Pentangle - Reflection

from 1972

This recording is one of my favorites, every note is perfection. This song is a true jam! It blends folk, traditional, and jazz with psychedelic rock sounds in such a beautiful way.

The video is also amazing. The camera angles, and use of double exposure from multiple cameras and overall very artsy and surreal look is just captivating. Sorry to sound cheesy, I just love every aspect of this performance and video.

A little technical nerd enthusiasm about the production. This was captured with TV cameras that very likely used a Vidicon camera tube. (Camera tubes are very similar to their CRT TV counterparts but capture images rather than produce them. I won't get into that detail here) These cameras have a characteristic of darkening bright areas of the image or even creating a black circle around a very bright highlight. This results in a very interesting tonality to the image. This video looks like it was transferred from expensive video tape to film for storage which is where the grain and dust comes from which adds another layer of abstraction. When this was produced, there was no such possibility with video, as there is with film and modern cameras, to record multiple camera feeds at once. So every cross-fade, every double exposure, and every cut, was done live during the performance. Editing video in post wasn't an option. It was possible to record multi-tack audio and mix in post, and add that back to the video, but it was likely mixed live as well. I wish I could get my hands on one of these cameras but they are very large, expensive, and rare in working order.

PDP-8 ASCII Art Photo Booth – David Gesswein - VCF East XVIII

People really liked this one, which hasn't been seen for a few years. This PDP-8/E was setup to take portraits using a vidicon tube camera in black and white, which would then be digitized slowly (as fast as the PDP-8/E can go), line by line vertically. The image is then available either as an ASCII art printout on a large chain drive line printer, or in tricolor separation, which could then be emailed to you after the show. I went for the monochrome portrait printout. The PDP-8/E in question was having some difficulties on the first day, and needed to be debugged at the show before it was ready to run, but once it was running again, it was a hit!

CORDELIA: In a really weird way, you know who I miss? WESLEY: Fred. CORDELIA: Actually I was gonna say her parents. Is that wrong? ANGEL: I don't think so. They were very - nice. CORDELIA: Nice? - They weren't just nice, Angel. They were... GUNN: Parents. WESLEY: They loved her. Supported her. Didn't grind her down into a - tiny self-conscious nub with their constant berating. Their never ending tirade of debasement, and scorn and... (Wes trails off as he notices that all of the others are looking at him, makes as if to say something else, but then just stays silent.) CORDELIA: At least now Fred's got a shot at a normal life. Not that I don't love you guys, and LA, and my work, but - things are just never normal around here. You know?

Il Surveyor 3 fu il terzo lander lunare lanciato dagli Stati Uniti verso la Luna. Il suo scopo era raccogliere informazioni ambientali necessarie per le successive missioni Apollo.

La missione

Il Surveyor 3 fu lanciato il 17 aprile del 1967 alle 07:05:00 UTC tramite il razzo vettore Atlas-Centaur e venne immesso direttamente in una traiettoria di impatto con la Luna. Dopo un volo senza intoppi toccò la superficie della Luna il 20 aprile nel Mare Cognitium. Il suo allunaggio fu, in realtà, molto movimentato perché alcune rocce con un elevato potere riflettente confusero il radar di bordo e il razzo non venne spento all'altezza giusta. Di conseguenza la sonda rimbalzò per ben due volte, raggiungendo i 10 metri di altezza con il primo rimbalzo e 3 metri con il secondo, successivamente toccò terra e si posò.

Il Surveyor 3 fu il primo lander statunitense ad avere a bordo un braccio meccanico che doveva scavare delle trincee nel suolo lunare allo scopo di fotografarlo e studiarne la consistenza e composizione. Tali trincee erano quattro, profonde 18 cm; il suolo prelevato da questi scavi fu portato vicino alla telecamera che inviò a Terra le immagini. Quando giunse la notte lunare, il 3 maggio 1967, la sonda fu spenta per preservare la carica delle batterie; tuttavia, alla successiva alba lunare, dopo 14 giorni terrestri, la sonda non si riattivò più.

Il sito dove rimaneva il Surveyor 3 fu visitato in seguito dagli astronauti dell'Apollo 12, i quali raccolsero alcuni strumenti dalla sonda (fra cui la telecamera) e li riportarono a Terra.

Batteri nella sonda

Prima del lancio la videocamera della sonda fu accidentalmente contaminata dal batterio Streptococcus mitis, il quale sopravvisse sulla Luna per ben 2 anni e mezzo prima che l'equipaggio dell'Apollo 12 smontasse la camera e la riportasse a Terra.[1] La scoperta del batterio infiammò subito i sostenitori della panspermia, ma ebbe come conseguenza solo l'adozione di misure più drastiche da parte della NASA per impedire contaminazioni di altri corpi celesti.

Telecamera

La telecamera, uguale a quella montata nel Surveyor 1, consisteva in un tubo vidicon di 25 e 100 mm di focale montata fissa con un'inclinazione di 16 gradi. Uno specchio, montato vicino all'obiettivo, poteva essere mosso in modo da riprendere la zona d'atterraggio. I comandi venivano inviati dal centro di controllo. Le immagini potevano avere 200 o 600 linee di definizione; le prime furono inviate tramite l'antenna omnidirezionale, mentre le seconde tramite l'antenna direzionata verso la Terra. Il segnale video usato per l'invio a terra era quello utilizzato normalmente dai circuiti televisivi pubblici, non criptato. Furono trasmesse in totale 6 315 immagini tra il 20 aprile e il 3 maggio 1967: tra queste alcune panoramiche, viste della sonda, foto del terreno smosso dalla sonda e una foto effettuata durante una eclissi solare. Furono tutte registrate su nastro magnetico a terra.

Braccio meccanico scavatore

Il braccio scavatore fu progettato per scavare e raschiare il suolo lunare e successivamente portarlo vicino all'obiettivo della telecamera. Il braccio era montato sotto la videocamera e consisteva in una specie di paletta affilata, apribile e richiudibile tramite un motore elettrico, il sistema era simile ad un pantografo e poteva essere esteso per 1,5 m. Fu utilizzato per eseguire quattro trincee e 13 test di impatto, per un tempo totale di lavoro di 18 ore e 22 minuti in 10 sessioni diverse.

Voyager: The Spacecraft

The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the Sun than Pluto.

The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there – such as active volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io and intricacies of Saturn’s rings – the mission was extended. 

Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets. The adventurers’ current mission, the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM), will explore the outermost edge of the Sun’s domain. And beyond.

Spacecraft Instruments

‘BUS’ Housing Electronics

The basic structure of the spacecraft is called the “bus,” which carries the various engineering subsystems and scientific instruments. It is like a large ten-sided box. Each of the ten sides of the bus contains a compartment (a bay) that houses various electronic assemblies.

Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS)

The Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS) looks only for very energetic particles in plasma, and has the highest sensitivity of the three particle detectors on the spacecraft. Very energetic particles can often be found in the intense radiation fields surrounding some planets (like Jupiter). Particles with the highest-known energies come from other stars. The CRS looks for both.

High-Gain Antenna (HGA)

The High-Gain Antenna (HGA) transmits data to Earth on two frequency channels (the downlink). One at about 8.4 gigahertz, is the X-band channel and contains science and engineering data. For comparison, the FM radio band is centered around 100 megahertz.

Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS)

The Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) is a modified version of the slow scan vidicon camera designed that were used in the earlier Mariner flights. The ISS consists of two television-type cameras, each with eight filters in a commandable Filter Wheel mounted in front of the vidicons. One has a low resolution 200 mm wide-angle lens, while the other uses a higher resolution 1500 mm narrow-angle lens.

Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer and Radiometer (IRIS)

The Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer and Radiometer (IRIS) actually acts as three separate instruments. First, it is a very sophisticated thermometer. It can determine the distribution of heat energy a body is emitting, allowing scientists to determine the temperature of that body or substance.

Second, the IRIS is a device that can determine when certain types of elements or compounds are present in an atmosphere or on a surface.

Third, it uses a separate radiometer to measure the total amount of sunlight reflected by a body at ultraviolet, visible and infrared frequencies.

Low-Energy Charged Particles (LECP)

The Low-Energy Charged Particles (LECP) looks for particles of higher energy than the Plasma Science instrument, and it overlaps with the Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS). It has the broadest energy range of the three sets of particle sensors. 

The LECP can be imagined as a piece of wood, with the particles of interest playing the role of the bullets. The faster a bullet moves, the deeper it will penetrate the wood. Thus, the depth of penetration measures the speed of the particles. The number of “bullet holes” over time indicates how many particles there are in various places in the solar wind, and at the various outer planets. The orientation of the wood indicates the direction from which the particles came.

Magnetometer (MAG)

Although the Magnetometer (MAG) can detect some of the effects of the solar wind on the outer planets and moons, its primary job is to measure changes in the Sun’s magnetic field with distance and time, to determine if each of the outer planets has a magnetic field, and how the moons and rings of the outer planets interact with those magnetic fields.

Optical Calibration Target The target plate is a flat rectangle of known color and brightness, fixed to the spacecraft so the instruments on the movable scan platform (cameras, infrared instrument, etc.) can point to a predictable target for calibration purposes.

Photopolarimeter Subsystem (PPS)

The Photopolarimeter Subsystem (PPS) uses a 0.2 m telescope fitted with filters and polarization analyzers. The experiment is designed to determine the physical properties of particulate matter in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn and the rings of Saturn by measuring the intensity and linear polarization of scattered sunlight at eight wavelengths. 

The experiment also provided information on the texture and probable composition of the surfaces of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn.

Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) and Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS)

Two separate experiments, The Plasma Wave Subsystem and the Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment, share the two long antennas which stretch at right-angles to one another, forming a “V”.

Plasma Science (PLS)

The Plasma Science (PLS) instrument looks for the lowest-energy particles in plasma. It also has the ability to look for particles moving at particular speeds and, to a limited extent, to determine the direction from which they come. 

The Plasma Subsystem studies the properties of very hot ionized gases that exist in interplanetary regions. One plasma detector points in the direction of the Earth and the other points at a right angle to the first.

Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG)

Three RTG units, electrically parallel-connected, are the central power sources for the mission module. The RTGs are mounted in tandem (end-to-end) on a deployable boom. The heat source radioisotopic fuel is Plutonium-238 in the form of the oxide Pu02. In the isotopic decay process, alpha particles are released which bombard the inner surface of the container. The energy released is converted to heat and is the source of heat to the thermoelectric converter.

Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS)

The Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) is a very specialized type of light meter that is sensitive to ultraviolet light. It determines when certain atoms or ions are present, or when certain physical processes are going on. 

The instrument looks for specific colors of ultraviolet light that certain elements and compounds are known to emit.
