicker over her features.
“She’s never brought a man home.”, the lady continued to say with a mischievous smile and Hux wasn’t sure if he should just say something cruel, to kill whatever this was that other people could pick up on his thoughts. Instead he took a step back, unbothered, not wishing to respond.
“He’s a little skinny but that’s an easy fix.”, she continued but he watched as Marjorie enveloped her grandmother in tender care and led her away into a room, explaining that he was only someone from work. Interesting, the spy had a weakness.
He inspected the device on his foot. He took in the space around him again. A week here and he was certain to go insane. The door creaked and she was back in his line of sight.
“I don’t like this, just as much as you don’t.”, Marjorie spoke clearly.
“I apologize on behalf of my grandmother, she’s just been …”, she grew silent and the words bubbled in his mouth.
It wasn’t an issue.
But he stayed quite again, he was never chivalrous or charming and he didn't know why he wanted to show her that he did have a couple manners left within him. He thought of questions but was in a war with himself. He didn’t need to know more, about the sweets or the old lady or the tapestry on the wall or why she was sad?
What was it to him? Collecting information would prove useful later, a thought eased him. He convinced himself that this was a mission and his mouth spit out the words his mind had strung together.
“Anyone else I need to know about?”, he said it without care or concern and watched as her faced twisted slightly.
“My father hasn’t been around since I was a child.”, she answered him still.
“My mother is …”, she met his gaze and there it was, that sadness, that moment causing his heart to twitch for the first time.
“She was on Hosnian Prime.”, she said softly and he looked away. He was certain it was the lack of a breakfast but a void in his heart tore open and all he wanted was to leave, his body craving the untouchable silence of his quarters on the fleet. Her soft gaze now made his skin crawl.
“Her room is the only one that’s vacant. But there’s nothing in it either way, so you do not need to worry.”, she spoke as though she had seen through him.
As he turned to enter the room, he heard her shuffle closer and as he turned, the tip of his nose was an inch away from hers when he spotted she had caught the edge of his shirt, mindful to not touch him in the process but enough to draw his attention.
“I know you plan to escape. I can’t stop you. But if you ever, bring down harm to this house or to my grandmother,”, she paused but he felt the air turn electric.
“Let’s just say that wouldn’t be favourable for you.”, she said calmly but her eyes were a storm, one he was entranced by. Her warning held a deadly note and it only made his blood sparkle.
She let go and turned away. That it was a question which only had one answer. He had to comply to win her over just long enough for the betrayal to hurt. He was an expert at this.
“The door stays open. You show up for meal times, you will help around the house and keep your head down.”, she barked her orders as she pulled out sheets of paper.
“Each week contains tasks for you to complete and at the end of each day, you bestow us with the secrets you know or help with decrypting messages.”, she instructed him.
“You’re working with the mechanics tomorrow.”, she wasn’t sure how good he was with vehicles or anything outside of sitting in powerful places.
His hands looked soft and free of callouses that she could deduce he wasn’t one to have any experience with manual labour. He didn’t respond to her, while he stood there, while his green eyes read her gestures and expression. Arrogance, she never liked it. So instead of letting her mind dwell on his features and mannerisms, she moved on.
“Found these in the 'Lost and Found' department.”, she picked up a box that was next to her and held it out to him. It was full of clothes and objects that would prove useful to him in his stay here.
He took it but never said thank you and she wondered if he even knew the basics of human communication and etiquette.
She lead him into the room but her mind had forgotten him, although there was nothing here, she still felt the coldness and the vacancy. The bed was in the corner, the walls were bare making it devoid of any life. Turning around to see him take in the surroundings, she was certain he was going to keep it in the same state.
“Lunch is an hour’s time. You could start off by helping in the kitchen for today.”, she couldn’t stay another second here or notice the inquisitive look on his face that was washing away all the kindness she had left in herself because now she wanted to yell at him to spit it out. Was he sorry? Or could he ever feel remorse?
She didn’t have anything left to tell him, so she left.
The room was cold and empty, just like she had said. It felt like home, he thought as he took it in, inhaling deeply to catch the faint smell of Marjorie's perfume which was the only attribute he didn’t mind or rather wanted to memorise. Because when something felt like home, that was when the monsters crept to take a hold of him. The box had shirts and pants, none of which he would ever be found in. But it seemed better that the brown jumpsuit so he dropped the box onto the mattress as he took a seat next to it by the corner.
His life had decided to remind him of his past and all his wrongdoing was finally catching up to him. He let his head fall into his hands finally. The kitchen of all places was his first test.
He sat alone and in the quiet, he’ll escape tomorrow, he was sure of it. He will steal an x-wing and before anyone caught on, he will be back as the General to rain hell on this base. The rage burned deep within, there was no redemption for him.

Asset Tracking System: Revolutionizing How Businesses Manage Their Resources
In an era where every asset, whether physical or digital, represents a critical part of business operations, managing these resources efficiently has never been more important. Enter the asset tracking system — a game-changing tool that provides businesses with real-time visibility, streamlined workflows, and enhanced control over their valuable assets. From tracking tools and equipment to managing inventory and ensuring security, asset tracking systems have evolved to become indispensable in modern business management. This blog will explore what asset tracking systems are, how they work, and why they are essential for businesses today.
What is an Asset Tracking System?
At its core, an asset tracking system is a solution that helps businesses monitor, manage, and track their physical and sometimes digital assets throughout their lifecycle. These systems rely on technologies such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), GPS (Global Positioning System), barcodes, and IoT (Internet of Things) to provide real-time information on asset location, condition, and status.
Assets tracked through these systems can range from equipment, machinery, and vehicles to office supplies and even high-value items like electronics or furniture. By automating the tracking process, businesses gain detailed insights into asset usage, performance, and maintenance needs, leading to more efficient operations and reduced losses.
The Technology Behind Asset Tracking
The effectiveness of an asset tracking system lies in the technology it uses. Here’s a breakdown of the key technologies involved:
1. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
RFID is one of the most popular methods of asset tracking, especially in warehouses and inventory management. RFID tags are small devices that store information about the asset, which can be read remotely by RFID readers. These tags don’t require line-of-sight scanning, making them highly efficient for tracking large numbers of items across vast areas. RFID technology is widely used to monitor inventory levels and track tools, medical equipment, and even vehicles.
2. GPS (Global Positioning System)
For businesses that deal with mobile assets—such as vehicles, containers, or machinery—GPS tracking is essential. GPS systems provide real-time location data, allowing businesses to monitor the movement of assets in the field. GPS is particularly useful in logistics, transportation, and fleet management, where knowing the exact location of assets can optimize routes, reduce delays, and ensure timely deliveries.
3. Barcodes and QR Codes
Barcodes and QR codes are commonly used for less complex asset tracking needs. They are cost-effective, easy to implement, and can store relevant information that can be scanned by smartphones or barcode scanners. While they require a line of sight to scan, they are effective for monitoring stationary assets, such as office equipment, furniture, and inventory.
4. IoT Sensors
Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are revolutionizing asset tracking by providing real-time data not only on location but also on the condition of assets. IoT sensors can measure temperature, humidity, motion, and other factors, providing deeper insights into the asset’s environment and usage. These sensors are ideal for industries like food storage, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, where asset conditions can directly impact business outcomes.
How Asset Tracking Systems Work
Asset tracking systems operate by attaching tracking devices (RFID tags, GPS trackers, etc.) to physical assets. These devices collect data about the asset, which is then transmitted to a centralized system or cloud platform. Here's a step-by-step look at how an asset tracking system typically functions:
Asset Tagging Every asset is assigned a unique identifier, often through a tag or sensor, that contains information such as the asset’s serial number, status, and other relevant details.
Real-Time Tracking As the asset moves or is used, the tracking device communicates its location or condition to the system. This data can be sent to a cloud-based dashboard or software platform, providing businesses with up-to-date information.
Data Storage and Analysis All asset-related data is stored in a secure database, where it can be analyzed for trends, usage patterns, and potential issues. Businesses can generate reports on asset performance, lifecycle, and maintenance schedules.
Alerting and Reporting Asset tracking systems can send real-time alerts if an asset is moved outside of a designated area, if its condition changes (e.g., temperature or wear), or if it’s due for maintenance. These alerts help businesses stay proactive and take action immediately.
Key Benefits of Asset Tracking Systems
Implementing an asset tracking system offers a wide range of benefits for businesses, from increased productivity to enhanced security. Here’s how asset tracking can transform your operations:
1. Improved Operational Efficiency
Asset tracking reduces the time employees spend looking for tools, equipment, or inventory. By knowing exactly where assets are at any given time, businesses can streamline workflows, prevent delays, and ensure that the right resources are available when needed.
2. Cost Savings and Loss Prevention
By continuously tracking assets, businesses can reduce losses due to theft, misplacement, or underutilization. Real-time tracking allows for quick identification of missing or misplaced assets, ensuring that the company doesn’t incur unnecessary replacement costs.
3. Enhanced Maintenance and Longevity
One of the most valuable features of asset tracking is predictive maintenance. By monitoring asset usage and condition, businesses can identify when maintenance is required and schedule it before costly breakdowns occur. This proactive approach extends the life of assets and minimizes downtime, ultimately reducing repair costs.
4. Increased Accountability and Compliance
For industries that require stringent regulatory compliance (e.g., healthcare, manufacturing, or logistics), asset tracking systems simplify record-keeping and ensure that assets are properly monitored. This improves accountability, helps with audits, and ensures that businesses meet industry standards.
5. Data-Driven Decision-Making
Asset tracking systems generate valuable data that businesses can use for strategic decision-making. Whether it’s identifying underperforming assets, optimizing usage patterns, or planning for future acquisitions, having access to accurate data enables companies to make informed decisions that benefit the bottom line.
Use Cases for Asset Tracking Systems
Asset tracking systems have applications across a wide range of industries. Here are a few real-world examples of how businesses are using them:
1. Logistics and Transportation
For logistics companies, asset tracking systems provide real-time updates on the location of goods, vehicles, and shipping containers. GPS tracking helps optimize routes, reduce fuel consumption, and improve overall fleet management.
2. Healthcare
Hospitals and healthcare providers use asset tracking to monitor expensive medical equipment like wheelchairs, ventilators, and infusion pumps. RFID tags and IoT sensors ensure that these critical assets are in the right place at the right time, improving patient care and minimizing equipment downtime.
3. Manufacturing and Construction
Manufacturers and construction companies track their heavy machinery, tools, and equipment on job sites. By doing so, they prevent theft, ensure timely maintenance, and improve resource allocation, which leads to smoother operations and increased productivity.
4. Retail and Warehousing
Retailers and warehouse operators use asset tracking to monitor stock levels, track shipments, and prevent inventory loss. RFID and barcode technologies allow for faster, more accurate stocktakes, improving inventory management and customer satisfaction.
5. Education
Educational institutions use asset tracking for managing laptops, projectors, and classroom equipment. With asset tracking, schools can keep track of valuable resources, reduce theft, and ensure devices are available for student use when needed.
Getting Started with Asset Tracking
To successfully implement an asset tracking system, businesses need to follow these basic steps:
Assess Your Needs Identify what assets need tracking and determine the level of tracking required. Are you focusing on inventory, equipment, or mobile assets? This will help you choose the right tracking technology.
Choose the Right Technology Based on your needs, choose the appropriate tracking devices and systems. Consider factors like cost, scalability, and ease of integration with existing business tools.
Tag Your Assets Attach tracking tags or sensors to your assets, ensuring each one is clearly identified and easy to monitor.
Train Employees Ensure that your team is trained on how to use the system, input data, and respond to alerts.
Monitor and Optimize Use the data from your asset tracking system to make informed decisions about asset utilization, maintenance, and purchasing. Regularly review your system to ensure it continues to meet your business needs.
Conclusion: A Smart Investment for Business Growth
Asset tracking systems are more than just a tool for managing assets—they’re a strategic investment that enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and improves security. With technology driving greater visibility into asset usage, businesses can make data-driven decisions that contribute to long-term success.
By integrating an asset tracking system, companies can gain control over their resources, streamline operations, and stay competitive in an increasingly fast-paced market.

RFID Asset Tracking Guide - Types of Tags and Costs
Introduction
RFID asset tracking is a highly effective way to monitor and manage assets using small electronic devices called RFID tags. These tags store information and emit radio signals that can be read from a distance.
Moreover, RFID tracker tags are part of an RFID system that includes RFID readers, antennas, and asset management software. This system makes tracking assets across locations efficient, especially in retail, logistics, and fleet management industries.
Types of RFID Tags and Costs
Now, let’s explore the types of RFID tags, what an RFID tag looks like and the cost of RFID tags.
1. Passive RFID Tags
Passive RFID tags do not have an internal power source. They rely on the energy from an RFID reader to function. They are also typically thin, flat, and flexible and are commonly used for RFID in fleet management, retail inventory tracking, and warehouse operations.
The cost of passive RFID tags is usually low, ranging from $0.10 to $5 per tag, depending on the size, material, and quantity ordered.
2. Active RFID Tags
Active RFID tags are equipped with their battery. This allows them to transmit signals independently over longer distances. They also tend to be bulkier and box-like in appearance, often featuring a rigid casing to protect the internal battery and components.
Due to their complexity, active RFID tags are significantly more expensive, typically ranging from $20 to $50 per tag, depending on their features and capabilities.
3. Semi-Passive (Battery-Assisted Passive) RFID Tags
Semi-passive RFID tags comprise a small battery that powers them but are dependent on the RFID reader for data transmission. This type of RFID system provides a middle ground between RFID passive and active systems, offering longer read ranges than passive tags while being more affordable than fully active tags.
The cost of semi-passive RFID tags typically falls between $5 and $20 per tag.
Conclusion
When choosing the proper RFID devices for asset tracking, consider your specific needs. For instance, passive RFID tags are best suited for short-range tracking, whereas active RFID tags are suitable for significant assets like vehicles. Similarly, semi-passive RFID tags provide a balance between cost and performance, with extended range and moderate pricing.
Always consider factors like tag cost, read range, and the type of asset being tracked when choosing the best RFID tracker for your system.
