Lonecat in Orbit 15 |
 |
THIS IS Lonecat again reporting from Earth orbit and having a busy time keeping up with events in Space, particularly in the Earth-Moon system and in the Saturnian system. The big event this last week was the change of orbit of the indian moon craft Chandrayaan 1, when it switched from its expanding orbit of Earth to one around the Moon. Now, this lunar orbit will gradually be reduced in height until it becomes circular and very close to the lunar surface. Meanwhile, Cassini is busy at Saturn taking some spectacular photographs of the moon, Enceladus's south polar region. You can read more about these events by scrolling down this page.
Meanwhile, I am beginning to get "cabin fever" out here all alone in orbit and I am missing the mountains, hills and seas of Earth. I really hope that the Book of Thoth will manage to provide the "BoT OSV" the space vehicle in which I am currently swinging around the Earth, with this new magnetic shield which will give me better protection against solar radiation. To find out more about that, read this next article:

Lonecat in Orbit 13 |
|
By Lonecat
Hello again from Lonecat out here in orbit. This week, because of some technical problems I have experienced over the last eight days I'm afraid that the material, or some of it at least, is a bit on the out-of-date side but I hope that, by next week, things will be back, more or less, to normal.
They say that the truth is out here, but you know, the more I think about it, the more I become convinced that the Truth is everywhere. It depends on one’s interpretation. With the “attitude” of this space vehicle stabilized, everything outside the observation port seems to be either motionless or to be moving in very gradual stateliness and yet everything is “really” moving at a rate of thousands of mile/kms. an hour. When we see astronauts going about their work outside the space shuttle or on the Hubble space telescope there is no sense of the enormity of the velocity that those objects, including the astronauts themselves, are travelling at in their orbits around the Earth.
