Spaceway 70 - Pablo

The Marlin heaves out of the darkened dock, whining with unwarmed engines. A simple objective:

- Assess damages, neutralize threats.

I've done it a million times before. Come to think of it,—

Red lights blare outside and the station's distress call is picked up by the radio. I fly around the cylindrical body—perform a systematic scan. How would the incident report be written?

- Upper hull damaged in a hit-and-run bombing; station status unknown.

- Soldier casualties: ...

Soldiers. They never chose to lay down their lives—to fight for an uncaring ruler—not them.

- Assailant(s): Unknown vessel, presumed solitary. Heat signature detected, actively pursuing.

Ambiguous language. Open to litigation. Sarge would be sad.

- Disregard previous entry. Chasing assailant via engine heat; infrared reading with 0.87 certainty. Monitoring radar.

- Radar confirms a small ship. Moving at 75% of own velocity. Distance 2000 mi.

- Approaching civilian zone

- Contact.

They pull up and to the left, attempting to get above and behind me, though it's too little, too late.

- Assailant neutralized with ballistics. Assumed to have hit engine.

- Upon visual examination, there appears to have been no pilot. Control is either automated or remote. No outstanding radio frequency detected.

Darn...

Out and ahead of me are markers indicating a commercial route. Safe for traders.

A transponder on one of the markers pings my ship. Something about remaining in place, a unit arriving soon. I don't make it a good hundred miles before a squad comes in with weapons hot.

I dodge a few shots and they graze me with a laser. I'm not about to make war with a whole task force.

The Marlin is a ship of esoteric construction. It has a hull constructed for incredibly heavy salvos—granted you have enough sealant [1] aboard. It comes with a cloak [2], more a scrambler than anything, which uses up insane amounts of power, and an EM pulse [3] which likewise drains my batteries. It's a perfect ship for an early retirement [4], as long as my encounters are few and far between.

With the push of a fader I turn my radio into a tool of war, creating a streak of white along their IR imager and making their radar unusable. Similarly, with a press of a button the magnetron pulses on, disabling their steering and warming up their cabins.

- Three combatants neutralized; nonlethal means

Two more pull down and in front, shooting and missing. I pull up and turn around, hoping to hit them with more microwaves.

< -#- VACDETEC V1.4 -#- >

< ALARM >

<HULL BREACH | d.0s>

<HULL BREACH | d.1s>

<HULL BREACH | d.2s>

I begin to sweat as the laser weapon dissipates as heat into my cockpit.

< HULL SEALED >

< SEALANT AT 25% >

I need to leave.

I reach up to grab a solar compass [5] and scribble my heading onto the cockpit glass.

- Taking extratactical measures: Magnetron shielding angle set to 175.8 degrees

< ## Are you sure? Use of EMP with current settings may cause systems to misbehave. ## >

[ YES ]

Navigation goes dark as two more ships behind me lose steering. I launch a wide-range RF jammer [6] and a hot net [7]. I cut my engines and seal the exhaust [8].

This is a special dance they taught us in Academy; " . . . each ship has its own precise limits, though with them come potential," they had us memorize old literature, "that is why you must know yours more intimately than the body of your lover . . . " I positioned one hand over the exhaust control and another over the ignition. Two seconds, three seconds, and

< -#- SHELL -#- >

< ALARM >

<ENGINE OVERHEAT>

The ship rattles as I rocket dead ahead in the direction of home. Another alarm blares on my monitor,

<CHECK ENGINE>

A few milliseconds too late. I hear a faint whisper—a hiss—join the chorus of the Marlin's song. I'm sorry. I'll fix it soon. It'll be ok.

" . . . for each time you take up the helm, you partake in a romance far more real than any other, for no other can see the terror

of a deprivation so terrible, or a death so swift."

[1]: A chemical formulation which undergoes an extremely exothermic reaction when exposed to the vacuum of space. Akin to tire sealant from when vulcanized rubber was used for land vehicles.

[2]: A system consisting of telescoping antennae and an ultra-high amplitude RF generator. Hides a ship's exact location within a much broader, irregular radio signature.

[3]: A high-powered magnetron capable of producing strong microwaves with multiple miles of range. Temporarily scrambles navigation systems, causing affected ships to veer off-course.

[4]: I can't keep doing this

[5]: An indicator which points in the direction of the closest star, when properly calibrated. Detects the unique products of nuclear fusion.

[6]: Akin to the cloak, a disposable projectile which blanks out vast swathes of a ship's radio imager.

[7]: A large, mechanized retroreflector which concentrates heat from all directions, and shoots it back at the viewer, making infrared imaging of a ship nearly impossible.

[8]: In reference to a mechanism which seals the exhaust vents of the Marlin. This turns the entirety of the engine tract into a bomb. A stupid idea if held closed for more than a few seconds.

[tgrailwar-zero]

With a flash, you returned to reality, where the battle had stalled. You saw a bit of battle damage on CONSTANTINE and KUKULKAN- it seems like they sustained a little bit of damage as your interaction with MUSASHI pushed a bit past 'stunning' and turned into a full-on contract. Still, it could be worse.

There was a form standing before you and your Servants. A swordswoman, who smiled amicably.

MUSASHI: "Shinmen Musashi-no-Kami Fujiwara-no-Harunobu, the Flower at the Apex of Heaven, is at your service!"

CONSTANTINE: "A new Servant, and 'Musashi', huh... I guess that means that our Masters were successful. Well, nice to meet you. You may call me 'Rider', we can divulge True Names when we're in… more appropriate company."

PRETENDER: "I get it, I get it. Ah, but a new ally? And a woman claiming to be 'Shinmen Musashi' to boot…"

KUKULKAN: "I'm… uh, Foreigner? Invader? I think there's already a Foreigner, so I'm sticking with Invader! Nice to meet you, Musashi!"

MUSASHI: "Hmm... Rider's pretty handsome, and Invader is cute when she isn't as robot-y... not bad, not bad at all, Masters..."

After listening to MUSASHI murmur something... a bit odd, you realized that you could feel a magical connection between you and her. It seems as if a Contract was established! Monitoring your Command Spells, it seemed as if two of KUKULKAN's Command Spells were transferred over to MUSASHI. It seems like creating multiple contracts without the assistance of some higher power within the system means that you'll have to share. Unless the contract was established before, like with RIDER or potentially AVENGER, and then you'd simply regain the proper amount of Command Spells.

Regardless, of the specifics, this was a success! Because...

[ MUSASHI joined the party! ]

PRETENDER: "Well, as much as I'd love to have a few hours for introductions and teambuilding, there is a Beast currently terrorizing the city, and her main body should now be unimpeded with Miss Musashi's taming."

KUKULKAN: "Oh, right! Draco! Right! Let's go, everyone!"

The rest of the walk was easy. Now with MUSASHI out of the way, at least in terms of her being an active threat against your group, the rest of the path was surprisingly clear. You wandered deeper and deeper into the catacombs, the air growing sticky and dense with vile mana.

You could hear MUSASHI, on instinct, unsheathing her blades and readying them for a battle. You noted that CONSTANTINE had his own hand on the hilt of his blade, but a faint surge of prana restrained his movements as he tried to pull it out, the magic of the Command Spell compelling him against his better instincts.

CONSTANTINE put a hand up, stopping the group.

CONSTANTINE: "We're close. I can sense her- and the terrain is beginning to shift. Which means we'd best strategize on how to handle her."

Your small troupe stopped, looking between one another. This was a conversation that was a long time coming, frankly. CONSTANTINE spoke up first- his voice clear and imperious.

CONSTANTINE: "That Beast is the Whore of Babylon made manifest. The Beast of Revelations as foretold by the apostle Saint John. She is a woman of wicked intent, set on destroying civilization. I understand why that may seem appealing due to our current situation, but all you'll be doing is feeding a monster! Allying with that Beast- becoming a Master of the Beast- will make us the true enemies of the Solar Cell, not just the Lair Servants. Humanity itself will reason for your very destruction. I say we slice her throat as soon as we see the whites of her eyes."

MUSASHI sighed, looking between her new traveling companions.

MUSASHI: "I've fought a lot of real jerks, but my blade hasn't sliced apart any Beasts before. But… I've also known the type of idealist who thinks that they can tame a Beast anyways, so as much as my swords are rattling, I can't lunge one way or the other. I do get what Rider means, though. Sticking the Beast in some other Class may lessen the rest of the World's insistence on killing them, but will make them less… uh, powerful? And that's only if you're able to do it…"

As MUSASHI's comment elicited an eyebrow raise from CONSTANTINE, KUKULKAN spoke up, a bit hesitantly.

KUKULKAN: "I don't know a ton about Beasts and Humanity or the World… I'm still learning about how most aspects of Human History work, but I think we need to take a chance with Draco. I don't want to decide someone is rotten or not just before meeting them, and she'll be good for this fight. I'm sure there's some good there too! If everyone hates us for the choices we make, that's okay, right? We'll be a team! You decided that you'd be enemies of this world for the sake of saving it."

The discussion was cut short as a voice pierced through the air--

???: "Stop sitting and chittering in the wings like rats, and fully reveal yourselves on my stage. To hold up a performance is poor manners, you know?"

As your Servants hesitantly reached the amphitheater, the sky seemed to be blotted out by the dark shape that moved, slowly and intentionally. You felt eyes boring down on you, a presence and weight that held a unique sense of 'gravity'.

Looking up, you saw the massive shadow of ALTER-EGO… or at least a Servant that greatly resembled her. Her body was clad head to toe in black leather, her eyes having lost their joy and luster in exchange for a bitter darkness. An innocent being, once calmed by the melody of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star', now twisted into something devoid of that purity.

DRACO: "Welcome, o' Former Masters of mine, to my great stage! Oh, and do not mind my new toy. My mud has corroded her mind, Altered her Spirit Origin, and to be surrounded by a woman as beautiful as the sakura trees of the East is only an apt beginning of an imperial court. She is one of my Seven Heads made manifest, now. I've taken to calling her 'Sakura Superbia'."

KUKULKAN: "Wow... Draco is a pretty fast worker, isn't she...? Even I can tell that Servant is super dangerous, luckily, I'm sure our Masters are already thinking of a top-rate contingency plan if things go south... right?"

Staring up with an inscrutable expression, PRETENDER tutted.

PRETENDER: "Alter-Ego... You're quite the problematic Servant, aren't you? Always landing in some inconvenient situation. Avenger and Foreigner will be very upset if we don't fix this..."

"SAKURA SUPERBIA": "Pretender, Pretender, Pretender... you were always tiny like an insect, but now I feel like I could pin you and those pretty little wings to a board. Or should I just squish you instead?"

CONSTANTINE: "How lovely. So... that settles what happened to Alter-Ego, but what of Assassin?" MUSASHI: "You don't think they're controlled like that big girl?"

With a shake of his head, CONSTANTINE continued to look around the area.

CONSTANTINE: "Maybe, but... I'd like to be optimistic and say they escaped..."

Looking down below ALTER-EGO, in the shadow of the Massive Servant, you saw DRACO. She didn't seem... weak, particularly, but she had seemed stronger. It seemed like the lack of a proper contract was putting some toll on her body.

DRACO: "The sword is still in your possession, yes? Good. Deliver my sword, and I shall grant you wisdom of the Solar Cell. Give me tribute, and I shall consider renewing our contract. But behold, with my assistance, you gain an even mightier ally. How magnanimous am I. Normally I would have you kneel, but as you have no true body, my former Masters, I cannot ask you to bow your heads and beg for forgiveness. However, the Rider…"

You saw her mouth twist into a bitter, amused grin. CONSTANTINE shuddered though he did not look away, his eyes cold and piercing.

CONSTANTINE: "Oh, please speak, Whore of Babylon. Give me ample cause to wrench myself free of the Command Spell's curse and loose your head from your vile shoulders."

This seemed like an expected outcome. You told him he couldn't act out and defy your instructions- which at this point cycled around 'wait and see' regarding DRACO. That didn't mean he had to be nice about it.

DRACO: "How brave. Then yes, if you make him beg instead, that will be a far more amusing sight. And have him lop off his own head as well, then I will consider that apt sacrifice and have your debts repaid in full. After all, he disrespected my imperium, and dared to draw his blade against me. Such a rabid dog cannot be allowed to live, lest he bite the hand that feeds."

DRACO: "However, I am nothing but not fair. I'll give you time to discuss. I hope you make the right decision. After all, any resistance, and I'll bring down the might of 'Sakura Superbia' on you."

It seemed as if you were far enough away at the moment to discuss without being eavesdropped on, though close enough that you could call and speak to DRACO via the 'Endless Whispers' code cast regardless.

Research projects protect national security assets from space weather

Space weather is a double-edged sword: It's capable of delivering majestic phenomena like the auroras near Earth's poles, but it can also have more alarming consequences with significant national security implications.

In 2014, for example, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, discovered that plasma bubbles connected to space weather partly contributed to communications outages during a major battle in the Afghanistan War, during which three Navy SEALs died.

APL researchers continue to work on applications such as atmospheric models and new sensors and instruments not only to aid in discovering anomalies caused by space weather but also to investigate how to keep critical national security assets safe both in space and on the ground.

"Society has such a dependence on space now," said Ben Estacio, an APL researcher who supervises a team that investigates how space systems can work within the space environment. "Most people don't realize how much of their daily lives rely on space."

The sun's Influence

A powerful solar flare or a coronal mass ejection—events where plasma bursts away from the sun into space and possibly toward Earth—can potentially disrupt power grids, affect railroads or harm astronauts operating in space.

But space weather events can also affect national security in various ways, such as disrupting GPS, radio and satellite communications; affecting radar performance and capabilities; and creating drag on satellites, knocking them off course.

For example, in radio communications, space weather can cause ionospheric scintillation, a phenomenon during which subtle changes in the ionosphere alter how radio waves travel. In some scenarios, radio signals sent at the appropriate frequency typically bounce off the ionosphere. When space weather events occur, those signals can bounce in unexpected directions or escape through the ionosphere.

"If you're broadcasting on the ground through a disturbed ionosphere, other spacecraft may receive radio signals you're trying to send securely," said Bob Schaefer, an APL space physicist.

Space weather events can also lead to a loss of assets and could leave national security capabilities vulnerable. "Strong space weather events can adversely affect one system or a combination of systems," said Pat Dandenault, a physicist specializing in space weather research at APL.

"When that happens, other people can take advantage of critical systems and networks. The ability to forecast these dynamics and the potential impacts of space weather phenomena in near-real time is critical."

Assessing space weather's impact

APL experts have developed a myriad of research areas and applications aimed at helping the Laboratory's sponsors better understand how space weather impacts the nation's assets.

Initiated in 2020, the NASA Center for Geospace Storms (CGS) is developing a holistic, predictive space weather simulation that will estimate how space weather events impact Earth. In April, CGS made this model available for simulations upon request through NASA's Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC).

"The availability of these simulations at CCMC marks a significant step forward, empowering the scientific community to work together toward deepening our understanding of how space weather affects the near-Earth environment," said APL's Slava Merkin, director of CGS.

Multiple APL efforts aim to measure and model space physics properties to specify and forecast ionospheric behavior, uncovering when disruptions in the upper atmosphere might happen and monitoring changes in atmospheric satellite drag conditions caused by space weather. These include:

Special Sensor Ultraviolet Spectrographic Imager (SSUSI): A series of APL-built instruments that power more than 20 space-weather-related products in near real-time for the U.S. Space Force to help describe the state of the ionosphere, thermosphere and auroral zone environments

Next-generation Ionosphere Model for Operations (NIMO): A predictive, assimilative model of the ionosphere that can use data from ground GPS receivers, radio occultation from satellites, ionosondes and SSUSI data

OVATION Prime: A predictive model of auroral location, boundaries and energy flux used operationally by the Space Force and NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center

High-Latitude Ionosphere Specification: An ensemble of models that have been combined with data assimilation capabilities to generate detailed, near-real-time ionosphere specifications for use in multiple Department of Defense applications, such as radar systems in the high northern latitudes

Having these resources is especially beneficial to national security sponsors as they troubleshoot and mitigate problems that may impact critical assets, Estacio said. "Understanding if something was done to your spacecraft intentionally or was just the result of natural high-energy particles is a crucial distinction to be able to make."

palisade 22:

it feels like we’re back in partizan.

specifically, in the final arc and finale. inevitability, monochrome, horrific threats and risky plays. a mission underground. a space infiltration. divines scouring the void. (are we back, or did we never leave?)

the new theme music reminds me so much of the partizan finale theme.

the constantly changing gravity inside chimera’s lantern—do we carry it with us?

and then there’s “once the war’s over”.

what i’ve been thinking is, you know, the blue channel has all the narrative power against the stargrave because the stakes are so high that they can justify any sacrifice, which could grant them mechanical power because armor astir facilitates that. and… here we are.

but man am i gonna miss phrygian.

anyway, it adds to the partizan feeling: knowing that someone is going to die, tasting the dream of a happier ending but plunging back into the fight…

(i’ve definitely brought this up before but i am always ALWAYS thinking about the blue channel going back for the pzn finale.)

in other news:

excited for the title drop mostly because it feels like a real arc title—i can think of a dozen relevant ideals that might be proven impossible (/achieved anyway?), in either plot.

my hopes for spaceship bottle horror were so high and this ep did not disappoint. shutting down the systems and gliding silently is excellent sf, as is the heat shields going out. now someone can go out there in a spacesuit and try to fix them >:)

also want to shout out phrygian’s crt monitor & longhand math approach

paramerion is FANTASTIC. love to simply become a sword. love to become a sword specifically to take down your rival in the visage of a dead saint.

pleased to be beyond clocks at this stage. the clock has already ticked; it’s midnight. 

mustard red’s offer… very scary. very interesting. love that the players are being offered the option of getting even more out of this—raising the positive stakes on their side.

hearing each planet in the mirage included in the intro was heartwrenching. also “most people don’t have time to practice dying”/“but that doesn’t mean they aren’t afraid, on palisade”

i bet it was a really weird day for the rose river sleep detachment when they found out about the solar system, maine

really fascinating to listen to this while in the middle of aih 20. weird dungeons! half-understood histories!

it is always an interesting process to write topical fanfiction for a weekly show. (fic. features a take on this mission that nowhere near happened, which i expected, but also you can probably tell where i was hedging my bets re phrygian—i very nearly went this sort of route, where someone would have to die.)

welcome to the end of this world, or, yknow, the fatt midseason finale.

China Radar Uncovers Plasma Bubbles Over Pyramids: Implications for Satellite Safety

Chinese scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery with their newly developed radar system, detecting unusual plasma bubbles over the Egyptian pyramids and Midway Islands. This radar, known as the Low Latitude Long Range Ionospheric Radar (LARID), was inaugurated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences last year and has since revealed a significant phenomenon that could impact satellite communications and GPS systems.

Plasma bubbles—large-scale disruptions in the ionosphere caused by solar activity—were notably observed following a solar storm in November. According to a recent announcement by Chinese researchers on August 27, this detection marks the largest recorded observation of such bubbles, with radar signals extending from North Africa to the Pacific Ocean. The discovery, reported by the South China Morning Post, provides valuable insights into the behavior and distribution of these ionospheric anomalies.

Overview of the LARID System

Positioned on Hainan Island, LARID is capable of detecting plasma bubbles up to 9,600 kilometers away, covering a vast expanse from Hawaii to Libya. Unlike conventional radar systems, LARID employs powerful electromagnetic waves that traverse between the Earth’s surface and the ionosphere, allowing it to monitor phenomena beyond the conventional horizon. Equipped with 48 antennas, LARID features real-time adjustment capabilities and has seen its operational range extended from an initial 3,000 kilometers to 9,600 kilometers due to technological enhancements.

The radar’s ability to detect plasma bubbles is crucial, given their potential to interfere with satellite communications and GPS systems. In response to this, Chinese scientists are advocating for a global network of similar radars in low-latitude regions to enhance worldwide detection capabilities.

Strategic and Technological Repercussions

Beyond its scientific applications, LARID’s advanced radar technology has implications for military and defense strategies. The system’s capability to detect objects such as stealth aircraft suggests that even more sophisticated radar versions may be under development, potentially bolstering China’s defense infrastructure.

This might come off as “broad” but I guess government organizations in your world? I know I've read about a couple of them. Just the roles, how they came to be, who runs them etc

I don't keep firm holds on my governmental organizations unless they're relevant, mostly because that's a lotta politics and a lot of the characters I focus on tend to lie on the outskirts or are antagonists of the government (gee, I wonder why).

So I've mentioned these guys before but; the United Federation of Solar Systems (UFSS) is the big one.

They're run by the uber-powerful uber-sensitive Minders, a collection of like, 100 or so beings. The Federation is essentially the governing body that says "Okay, let's shake hands and stop bullying the other kids on the playground please." in that their two primary goals are:

Preventing interstellar war

Preventing exploitation of lesser advanced civilizations.

In this, they mostly monitor and restrict military buildup and contact with other civilizations, as well as set up residential areas on dead planets. One of it's big quirks is that it's actually really easy to apply for a general UFSS citizenship, and there's a big reason for that. See, at some point, individuals started to be able to make machines that were indistinguishable from real people. If these robots turned out to be fully sentient, capable of pain and scarring, then letting that aspect go unchecked could end up as slavery 2 electric boogaloo, and the Federation didn't want that under their jurisdiction. So they took the easy solution out, and made the ability to apply for a citizenship essentially the act of filling out a moderately long form and arranging for someone to take your picture. That's it. If your roomba's smart enough to apply for its own citizenship, then it's a citizen. We're not arguing over this. It's a citizen and you'll treat it like one. Like all systems, it isn't perfect, and companies keep trying to circumvent this solution so they can have Good Cheap Labor, but it's there and it's got that unique quirk where anyone, part of the Federation, made by someone in the Federation, not part of the Federation, anyone who can apply can become a citizen.

The Federation handles its second issue of preventing colonization of inhabited planets by essentially forcing all economic interactions to be some form of trade. You can't build a mine on a planet not part of the UFSS, even if the other planet's governments are fine with it, but they can and trade the profits with you. There's quite a lot of legal finagling in this aspect, such as minimum exchange rates, what counts as a UFSS entity owning part of another planet, individuals vs corporation interactions, what you can and cannot exchange, how many UFSS people can live on the planet's surface, the nightmare of tourism, etc etc.

Notably, while the Federation bans interstellar colonization, it doesn't ban war between individual Federation entities and non-Federation entities. This is because one of it's oldest members, Crystal Dragons, have been constantly fighting Titatiaraum and his numerous attempts to exterminate their entire race. War in this manner is still heavily restricted: the enemy must be able to demonstrate on some level they are both trying and capable of attacking you and you must minimize damage done to them. It doesn't go well in Titatiaraum's case, the Crystal Dragons end up overstepping their bounds and completely wiping out Titatiaraum's realm and his angels. The choice was contested for a long time, namely because they left the Paragons, the "civilians" alone, and only targeted their angels and gods, which generally play under different rules as they are divine. Eventually the Crystal Dragons would be forced to pay reparations as Titatiaraum's destruction lead to the collapse of the Paragon's home planet and would have doomed them, and eventually the Crystal Dragons left the UFSS.

Working for the Federation is not fun, it's 96% management/enforcement jobs, usually on cold dead planets, dealing with someone else's law firm as to why dumping waste in the asteroid belt of some star isn't legal because they'll mess up the weight balance in that system and cause asteroid strikes on the inhabited planet on that system. It's that kind of thing.

As for others I'll speedrun them as they aren't as detailed:

Threaders have an oligarchy of the most powerful Loomers, and they live in a castle on SS's dead body.

Mins are usually governed by Meds and maybe some Mins, but in the case of L-Mins, it's generally a lot more nebulous and sometimes pretty lawless.

Ourul congregations don't have any overarching structure, instead they have an appointed "interpreter" that dictates the rules on Malxivos's (Mal-skiv-ous) texts, but an interpreter's main job is to check on other congregations and see if they're breaking the code.

Northern Ermista towns are usually run communally by everyone in it.

Ermista Shadow Arcana roles are handed out by this bigass school/university/what-have-you with the council of their oldest members.

Amalgamate Arcana is run by an appointed few who basically manage rotations of their god (who's allow to call them and when). There's other roles and they're all appointed.

The Tank Dragons are an extension of their species's military, and mostly play under military-esc laws.

Cosmolians have a monarchy, their monarchy is also subject to a disease that makes them bleed out every orifice until they die.

Light Dragons/Shadow Dragons are actually run by their gods, which isn't actually all that common. You'd think.

OH. There was this one asshole, Altarion, who was a Spirit in a Min's body, who killed a city's Med and essentially turned it into a theocracy of worshiping him. Kinda funny actually.

The mining ships have a council/council building for their government. Pyro was kicked out of that council for repeatedly bitching about having to "sucker up to the UFSS's rules and their crooked cohorts" and mild conspiracy theories about the UFSS feeling guilty about mismanaging the whole situation.

Optimizing Your Solar System Year-Round

As the Earth tilts and turns, the changing seasons can have a profound effect on the performance of solar power systems. From the height of summer to the depths of winter, a solar panel owner’s strategy must adapt to ensure their system is optimized throughout the year. Let's take a closer look into how each season affects solar output and how you can maximize your system's efficiency, regardless of the weather.

Summer: Sun’s Out, Panels Out

Summer often means longer days and more direct sunlight, which is excellent news for solar energy production. In the United States, the average solar panel efficiency can climb during these months due to increased insolation – a term that refers to the amount of solar radiation reaching a given area. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports that in peak summer, a well-positioned solar panel system can produce twice as much energy as during winter. However, extreme heat can sometimes decrease panel efficiency, a phenomenon known as temperature coefficient, typically resulting in a performance drop of about 0.5% for every 1°C above 25°C.

Fall: Preparing for the Pivot

As fall approaches, the sun’s angle begins to lower, and days get shorter, which can lead to a decrease in solar production. Despite this, cooler temperatures can enhance panel efficiency, slightly offsetting the loss from reduced daylight. It’s essential to prepare for leaf fall during this season, as debris can obstruct panels and impact performance. A National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study suggests that a single leaf on a panel can reduce power output by up to 10%.

Winter: Weathering the Cold

Contrary to what many assume, solar panels don't go dormant in winter. They can still produce significant energy, especially in areas with strong winter sunlight. Snow can even act like a mirror, reflecting light and potentially increasing performance on clear days. The key statistic to watch, however, is daylight hours. For instance, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), regions like the Pacific Northwest see a reduction of about 40% in solar radiation from November through February, affecting potential output.

Spring: A Time for Tune-Ups

Spring is often seen as a time of renewal, and for solar panel systems, it's an ideal period for maintenance to optimize energy capture. As days lengthen, your solar system's production will naturally increase. To fully capitalize on this, ensure your system is free from the winter’s accumulation of dirt and debris. Data from the Department of Energy indicates that a clean solar panel is approximately 21% more efficient than one covered in the season’s grime.

Year-Round Maintenance and Monitoring

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your solar power system at peak performance. It’s advisable to check your system's output against benchmarks provided by your installer or local averages. Most modern systems come with apps or monitoring software, enabling you to track energy production in real-time and notice any significant discrepancies that may indicate an issue.

Utilizing Battery Storage

To truly optimize your system year-round, consider integrating battery storage. This allows you to capture excess energy during peak production times and use it when the sun isn’t shining. For example, Tesla’s Powerwall reports that, when used effectively, battery storage can increase the self-consumption of solar power from 30% to upwards of 70%.

Embracing Energy Efficiency

Lastly, optimizing a solar system isn’t just about maximizing production; it’s also about minimizing consumption. Implementing energy efficiency measures within your home can significantly impact how much solar power you need to meet your energy demands. The EPA suggests that for every kilowatt-hour of solar energy used efficiently, a typical system’s return on investment can improve by 5-10%.

By understanding and adapting to the seasonal shifts in solar production, you can ensure your system is not only effective but also contributes to a sustainable future all year round. Whether you’re dealing with the abundance of summer sun or the scarcity of winter light, these strategies will help you stay powered through every season.

Measuring moon dust to fight air pollution

Moon dust, or regolith, isn't like the particles on Earth that collect on bookshelves or tabletops—it's abrasive and it clings to everything. Throughout NASA's Apollo missions to the moon, regolith posed a challenge to astronauts and valuable space hardware.

During the Apollo 17 mission, astronaut Harrison Schmitt described his reaction to breathing in the dust as "lunar hay fever," experiencing sneezing, watery eyes, and a sore throat. The symptoms went away, but concern for human health is a driving force behind NASA's extensive research into all forms of lunar soil.

The need to manage the dust to protect astronaut health and critical technology is already beneficial on Earth in the fight against air pollution.

Working as a contributor on a habitat for NASA's Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) program, Lunar Outpost Inc. developed an air-quality sensor system to detect and measure the amount of lunar soil in the air that also detects pollutants on Earth.

Originally based in Denver, the Golden, Colorado-based company developed an air-quality sensor called the Space Canary and offered the sensor to Lockheed Martin Space for its NextSTEP lunar orbit habitat prototype. After the device was integrated into the habitat's environmental control system, it provided distinct advantages over traditional equipment.

Rebranded as Canary-S (Solar), the sensor is now meeting a need for low-cost, wireless air-quality and meteorological monitoring on Earth. The self-contained unit, powered by solar energy and a battery, transmits data using cellular technology.

It can measure a variety of pollutants, including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, methane, sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds, among others. The device sends a message up to a secure cloud every minute, where it's routed to either Lunar Outpost's web-based dashboard or a customer's database for viewing and analysis.

The oil and gas industry uses the Canary-S sensors to provide continuous, real-time monitoring of fugitive gas emissions, and the U.S. Forest Service uses them to monitor forest-fire emissions.

"Firefighters have been exhibiting symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning for decades. They thought it was just part of the job," explained Julian Cyrus, chief operating officer of Lunar Outpost. "But the sensors revealed where and when carbon monoxide levels were sky high, making it possible to issue warnings for firefighters to take precautions."

The Canary-S sensors exemplify the life-saving technologies that can come from the collaboration of NASA and industry innovations.
