  • El Astronauta Jeremy Hansen Presenta Sello Canadabrazo Para Celebrar Los Logros De Canadá En La Robótica, La Ciencia Y La Tecnología
    El astronauta Jeremy Hansen presenta sello Canadabrazo para celebrar los logros de Canadá en la robótica, la ciencia y la tecnología Aproximadamente a las 9 pm EST, el 13 de noviembre de 1981, el Canadabrazo se despliega desde la bahía de carga del transbordador Columbia por primera vez. Esta maravilla de la ingeniería canadiense pesaba menos de 480 kilogramos, y podría levantar más de 30.000 kilogramos - El peso aproximado de un autobús de la ciudad - usando menos energía que un hervidor eléctrico. “El brazo está fuera y funciona muy bien. Sus movimientos son mucho más flexibles que aparecieron durante las simulaciones de entrenamiento “, el astronauta Richard informó verdad para el Control de Misión. Una hora más tarde, como el traslado voló sobre los EE.UU., las primeras imágenes fueron transmitidas al suelo: un gigante brazo doblado en una forma de V invertida, situado por encima de la bahía de carga de la lanzadera, con el Canadá wordmark claramente visible en su lado. Una historia de innovación Canadiense para inspirar a las generaciones futuras Podría decirse logro más famoso robot de Canadá, la primera Canadabrazo fue construido en el año 1974 a través de una colaboración entre Spar, CAE, DSMA Atcon y el Consejo Nacional de Investigación (NRC). Los primeros pasos se produjo en 1969, cuando la NASA vio por primera vez un robot desarrollado por la empresa canadiense DSMA Atcon diseñado para cargar combustible en los reactores nucleares. Una propuesta de un brazo robótico para desplegar y recuperar el hardware de la bodega de carga del transbordador espacial fue redactado poco después.

  • 2010 Spaceport News Summary
    2010 Spaceport News Summary The 2010 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. The “Spaceport News” portion used a bolder look at the beginning of the year and finished the year with a less bold look. This feature is included on page 1 of some of the 2010 Spaceport News issues. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article. Starting with this Summary, the margins are left and right justified, more like a book. Page 1 From The January 8, 2010, Spaceport News On page 3, “South Florida undergraduates launch weather balloon, future”.
