I was previously a member of the DART’s science team and worked on predicting the scale of the impact in term of the extra push from ejected asteroid material.
My team visited the ESTEC facility in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, to attend the last Hera community workshop before the mission launch in October 2024.
The workshop was to discuss the latest update in the mission operations of the spacecraft and the development status of the spacecraft which is now in the building and integrating phase.
We had the chance to visit the ESTEC’s laboratories specifically the assembled spacecraft which was particularly exciting. This workshop served to bring together the all science team to discuss coordinate and finalizing the interfaces between the working groups.
It is an exciting mission because the spacecraft will have much more time than DART to really explore the binary asteroid system (Didymos and Dimorphos).
Moreover, the spacecraft will be carrying two CubeSats to enhance the science but also to demonstrate the use of low-cost spacecraft beyond Earth’s application.
The use of microsat for asteroid exploration links to my UKRI funded REMORA project (REndezvous Mission for Orbital Reconstruction of Asteroids: a fleet of self-driven CubeSats for tracking and characterising asteroids) on a new mission concept idea to use low-cost cubesats as a new asteroid tracking system.
One Bite Technology, a computer, tablet and cell phone repair shop specializing in Apple products, was voted No. 1 in three St. Albert Gazette Readers’ Choice categories.
St. Albert residents cast their votes for Best Computer/Cell Phone Sales/Repair, Best Electronic Shop and Best Customer Service. The votes suggest tech shoppers appreciate innovative connectivity and quality support.
“This says a lot. We are super appreciative. There are a lot of cases we get where other places haven’t done a good job,” said Jeff Baker who along with wife Jessica are the business co-founders. “We’re not the cheapest, but I like to take the time to help people when no one else has.”
The Bakers started One Bite Technology in 2018 out of their house in Grandin about 18 months before COVID erupted in Canada.
“Once COVID came out, our business exploded. Everyone was working from home, and they needed a computer. All the computers I had in inventory disappeared,” said Baker.
