Amazon's Rival to Starlink Takes Critical Step Toward Deployment

Amazon’s Kuiper low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network passed a significant milestone when its two orbiting satellites were able to communicate with each other at high data transfer speeds using Optical Inter-Satellite Link (OISL) technology, the company revealed last week. https://jpmellojr.blogspot.com/2023/12/amazons-rival-to-starlink-takes.html

I'm honestly shocked, really. I know essential oisl are VERY dangerous, but that story of that mother and her child? Horrible. Worst than any horror movies.

Yours truly here has very rare liver issues - as some of you may know - so I'm ALWAYS going to reblog this sort of stuff here. With medicine, being wary is a given, but everyone thinks just because something is natural, then it's safe.

It's not. Given my liver issues, I have to be extra careful with natural stuff, because they can, indeed, kill me.

Here in my country, using eucalyptus oil is pretty much common to clean some places of the house, and I grew up going to thermal baths that had the smell of eucalyptus. I wasn't much of a fan when I was a kid, always thought it was too strong, but nowadays I think it smells like childhood. NEVER in my life it hit me it might be because children can't tank eucalyptus - and to me it's a given when cleaning our home, even to this day.

So yeah. Please pay attention to this stuff. I know it's a long read and an important one, it might literally save someone's life.

Oh my god, food extract is not the same as an essential oil.

Food extract is the flavoring of something cooked down into a carrier oil or alcohol that is safe for human ingestion.

Essential oil is the pure extract of the plant refined down and distilled for concentrated medicinal purposes to a significantly higher strength than simply adding ground up mint leaves to your water. The two are not comparable in any way.

Cinnamon extract and cinnamon essential oil are not the same thing.

One is about 100 times the strength of the other and can also cause acute organ failure. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the food extract.

Sweet gods I’m not trying to be mean, I want you to be aware and safe and stop putting yourselves and others at risk. Please.

A Selective Rewrite of Episode 12

Hey all! I know I’ve been pretty quiet the last couple of weeks, at least as far as my own posts have been concerned. I sort of allowed my school work to get away from me and had some catching up to do (*cough* still not caught up *cough*). But considering we still have yet to get a satisfying explanation for the creative decisions made throughout volume 7 for Qrow and Clover (especially in episode 12) I thought I’d put this one out here today.

Full disclosure, this post was supposed to come at the end of my “What Went Wrong” series, but the ideas for it keep rattling around in my brain and I need to get this out. (Also, sincere apologies for being so late on Part II of that series. It is coming, I promise. Writing up something like that takes a lot of time and effort.)

The whole point of the “What Went Wrong” series was to tweak the writing in episodes 1-11 so that episode 12 felt less detached from the rest of the volume.

The point of this rewrite is the opposite, in that I want to showcase one way in which episode 12 could have been written while maintaining the integrity of the writing in the rest of volume 7. With that in mind, here are my goals for it:

Avoid character assassination (i.e. keep everyone in character throughout the situation)

Maintain the relationship between Qrow and Clover

Acknowledge the “Lawful or Good” arc Clover was set up for throughout the volume

Still have it end with Clover’s death. I do this under the desperate assumption that Clover’s death is absolutely necessary plot reasons in volume 8.

A few things to note before I get started.

Firstly, I will be focusing exclusively on the events between Clover, Qrow, Robyn, and Tyrian. I had very few qualms with the rest of the episode.

Secondly, I have some very little experience writing screenplays, but keeping to the strict format of one would be absolute hell on this site. I’m going to do my best to encase character action, scene notes, etc. in [brackets] and character dialogue will be indented in quotations, but that’s about as formal as it’s going to get. So don’t look at this as a model for a professional screenplay. It won’t be and my own voice will probably creep in now and again for commentary or what have you.  

Thirdly, not a lot of changes in the first part of the scene. Apart from a few tweaks, I thought it was fine. But the alterations will become far more noticeable as things progress and the ending, even with Clover’s death, will be drastically different.

[The scene opens the same way it does in canon with the black screen and Ruby’s VO repeating the lines about Ironwood abandoning Mantle. Then we’re in the transport ship with Clover, Qrow, Robyn, and Tyrian. For continuity’s sake, though, the camera work from the end of episode 11 is somewhat mirrored. Ruby gets cut off, within that wide-angle shot in episode 12 Robyn and Qrow look up at Clover, and then the camera cuts to Clover alone. We get to revisit his shell-shocked expression and the camera lingers on him while Robyn delivers her line.]

Robyn: Declaring martial law? We cannot let him do this. (oisl = original in-show line)

[With the camera still on Clover, we get to see him make the conscious effort to close himself off. The conflict in him gets pushed aside and his expression hardens. It’s clear here that he’s going to fall back on his loyalty to James, at least at first. This bit in the show was fine. I had no problem thinking that would be his initial response.]

Clover: Ms. Hill, I’m sure the General understands the enormity of his-- (oisl)

[Clover’s scroll beeps and cuts him off. He pulls it out, looks at it, and sees the orders to arrest Qrow. A shot of his face shows a flicker of emotion, something hesitant and sad. When he stands, his movements are heavy. Qrow sees him, and his own expression shifts into one of concern and confusion.]

Qrow: Clover? (oisl)

[Clover sighs and hesitates only slightly before approaching him. He doesn’t look happy but he does keep eye contact with Qrow and his posture is stiff.]

Clover (resigned, shut down): Qrow, I have orders to bring you in.

Tyrian (laughing): A free ride and a show. (oisl)

Clover: There’s also an alert out for Team RWBY’s arrest. (oisl)

Qrow (worried, scared): What? Has James lost his mind? (oisl)

Robyn: He’s trying to stop anybody who might get in the way of his inhumane plan. (oisl)

[Robyn stands and approaches Clover, engaging her weapon and pointing it at him. I also didn’t have much of a problem with this. At least Robyn had the precedent of being a bit impulsive.]

Robyn: Looks like he underestimated me. Again. (oisl)

Clover: Only Qrow is under arrest. After everything we’ve been through tonight, please don’t make me arrest you, too. (oisl)

[Robyn’s face hardens and she readies an arrow. Clover looks sad and disappointed, but he does still pull out Kingfisher. Qrow stands and gets in between them.]

Qrow: Knock it off, both of you! We’re not doing this. Not with him here.

[Qrow points at Tyrian who is sitting on the bench grinning at them. Robyn and Clover seem to remember exactly where they are and they lower their weapons.]

Qrow (to Robyn):  Let’s get up to Atlas and we can talk to James personally. Maybe there’s something we’re missing.

[Robyn does not look happy about that. Qrow turns to Clover, expression hurt. He holds out his hands and takes a step towards him.]

Qrow: I’m not resisting.

[Clover doesn’t move right away. His resolve visibly cracks, giving us another glimpse at his internal conflict. He puts Kingfisher away, his hand shifting to the bolas on his hip, though he doesn’t actually make any move to put them on Qrow. Instead, he looks painfully torn.]

Clover: I don’t want to do this.

Qrow: Then don’t.

[A tense moment passes between them where neither of them moves and we’re not entirely sure what’s going to happen. Then, with the camera focused on Qrow, Robyn shifts back into the scene over his shoulder. She moves towards the door on the side of the ship.]

Robyn: If you want to hand yourself over, that’s fine. I’m going back to Mantle.

Clover: Ms. Hill, if you leave this transport, I can’t guarantee that someone will--

Robyn (vicious): I’m not asking for your guarantees. I should have known better than to trust you. You never cared about Mantle.

Clover (moving towards her): Robyn--

[Robyn lifts her weapon again and points it at him. Clover stops.]

Robyn: Back off, Clover. I won’t ask again.

[She reaches back for the door latch and pulls it to open it, but at that moment, the ship lurches. They all look up to the front of the ship to see Tyrian with the pilot’s hat on, laughing maniacally and clearly trying to crash the plane. Clover pulls Kingfisher out and launches the hook at him, but a bit of bad luck comes into play and it misses him, piercing the ship’s console or the windshield instead. Tyrian laughs, throws the plane into a nosedive, and all four of them are inside when it hits the ground.

Clover comes to first. He is lying in the pile of snow that got pushed in through the open side of the plane. Kingfisher is next to him but it’s broken, the line and hook having been ripped out of it by the force of the crash.  He looks around and spots Qrow at the back of the ship, unconscious.

Placing a broken Kingfisher back on his hip, he crawls over to Qrow and checks his pulse. He lets out a small sigh of relief when he finds it.]

Clover (gently): Qrow. Can you hear me? I need you to wake up. Come on, wake up.

[After a beat, Qrow moans. His eyes flutter open and his face contorts in pain. Clover is visibly relieved.]

Clover: Are you hurt anywhere?

Qrow (voice tight with pain): My side.

[Clover quickly lifts his shirt and checks him, and basically has an “oh shit” reaction. There is deep bruising on Qrow’s side, suggesting some internal injury.]

Clover: Your aura’s broken.

Qrow (has his own oh shit reaction and then looks at Clover): Are you--

Clover: I’m fine.

Qrow (looking around the wreckage): Where’s Robyn?

Clover (darkly): Where’s Callows?

[They share a look that says they both know this is very bad. Clover sits back on his knees and Qrow tries to push himself up to recline against the wall of the ship, one arm wrapped around his middle. Clover reaches up to activate his earpiece.]

Clover: This is Clover requesting immediate emergency aid. Our ship went down and at least one of our party requires medical attention. (pause for a beat). Callows is unaccounted for.

[Several beats pass and Clover’s hand falls heavily back into his lap, implying a lack of verbal response.]

Qrow: Do you think they got it?

Clover: I don’t know.

[Clover stands and rifles through an overhead compartment in the ship. He shakes out a blanket and wraps Qrow in it. With a broken aura, Qrow has no defense against the cold. Then Clover looks around until he finds Harbinger near the front of the plane. He gets it and brings it back to Qrow, setting it beside him.]

Clover: I’m going to go look for Robyn. If Callows comes, shoot him.

[Qrow laughs a little and lays Harbinger across his lap. Clover takes the bolas off his belt and Qrow gives him a disbelieving look, thinking they’re for him.]

Qrow (flatly): Are you serious right now?

Clover (sets the bolas down in Qrow’s lap with a small smirk): In case shooting him doesn’t work.

[Clover stands and turns to go. Qrow catches his hand, prompting Clover to look back at him. This moment is weighted and intimate, expressions conveying concern for one another.]

Qrow (serious): Be careful.

Clover (reassuring): I’ll be right back.

[They let go of one another and Clover leaves. Qrow changes Harbinger into its shotgun form in preparation.

Scene change to outside. Clover climbs out of the ship and looks around the tundra. The shot establishes how far away they are from Mantle, how isolated they are, and finally pans over to some wreckage a little ways from the main part of the ship. Clover runs over and finds Robyn in the debris. He checks her pulse and is again relieved to find one.]

Tyrian (from behind): Well, well. That worked out better than I thought.

[Clover stands and pulls Kingfisher out, extending it to its full length. The camera makes sure to focus somehow on the warped end and frayed line. Tyrian notices the damage to the weapon and grins.]

Tyrian (sing-songy voice): Divide and conquer, as my Goddess says. There were three. And now there’s just you.

Clover: Tyrian Callows, surrender now and things will go much easier for you.

Tyrian (with a sinsiter laugh): Oh, I have something much more fun in mind.

[He engages his weapons, but instead of going for Clover, he runs for the rest of the ship. Clover’s expression shifts into one of pure panic.]

Clover: Qrow!

[Scene change to Qrow in the ship just as Tyrian runs through the door. Qrow is somewhat ready for him. He throws the bolas at Tyrian’s legs. Tyrian dodges but the bolas do force him to change his trajectory so he can’t land a direct hit on Qrow. Qrow shoots at him and manages to fend him off long enough for Clover to get there.

I’m not overly good with detailing fight scenes, so I’ll just try to give the broad strokes here.

Clover gets Tyrian out of the ship and engages him out in the open. Qrow drags himself to his feet and goes to the opening of the ship where he focuses on taking shots at Tyrian whenever Clover is far enough away from him to do so. Clover holds his own against Tyrian, but with Kingfisher broken, he’s at a severe disadvantage. He eventually takes a hard hit that shatters his aura. Tyrian is about to close in on him when Qrow takes another shot, having moved much closer. Tyrian turns and goes after Qrow instead. The altercation is extremely brief. With Qrow’s aura broken and his injury, Tyrian only has to land a single hit to get him to go down. Harbinger gets knocked from his hand in the process. Off to the side, Clover gets back to his feet. Qrow tries to reach for Harbinger but Tyrian gets to him and steps on his wrist, putting a blade to his throat. Qrow glares up at him, defiant. A moment passes in which Tyrian grins at him and Qrow’s expression shifts from defiant to confused to horrified. Just as Qrow begins to comprehend Tyrian’s plan, Clover comes up behind Tyrian to attack him. Tyrian turns, blocks with his wrist weapon things, while simultaneously grabbing Harbinger with his tail (it’s been established that his tail is that dextrous) and using it to kill Clover.]

Qrow: No!

[Clover falls to the ground. Qrow’s expression is one of horror. He tries to stand but can’t quite get to his feet.]

Qrow (to Tyrian): I’ll kill you! (oisl)

Tyrian: You mean like you just killed Clover? (oisl)

[Overhead, the ships that Clover called for are arriving. Tyrian grins and throws Harbinger a few feet away.]

Tyrian: I’d love to stay and watch, but you know my history with the authorities. Until next time, Qrow.

[Tyrian turns and sprints back towards Mantle. Qrow watches him go for a moment, furious, and then he crawls over to Clover. Maybe he even takes off his cape and tries to staunch the bleeding.]

Clover: Qrow...

Qrow: I’m here. The ships are coming. All you have to do is hold on.

Clover: I’m so sorry.

Qrow: Don’t. Don’t do that. Just... Stop talking. You’re not dying out here.

Clover (gently): Qrow.

Qrow (fierce): No!

[Qrow visibly struggles to hold himself together.]

Qrow (pleading): Please stay.

Clover (softly): I wish I could.

[Qrow breaks and starts to cry. Clover looks over and sees the sun rising. Then he looks back to Qrow and smiles.]

Clover: I’m glad I met you.  (If you want to be cheesy, you could even go with “I’m lucky I met you.”)

[The light fades out of his eyes and he’s gone. Qrow screams in agony.

End scene.]

There you have it. The only thing missing is Qrow’s promise to get vengeance on James, but that motivation could easily have been communicated in episode 13 with little more than some strategic camera shots, the fact that Qrow has Clover’s pin, and Qrow’s expression turning from one of sorrow to one of rage as they approach Atlas. Seriously. He could have looked out the front window, seen Atlas Academy, closed his hand around the pin, and gone from looking numb to looking pissed. That’s all that would have been needed.

No one had to step out of character for this to happen. The relationship that CRWBY worked so hard to build between Clover and Qrow throughout the volume, whether you saw it as romantic or not, would have been maintained. And the end result is still the same: Clover is dead and Qrow is framed for it.

Really not that hard.

BridgeComm Develops Optical Inter-satellite Links for Enhanced Data Transmission

BridgeComm Develops Optical Inter-satellite Links for Enhanced Data Transmission BridgeComm, a leader in optical wireless communications (OWC) solutions and services, has announced that it will offer customers AstroBridge optical inter-satellite links (OISL) tracking terminals for high data rates for data transmission and resilient performance in navigation. BridgeComm’s AstroBridge OISL will provide robust and secure transmissions using MOCA technology via radio frequency (RF) and optical lasers.

"AstroBridge OISL is a significant step in the maturation of inter-satellite links and the future of satellite data transmission, as more companies are incorporating inter-satellite links," said Barry Matsumori, BridgeComm CEO. "Along with increased speed and security, our AstroBridge OISL offers multi-gigabit per second data rate capabilities while being smaller and lighter than its standard inter-satellite link counterparts. These features will greatly improve functionality in space and on the ground."

BridgeComm’s AstroBridge is designed for low-earth orbits (LEO), with non-gimballed steering for better control of optical communication tracking terminals. The non-gimballed steering capabilities of AstroBridge allow for tracking of greater than 1000° per second, which is crucial for constellations with multiple orbital planes.

Connecting satellites in a constellation by optical inter-satellite links offers significant benefits, including shorter wavelengths, along with a better ranging resolution and synchronization.

SpaceX will launch a batch of 13 communications and missile tracking satellites from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base on the Tranche 0 Flight 2 mission for the Space Development Agency (SDA). The flight is scheduled on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023, with the 59-minute-long launch window opening at 7:26 AM PDT (14:26 UTC). If needed there is a backup opportunity at the same time on Friday. Shortly after SpaceX will attempt to launch its Starlink Group 6-13 mission. This will be SpaceX’s 50th launch from Vandenberg. After conducting a total of 19 launches from SLC-4E from 2013 through 2021, the pace has picked up recently with 13 missions in 2022 and 17 flights already completed in 2023. Tranche 0, Flight 2 The Falcon 9 booster used for this mission, B1063-13, has previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, and eight Starlink missions. After separating from the second stage the booster will return to Landing Zone 4 at Vandenberg Space Force Base. The Falcon 9 second stage will be deorbited south of South Africa a couple of hours after the launch. The operational orbit for the satellites will be near 1,000 km in altitude with an inclination of 81 degrees. The first Tranche 0 launch placed its payloads into an initial orbit of approximately 940 by 950 kilometers in altitude. Two of the satellites have since raised to an operational orbit closer to 960 by 980 kilometers. This is the second of two launches for SDA’s Tranche 0, the demonstration phase of the new Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), formerly known as the National Defense Space Architecture. SpaceX was awarded a 150 million dollar contract on Dec. 31, 2020, for two flights of Falcon 9. Lockheed Martin Tranche 0 Transport Layer satellites. (Credit: Lockheed Martin) The 13 payloads on this flight include 10 Transport Layer satellites from Lockheed Martin, one Transport Layer satellite from York Space Systems, and two Tracking Layer satellites from SpaceX. The first flight in April carried eight Transport Layer satellites from York and two Tracking Layer satellites from SpaceX. One Transport Layer Type A satellite from York Space Systems will now be used as a testbed on the ground instead of launching, and four Tracking Layer satellites from L3Harris will share a launch with the Missile Defense Agency later this year. The SDA was established in March 2019 to serve as a “constructive disrupter” for the Department of Defense (DOD) space acquisition. SDA’s focus is to perform spiral development of PWSA, a proliferated low-Earth Orbit constellation, that will provide communications, missile warning/tracking, and other functions to the DoD by deploying many smaller, less expensive, and faster to produce spacecraft than traditional DOD satellite systems. SDA became part of the Space Force on Oct. 1, 2022. The SDA’s motto is “Semper Citius,” meaning always faster. The goal is to regularly field new batches of satellites that improve in capability over time, rather than design exquisite systems that would likely come in years late and over budget. Every two years the SDA will procure a new Tranche of satellites that can include multiple layers performing different functions. See AlsoSDA Tranche 0 Flight 2 DiscussionSDA LEO Constellation DiscussionL2 SpaceX SectionClick here to Join L2 Each tranche is openly competed so that new vendors have an opportunity to participate in the program. Building a constellation of interoperable satellites from multiple vendors is a key goal of the program. This has been a boon to several suppliers of small satellite buses and optical inter-satellite links (OISL) that have been able to begin producing higher volumes of its products. The constellation will eventually include hundreds of satellites in near-polar orbits at 1,000 kilometer altitude. Transport Layer satellites are the backbone of the network, carrying RF and optical communication payloads, with the optical links forming a mesh network. There are tactical Link 16 payloads to communicate with forces in the field, as well as other RF payloads to communicate with ground stations. For Tranche 0, there are two types of Transport satellites: Group A (13 satellites) has two OISL as well as RF communications, while Group B (seven satellites) has two OISL and Link 16 tactical data links. In Tranche 1 the Transport satellites will have more OISL and tactical data links on each spacecraft. This second launch has seven Group A and four Group B Transport satellites. Tracking Layer satellites serve an overhead persistent infrared imaging function for missile warning and tracking with a wide field of view payload, and can communicate with the Transport Layer satellites over optical links. They are designed to track advanced missiles including hypersonic glide vehicles. Starting with Tranche 1, each spiral will also include some experimental satellites used to mature new payloads for communications, remote sensing, position navigation and timing, and more advanced onboard computing. Tranche 0 Flight 1 payload stack, with two SpaceX Tracking Layer satellites on top and eight York Transport Layer satellites below. (Credit: York Space Systems) Tranche 0 (the Warfighter Immersion tranche) is focused on demonstrating the procurement, deployment, and operation of a minimum viable product. The agency moved quickly to begin procuring this first tranche, with contracts for the Transport Layer, Tracking Layer, and launch awarded by the end of 2020. The Tranche 0 Transport Layer contracts for 20 satellites were awarded on Aug. 31, 2020, at the cost of about $280 million; this contract awarded 10 satellites each to Lockheed Martin ($187 million) and York ($94 million). The Tracking Layer contracts for eight satellites were awarded on Oct. 5, 2020, at a total cost of about $350 million, with four satellites each to L3Harris ($194 million) and SpaceX ($149 million). While most of the satellites are sized to be mounted on ESPA rings to form the payload stack, the SpaceX satellites are larger and will be placed on top of the ESPA rings. Ground systems for Tranche 0 are being provided through collaboration with the Naval Research Laboratory, which also supports interoperability testing of the OISL hardware from various vendors. There are now seven ground entry points for the network, with four in Alaska, two in Maryland, and one overseas. The satellites from the first launch are well into their commissioning processes. The two Tracking Layer satellites from SpaceX have passed their bus checkouts, raised their orbits, and achieved first light on their infrared imaging payloads about two months after launch. The York satellites have gone through their bus checkouts and are preparing to test their Link 16 communications payloads. One satellite was found to have a workmanship issue that does not prevent it from performing the mission but will limit its capacity. Link 16 has not been used through satellites in the past, and SDA is currently working its way through the federal frequency coordination processes for the new usage of this tactical communications protocol. Orbit raising for the York satellites will take place after the initial Link 16 payload testing. Work has begun on the initialization of the optical inter-satellite link payloads for the spacecraft from the first launch. Testing of the optical links may begin later this year. Falcon 9 after launching the Crew-7 mission. (Credit: SpaceX) Future tranches are already underway. Tranche 1 is to provide an initial warfighting capability. Features of Tranche 1 are regional persistence for tactical data links, advanced missile detection, and beyond-line-of-sight targeting. Tranche 2, following two years after Tranche 1, will provide global persistence for all of the functionality in Tranche 1 and incorporate lessons learned from operating Tranche 0. All of the contracts for Tranche 1 have been awarded and procurement of Tranche 2 is under way. SDA recently awarded contracts worth approximately $1.5 billion to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman for a total of 72 Beta variant satellites in the Tranche 2 Transport Layer. Bids have also been received for 100 Alpha variant satellites for the Tranche 2 Transport Layer, which will be split between two vendors. Starlink Group 6-13 Just nine hours after the SDA launch, SpaceX will launch yet another Starlink mission from Space Launch Complex 40, at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, in Florida. Liftoff is currently scheduled for Aug. 31, at 7:52 PM EDT (23:52 UTC); in the event of a delay, several backup T0s are available, with the launch window open until 1:01 AM EDT (05:01 UTC), and a backup launch window 24 hours later. The booster supporting this mission, B1077-7, has supported the Crew-5 mission, GPS III SV06, Inmarsat I-5, CRS-28, Galaxy 37, and one Starlink mission. Following the launch, it will attempt landing on SpaceX’s drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas, which will be stationed roughly 640 kilometers downrange. It was tugged by Crosby Skipper, which has been used to support a large number of missions while SpaceX’s multi-purpose recovery vessel Bob is out for maintenance. SpaceX’s other recovery vessel Doug will be attempting to recover both fairing halves on this mission. It is unknown if these fairings are flight proven or not; however, it is probably given over 90% of fairings this year have been flown before. This mission will place 22 Starlink v2 Mini satellites into a 285 by 293-kilometer low-Earth orbit, inclined 42.99 degrees. The satellites will spend the following months raising their orbits to the operation 530-kilometer circular low-Earth orbit, inclined 43.00 degrees.
