On Monday there was a lecture at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore by William D. Phillips, Nobel Laureate called “Time, Einstein and the Coolest Stuff in the Universe”. It was the Vainu Bappu Memorial Lecture, with a huge crowd, a packed auditorium. Why I’m writing about it is that it was like a good […]
I went back to the Mullard Space Science Lab one year after doing the Satellite Stories event there.
I wanted to find out what people remembered from it and if anything had changed. I’d thought that the sunset to darkness walk round the grounds with the scientists and engineers telling their stories, would be a […]

Cosmo-Skymed orbit at 90 degrees from each other. Four, as a constellation, polar orbiting, in a square, a cross, like target hairs, like a windmill. Sometimes they can be brought together as two pairs of satellites, 150 kilometers apart, at 20 degrees from each other and maybe this is to do with them becoming eyes, […]
