UAE Hope Mars orbiter; The Arab world's first interplanetary mission

 The Hope Mars Mission, also called the Emirates Mars Mission, is the first un crewed interplanetary satellite spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). In fact, the Hope satellite is the first planetary science mission led by an Arab-Islamic country.

The UAE purposely selected lofty goals for the project, which was designed in part to mark the country's 50th anniversary. The Hope spacecraft launched successfully on July 19, 2020 aboard a Japanese rocket and arrived successfully in orbit around Mars on Feb 9, 2021

At launch, the Hope satellite had a total mass including fuel of 3,300 lbs. (1,500 kilograms) according to NASA. And at about 7.78" feet (2.37 meters) wide and 9.51" feet (2.90 m) tall, the probe is about the size and weight of a small car. Four to six 120 newton Delta V thrusters will propel the spacecraft using hydra-zine, and inorganic and highly volatile chemical. 

After seven months of space travel, the probe reached orbit around Mars in February 2021. Once its science work begins, the spacecraft will study the Red Planet for a full Martian year (687 Earth days or about two years). If things go well, the mission may receive a two-year extension that would take the spacecraft into 2025

Hope will collect the scientific data using three state of the art technologies mounted on the satellite

The Emirates Exploration Imager (EXI); This multi band camera will take 12 megapixel images at a spatial resolution of less than 5 miles (8 kilometres). The camera will be able to image the Martian atmosphere in three visible bands and three ultraviolet bands, all of which will help the mission to measure dust, water ice and ozone abundance in the atmosphere.

The Emirates Mars Infrared Spectrometer (EMIRS); In collaboration with Arizona State University, the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center designed EMIRS to measure the dust, ice clouds, water vapor and temperature profile of the Martian atmosphere.

The Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer (EMUS); This spectrometer will measure changes in the thermosphere the structure of the hydrogen and oxygen exospheres around the planet; and the ultraviolet emissions of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. It will also track changes in the exosphere by season solar inputs and winds driven by the lower atmosphere

Built in collaboration with the University of Colorado Boulder, University of California, Berkeley, and Arizona State University, the Hope spacecraft is in many ways a state of the art weather satellite. It will help answer some outstanding questions about Mars climate and atmosphere. The satellite mission has four primary objectives

Search for the connection between current Martian weather and the ancient climate of Mars. Substantial geophysical evidence suggests that Mars was once a much warmer and more humid world, with substantial liquid water on its surface. Those past conditions may have been optimal for some form of life to evolve.

Study the mechanisms that have driven oxygen and hydrogen out of Mars' atmosphere. Loss of the Martian atmosphere is believed to be the root cause behind Mars becoming a cold desert in which water can exist only as either vapor or ice. Understanding what is driving (and may have driven) away these crucial parts of the atmosphere could help researchers understand how the Martian atmosphere has evolved over time and potentially how life on Mars could have been lost.

Study the connections between the lower and upper atmospheres of Mars.

Create a global picture of how the Martian atmosphere varies throughout the day, season and year. Current available data provides temperature and climate information for only a small stretch of time on Mars. If successful, the data collected by the Hope satellite will provide the first holistic view of the Martian climate every day of the year for multiple year

Hope launched from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center on a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries H - IIA rocket on July 19, 2020, after several days due to weather. The spacecraft successfully separated from the rocket about an hour after liftoff. 

In the course of its seven month, 300 million mile (480 million km) voyage, Hope accomplished several planned course corrections using its Delta-V thrusters. Because those operations went better than expected, the craft also collected some bonus data along the way, inspecting hydrogen near Mars as well as examining interplanetary dust. 

On Feb. 9, 2021, Hope performed a 27 minute thruster burn to slow down enough to enter orbit around Mars. During the burn, mission personnel on the ground could only wait and hope that their work paid off 

With the successful orbit insertion, the UAE became the fifth entity to reach Mars, joining NASA, the Soviet Union, the European Space Agency and India. China joined that group one day after the UAE with the Mars orbit insertion of its Tianwen -1 mission.

While the probe is gathering science observations, it will orbit over the planet near its equator once every 55 hours.

When Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president of the United Arab Emirates, announced in July 2014 that the UAE would send a satellite to Mars, he said that the launch date would be in July 2020, only six years from his announcement. That timing coincides with the alignment of Earth and Mars, which occurs once every two years. It also meant the spacecraft would reach Mars in 2021, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates' formation

Hope is one aspect of the Emirati government's push for space development. The government also established a program meant to drive toward building a habitable settlement on Mars by 2117. And in September 2019, the United Arab Emirates sent its first Emirati astronaut into space. Hazzaa Ali Almansoori, a former pilot, spent eight days on the International Space Station, where he performed a series of experiments and gave a tour of the station in Arabic.

But the United Arab Emirates Space Agency the government agency tasked with developing and regulating a world-class space sector for the United Arab Emirates was established only in 2014, the same year that the Al- Amal (Arabic for "hope") mission was announced. And it wasn't until April 2015 that Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, established the Mohammad Bin Rashid Space Center, where the Hope satellite would actually be built. 

We chose the epic challenge of reaching Mars because epic challenges inspire and motivate us, Mohammed bin Rashid said in the 2014 statement. The moment we stop taking on such challenges is the moment we stop moving forward

The Emirates called the satellite "Hope" because its manufacture and scientific data would hopefully provide value for the future in two major ways: helping scientists understand how atmospheres evolve over time and helping to modernize the Arab world.

Understanding how factors such as sunlight, dust and temperature affect the entire Martian atmosphere each day and throughout the seasons could also illuminate details about the atmosphere around the Earth and even planets around other solar systems, called exoplanets, according to the mission’s scientific goals. Scientists could also use the information to model the future of Earth's atmosphere, such as how it may evolve under the forces of climate change.

The Emirati government has also said that it sees this satellite as a way to bring the Arab world back to the forefront of science and astronomy a position the region hasn't held since the Islamic Golden Age, from the ninth century to the 13th century.

During that time, the Muslim world was the stronghold of knowledge in philosophy, math, astronomy and medicine. The Arabs made pioneering strides in algebra and trigonometry and further developed astronomical tools such as sundials. But since the end of its halcyon days, the Arab world has statistically made little contribution to science, according to a review in The New Atlantis.

The Hope satellite is an attempt to help change that. 

This is the Arab world's version of President John F. Kennedy's moonshot  it's a vision for the future that can engage and excite a new generation of Emirati and Arab youth, said Yousef al Otaiba, the UAE's ambassador to the United States, during the UAE Embassy's National Day celebration in 2015, The National reported. 

The Emirati government invested over $5.5 billion into space-exploration efforts, according to The National. And as the first-ever Arab-Islamic mission to another planet using a satellite built entirely by a Muslim nation, Hope is expected to help catalyze the development of a new generation of Arab scientists and engineers. They, in turn, will help shift the country's economic system away from the oil industry and prepare it for a world that depends less on oil, Sarah Amiri, the mission's science lead, told Scientific American in 2016. 

As of July 2019, more than 70 Emirati scientists and engineers, almost all under age 35, were working on the mission. That number was expected to grow to 150 by 2020, according to Smithsonian.com. After the Mars arrival of the probe, Gulg News emphasized the youth of the engineering team and the relative youth of the UAE.

MG Pakistan "Angered"by Delayed Car Deliveries in Pakistan

 

MG Pakistan has finally issued a public response to address delays in delivery and transport of vehicles that have been irking its local customers.

The notice detailed that considerable efforts have been made in bringing the vehicles to Pakistan but the deliveries have been delayed once again owing to certain issues on a global scale that has made MG itself “angry”. It highlighted several reasons behind the delays and affirmed that it will take counter-measures to facilitate its customers.

The statement added that the bookings of new vehicles have been suspended indefinitely as the global chip shortage and port congestions have obstructed the supply of vehicles.

MG further clarified that 1300 units of the HS and 400 units of the ZS SUVs have already arrived and are being delivered to the customers across Pakistan, and over 1500 MG vehicles have already been delivered across Pakistan.

As per the statement, although the ZS SUV will be delivered by the committed dates and times, the HS vehicles will be delivered to those who had made bookings prior to 19 March 2021 on a first-come-first-serve basis, albeit with a delay of two to three months in the committed delivery date.

It also added that MG is taking bookings of the HS SUV from a limited number of financing customers.

MG’s response to the issue has reportedly received positive feedback from the public that is used to not getting clarity or responses from the automakers. Therefore, MG’s decision to clarify the issues at hand with its patrons and customers is likely to add to its appeal greatly, especially from a public relations perspective.

"Mars Rat" Taking Internet by Storm

 A Mars rock that bears a passing resemblance to a rodent is scuttling across the Internet with gusto even inspiring some fans to set up a Twitter account in its name.

UFO buffs spotted the purported (Mars rat) in a panoramic photo snapped in September 2012 by NASA's Curiosity rover. Zooming in on a portion of the image reveals what appears to be a rodent crouching between two rocks, its nose to the ground.

It's a cute rodent on Mars. Note its lighter color upper and lower eyelids its nose and cheek areas, its ear, its front leg and stomach, Scott Waring wrote at UFO sightings daily back in December. Looks similar to a squirrel camouflaged in the stones and sand by its colors.

In an update to that post, Waring raised the possibility that NASA flew the rat/squirrel to Mars secretly, as part of an experiment testing out the Red Planet's ability to support life as we know it.

Why would they not tell us about it? Waring wrote. Because the squirrel would be expected to die eventually and that would get PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) to fight against them in a court of law.

The Mars rat has now gone viral jumping from the pages of UFO Sightings Daily to more mainstream publications such as Discovery News, Fox News and a host of other outlets (including of course SPACE.com).

The rodent has even picked up its own Twitter account, @ RealMarsRat. Just 49 people were following the rat as of Friday afternoon (May 31), but that's still pretty good for a rodent.

While some people seem to really believe that a squirrel is crawling around on the Red Planet or was in September, anyway, the Mars rodent is actually an example of a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia.

Pareidolia refers to the tendency of the human brain to perceive animals or other familiar shapes in vague or random images. The phenomenon has fueled a great deal of excited speculation about the Red Planet over the years, most famously after some people saw a humanoid face on Mars in photos taken by NASA's Viking 1 orbiter in 1976.

And just this March UFO Sightings Daily reported that an apparent animal perhaps a rat or a lizard, lurked in another one of Curiosity's photos.

It's highly unlikely that a rat, squirrel, lizard or any other organism could survive on the cold dry Martian surface today researchers say, though some scientists think the Red Planet may still be able to support microbial life in select underground pockets.

Things were likely different in Mars' wetter and warmer past however. Curiosity's observations led mission scientists to announce earlier this year that microbes could have survived on the Red Planet billions of years ago.

The youngest exoplanet found by the Hubble telescope is the size of Jupiter

The Hubble Space Telescope has peered out into the cosmos and spotted its youngest exoplanet yet a giant world 379 light years from Earth that is still growing.

Planets form as dust and gas, swirling around in a circumstellar disk surrounding their star, collides and condenses to slowly become a ball. Far out in the constellation Centaurus, Hubble has spotted a planet still coming together. The young gas giant exoplanet, designated PDS 70b, is just 5 million years old Hubble scientists said. While the planet is still gathering mass, pulling it from the young star it orbits, it's already huge roughly the size of Jupiter. 

In a new study scientists took advantage of this unique opportunity to study a planet in its formative years like PDS 70b with Hubble's telescope eye. .

This system is so exciting because we can witness the formation of a planet, co-author Yifan Zhou, also of the University of Texas at Austin, said in a statement. This is the youngest bona fide planet Hubble has ever directly imaged.

The researchers were able to utilize Hubble's ultraviolet light sensitivity which allows them to spot and measure radiation from the hot gas that falls into forming planets, the researchers directly measured the mass growth rate of PDS 70b. 

Hubble's observations allowed us to estimate how fast the planet is gaining mass Zhou said. This is the first time researchers have been able to measure the planet's mass growth rate. 

They also were able to directly image the planet and found that it seems to be coming to the end of its formation process. 

Additionally, the team saw a number of hot spots glowing in ultraviolet light which Hubble is attuned to detect. These hot spots, the researchers think, are caused by hot material that extends down to the planet's surface from magnetic field lines that stretch from the planet's atmosphere to its star's circumstellar disk. 

If this material follows columns from the disk onto the planet, it would cause local hot spots," Zhou said. These hot spots could be at least 10 times hotter than the temperature of the planet.

While Hubble has spotted over 4,000 exoplanets thus far, on about 15 have been directly imaged, according to the statement. Additionally, most of those 15 exoplanets have looked like dots in photos, as they are so far away and small. 

We just don’t know very much about how giant planets grow, study author Brendan Bowler of the University of Texas at Austin, said in the same statement. This planetary system gives us the first opportunity to witness material falling onto a planet. Our results open up a new area for this research.

These observations of PDS 70b aren't a complete picture of the exoplanet, researchers acknowledged in their statement. Additional data is needed to confirm the mass growth rate and explore the planet further. Studying PDS 70b in more detail can help shed light on how similar gas giant planets form. 

While studying PDS 70b researchers used a new technique that they think paves a new route for further exoplanet research, especially during a planet's formative years, according to the statement. In this technique, Zhou removed the glare coming from the star in the PDS 70b system. 

Stellar glare can be a challenge for scientists studying far off objects like this exoplanet, and researchers often have trouble studying exoplanets that are close to their host stars. So by removing the glare the team got a better look at the planet and they paved the way for future researchers to study planets that are closer to their host stars. 

Thirty one years after launch, we are still finding new ways to use Hubble Bowler added.With future observations, we could potentially discover when the majority of the gas and dust falls onto their planets and if it does so at a constant rate.

Is there anything beyond the universe?

Paul M. Sutter is an astrophysicist at SUNY Stony Brook and the Flatiron Institute, host of Ask a Spaceman and Space Radio, and author of How to Die in Space.

It's one of the most compelling questions you could possibly ask, one that humanity has been asking since basically the beginning of time What's beyond the known limits? What's past the edge of our maps? The ultimate version of this question is, what lies outside the boundary of the universe? The answer is well it is complicated. 

To answer the question of what's outside the universe, we first need to define exactly what we mean by universe. If you take it to mean literally all the things that could possibly exist in all of space and time, then there can't be anything outside the universe. Even if you imagine the universe to have some finite size, and you imagine something outside that volume, then whatever is outside also has to be included in the universe.

Even if the universe is a formless, shapeless, nameless void of absolutely nothing, that's still a thing and is counted on the list of "all the things and, hence is by definition, a part of the universe.

If the universe is infinite in size, you don't really need to worry about this conundrum. The universe, being all there is, is infinitely big and has no edge so there's no outside to even talk about.

Oh, sure, there's an outside to our observable patch of the universe. The cosmos is only so old, and light only travels so fast. So, in the history of the universe, we haven't received light from every single galaxy. The current width of the observable universe is about 90 billion light-years. And presumably beyond that boundary there's a bunch of other random stars and galaxies.

But past that? It's hard to tell.

 

Mars helicopter photographs Mars rover

 

The American space agency's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has photographed the Perseverance rover.

The one tonne robot which acts as the drone's radio base-station, is seen nestled in the upper left corner of a newly released image.

The picture was acquired by Ingenuity during its third demonstration flight on Sunday.

At the time, the mini-helicopter was about 85m from the rover and flying laterally at an altitude of 5m.

Sunday's sortie was the most ambitious yet for for Ingenuity and saw it travel 100m over the course of 80 seconds.

Nasa says the drone's next two flights to be conducted in the coming days, will be its last and will push the chopper technology very hard in terms of speed and distance travelled.

Engineers want to find the Ingenuity's limits even if that means crashing it in the process.

The major difficulty in flying on the Red Planet is the very thin atmosphere which has just 1% of the density here at Earth.

This gives the rotor blades on a rotorcraft very little to bite into to produce lift. There's help from the lower gravity at Mars but still it takes a lot of work to get up off the ground.

The Nasa chopper was therefore made extremely light and given the power to turn those blades super-fast at over 2500 revolutions per minute.

Ingenuity was carried to Mars by the Perseverance rover which landed in Jezero Crater in mid February.

As well as acting as a base station for the chopper the six wheeled robot has been taking stills and movies to document the demonstration flights. Soon, however Perseverance must abandon the helicopter to begin its primary mission of searching for signs of life on the Red Planet.

Researchers Solve a 350-Year-Old Puzzle and Discover a New Rule of Nature

 

Researchers have solved the missing piece of a 350 year old puzzle of how the pointed body parts of many animals grow to form their shape including teeth, horns, claws, beaks, animal shells, and even the thorns and prickles of plants.

An interdisciplinary team at Monash University discovered a new universal rule of biological growth that explains surprising similarities in the shapes of sharp structures across the tree of life, including teeth, horns, claws, beaks, animal shells, and even the thorns and prickles of plants.

Animals and plants often grow in specific patterns like logarithmic spirals following the golden ratio. There are very simple processes that generate these patterns a logarithmic spiral is produced when one side of a structure grows faster than another at a constant ratio. We can call these ‘rules of growth and they help us understand why organisms are certain shapes.

In the new study published recently in BMC Biology the research team demonstrates a new rule called the power cascade based on how the shape cascades down a tooth following a power law.

When an elephant tusk grows longer, it grows wider at a very specific rate following a power law a mathematical pattern where there is a straight-line relationship between the logarithm of the tooth’s width and length. Power laws are found throughout nature, such as in the magnitudes of earthquakes the sizes of cities and the movement of the stock market.

This pattern applies across many animals, in the teeth of giant sharks, Tyrannosaurus rex, mammoths, and even humans. Remarkably, this power law works for claws, hooves, horns, spider fangs, snail shells, antlers, and the beaks of mammals, birds, and dinosaurs. Beyond animals, the team also observed it in the thorns of the rose bush and lemon tree.

Associate Professor Alistair Evans in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University led the research team.

The diversity of animals, and even plants, that follow this rule is staggering Associate Professor Evans said.

We were quite shocked that we found it almost everywhere we looked across the kingdoms of life in living animals and those extinct for millions of years.

The new pattern expands on the ideas of the polymath anatomist, physicist and mathematician Sir Christopher Wren, the designer of London’s St Paul’s Cathedral. In 1659, Wren suggested that a snail shell could be a cone twisted to be a logarithmic spiral. The new study shows that shells and other shapes such as teeth and horns are in fact the power cascade shape (called a power cone).

This new rule is the missing piece of a 350 year old puzzle of how animals and their parts grow Associate Professor Evans said.

Because so many structures follow this growth pattern we can use it to predict the likely pattern of evolution. Whenever animals evolve teeth, horns, or claws it seems most likely that they will be this shape. It even allows us to predict what mythical animals would look like if they follow the same patterns of nature.

Pakistan to reduce inbound international flights by 80%

 

The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) announced on Saturday that inbound international flights to Pakistan will be reduced to 20% from May 5 to May 20 amid prevailing global and regional disease Covid-19 trends.

According to a notification issued by the NCOC there would be no change in existing Catagory C list countries.

Pakistani passport holders (stranded / short term visa) are allowed to travel to Pakistan subject to exemption by the committee as per procedures in vogue the communique stated

The NCOC further listed testing and quarantine protocols for inbound flights to Pakistan which require a mandatory negative RT PCR test conducted a maximum of 72 hours before travelling to Pakistan.

There would be also a requirement of Rapid Antigen Testing on arrival at airports in the country whereas negative cases would undergo 10 days of self quarantine at home with stringent TTO protocols.

Positive cases will be shifted by Provincial/ District Administration to the self-paid facility for 10 days quarantine with TTO of contacts (if any) the NCOC added.

RT PCR test will be conducted on the 8th day of the quarantine period. In case of a negative result the passenger will be allowed to proceed home. However, in case of a positive result the passenger will either undergo an additional quarantine period or will be shifted to hospital as per the advice of health authorities.

The NCOC would review the travel restrictions on May 18. It was not immediately clear which routes and air carriers would be affected.

The NCOC has also banned processions on the occasion of Youm e Ali. Majalis would be permitted but with strict adherence to Covid 19 SOPs.

This decision was taken in order to minimize the risk factor due to the ongoing surge of Covid 19, especially in major urban centres of the country.

NCOC head Asad Umar emphasised the need to engage religious scholars and community leaders at both provincial and district levels for the implementation of SOPs.

Pakistan has seen record deaths in recent days from the coronavirus, and stricter restrictions on movement and gathering in public are planned for the upcoming Eid holiday.

Officials are worried the country's health care system, already under strain, could reach breaking point if more contagious variants of the virus begin to spread as has happened in neighbouring India.

On Saturday authorities reported 4,696 new confirmed COVID 19 cases in the past 24 hours and 146 deaths from the disease.

Proton X70 CBUs to Arrive in Pakistan Next Month

 

In a piece of rather promising news especially for the Proton customers the Proton X70 is set to hit the shores of Pakistan soon. The news has been announced by Hanif Memon who added that more than 200 CBU of the vehicle are en route to Pakistan from Malaysia and will arrive next month

In a brief recap the X70 is Proton’s compact crossover SUV that was launched at the end of 2020. The SUV competes against DFSK Glory 580, Hyundai Tucson, KIA Sportage , and MG HS. The X70 is available in Pakistan in two variants, i.e the base Executive variant and the finer Premium variant.

Both variants are powered by a 1.5 liter, turbocharged, 3 cylinder petrol engine jointly developed by Volvo and Geely that makes 176 hp and 255 Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7 speed DCT automatic transmission. In the executive variant the power is sent to all four wheels while in the premium variant it is sent to the front wheels only.

Along with the good looks and strong performance figures, the vehicle boasts several advanced safety and convenience features including, Six Airbags N95 Rated Air Purifier System, ABS Brakes, Electronic Brake force Distribution EBD, Brake Assist, Hill-Start Assist, Hill-Descent Control, Electronic Stability Program ESP, Traction Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), 360-degree Cameras, and an Advanced Drive Assist (ADA) Package that can be had in the premium variant.

The CBU versions of both variants of the SUV cost Rs. 4.89 million and Rs. 5.39 million. However the CKD versions cost even lesser, at Rs. 4.69 million and Rs. 4.99 million. However despite the great features and competitive price, the X70 has not quite caught on.

The main reason for that is the delay in the transportation of Proton consignments from Malaysia due to the hurdles created by the pandemic. However, reports suggest that once the CBU arrive and the local production begins, the SUV will certainly make its presence known in the market.
