SpaceX Launch Fails To Reach Space

azuredrake and many other readers have written to tell us: "The New York Times reports that the third SpaceX launch has failed following the second-stage ignition of the Falcon 1 rocket. The SpaceX launch had three satellites on board, all of which were presumably destroyed in the incident. This marks the third failed launch for SpaceX — twice they failed to reach orbit, and once the Falcon 1 rocket was lost five minutes after launch. While the company vows to carry on, this certainly raises some questions about the likelihood of successful privatization of the Space industry." Reader Nano2Sol points out a video of the launch from a camera on Falcon 1, and notes a small oscillation just prior to the footage being cut off. Spaceflight Now ran a mission update blog leading up to the failure, and they also have more coverage on the loss of

Fixing Launch Pad 39A Will Cost $2.7M, NASA Says

Jun. 27--NASA officials on Thursday said it should cost about $2.7 million to fix a flame trench at Launch Pad 39A that was damaged May 31, when space-shuttle Discovery blasted into orbit. The launch ripped about 3,500 bricks from the east wall of the pad's north flame trench. Afterward, investigators discovered that corrosion to the structure, combined with the stress of launch, was the culprit. Repairs to the wall are expected to begin today and should finish by the third week in August, well before the next shuttle launch planned for Oct. 8.

NVIDIA licenses low-power tech from Transmeta

While NVIDIA has made strides in power management, their chipsets are still known for being power hungry, especially when compared against the competition. To address the issue NVIDIA has licensed low-power technology from former CPU manufacturer Transmeta. According to Transmeta, "The agreement grants to NVIDIA a non-exclusive and fully paid-up license to all of Transmeta's patents and patent applications, and a non-exclusive license and transfer of certain Transmeta advanced power management and other computing technologies."

Are SSD Really More Power Efficient?

Bakasama writes "Tom's Hardware compared the power performance of several available SSD cards with a Rotating HDD that was chosen specifically for its poor power efficiency. The results seem to fly in the face of current wisdom. 'Flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) are considered to be the future of performance hard drives, and everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon. We are no exception, as we have been publishing many articles on flash-based SSDs during the last few months, emphasizing the performance gains and the potential power savings brought by flash memory. And there is nothing wrong with this, since SLC flash SSDs easily outperform conventional hard drives today (SLC = single level cell). However, we have discovered that the power savings aren't there: in fact, battery runtimes actually decrease if you use a flash SSD.

Korea Delays Space Launch

Ashlynne9423 writes to tell us that South Korea has announced a delay to their first space launch. Holding off until the second quarter of 2009, the delays are being blamed in part on late delivery of the Russian-designed launch pad and ground equipment. "The Korea Space Launch Vehicle (KSLV) is intended to be the first space craft to reach orbit from a launch site in Korea. The two stage KSLV-1 is being developed by Korea with Russian assistance. The lower first stage of the craft is built in Russia, based on the Angara rocket design."

iPhone 3G vs. BlackBerry Bold: First Head to Head

There are basically two camps on the year's most anticipated phone: iPhone 3G or BlackBerry Bold. They are different phones with different core audiences, which largely comes down to keyboard preferences. But Boy Genius gives us a lot to chew on anyway in the first live head-to-head (and not just the photos). The shockers are that the newly plastic iPhone 3G has a better build quality and the Bold's screen is better, thanks to a dense pixel-per-inch ratio.

Fujitsu: 256Mbit FCRAM for digital consumer electronics

Fujitsu announces the development of a 256Mbit Consumer FCRAM for digital consumer electronics, the MB81EDS256545. The new FCRAM has low power consumption and is suited for system-in-package designs, with samples available from today. Key features include a 64-bit I/O, a low power DDR SDRAM interface that enables data transfer capabilities equivalent to two DDR2 SDRAMs with 16-bit I/O while reducing power consumption by up to 1W. This contributes to power savings for digital consumer electronics and makes the new device ideal for consumer electronics products that require low power consumption, such as digital televisions and camcorders.

Launch Pad Repairs to Begin; Hubble Repair Mission Should Go As Scheduled

Work will begin on Friday to repair damaged sections of Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad 39A that was damaged during the last space shuttle launch on May 31. On Thursday, (June 26) NASA managers approved a plan that would complete the repairs by the third week of August. Therefore the mission schedule shouldn’t be impacted. The next space shuttle flight, the high-profile final mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope is scheduled to launch on October 8, and if all goes well with the repairs, space shuttle Atlantis would crawl its way out to the pad on August 29. "We really like the plan," said shuttle Program Manager John Shannon. "We expect to start moving out on it right away."

Making power policy just work

The kernel can't know if you want those low-priority processes to use all the CPU power on the system, or if you want them to pile up on one CPU and save power on the rest. Developers debate the best way to set the system's power rules.

More Power for a Drenched iPhone

The latest hoopla about the 3G iPhone ends abruptly when you certainly start talking about its battery-life. 3 hours of surfing on the phone would leave it conked regardless of your need thus it becomes very important for every iPhone 2G/3G user to buy a power station as soon as he realises that the surfing needs aren’t being met with. Brando from Hong Kong has come up with a Power Station for the iPhone that would supply 1000mAh power and all that at $25 isn’t a bad buy especially for emergency situations. People do talk about its looks but then I believe that is not the aspect which would make it sell initially, it is the need folks.
