Rosetta has crashed on comet 67P. What was the mission? – NOS

Rosetta is working on solar energy and gets further and further away from the sun. A longer stay in the space. The ESA has opted for a crash on the comet so that Rosetta during the crash is still valuable information can be collected and forward. “These are mainly photos, close-ups of the comet. They will be able to greatly going to zoom in, you would a pebble on can see them.”

But then will Rosetta for always silent.

“It is a mission which would have been more questions generated than answers,” says Ellerbroek. “We always thought that comets are a kind of dirty snowballs were: a combination of snow, sand and ice. But this comet turns out to be a kiezelhoop, with little ice.” The composition of the water on the comet also differs from the composition here on earth.

Space mission Rosetta ends after crash probe on comet 67P – NU.nl

on a collision course lying spacecraft sent until just before the planned crash yet detailed photographs of the comet to the earth. Space agency lost, as expected, the contact with Rosetta at the time that the probe is the surface of 67P hit. That happened around 13: 20 hours Dutch time.

Rosetta came after more than 6 billion kilometres to fly, ten years after the departure from earth, in August 2014 at the place of destination. Three months later, it put a landingstoestel, called Philae, on the comet. That was a unique achievement, but the landing did not go well.

The Philae bounced and came to a different place than the one intended. He stood in the shadow. Therefore, change the connection and after more than two days fell the contact way. Since then there has been for a while but again had contact.

Philae sent his information by using the probe to earth. In July of this year, ESA Philae permanently. The energy of the komeetlander was on. The explorer had been months nothing more make themselves heard. An earlier wanhoopspoging to the lander ‘to shake up’ has failed.

Discoveries

Nevertheless, brought the mission of important discoveries. So, scientists found crucial building blocks that make life on earth possible. Also discovered Rosetta oxygen molecules in a gas cloud that the comet came.

in Addition, water vapor, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and various nitrogen-, sulfur -, and carbon compounds found on 67P.

at the Beginning of this month it appeared from information collected by Rosetta that clumps of dust form the basis of comets and planets. Existing theories say that small particles merge together and, ultimately, to the planets, and comets, were confirmed.

Not eternal

At the beginning of the Rosetta mission, it was clear that the kometenjager not eternal data could continue forward. The spacecraft turned around the comet and took more and more away from the sun. The solar panels provided thus less energy for the transfer of data.

In 2014, considering the ESA for Rosetta in a state of hibernation. The spacecraft would be about five years, namely closer to the sun, and would in theory measurements can be carried out. But the chance was great that the equipment on board by that time will no longer work due to the large temperature swings and radiation in space.

The ESA has therefore decided to Rosetta checked to have them crash.

Spacecraft Rosetta ends eventful mission with crash – breaking News

Rosetta, the spacecraft that for the first time a comet researched, started on his last journey. About a few hours of crashes Rosetta on the comet where he since 2014 research did.

Rosetta is not just a spacecraft. Hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, followed the operations of Rosetta, and his ‘little brother’ of Philae, the komeetlander on the foot. And that was not only because the scientific a frontier project.

Rosetta, in 2004, launched towards a comet with the name 67P/Tsjoerjoemov-Gerasimenko. There he was in 2014 and sent when a small lander named Philae towards the comet. That had to include soil investigations and the results thereof doorseinen to Rosetta, which they then again towards the earth, was able to send.

That did not work very well. Philae landed on the comet, but bounced back up and ended up somewhere in the shade. The solar panels could be the battery not charging and Philae was only a short life. On Twitter lived thousands of people went along with whatever the last message seemed to be from the lander. The so-called communication between Rosetta and Philae spent people actually in turmoil.

Later turned out to have not lost everything. When the comet, a year later, nearer to the sun, got High again a short time, enough sunlight for its batteries can recharge and be back to work. Meanwhile, Rosetta is in search of his little brother. At the beginning of this month, at the very end, Philae found. He appeared in a cave to go to.

It seems like it had to be so. Shortly after Rosetta Philae has found, he plunges to death on the same comet. Around half past two this afternoon (Dutch time) Rosetta crash.

Even the underworld has its internet economy – The Time

Technology not only makes your life easier, also that of criminals. A new report from Europol offers a worrisome anthology.

Pay to do it with the smartphone, a movie we choose in the cloud and catch up with the friends we do through Facebook or WhatsApp. Nothing but advantages in the digital world. But there is a downside. Criminals use the same technology for faster, more efficient and cheaper to operate. In his report, ” the Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment', the European police office Europol, the trends in card.

Social engineering

The human factor remains the weakest link in the protection against cyber criminals. With social engineering, the online manipulation of victims, criminals useful abuse of the human psychology.

Several European countries report a significant increase of CEO fraud. Senior managers in a company to get an email or a chat message that seems to come from their CEO (or the CEO of a friends company). In the message, for example, asked to quickly make a payment to perform or confidential information. The hackers are preparing for by information search about the company and its strategy, and by the typical 'managementspeak'. Such fraud caused each year miljardenverliezen, says Europol.

Not only ceos, are the victim of manipulation. Authors of child pornography try online to win the confidence of their victims, to sexual photos or videos in your hands. Once that is successful, threaten them the images to spread, and blackmail them as the victim to be even more material in your hands. It explains why more and more child pornography consists of images that the victims themselves have taken. The growing phenomenon of sexting in which teenagers sexually suggestive images via chatapps – there is also not alien to it.

Live child abuse

The distribution and consumption of child pornography (or other illicit content) is due to streaming a lot easier. Europol suspects that video-on-demand co-responsible for increasing online offer of child pornography. Also disturbing is the growing practice of live streaming of child abuse, where a provider and a customer in advance on a time for the broadcast to agree. Because the images will be broadcast live, it is very difficult for them to detect and block.

Anonymous and secure

Perhaps the biggest frustration of the police and the judiciary: the internet offers more than ever the possibilities for obscure things in total anonymity to act. To communicate with each other using terrorists and gangsters encrypted chat services. Their were offer them on forums and websites on the darknet, the underground internet that you completely anonymous can explore with special browsers such as Tor. You can pay with a range of so-called cryptomunten such as bitcoin.

There is the fact that the trade in criminal services more and more standardized and automated. Just like with Amazon online storage space, can buy, you can via underground cloud services computing power to buy, for example, on a large scale, a server, and a site plat, or a programmer to hire to be malicious software – malware – on size to develop.

Mobile crime

The time that tablets and smartphones are still not established to the attention of the criminals to pull over. In 14 countries, all studies of malware on smartphones. It can go to ransomware, that the phone locks up until you ransom have been paid, or spyware to enter your bank account details to scam.

Also contactless payments with the smartphone threat of new fraud risk with. There are already known cases of mobile payments that were linked to stolen kredietkaartdata.

Techgiganten consult on responsible artificial intelligence – It

In an attempt warnings of experts like Stephen Hawking to meet, have the world’s largest technology companies decided to work together on a plan by which artificial intelligence is as safe as possible should be developed. The companies Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft have decided to collaborate in the Partnership on AI.

The Partnership on AI is intended as a place to carry out research and new progress to discuss. The group is opening a formal structure, so that there is high-level consultations can be. At the same time keep the teams of the different companies that participate or simply compete with each other. The intention is therefore primarily to look at the potential consequences of artificial intelligence.

financing of Partnership on AI is provided by the free founding members, but in the future, other companies will have to become members and contribute to deliver. the "We want the people who are affected by artificial intelligence is also in the process to involve", specifies Mustafa Suleyman, co-founder of DeepMind, a project of the Alphabet.

There are a number of important techniekreuzen in the organisation, including Apple and Intel. From the announcement of Partnership on AI show that the expectation is that these companies will soon join them. The intention is further to a common standard, which can be talk about the implications of artificial intelligence.

The singularity, where computers self-conscious, is, according to experts, is still far in the future. However, there is already alerted to the possible threat here. If the founders of the Partnership is, should those warnings be taken seriously and it is of interest here is an open dialogue about to enter.

It is now the question if this is enough for critics like Hawking and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who believe that artificial intelligence is the survival of the human race can threaten. At the same time believe the companies that are currently in the development of the technology to work, that artificial intelligence can help to address issues such as climate change and food shortages to cope with.

Old-fashioned linear tv viewing on the retreat – Radio.NL

Dutch continued to spend at least 38 percent of their daily viewing time on old-fashioned linear tv viewing. The rest of the daily serving of viewing time goes to watching tv content that was previously included, to watching online streaming video on sites like YouTube and social media, the online be – or look at tv-programs and through Video-on-Demand (VoD) services.

this is apparent from the most recent Dutch Consumer Video Behaviour-report by Telecompaper.

the Average spend of a Dutch consumer is 287 minutes per day watching video content, or almost five hours. Less and less of this time goes on to the traditional (live or linear) watching tv: 110 minutes (almost two hours.

Los viewed remains linear tv-watching is still the most popular way to watch films, series and programmes to watch, though the share in half a year to 2 percent plunge. Now it is 38 percent.

The increase in the number of households that subscribe to a pluspakket or video service according to the market researcher in the last two quarters was less strong. It is now just slightly more than a quarter.

Netflix
Netflix, the popular Video-on-Demand service, continues to be above average to grow. In Q2 of 2016 had almost 22 percent of the households have subscribed to this sVoD service. In the first quarter of 2016, this is still below 20 percent. In the fourth quarter of 2015 there were a total of 1.3 million Dutch households with a Netflix subscription, as against 1.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2016. Especially in households with children is Netflix popular.

Smart tv
In more and more households is a smart tv. In the second quarter of 2016 was as a tv with internet access in almost half of the households. As more and more televisions are connected to the internet, more and more households have access to the OTT-video services such as Netflix, Videoland, Pathé at Home and NLziet (of the public and commercial broadcasters).

Tv in the living room is the most popular
The tv in the living room of all the devices on which video content is considered to be by far the most popular, even for the viewing of online content. Video on demand is, after the tv in the living room, mostly on the laptop viewed.

No tv subscription
In the Netherlands has just 3 percent of households, according to the semi-annual report no tv subscription, this percentage has remained relatively stable in recent quarters. This group of households has a more than average subscription to Netflix. Also, Videoland Unlimited, Nlziet and Play of KPN (online linear tv) are more popular among this small group. T-Mobile offers with Knippr a Play similar service. The percentage of households without a tv subscription, but with a Videoland Unlimited subscription was in Q2 2015 is still 6 percent. In the second quarter of this year, that was more than doubled, to over 14 percent. [Radio.NL]

Scientists implanting blood vessels in lambs – NU.nl

the animals were a part of their pulmonary artery is replaced by a laboratory-created blood vessel in the body continued to grow.

The technique can in the future lead to new ways to help children with heart defects to treat.

That report American researchers in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Sheep

scientists created the kunstbloedvaten with the help of skin cells of sheep, from which stem cells were grown.

These cells were in the laboratory was modified in such a way that they are in the form of blood vessels began to grow. After five weeks, the blood vessels, stripped of all cells, leaving only a kind of skeleton remained. With this ‘bloedvatskeletten’ was then a piece of the pulmonary artery is replaced by several lambs.

Mature

That operation succeeded very well. The lambs survived the surgery and grew up to be adult sheep.

After the implantation is started, there are body cells of the animals on the kunstbloedvaten to grow, so the bodies were not disposed of. There were, as it were, new blood vessels on the bloedvatskeletten’, which as a result meegroeiden with the body.

heart surgery

According to principal investigator Robert Tranquillo similar vessels in the future may be used in heart surgeries, for example, if arteries are to be adopted in children.

Now, young patients in whom an artery is attached, often many surgeries to undergo because the sutures do not grow with their bodies.

The new tested kunstbloedvaten can in theory grow. “We make use of a natural process in the body that of the bloedvatskeletten again, alive tissue,” says Tranquillo on news site Phys.org. “Hopefully we can do this within a few years of testing on people.”

Cybercriminals are trying more and more phones to crack – NOS

To access to the mobile phones, put criminals the same techniques as they use in computers. They do that because “mobile devices are getting less work as a simple phone, but work more like mobile computers,” writes Europol in the report.

But malware and ransomware for computers continue to be the biggest problem. The biggest threat is in the proliferation of ransomware, where the system is locked until the user ransom pay. The development of rogue software to the bank account information of computer users to figure out, remains among cybercriminals also popular.

Europol is also evidence that criminal organizations often attempt to misuse the popular contactless payment. This allows the organization to see how quickly criminals are able to adapt to new technologies.

1 million people on Mars thanks to Musk, is it feasible? – RTL Nieuws

1 million people need, in the future, on Mars to go live, as well as the to Elon Musk. Also the Nederander Bas Lansdorp wants with his project Mars One to the planet, but his plans are slightly less ambitious.

Mars One is a Dutch foundation with a ruimtekolonie want to settle on Mars. In 2026, the first team of four carefully selected people and the planet. “We are very ambitious. But Musk’s ambitions are almost impossible”, says Lansdorp.

That ambitions of American Musk are the following: he wants his company, SpaceX, a transportation system build to allow people to Mars could be transported. In the long term should there be 1 million people that way, in 2022 what Musk terms of the first hundred. Ambitious so, according to Lansdorp even hard to do.

However, he hopes that it will succeed. “It is for Mars One is very relevant that a major incumbent party as SpaceX, says: ‘this may just be and we’re going to build’. That contributes to our mission and brings us a step closer,” says the Mars One-the author.

Train tracks and train

Run SpaceX and Mars One, the other will not get in the way? “We are not competitors. SpaceX wants the transport system to build. The train tracks and the train. The rest is in others, governments, individuals, we are,” explained Lansdorp. “Already, we can build anything, but we buy everything. We are not aerospacebedrijf.”

Mars One sends will in the first instance, four people on a one-way ticket to Mars. A one-way ticket, because people have a need for this discovery prepared no more to earth return. The same wants, Musk also. Eventually, he wants to be in the long term, 1 million people to the red planet send.

No invasion

1 million people, is it not too much? “I don’t think so. As there are so many people, then you can be independent of the earth survive on Mars. On the first mission to go on until there are 100.” An invasion of Mars will not happen.

Ambitious, but achievable, and Perform the plan of Musk. Just like Mars One. For that project, Lansdorp working to get the funding to get around. Only then, they talk about missiles, with perhaps Musk. “Without the money that talks not yet useful.”

Money, money, money

Next year they hope to Lansdorp with Mars One to begin training of the teams, of which there is one about ten years to the planet may travel. “But also that training depends on funding.”

As the financing, transportation, and the teams are arranged, there is one important question: if you were on Mars, what then? How do you survive? “We need to be a habitable outpost building, so that people know that they can survive.” That outpost needs 250 square metres of living space offer, on which also food needs to be grown. “It is hard, but that’s part of it.”

Technology

That funding is to Musk, but around to get. Dutch students, in space technology at TU Delft saw a livestream how Musk his big plans announced. “Technically, it is all achievable. That technology is already invented and works,” says Jeroen Wink, one of the students. “We are really curious how he is going to fund. 10 billion he needed, that is quite a lot.”

Or the Musk in a few years succeed, doubts Wink. “He is known for his visionary plans, which he does quickly. Look at the electric car. But if this is going to happen?”

BlackBerry: push e-mail to smartphone, Android, and exit – Personal Computer Magazine

BlackBerry will stop producing phones. Although BlackBerry as the name continues to exist, the action taken by the an expected end of an era. How it went so wrong with the once successful company?

Read also: BlackBerry will stop producing phones.

The current leader of BlackBerry has a few days ago, a striking sound. He complains that Canadians are a bit more aid to his company. "If you really think that technology and know-how the next evolution of the economy, is a healthy BlackBerry of great importance", are the words of CEO John Chen. Prophetic words for BlackBerry stops with the development of their own smartphones.

BlackBerry stops with the self-build hardware. Instead, the production will be outsourced to external companies, but probably, the name BlackBerry would still exist.

Was about to come

The decision comes as no big surprise. BlackBerry CEO Chen announced last year to stop developing its own devices as the sale thereof not winstherstel would achieve.

Optimists and ‘CrackBerry’addicts saw another future for the prized smartphones, with their well-designed physical toetsenbordjes. Realists and the great mass of smartphone users saw BlackBerry continues to slide, despite the fact that the current smartphone market owes much to the company.

It was RIM that, for example, for the first time with push notifications in email came. Which were by the server doorgeduwd' to your mobile device. Always check our e-mail, or mail missing, so it was no longer necessary.

Microsoft-billions

That success, however, proved no guarantee for the future. The company was rapidly overtaken by Apple with its ipad, and numerous Android competitors. Later on I also Windows Phone. The former CEO Thorsten Heins was expecting little of Windows Phone, just as his predecessors did not see anything in the touch-screens for the operation of smartphones. The physical keyboard with BlackBerry’s patented design, according to the Canadian pioneer is superior.

too little, Too late

Years after the strong rise of the iPhone and Android smartphones is BlackBerry still with touch devices come up, but that proved to be much too late. In the interim the company is still with a private tablet come. The so-called PlayBook was designed for business use and had a clumsy wide-screen ratio.

The decline of BlackBerry is not only caused by the swirling iPhone, and Android revolution, and its own troubles with devices who are late on release. In the midst of all this turmoil, worked BlackBerry to the future: a new operating system to build for the mobile market. It is not surprising that the exodus of the old platform still accelerated. App developers saw no bread in the small and dwindling platform, and users saw a small app offer. A vicious circle.

In their own fingers cut

This painful transition, reminiscent of the 'reboots' that Microsoft has committed to work with its mobile platform(and). Of Windows Mobile 6 to Windows Phone 7 to Windows Phone 8 and 8.1, and now Windows 10 Mobile. Each of those transitions made it more difficult to upgrade, and caused sometimes problems for apps. Microsoft is in the position in the mobile market has not recovered from those steps.

That does what the situation with Apple, in the time that founder Steve Jobs on the side. Apple was with his antiquated Mac OS (not to be confused with the new macOS Sierra), and worked on an entirely new operating system. Codename: Copland. After years of work that never get off the ground.

No visionary saviour

Apple when the company NeXT, Steve Jobs bought. The operating system of that company is then become the basis of the current OS X (which will macOS is called). Also has several years of work, in which Apple is on the brink of the abyss has balanced. The digital music player iPod, and then the colorful consumentencomputer iMac made Apple’s finances back on came.

BlackBerry, however, has no visionary founders for salvation. The founders are the two co-ceos that have touch-screens ever ‘irrelevant’ called. The later in the house made John Chen is just a cleaner, a top manager who can clean up, but few <em>’feeling’</em> with smartphones. In an embarrassing video showed Chen the first BlackBerry with Android, but it soon became clear that the chief little understood. “He runs on Google…” said actually is enough.

Software-only if rescue?

BlackBerry throws it across the bow of software and leave the hardware to external partners – such as Apple did when it temporarily without Jobs was. When was Mac OS license sold to kloonfabrikanten. That external partners have the then Apple only competitive. Until Steve Jobs came back and the clone has to be truncated. At that time there was still time to recover from mistakes, even big mistakes. The speed of the current mobile market makes this almost impossible.

Space SpaceX wants in 2023 mission to Mars – NU.nl

SpaceX-CEO Elon Musk presented the Interplanetary Transport System of the company Tuesday night. Musk thinks now around 2023 people to Mars to send.

The system consists of a new rocket carrying a spaceship in orbit around the earth. Just like the Falcon 9 rockets from SpaceX in field trials, already successfully did, also the lanceringsraket after launch again, fly back and himself, and countries.

The missile then flies again to just outside the atmosphere, this time with a tank of fuel for the spaceship. That tank is three to five times up and down. It then fires the spaceship itself in the direction of Mars.

To Mars for $ 200,000

For a quick and affordable development of commercial space travel are the reusable components according to Musk essential. When people to Mars would be sent with the same method as the Apollo space program, that would be 10 billion us dollars per person costs.

Musk wants that amount reduced to $ 200,000 per person. That he wants to do by the lanceringsraket and the fuel tank constantly to re-use to different spacecraft to Mars to launch.

That spaceships themselves to the hand of the same construction on Mars, in turn, also be reusable, and would, on average, every two years again. It is about nine months to fly to Mars, every two years on its closest position to the earth.

The ship lands just as the lanceringsraket also vice versa. Musk wants with the Mars elements present fuel for a flight back to the earth. Yet the first passengers, according to the ceo be prepared to possible, never more to earth return.

a Thousand spaceships

Musk predicts that there will eventually be thousands of spaceships in orbit around the earth, which in turn fuel are provided and are prepared on a trip to Mars.

Those flights must be next to all kinds of stock, about 100 to 300 passengers per flight transport. By a thousand spaceships to use and with due observance of the positions of Mars, the earth, takes it according to Musk forty to a hundred years to a million people to the planet. That number of accounts as the minimum for a self-sufficient civilization.
