Blue Origin will develop a rocket engine with ULA

company Blue Origin, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has signed a major partnership agreement with United Launch Alliance on the joint development of a new rocket engine for rockets Atlas and Delta. The company United Launch Alliance is a joint venture between Boeing and Lockheed Martin. This is the BE-4 engine as developed by Blue Origin engaged in more than three years. Now the engine is tested in the company's development center in Texas. Recall that the ULA has contracts with the Ministry of Defense United States regarding the supply of rockets to launch military and government satellites.

 In a joint statement, the parties said that cooperation in the development of the engine will quickly complete its output to a commercial operation. The agreement provides for co-operation for 4 years from the start of testing in 2016 at the real launch vehicles and the first commercial flight in 2019. Recall that in recent years in the United States are increasingly talking about the development of "home" space technology: manned aircraft for ISS, own rocket engines, new types of rocket fuel, starting systems. Particularly active in such conversations began to take place against the background of the situation around Ukraine, which has led to a worsening of Russian-American relations. 

After the introduction of a succession of American sanctions against Russian companies and sectors of the economy, the United States itself were partly based on a number of Russian developments. Experts say that the situation with Ukraine has been a catalyst in the United States, while the first of the "depending on the Russian" in the United States started talking to 2011, simultaneously with the winding down of space shuttle flights. now NASA actually have no choice but to work with the Russian Space Agency at least 2017 for manned flight programs. After 2017, NASA hopes to use as vehicles for the development of near-Earth Flight Boeing and SpaceX.

In a distant supernova, scientists unexpectedly found a companion star

In a distant supernova, scientists unexpectedly found a companion star

With the help of a telescope "Hubble" NASA scientists were able to detect the companion in a distant supernova SN 1993J. This supernew of type IIb, during which the explosion space in emitted much less hydrogen than in the case of the more common types of explosions. And since a considerable number of stars in the universe are composed of double and even triple systems, the scientists immediately suspected that in this area there are other stars. To do this, data of the optical and ultraviolet collected telescope "Hubble", were combined into one picture, which manifested itself and glow of the second star. Second star has strong gravity and stole a huge amount of hydrogen from the body of its exploding companion, then continued to exist as a very hot helium star. 

From the ground to the supernova SN 1993J, in the constellation Ursa Major, about 11 million light-years. Thus, the subject is far beyond the Milky Way, the galaxy M81, also known as Bode's Galaxy. Due to the not so distant, in intergalactic standards, of course, distances, as well as its spectacular appearance with an almost perfect spiral arms, the space object is very popular among fans of astronomers around the world. This finding confirms the long-held belief that the supernova SN 1993J comes from inside the binary system. Dual system includes two stars, interacting with each other, resulting in a cosmic explosion. 

"It's like a crime scene, and we finally identified the perpetrator," said Alex Filippenko, professor of astronomy at the University of California at Berkeley. "The companion star" stole "a large amount of hydrogen surrounding the starburst-neighbor." Combining data from optical radiation and ultraviolet light from Hubble, the team was the spectrum that is consistent with the predicted luminescence of the companion star. Only recently, scientists were able to detect this radiation, known as emission continuum. These new findings will help astronomers understand the mechanisms of different types of supernova.

New defense mechanism Windows 8.1 can be hacked - experts

New defense mechanism Windows 8.1 can be hacked - experts

The next generation of Microsoft PatchGuard (or Kernel Patch Protection) to protect key components of Windows 8.1 has significant enhancements that prevent hacking attacks. However, the results of the safety analysis conducted by experts from the Research Center Positive Research, suggests a number of weaknesses that allows an attacker to bypass these mechanisms to implement and even completely neutralize the system of protection.

 A study Brand Ermolova and Artem Shishkin, published on the website Positive Technologies, provides several attack scenarios, allow compromise KPP. Potential attacker with sufficient qualifications, can write a driver that will selectively apply one or more of the techniques and thus completely blocking mechanisms KPP, allowing you to make modifications to the structures and unimpeded kernel code. In his work, experts note that PatchGuard is nevertheless very promising tool for the protection and laid him in mechanisms contribute significantly to the stability of the system.

 Also stresses that innovations of this instrument are demanding more skill the attacker to determine workarounds: the development of KPP elements were used obfuscation using macros and other anti-debugging techniques prevent the reconstruction code, and also introduced technology virtually eliminates static analysis.

Boeing and SpaceX will be engaged in a manned flight to the ISS

Boeing and SpaceX will receive a contract for manned missions the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the first flight is scheduled for 2017, said Tuesday the head of department Charles Bolden. After the Space Shuttle program in 2011, the United States is used for flights the orbit of Russian missiles "Union" and pay the Russian side for each run of 71 million dollars. "We carry out the promise of President Obama's space launches back to the United States and end our dependence on Russian," - said Bolden. 

According to him, the initial cost of the project to develop a manned spacecraft, which will fly to the International Space Station, will be about 6, 8 billion dollars. Both companies will use the system on the basis of landers-capsules. Boeing presented its project to the competition spaceship CST-100 and SpaceX - ship design Dragon. Bolden said the United States expects to launch the first independent manned mission to the end of 2017 c Cape Canaveral, Florida. 

Head of commercial manned NASA Liders Kathy explained that the contract provides for up to six manned missions to the International Space Station, in each mission will involve four astronauts. Due to the new ship the scientific potential of the ISS should increase by about half, calculated at NASA. "In addition, it can serve as a rescue capsule space station for up to 210 days," - said Liders. After the United States imposed sanctions against Russia because of the annexation of the Crimea and the events surrounding the Ukraine, they made ​​an exception for those projects in which interested themselves, in particular for the ISS.

Netflix is ​​coming to Europe

Netflix is ​​coming to Europe

American broadcast video service Netflix begins European expansion. Initially, the company operated only in the United States, where the market for cable TV and extra pay TV is very developed, but in recent years the dynamics of connecting new customers significantly decreased. In the second quarter of this year, the company has connected only 570,000 new subscribers in the United States, while outside the country - already 1.1 million. On leaving Netflix in Europe, industry experts said a long time ago. However, the company had no experience in the European market, and it is significantly different from America, both in terms of content and its presentation. 

Nevertheless, the company's management says that now becomes important for Netflix is international expansion. Total European company plans to appear on Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and Luxembourg. In France and Germany, the company's services were launched on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Management believes Netflix, here is the highest in demand video broadcasting services at relatively low market saturation and high solvency of the population. example, in Germany Netflix service plans start with a mark of 7.99 euros. 

Here the company will offer both content previously proposed in the United States, as well as local produce. Users can connect to the system, not only on the smart TV, but also on the PC, smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles. In addition, an agreement was signed with the operator Deutsche Telekom on connecting Netflix to its platform IPTV (French platform works through the operator Orange - Ed.). Netflix also will be offered as a separate hardware solutions. 

Earlier, in a restricted mode Netflix earned in countries such as Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands. According to the forecast of the company, due to operations in the European market Netflix can expand your customer base by 6.5 million people. Total for today Netflix about 50 million customers, of which approximately 13.8 million are outside the United States.

Scientists chose the landing site for the machine Rosetta

Scientists chose the landing site for the machine Rosetta

Spacecraft "Rosetta" will try to send a comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko probe "Philae" to take soil samples. Staff at the European Space Agency chose the relatively flat portion of the surface of the comet, named after the scientists who discovered it in 1969 - Klim Churyumov and Svetlana Gerasimenko. According to experts, to carry out the landing on the comet's surface will not be easy. Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which hurtles through space at a distance of 440 million km from the Earth, - irregular shape, and even on the flat surface of the can is potentially dangerous boulders and cracks. According to preliminary data, the probability of a successful landing is 70-75%. According to the plan, the probe "Rosetta" must land on a comet on 11 November. "Rosetta" send probe "Philae" comet at a distance of about 10 kilometers. Device, its appearance resembling a spider will move over the surface "at a walking pace." 

"Philae" will cling to the surface of the comet with the screws and harpoons - on the comet is very small gravitational pull. distance from the Earth to "Rosetta" is so great that operational control of the spacecraft and the probe "Philae" is impossible, and the whole operation "landing" on the comet 67P will be held in the automatic mode, the last team "Rosetta" and "Philae" will give a few days before the operation. Landing probe "Philae" discussed at the weekend in Toulouse. Scientists and engineers in a few weeks studying "ice mountain", also known as the comet, in search of a relatively flat area, for which they will be able to land a robot.

 Among the five potential sites for planting now there are only two - the main and spare. Over the coming weeks, the researchers will decide which one is more appropriate, and take a final decision in mid-October. entire process of separation, descent and landing, is expected to take seven o'clock. If "Philae" successfully sit on the surface of the comet, it will be a historic moment in space exploration. "Philae" is equipped with a drill, the robot will be able to take soil samples from a comet in his laboratory. "If we get a few measurements and a few samples, it will be a success," - says Dan-Pierre Bibring, one of the leading researchers in this project. 

But regardless of whether the landing will take place successfully or not, "Rosetta" will follow the comet Churyumov -Gerasimenko at least for a year. Machine receives the image of the comet, the surface of which, as it approaches the sun will evaporate the ice, throwing gas flows and a huge cloud of dust into space.

Google also wants to arrange the delivery with the help of drones

Google designed and tested autonomous vehicles that will be used for delivery of goods, BBC News reported on Friday night. The project is a research unit of the company - Google X, which is also responsible for the development of self-governing car. Work on the aircraft has been ongoing for two years, but until now has been kept secret. At Google, declare that, in the long term, expect to use drones for disaster management, delivering goods to isolated areas. 

Such devices can be used after earthquakes, floods or extreme weather conditions, to carry medicines, food or batteries in areas that are inaccessible to conventional vehicles. Originally conceived as a means of machine delivery defibrillators people with suspected heart attack. The idea was that the UAV can carry the necessary equipment faster than an ambulance. device successfully tested in Australia. Its wingspan of 1.5 meters, weight (with maximum load) - 8.5 kilograms.
