Thanks again to all the other leaders for agreeing to be a part of this video. Standing together (not too close together!) to encourage every Canadians to get vaccinated is the right thing to do. Let's protect each other. If you're not vaccinated, please don't wait any longer.
Yesterday, the OSIRIS-REx team received images of the spacecraft’s sample collector head brimming with regolith. So much sample was collected that some of it is actually slowly escaping the sampling head. More details: bit.ly/2Tkxknt
Well, I definitely touched down on Bennu! Preliminary data show the sampling head touched Bennu’s surface for approximately 6 seconds, within 3 feet (1 meter) of the targeted location. #ToBennuAndBack More details: bit.ly/37ux3GI
At this time tomorrow, we’ll know if touchdown on asteroid Bennu was a success. It’s getting real 😬
A little earlier, @schemafactor gave an update on his Dungeon of the Rogue Daemon multiplayer project, and you can play it live here: rogue.jammingsignal.com/rogue/ - work together with other players to find the key as a first step! (No inventory, so you have to collaborate.)
A total of 347 images from @OSIRISREx's PolyCam were stitched together to create this mosaic of Osprey, the mission's back-up sample collection site on asteroid Bennu. Download the mosaic and learn more about #NASA's first asteroid-sampling spacecraft: go.nasa.gov/2zQJm1X
Webcast of Crew Dragon’s demonstration mission with @NASA astronauts @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug on board the spacecraft is now live → spacex.com/launches
TONIGHT (Friday May 15th) at 6 PM EST: Another livestream, part of Toronto Noise Fest Online! facebook.com/events/s/tnf-p…
Tonight (Saturday May 2) at 10 PM EST! Live studio stream of some new audio experiments \/\/\/\ twitch.tv/schemafactor
Fasten your seatbelts. It’s rehearsal time! Today is our first chance to practice the sequence for the sample collection event. Flight activities include: orbit departure, sample arm deployment and an initial descent to 410 ft (125 m) above Bennu to execute the "Checkpoint" burn.
Calling all 🇨🇦 space fans! Please support this #LEGO product idea for a #Canadarm model! It needs 10,000 votes to be considered by @LEGO_Group as a real product. #Vote #space #robotics #CdnSpace #ISS @LEGOIdeas ideas.lego.com/projects/bfcfd…
.@schemafactor is also speaking on the ways that roguelikes and retrocomputing go well together: it’s fun to write for bare metal and do some hardware hacking. He’s working on a multiplayer roguelike for players on any platform, from mainframes to iPhones. #roguelikecelebration
From an altitude of 700m, the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (from @csa_asc) fired its laser millions of times at Bennu’s surface, producing the highest resolution topographic maps ever of any planetary body. Here is OLA’s view of our final 4 sample sites: bit.ly/2ZBSUZn
