Highly sensitive wind satellite Aeolus has arrived safely at its launch site – after almost two weeks of sea travel. Initial checks on the satellite and its support equipment onsite at Europe's spaceport near Kourou indicate that Aeolus is good to go. "We are obviously all extremely pleased that Aeolus has now arrived at the launch site. Accurate forecasts are just one of the ways in which our mission will be able to help," said ESA's Aeolus mission scientist, Anne Grete Straume. Further checks will be carried out on the satellite and its scientific equipment over the coming weeks.
This Airline Wants to Fill the Gap Between Private & Commercial Air Travel
Aura advertises itself as "America's first five-star flight experience" and is looking to fill the gap between commercial airlines and private jets. Customers are promised the amenities of private jets — legroom, gourmet meals, Wi-Fi, and more — at a lower cost. Wave class will mimic private-jet travel, while first class is similar to first class on commercial — just at a reduced price and on a smaller plane. From next month the membership rate will go up to $250 per month. For anyone who spends a lot of time up in the air and wants a more relaxing alternative to flying commercial, Aura seems like a tempting prospect.
New University Rules Encourage Scientists to Avoid Air Travel
As it stated in Both the Sunset Limited and the Crescent would end up in New Orleans, where Scott, Ravikumar, and thousands more were attending a week-long meeting of the American Geophysical Union. Many of them study climate change: They make the graphs and draw the maps that translate carbon emissions into starker storms, longer droughts, or damaged crops. What Scott, Ravikumar, and some other scientists are doing is trying to reduce their carbon emissions by taking less energy-intense forms of transportation. Instead, administrators at that university seek to mitigate flight emissions through flat fees: $9 per domestic flight and $25 per international flight, taken out of the relevant department's budget. The fees will go toward emissions-reducing projects on the UCLA campus, such as energy retrofitting or solar panels—although the energy savings are unlikely to fully offset flights' carbon emissions.Author
