With Maven, NASA wants to know why Mars has lost its ... - 20minutes.fr

NASA is preparing to launch a probe November 18, Maven, in the upper layer of the atmosphere of Mars in order to better understand the reasons for the disappearance of most of its atmosphere.

Maven (March Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission ), in orbit around Mars, explore the upper atmosphere and ionosphere and interactions with the Sun and the solar wind, explained Monday officials mission at a press conference.

“Solving the puzzle of the past and present environment of Mars”

“Maven will help us understand the climate history of Mars, which is in fact the history of its habitability,” said Bruce Jakosky, a planetary scientist at the University of Colorado, chief scientist for the mission. “The Maven mission is an important step to solve the puzzle of the past and present environment of Mars,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator of NASA’s Science Mission responsible.

Mars has had in the past a denser atmosphere conducive to the presence of water on its surface. But at a major climate change, most of its atmosphere escaped into space, the scientists explain.

measurements by Maven should determine the role that loss of compounds in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water over time. This will give a clearer picture of the history of the atmosphere and climate of Mars, water and habitability of the planet.

Arrival Mars orbit in September 2014

probe of 2.45 tonnes will be launched aboard an Atlas V rocket, at United Launch Alliance, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida (southeast) on November 18 at 5:28 p.m. GMT at beginning of a launch window for twenty days, and for a one-year mission. Marven ten months will reach Mars orbit in September 2014.

After arriving and five weeks of instrument calibration, the probe will go into an elliptical orbit that will allow observations at all latitudes. During a first phase, Maven will execute maneuvers which will dive up to 150 km from the Martian soil, the lower limit of the upper atmosphere. Its altitude varies from 150 km to over 6000 km.

Maven will be equipped with eight scientific instruments, the sensor SWEA (Solar Wind Electron Analyzer), developed by the IRAP, the French Research Institute for Astrophysics and Planetology, analyze electrons in the solar wind magnetosphere of Mars. Maven is the second mission of the U.S. Scout program, small cheap missions dedicated to the exploration of Mars. Its cost is less than $ 500 million, excluding launch.

Google Data Center construct a mobile, ecological and floating? - Digital Zone

October 27, 2013

Google is trying to build a data center (Data Center) floating movable so wish and environmentally friendly as it is self-sufficient and powered by hydropower. The building is currently under construction in the San Francisco Bay between San Francisco and Oakland is sd Island Treasure Island is a former military base. The Web giant has filed a patent in 2009 for a concept using electric generators via hydropower with cooling cells. A concept to have many advantages. This project would be based on containers would therefore mobile. The advantage is that it can be moved easily. On the other hand, would use the movement of water as energy and thus decrease the energy bill. All data centers in the U.S. consumed 1.5% of U.S. electricity in 2006.

Site under construction southeast of Treasure Island

Due to its position, it would be a seismic building indestructible and even if a tsunami because of its mobility and would rentabilisable easily thanks to its low-cost energy source: water. This data center is a rumor but in terms of patents there a few years by Google, we can assume that this project is that the Mountain View giant. It takes place on containers forming a base of 80 meters long, 25 meters wide and a height of four stories. This barge is approached southeast of the island of Treasure Island. Water and wind energy sources used.

Google has decided to invest the San Francisco Bay by building a data center on the water with containers. Photos were revealed on Twitter, but now it is impossible to know the inside of this building would have about 4 floors. The Mountain View company has been asked many times, but did not want to make any comment on this rumor about the construction of a floating data center. For an expert, Google could build on that choice through the environment. Indeed, the company would have easy access to a source of cooling water is also a source of cheap energy.

data center on a barge 80 m

From a technical point of view, a floating data center is an interesting project. It should also take into account a patent filed by Google in 2009, concerned the construction of such a building on the water. So there would be more evidence that would confirm this rumor. The site is set on the island of Treasure Island and Hangar 3 draws the attention of journalists and the barge 80 meters long accosted southeast of the island. The place is very secure, so it is very difficult to get information, but Google has been interested for some time in this concept. The Mountain View company has found that such construction had real advantages compared to other projects. Laminate with a concept, the data center can be easily displaced in accordance with the request.

benefits of floating data center

You should also know that real estate in San Francisco is quite expensive and traditional data center consume significant power. Indeed, the data center in the United States tend to consume 1.5% of U.S. electricity according to data from 2006. Google would have been able to find a way through the movement of the water. Waves and wind bring all the elements needed to power the barge 25 meters wide where containers are stacked. Another advantage is highlighted in the case of tsunami, the floating data center would not damaged, but that the bottom must be sufficiently immersed.

Orange: everything is in Palaiseau bundle! - Boursier.com

(Boursier.com) – The commitment made there a year, make, by the end of 2013, 100% of eligible Palaisiens fiber is about to be held. Today, nearly 90% of homes are eligible. With the town of Palaiseau, Orange implements practical procedures and tests to switch clients copper network to a 100% fiber. “The experiment with the town of Palaiseau is instructive. Fiber It reinforces our strategy as it demonstrates that customers have a real appetite for the fiber and it allows them to significantly increase their use,” said Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange.

Since October 24, Orange no longer sells bids on copper addresses fibered Palaiseau. It is also a first for the first time ever, on the scale of an entire city, a major operator sells its services exclusively on the fiber on the consumer market and some of the professional and business markets.

Orange maintains its goal of having finally migrated its customers in the fiber network end of 2014 (end of 2015 for business customers).

A Palaiseau, high speed broadband has revolutionized the use of ... - Expansion

City Palaiseau in the Essonne, will be the first 100% fibered in France, and in 2014. One year after the start of the experiment set up by Orange, the operator has to do, Friday, October 25, a first assessment of the use of fiber optics. This connection, which allows a very high speed internet, over ADSL, has greatly accelerated the development of consumer uses.

this initial assessment shows that “uses are dramatically increasing the fiber,” said Orange CEO Stephane Richard.

The use via internet “clients fiber” is three times than they were of ADSL, as the fiber can also fast data transmission on decentralized servers (cloud), there is a “significant increase” (multiplied by 8) customer traffic to the network (upstream traffic), says Orange. “Customers send an average of 62% of the traffic they receive,” said Richard.

also use visual development with “a seven-fold increase in average use per customer catch-up TV, a 3-fold increase in the rate of customers choosing pay TV packages, and 3 consumption video on demand (VoD).

Customers who prefer to opt for fiber offers high-end

CEO of Orange was also keen to reassure “those who question the economic model of the fiber.” The increased use results in increasing customer choice for the rich offerings: two-thirds of Orange customers fibers in Palaiseau chose a premium / premium offer, says the

In October 2012, Orange was launched in the sub-prefecture of Essonne of 30,000, the procedure to switch the copper network, currently used for Internet connection via ADSL to a 100% fiber . A year later, 90% of households expressed Palaisiens connectable, that is to say, it can subscribe to the Orange fiber if they want, and 75% of mainstream customers of the operator in this city have taken the course.

Confident orange for 100% fiber Palaiseau soon extinction ... - Clubic

Posted by Alexandre Laurent Friday, October 25, 2013

Orange promises it will soon cover the entire town of Palaiseau in optical fiber. A first that according to the operator allows to consider eventual extinction copper auspiciously.

Although the 100% fiber does not unanimous among operators involved in competition for mobile deployments, Orange draws on his side extremely positive experimentation 100% fiber engaged with the city of Palaiseau (Essonne). Stéphane Richard, CEO of the operator, delivered Friday morning at a press conference the latest figures on the project under the watchful eye of Fleur Pellerin.

Orange indicates that on the Greater Palaiseau (30 000 and 16 000 copper lines), 90% of households are now connectable to the optical fiber. The procedures are also undertaken for 5% of the remaining homes. The operator said well on track to reach its goal of 100% coverage within a few months

Friday, time was therefore to satisfecit:. Stéphane Richard has touted uses ” dramatically increased ‘found in fiber subscribers in Palaiseau which represent 75% of public customers of Orange consumption three times higher than that of ADSL customers, up to seven times more TV catching eight times more traffic back (upload), with “ migration is accompanied by a rise in the level of the selected range offers” since customers would three times more likely to opt for pay TV bouquets in addition to their triple play .

The next step will be in full scale. “ Starting today, we no longer sell offer on copper for all areas of the city where there is fiber “, has announced Stéphane Richard. The initiative would be a “ World “, although at this stage it does not yet cover the companies on the grounds that the latter are often still rely on analog for telephony.

The question is whether the 100% fiber well lead to the extinction of copper, its logical corollary. In this regard, Orange suggested the end of September, as revealed the Express that things may be more complicated than expected, partly because the other operators would not be as likely as him migrate to any optical fiber.

“ It is wrong to say that there is undue tension between operators about Palaiseau ” tempered Friday Stéphane Richard, while admitting that all was not yet settled as regards the wholesale market. “There work, carried out with the ARCEP and other operators to define the terms of this flip-flop, especially in terms of timing, but I am sure we will quickly find an agreement ” Has he even said.

“ The question is not whether there will be extinction of copper but of when and how ,” says Fleur Pellerin about it. To the Minister for the digital economy, the financial framework and the practical arrangements for the pooling would now sufficiently clear to overcome the reluctance. It adds the promise of such tripartite agreements involving operators, local authorities and state. The first of its kind is also signed on Monday (28 October) to Lille.

“ These agreements are commitments, not just intentions, with specific elements and true transparency in the deployment schedule and how to connect clients , “boasts the minister. In this context, politicians would therefore have a say on the deployment and communities have, above all, the ability to turn to the State for failure to hedge commitments. However, it will not exercise enforcement action for failure to avoid any effect “ disincentive .”

Very High Speed: Positive for the first city connected 100% - Digital Zone

October 26, 2013

One year after the start of the implementation of the incumbent Orange fiber optic on the town of Palaiseau, an initial assessment was made this Friday, October 25, 2013.

first French city 100% connected to the optical fiber via operator Orange will Palaiseau. High speed broadband will be effective in 2014. It is a year since the experiment began and Stephane Richard, CEO of Orange made an initial assessment turns out to be very positive. Consumers use more fiber optics to connect to the Internet, more than three times the speed ADSL, which shows that users are fond of very high speed. Orange’s goal is to remove copper in favor of fiber which is not easy for competitors of the incumbent did not see a very good eye to force the passage of the City Palaiseau at very high speed. Orange thought competitors would block its passage to the fiber. This is not the case, and Stéphane Richard has insisted that discussions were held with other operators and it’s going pretty well. To ensure timely transition to high speed, the Orange group worked in conjunction with competing operators and the ARCEP, the telecoms regulator in France to find a positive to all. The initial schedule is maintained and the CEO of Orange indicates that at present, 75% of those users subscribed to Orange Palaiseau are equipped with optical fiber. Professionals will be connected in whole, but not before one or two years says Delphine Ernotte, Executive Director of Orange France. Therefore the initial schedule Stéphane Richard can not be met, she says.

In the city of Grenoble, the first work of implementation of very high speed (THD) started there five years, and the entire city is now virtually connected to THD and 4G shows Stéphane Richard. Orange will still deploy fiber in small residences and pavilions. More than 104,000 homes already have currently. Deployment to neighboring towns is being finalized and Orange intends to expand further. The goal is to cover 27 towns around Grenoble by the end of 2020.

A dean of the universe galaxy identified - BBC

itemprop=”about”>

oldest known galaxy in the universe at least 13 billion years. To put it another way, if the history of the universe was represented on a meter, it would be at the fifth centimeter. The venerable z8_GND_5296 is his first name, has won the title of Dean after a study conducted by American astronomers detected several candidates in recent years by the Hubble Space Telescope. She is the only one to have passed the “spectroscopic test” of the infrared camera Mosfire the Keck telescope in Hawaii. An approach that was used to validate age, explained Steven Finkelstein and colleagues in an article in the journal Nature.

What was the test? To understand this, it is necessary to return for a moment on the notion of age in astronomy. When talking about an “old 13 billion years” galaxy, we’re not talking about a dying or shriveled galaxy but a star cluster whose light took 13 billion years to reach us. As this cluster is very far from us, we do know that this lad state, a photograph taken in this case, only 700 million years after the big bang. If this galaxy still exists today, it would be “at least 13 billion years.” In other words, the “oldest” astronomical objects are more distant.

immediate consequence determine the age of a galaxy astronomical returns to estimate its distance. However, a galaxy is far more, the more light that reaches us is redshifted. The “spectroscopic test” is to use a particular clearly identified light from a galaxy, the influence of hydrogen, for example, and measure its redshift. Of the 43 galaxies studied by researchers, only z8_GND_5296 issued this type of light.

“This does not mean that the other candidates are not as distant galaxies, but they are probably too dusty for this radiation has escaped,” said Pierre-Alain Duc, an astrophysicist at the CEA. This large amount of dust leaves suggest that elements heavier than helium and hydrogen were much more common than previously thought in the early Universe. The oldest itself seems immersed in a similar cloud of material.

“We are reaching the limits of current instruments”

other hand, our most distant cosmic ancestor is also distinguished by its high activity. “It forms a hundred times more stars than our Milky Way, says the researcher. This is the first time that this distant galaxy as such a rate of star formation. “However, the current cosmological models struggle to explain the presence of so many heavy elements and a large activity of galaxies.

However, the revision of the models will not happen immediately. It will take these results are confirmed by further steps and similar comments on other very distant galaxies. But the race these old galaxies becomes increasingly complicated. “We are reaching the limits of current instruments,” says François Hammer, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory. New instruments, including the future James Webb Space Telescope or E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope), are expected to continue this work in space archeology.

To date, only one more distant astronomical object that this galaxy has been identified as a surprise star exploding. The associated flash was issued only 625 million years after the birth of the universe. This star was probably part of a galaxy, but it has never been observed. And do not (yet) been able to reveal its secrets.

Orange: almost all of the fiber network is deployed in Grenoble - Boursier.com

(Boursier.com) – In Grenoble, the first work on the fiber began in 2008. Five years later, nearly 100% of the fiber network was deployed in the city. “I am very pleased to reaffirm that Orange on its commitments: the fiber is now a reality in Grenoble This city, whose tradition of innovation is rooted in its history and its size. current economic, now has the best high speed broadband networks with fiber and 4G, “said Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange.

Thus, 104,500 homes have fiber in office buildings and 44,000 homes have access to fiber in their building. Deployment continues with the help of social and private donors. Orange will gradually connect the small buildings and houses of the city of Grenoble.

the Grenoble area, Orange has deployed Very High Speed ??in 6 towns in dense areas (areas defined by ARCEP). Furthermore Grenoble, common Echirolles, Pont de Claix, Saint Martin d’Heres, Seyssinet-Pariset and Meylan are concerned. In the town of Grenoble, the fiber is now available highstreet to 132,400 units. Further deployments are also underway in the villages of Fontaine and Sassenage. And soon the cities of Saint-Martin and Saint Vinoux the Egreve.

2020, Orange will cover the 27 municipalities of the Metro, the cities of Voiron and Bourgoin and 18 municipalities of the Urban Community of Vienne region, totaling 47% of households in the Isère.

Discovery of the oldest known galaxy so far - TF1

class=”title SZ11 c7″> The most distant galaxy ever observed in the Universe. / Credits: NASA / ESA / H. Ebeling (University of Hawaii)

His code name is z8_GND_5296. This series of letters and numbers means the most distant galaxy ever observed in the Universe. The discovery of this galaxy is recounted in an article published this week in the journal Nature, a first report is already available in English. Its light has taken about 13.1 billion years to reach Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii. This allows to extend the observation of the universe 700 million years after the birth of the Universe.
Astronomers led to the discovery explain that this galaxy is about billion times more massive than the sun. It has two unusual characteristics that could explain why it is brighter and therefore more visible than other galaxies. It not only generates stars at a very rapid pace, about 100 times higher than our galaxy, the Milky Way. But it contains a very high percentage of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium by nuclear fusion inside stars.

launch the successor to Hubble in 2018

So scientists think that the galaxy may contain the remains from the explosion of many massive stars or while it is formed in a region of space which was littered with the remains of a previous generation of stars. “It could be that this galaxy is in a surdense region (ionized hydrogen), so that we see (…) but it is a part of the conjecture. For what we know, other galaxies are much more hydrogen gas inside the galaxies themselves and that is why we can not see, “said Steven Finkelstein, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin.

For more details on z8_GND_5296, it will probably wait for the activation of the successor to Hubble, the James Webb Space Telescope, which is scheduled for launch in 2018.

few days before his arch-rival Apple, Samsung (Electronics), now an undisputed world leader in mobile phones, announced its financial results for the third quarter. Despite the decline in performance in smartphones, as related to an energy boost its main competitors as market saturation, its good performance in the field of memory cards partly offset the slight degradation.

but moderate Record

Thus, the net profit for the period from July to September is stood up by 25.6% to 8,240 billion won, or 5.6 billion euros, against 6,560 billion won a year earlier, a slower than the previous quarter growth rate almost twice.
sales rose 13.2% to 59,000 billion won (€ 40.2 billion). Operating profit amounted to 10,160 billion won in the meantime, up 26% over one year when he was jumped by 47.5% in the second quarter.

Slow sales

These results are consistent with the predictions of group faces in smartphones, a market saturation on the high end, the margins of the division also progressing more rapidly as a result of a slowdown in sales of its flagship device, the Galaxy S. Analysts believe that Samsung has elapsed between 85 and 89 million smartphones during the period.

However

Samsung manages to maintain its position as number one in the sector because, unlike his great rival, the American Apple, its range of smartphones also includes medium-end devices at more affordable prices. The downside, these phones lessen the overall performance of the group and the mobile division whose operating margin is displayed slightly lower, at 18.3% against 18.8% in the second quarter.

Galaxy S4, the Korean bestseller, is slowing.

In total, the group has limited costs due to higher prices of memory chips and semiconductors. The turnover of the division increased by 12% to 9,740 billion won and an operating profit doubled to 2.60 billion, more than 20% of total operating income. “We expect an increase in demand in the next quarter due to favorable seasonal conditions (shopping season) , but the persistence of macroeconomic instability and increased competition will continue to weigh “, said Robert Yi, vice president of Samsung, said in a statement

Rumors published by Billboard, YouTube is preparing a music service streaming video which should be available before the end of 2013. In the way of Netflix for video, YouTube would offer music videos on demand.

music streaming has the wind in its sails. Deezer, Spotify or Google Music Beat embarked on this niche. There is also Netflix wants to offer video on demand. YouTube could be a mix of both a service offering music video on demand. This service could be created by the end of 2013. Note that many companies in the world of multimedia and the Internet want to position themselves in this market, which is booming.

According to Billboard

Why Google wants to launch a second streaming service ... - 20minutes.fr

rumored for months. But this time, it is almost, according to Billboard: YouTube could launch a paid service music streaming audio and video, potentially before the end of the year. Explanations.

cohabitation Android and Chrome OS proves Google is not afraid duplicates. The new service would compete directly with Google Music, but according to the details provided by Billboard, it would not address exactly the same audience. Google Music is first born as a space in the cloud to store his personal collection and access for all terminals. Google has subsequently added a paid streaming option on the model of Spotify, but in the absence of official figures, service, primarily integrated Android is not yet a smash hit.

one billion unique visitors

On paper, the power of the brand “YouTube”, however, is phenomenal: the total of one billion unique visitors per month and over six billion hours of video are watched per month, a good portion of clips musical. Except that there is rarely full albums. Propose a paid service would allow YouTube to obtain the rights to offer a full range audio and video mixing before Beats Electronics does not launch. And while the pub is still not as well tolerated mobile premium service could offset the expected decline in advertising revenue on desktop.

This is one of the most acclaimed of the Apple keynote announcements, last Tuesday: Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks is available for free download on the App Store, for those who have purchased a Mac from 2007. Good news – I must say that the room of the keynote was not really filled with Apple detractors

To find the right idea to go back often ask Linus Torvalds. More eloquent than Google, less attached to a corporate line that Microsoft, the main maintainer of the Linux kernel is never unhappy to tap one of its competitors, which appears prominently Apple.

Free or free

Especially if it is a potential victim of a free proprietary operating system, it is Linux and GNU / Linux distributions using kernel. No need to remind you that free is not automatic for these distributions, and the “free software” translates better as free as free.

But Linus Torvalds, who was speaking at a session of questions and answers at the LinuxCon Europe in Edinburgh on Wednesday, Apple’s decision has nothing to do with the philosophy of Linux, says PC World.

upgrade to Mavericks may be free, but it is not open source, a term that the founder of the Linux kernel prefers to disambiguate. “The fact that Apple gives its OS is absolutely irrelevant.” More importantly, he adds, “I do not think it will impact Linux at all.”

“deep rooting among developers”

Linus Torvalds also believes that Linux does not need him anymore. Even if he has to stay in the game as long as possible, he thinks his death or withdrawal of the project would not prevent Linux to continue. “We have an extremely deep roots among developers.”

This would ensure, for him, the continuity of the project if it were to get out. “I am the person that people know and know how I work. This means they do not always like what I do or how I present things, but they can trust me to act a certain way, and that is what is important. ” For the rest, he said to trust the community.
