Emmanuel Macron participe au sommet du G5 Sahel qui se tient ce dimanche 2 juillet à Bamako. La journaliste Pauline Maucort, qui a recueilli les témoignages de soldats français ayant participé aux « #opérations_extérieures » en #Afghanistan, au #Mali ou en #Centrafrique, ouvre la boîte noire du déni de cette « France en guerre » qui ne veut pas voir qu’elle l’est.

How #Rosetta gets passivated

Since Rosetta wasn’t designed to have its transmitter permanently off, we had to change the on-board software by patching it.

Farewell, silent #Philae

Tomorrow, 27 July 2016 at 09:00 UTC / 11:00 CEST, the Electrical Support System Processor Unit (ESS) on #Rosetta will be switched off. The ESS is the interface used for communications between #rosetta and the #lander, #philae, which has remained silent since 9 July 2015. Switching off the ESS is part of the preparations for Rosetta’s end of mission. By the end of July 2016, the spacecraft will be some 520 million km from the Sun, and will start facing a significant loss of power – about 4W per day. In order to continue scientific #Operations over the next two months and to maximise their return, it became necessary to start reducing the power consumed by the non-essential payload components on board. No signal has been received by Rosetta from Philae since last July and earlier this year (...)
