The first photo from space, and the first time the curvature of the earth had been seen, 24 Oct 1946. It was taken by a Devry 35mm movie camera attached to a German A4/V2 rocket at an altitude of 104km/65 miles. The V2 was launched from the US Army White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. It was one of the large number of V2s that were brought to the US under Operation Paperclip

The funny thing was, it was never quiet in space. Hob had thought it would be, that first time he’d left the planet in his own ship... At some point he’d had formed the idea that once he got up there by himself, once he left the public spaceport and the press of overpopulation behind, he would leave the noise behind, too. Find, at last, a pure silence, the likes of which he hadn’t experienced in all his long life. Space, he’d thought, under the right circumstances, could be free of everything, of bugs and advertisements and other people, of every little noise. He’d been wrong.

The funny thing was, it was never quiet in space.

Hob had thought it would be, that first time he’d left the planet in his own ship.

Commercial spaceflights were loud, of course, and always had been – as bad as planes were, back in the day, and maybe even worse, during the longer flights to the Mars colonies – industrial-sized rockets generating industrial-sized noise ferrying care packages and flour and crying children across the solar system instead of cross-country. But at some point he had formed the idea that once he got up there by himself, once he left the public spaceport and the press of overpopulation behind, he would leave the noise behind, too.

Find, at last, a pure silence, the likes of which he hadn’t experienced in all his long life. Space, he’d thought, under the right circumstances, could be free of everything, of bugs and advertisements and other people, of every little noise.

He’d been wrong.

It wasn’t just that his little ship, new as she was, made her own small moans and groans on that first test run beyond the edge of Earth’s atmosphere. The crackle of the radio, the hum of the engines, the muted whistle of the air purifier – all these sounds could be turned off, and Hob had done so. He’d shut down everything but the most basic life support and floated in the liminal space between the Earth and the Moon for a full ten minutes, a tiny soap bubble in the darkness. He’d breathed deeply, taken his mind away from the sound of his own heartbeat, and listened.

Turns out, space makes its own music.

As the years went by, he gained a variety of descriptions of the music from other spacefarers who’d heard it too. Some of the more fanciful freelancers called it celestial jazz and discussed at length whether it followed a particular meter, if it was chromatic or pentatonic in scale, and other musical terms Hob barely understood.

A group of missionaries he met on a remote Martian outpost insisted that the music was the means by which God was expressing themself directly to the universe.

Scientists talked about background radiation and planetary resonance and something called vacuum atmospherics on which he read several papers before deciding, ruefully, that there were some mathematic principles which he would simply never understand.

He’d asked Dream about it, once. Had even shut down all systems like he had that first time, just to listen. (He still does, occasionally, because whatever it is, it is beautiful.)

What is it? he’d asked. You must know.

And Dream had smirked that particular Endless smirk that drove Hob mad, and drawn him away from the viewscreen and its twinkling miniature Earth.

Stars dream, too, Hob Gadling.

And that had been all Hob had been able to glean from his lover on the subject.

Hob’s ship was not a thing of beauty. Her design was far too boxy and utilitarian for that. But Hob loved his snug little vessel with an almost obsessive affection. She reminded him of a camper van he’d had in the 1960s, or the massive rolltop desk he’d put in his study in the late 1800s, everything folded away in neat drawers and cubby holes, not an inch wasted. He reveled in it every time he made ready for a trip: packing away his clothes and gear, choosing rations, replacing the air filters, checking the water purifier and the drip lines on his tiny hydroponic garden.

And, crucially, she was all his.

Even the New Inn, way back when, hadn’t really been all his. There’d been investors and mortgage holders and zoning committees and eventually the National Heritage List to contend with, and while Hob had been the one to pick the lighting fixtures and design the wooden inlay on the bar, it had always been fundamentally a group project. Not to mention that its very purpose was to serve as a gathering place, a safe space for anyone who happened to walk through the door.

Not so his spaceship. All right, he hadn’t built her himself – despite his best efforts, he would never be more than a mediocre aerospace engineer – but Hob had spent weeks at the dealership, poring over schematics and blueprints, personally choosing the design of every single cubic centimeter. The sales associate had leered a little when Hob insisted on a double-wide bunk, given that all the other specs were for single occupancy – but he was paying cash, not financing, so it wasn’t like they were going to argue with him.

He’d known it was worth a little leering, the first time he and Dream had wrapped their arms around each other and gazed out the tiny porthole window at the stars, so close you could almost reach out and touch them.

Dream had been with him when his ship was delivered to the public spaceport nearest Hob’s flat. They’d walked around her together, Dream smiling slightly as Hob enthusiastically described the engines and pointed out the retractable heat shields. His long fingers had trailed over the official designation engraved on the side – Hob still thought of it as a license plate, like on his car – and he’d raised an eyebrow.

“I know,” Hob had laughed. “Can you believe it?”

“You did not choose this number on purpose?”

“Believe it or not, no. They’re automatically assigned during manufacture, randomly generated so each one is unique. This is pure human coincidence, my friend. Or maybe fate, who knows – we’ll have to ask your brother. Not that he’ll tell us.”

Dream had traced the numbers again: UKCS-001389, big and bold. Then he’d smiled.

“Come, take me inside,” he’d said. “I would see that my beloved will live well among the stars.”

Hob had locked the hatch behind them.

Later, after Hob had showed off every corner and cubbyhole, and after they had thoroughly evaluated the comfort and structural integrity of the double-wide bunk, they’d sprawled together, fingers finding new patterns on familiar skin.

“Have you given any thought as to what you might name her?” Dream had asked idly.

“Some. My first idea was to call her the Robin.” Hob had sighed. “I liked to think of that name flying off to the moon and other planets – but it was already taken and the UKSA doesn’t allow for duplicates.”

“And your second choice?”

“Well,” Hob had turned and run the backs of his knuckles down Dream’s cheek. “I do have another idea. But I wanted to ask you about it first. I was thinking… well, you’ve told me so much about her… I was thinking, I might name her Jessamy.”

Dream’s head had turned slowly toward Hob, an inscrutable look in his eye.

“I know it was a while ago now, even by our standards. But she was with you for so long. She loved you, protected you –”

“And failed, in the end,” he’d said thickly. “And died.”

“She didn’t fail. And I don’t think her death is the most important thing about her. I mean, I don’t think it’s bad luck or anything, you know? It’s only one bad moment in a long, long string of good ones. And, you know,” he had stumbled gamely on, “I like the idea that part of her – part of you – would be traveling with me. A new adventure. It would make me feel… close to you, if she were with me. When you aren’t here.”

Dream had simply looked at him, for a long moment, and then pushed him onto his back and rolled on top of him, kissing him slowly and sweetly and deeply.

“Even after all this time, the depth of your heart never fails to astonish me. I would be honored,” he’d said, “if Jessamy were to fly again with you. And so, I think, would she.”

The next day, Hob had gone to the nearest Space Agency office, waited in an interminable line, and officially registered UK Civilian Ship 001389 as the Jessamy.

A week later, she flew for the first time. Or again, depending on how you measure it. And thus the newest chapter in Hob’s long life had begun.

For the ask game!! 🖍🙃🐻📏

🖍️ First thing I remember drawing was a Pokémon comic when I was 6-7 yo in a very dull Summer when I had no friends around and no videogames. The comic was about Team Rocket trying to catch Pokémon.

🙃 Hmm I'd say front view and slightly facing at the left? Seems the more natural pose to me?

🐻 Two very particular OCs, either my Prince Song crying or my Prince Fireopal with new fashion. But also hugs. Lots of hugs.

📏 A4! I used to make bigger illustrations long ago, around 60x40 cm, but today I rarely draw on A3. Totally should try it again, someday, sometime.

[prommytheus]

idk if you're doing characters from any particular thing but jessie team rocket in a4 would be fun :)

thanks!!

:DDD im not a big fan of team rocket or pokeani outside of meowth, who is my favorite guy on earth, but jessie’s fun to draw. this outfit is cool too

June Log

Starting this month on June 1st, with the help of @indecisartistrun, and @mimiciora we did a collaborative colouring book with he children from their community. Everyone filled the page with what they would take with them when they inevitably have to move to space. The book is in the shape of a rocket to help them in thgeur space explorations 🚀

The editorial illustration I made for a rather heartbreaking text written by Alexandra Voivozeanu for AnthroArt. You can read it in full here. I also recommend browsing their articles for more insightful texts and drawings into different social and environmental anthropological issues.

Had to get back to Cluj-Napoca, where I prepared a little book with sketches, ideas and in-process projects for ArtiViStory's exhibition: UNBOXED STORIES - Urban comics with ArtiViStory Collective. The little blue zine takes the shape of a silkworm and is titled: The last sleep in my silk cocoon.

Getting back to Cluj meant that I could finally pick up the drawings I made in collaboration with Anca, that she gracefully left at our old apartment when she passed by. The drawings are an ongoing collaborative project, started by Ana Kun and Covrig (Anca Dima), called Half&Half. Each artist that takes part in it has to make two half-drawings that will be finished by another artist of their choice, both getting to keep one of them at the end.

Got back to Timișoara and drew this along with Ana, as preparation for a bigger project that will have us draw together on a huge piece of paper.

The Balamuc residency got us all together again for a Weidly-shaped-Zine workshop I conducted as part of the 9 public events of the program. Thanks to everyone who attended for your openness ad creativity :o)

Happened to find myself in Bucharest at the end of June, so I had to visit Covrig at her studio, which was the main place in which I hanged out while Gavril was putting up his stunning duo show with Giulia Crețulescu at Ivan Gallery. She was kind enough to let me use her aerograph, here are some drawings I made. While there, Alin from BooksForFriends brought me the riso posters we collaborated on. The prints are made after a digital drawing I made around Easter, printed in three colours on 42x30cm paper. They can still be bought from either me or from BFF's page.

While on a mini Bucharest vacation, I found some time to inaugurate the big, scary A4 sketchbook I've been carrying around for a few months.

Had to rush back to Timișoara to organise my last solo workshop within the Balamuc Make a Wish Residency. Based on a huge map I drew as a kid of places where I'd like to escape to, I created a workshop in which we all work on a collaborative map of recurrent dream locations. Similar to the places that I'd draw on the map when I was 9, this map also includes fantastical places that serve as an escape to the adult world, in our dreams. I posted my contributions.

Thanks to Flo from The Secret Garden, I received the first prints of my speculative gouache book, Who is Adriana?. I made this book during my Erasmus scholarship at Academia de Belle Arti in Bari, trying to explore what could be the identity of Adriana, the name that my neighbour screamed for every night. I never expected this project to gain as much popularity as it got, but the pleasantly good reception gave me the right kind of push to print it in order for people to have their own copy as well.

Introduction Model rocketry is an exciting hobby that combines both technology and creativity. Model rocketry enthusiasts are always looking for new and innovative ways to improve their rockets, and one such way is by using an Arduino-based altimeter. An altimeter is a device used to measure altitude or height above sea level. The Arduino-based altimeter is an electronic device that utilizes the power of Arduino microcontrollers to record and store the altitude data of your model rocket's flight. The Arduino-based altimeter can be used for a range of things, such as measuring the maximum altitude of your rocket and ensuring that it deploys its parachute at the correct time. In this article, we’ll provide you with an in-depth guide on how you can build a model rocket altimeter using Arduino. How to Build a Model Rocket Altimeter using Arduino To build an Arduino-based altimeter for your model rocket, you will need the following components: - Arduino Uno R3 board - BMP280 digital pressure sensor - Lipo battery - PCB board - Resistors - Jumper wires - LEDs Once you have all these components, follow these steps to construct your model rocket altimeter: Step 1: Assemble the circuit Using the PCB board, assemble the circuit according to the schematics provided. Start by connecting the BMP280 pressure sensor to the Arduino Uno board. You can do this by connecting the SDA and SCL pins of the sensor to the A4 and A5 pins of the board. Additionally, connect the VIN and GND pins of the sensor to the 5V and GND pins of the board, respectively. Step 2: Add a switch To power the altimeter on and off, add a switch. The switch should be connected to the VIN and GND of the Lipo battery. Step 3: Connect the LEDs Connect the LEDs to the digital pins of the board, ensuring that the resistors are used to limit the current that flows through them. Step 4: Upload the code Once you have assembled the circuit, upload the code to the Arduino Uno board. The code is readily available online, and you can find it on the Arduino IDE or in various online forums. Step 5: Power the altimeter The altimeter should now be powered on, and you can test it by connecting it to the Lipo battery. You can then place the altimeter into your model rocket, and it will record and store the altitude data during the rocket's flight. FAQs About Model Rocket Altimeter Arduino 1. What is the maximum altitude the Arduino-based altimeter can measure? The BMP280 pressure sensor used in this altimeter has a range of 300-1100 hPa, equivalent to an altitude range of approximately 9,000 meters above sea level. However, the maximum altitude that can be measured by the altimeter is dependent on factors such as the quality and accuracy of the sensor, the barometric pressure of the location of the rocket launch, and the sensitivity of the pressure sensor. 2. How can I calibrate my altimeter? To calibrate your altimeter, you will need to use a known elevation location such as a mountain or hilltop. Once you get to this location, insert a battery and turn on the altimeter, then wait for it to stabilize before writing down the altitude data. Repeat this process a few times, and then calculate the average deviation between the readings. You can then adjust the calibration constants in the code to ensure that the altitude measurement is accurate. 3. Can the altimeter record temperature? The BMP280 pressure sensor used in this altimeter can measure temperature in addition to pressure, meaning that the altimeter can record both altitude and temperature data. You can even customize the code to record and store temperature data, in addition to the altitude data. Conclusion An Arduino-based altimeter for model rockets is an innovative way to record and store the altitude data of your rocket's flight. By using this altimeter, you can ensure that your model rocket deploys its parachute at the correct time, and you can also record its maximum altitude. Building an Arduino-based altimeter for model rockets is straightforward and requires only a few components.

With the right skills and knowledge, you can also customize the code to record other data such as temperature. If you have any questions or comments Please contact us on our contact page or via our Facebook page. #model #rocket #altimeter #arduino
