Months after he was born, in 1948, Ron McCallum became blind. In this charming, moving talk, he shows how he is able to read — and celebrates the progression of clever tools and adaptive computer…
*Successful Test Flights for Mars Landing Technology*
The *ADAPT* (*Autonomous Descent and Ascent Powered-flight Testbed*) test
system can help a spacecraft divert its course and make a smooth, pinpoint
landing. The system is built on Masten’s XA-0.1B “Xombie” vertical-launch,
vertical-landing reusable rocket.

Awesome work! Whats with all the Elvis iconography?
I just moved to Mojave. It’s amazing what’s going on in my backyard!

How was the wind? Could you do this in hars weather conditions?

Let’s be realistic now. Finding the middle of a cement pad in the middle of
a cleared and flattened landscape isn’t particularily hard. This will only
be impressive once you can put this down in the middle of a boulder strewn
area kilometers square in size with an onboard map whose resolution can’t
see below 2m^2. This doesn’t include calculation of rover routes as well.
Nice first step but this was about as risky as a robot buttering toast.
Просто замечательно

Wow! It is perfect:)
респект, но как же мы стали капитально отставать от янки. рукалицо.
NASA realiza testes bem-sucedidos com tecnologia para pousar em Marte
Laboratório de Propulsão à Jato da NASA anunciou na última quarta-feira
(18) que realizou testes bem sucedidos para aperfeiçoar a Mars Landing
Technology – a mesma tecnologia utilizada nas sondas que já pousaram com
êxito no Planeta Vermelho.
Os engenheiros que estão trabalhando em Pasadena, California, estão
otimizando processos para permitir que uma nave espacial consiga pousar em
Marte com mais precisão, aumentando assim a segurança de futuras missões.
Esse problema na precisão é ainda tão significativo que, a Curiosity, que
chegou em Marte em agosto de 2012, por exemplo, tinha uma área de pouso
estimada de 20×7 quilómetros, o que pode resultar bastante perigoso.
Precisão de até 100m
O foguete em miniatura que serviu como cobaia para testar os novos
algoritmos de pouso vertical chama-se Autonomous Descent and Ascent
Powered-flight Testbed (ADAPT). O sistema não só permite que um foguete
reutilizável decole verticalmente, mas também que pouse em segurança da
mesma forma em um raio de 100 metros previamente selecionado.
Não é a primeira vez que o ADAPT faz um voo exitoso. De fato, a tecnologia
já tinha sido testada corretamente em dezembro do ano passado. Segundo a
NASA, o aperfeiçoamento dos algoritmos e aparelhos será um grande passo
para aumentar a segurança da exploração espacial e permitir pousos futuros
mais seguros em Marte e em outros planetas.

Sheesh.

I just want to hear this guy talk every day of my life.
Inspirador, honesto y sencillo. No tiene desperdicio y en mi opinión logra
transmitir la tremenda necesidad actual de liberar el flujo de libros en
todos los países del mundo de una manera inteligente, sensible y humana.
Gracias Ron.
