With the aim of making the best possible use of existing satellites, ESA and Canada have made a deal that turns Swarm into a four-satellite mission to shed even more light on space weather and features such as the aurora borealis.

In orbit since 2013, ESA’s three identical Swarm satellites have been returning a wealth of information about how our magnetic field is generated and how it protects us from dangerous electrically charged atomic particles in the solar wind.

Canada’s Cassiope satellite carries three instrument packages, one of which is e-POP.  It delivers information on space weather which complements that provided by Swarm. Therefore, the mission teams began looking into how they could work together to make the most of the two missions.

To make life easier, it also just so happens that Cassiope’s orbit is ideal to improve Swarm’s readings.

And now, thanks to this international cooperation and formalised through ESA’s Third Party Mission programme, e-POP has effectively become a fourth element of the Swarm mission. It joins Swarm’s Alpha, Bravo and Charlie satellites as Echo.
Cassiope carries e-POP

Josef Aschbacher, ESA’s Director of Earth Observation Programmes, noted, “This is a textbook example of how virtual constellations and collaborative initiatives can be realised, even deep into the missions’ exploitation phases.

“We embrace the opportunity to include e-POP in the Swarm mission, especially because it is clear that the more data we get, the better the picture we have of complex space weather dynamics.

“ESA is looking forward to seeing the fruits of this collaboration and the improved return on investment for both Europe and Canada.”

Andrew Yau from the University of Calgary added, “Swarm and e-POP have several unique measurement capabilities that are highly complementary.

“By integrating e-POP into the Swarm constellation, the international scientific community will be able to pursue a host of new scientific investigations into magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling, including Earth’s magnetic field and related current systems, upper-atmospheric dynamics and aurora dynamics.”
Birkeland currents

John Manuel from the Canadian Space Agency noted, “We are pleased to see e-POP join ESA’s three Swarm satellites in their quest to unravel the mysteries of Earth's magnetic field.

“Together, they will further improve our understanding of Earth's magnetic field and role it plays in shielding Canada and the world from the effects of space weather.”

Giuseppe Ottavianelli, Third-Party Mission Manager at ESA concluded, “I am pleased that the e-POP ensemble is now formally integrated into our Swarm constellation.

“This milestone achievement confirms the essential role of ESA’s Earthnet programme, enabling synergies across missions, fostering international cooperation, and supporting data access.”

While e-POP changes its name to Echo as part of the Swarm mission, it will also continue to provide information for its original science investigations.

LE SYSTEME SOLAIRE ET LE COUPLE.
Axel Bauer, Zazie - A Ma Place...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOznRtE4fOg

The horizon or skyline is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon. When looking at a sea from a shore, the part of the sea closest to the horizon is called the offing.[1] The word horizon derives from the Greek "ὁρίζων κύκλος" horizōn kyklos, "separating circle",[2] from the verb ὁρίζω horizō, "to divide", "to separate",[3] and that from "ὅρος" (oros), "boundary, landmark".[4]

Dans peu de temps, quelque deux ou trois cents ans, on considérera notre vie actuelle avec terreur et dérision, tout ce qui existe aujourd'hui paraîtra maladroit, lourd, très inconfortable, et étrange.

Seven Ways Mars InSight is Different

NASA's Mars InSight lander team is preparing to ship the spacecraft from Lockheed Martin Space in Denver, where it was built and tested, to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, where it will become the first interplanetary mission to launch from the West Coast. The project is led by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

We know what "The Red Planet" looks like from the outside -- but what's going on under the surface of Mars? Find out more in the 60-second video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

NASA has a long and successful track record at Mars. Since 1965, it has flown by, orbited, landed and roved across the surface of the Red Planet. What can InSight -- planned for launch in May -- do that hasn't been done before?

InSight is the first mission to study the deep interior of Mars.

A dictionary definition of "insight" is to see the inner nature of something. InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) will do just that. InSight will take the "vital signs" of Mars: its pulse (seismology), temperature (heat flow), and its reflexes (radio science). It will be the first thorough check-up since the planet formed 4.5 billion years ago.

InSight will teach us about planets like our own.

InSight's team hopes that by studying the deep interior of Mars, we can learn how other rocky planets form. Earth and Mars were molded from the same primordial stuff more than 4 billion years ago, but then became quite different. Why didn't they share the same fate?

When it comes to rocky planets, we've only studied one in great detail: Earth. By comparing Earth's interior to that of Mars, InSight's team hopes to better understand our solar system. What they learn might even aid the search for Earth-like exoplanets, narrowing down which ones might be able to support life. So while InSight is a Mars mission, it's also more than a Mars mission.

InSight will try to detect marsquakes for the first time.

One key way InSight will peer into the Martian interior is by studying motion underground -- what we know as marsquakes. NASA has not attempted to do this kind of science since the Viking mission. Both Viking landers had their seismometers on top of the spacecraft, where they produced noisy data. InSight's seismometer will be placed directly on the Martian surface, which will provide much cleaner data.

Scientists have seen a lot of evidence suggesting Mars has quakes. But unlike quakes on Earth, which are mostly caused by tectonic plates moving around, marsquakes would be caused by other types of tectonic activity, such as volcanism and cracks forming in the planet's crust. In addition, meteor impacts can create seismic waves, which InSight will try to detect.

Each marsquake would be like a flashbulb that illuminates the structure of the planet's interior. By studying how seismic waves pass through the different layers of the planet (the crust, mantle and core), scientists can deduce the depths of these layers and what they're made of. In this way, seismology is like taking an X-ray of the interior of Mars.

Scientists think it's likely they'll see between a dozen and a hundred marsquakes over the course of two Earth years. The quakes are likely to be no bigger than a 6.0 on the Richter scale, which would be plenty of energy for revealing secrets about the planet's interior.

First interplanetary launch from the West Coast

All of NASA's interplanetary launches to date have been from Florida, in part because the physics of launching off the East Coast are better for journeys to other planets. But InSight will break the mold by launching from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It will be the first launch to another planet from the West Coast.

InSight will ride on top of a powerful Atlas V 401 rocket, which allows for a planetary trajectory to Mars from either coast. Vandenberg was ultimately chosen because it had more availability during InSight's launch period.

A whole new region will get to see an interplanetary launch when InSight rockets into the sky. In a clear, pre-dawn sky, the launch may be visible in California from Santa Maria to San Diego.

First interplanetary CubeSat

The rocket that will loft InSight beyond Earth will also launch a separate NASA technology experiment: two mini-spacecraft called Mars Cube One, or MarCO. These briefcase-sized CubeSats will fly on their own path to Mars behind InSight.

Their objective is to relay back InSight data as it enters the Martian atmosphere and lands. It will be a first test of miniaturized CubeSat technology at another planet, which researchers hope can offer new capabilities to future missions.

If successful, the MarCOs could represent a new kind of data relay to Earth. InSight's success is independent of its CubeSat tag-alongs.

InSight could teach us how Martian volcanoes were formed.

Mars is home to some impressive volcanic features. That includes Tharsis -- a plateau with some of the biggest volcanoes in the solar system. Heat escaping from deep within the planet drives the formation of these types of features, as well as many others on rocky planets. InSight includes a self-hammering heat probe that will burrow down to 16 feet (5 meters) into the Martian soil to measure the heat flow from the planet's interior for the first time. Combining the rate of heat flow with other InSight data will reveal how energy within the planet drives changes on the surface.

Mars is a time machine

Studying Mars lets us travel to the ancient past. While Earth and Venus have tectonic systems that have destroyed most of the evidence of their early history, much of the Red Planet has remained static for more than 3 billion years. Because Mars is just one-third the size of Earth and Venus, it contains less energy to power the processes that change a planet's structure. That makes it a fossil planet in many ways, with the secrets of our solar system's early history locked deep inside.

Looking Deep: The InSight Mission to Mars

February 23

The InSight mission, scheduled to launch in May, 2018, will be the first NASA mission to observe the deep interior of Mars. Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury are as similar as they are different, and the view granted by our human and robotic eyes only scratches the surface. By sending instruments that can teach us about the interior of Mars, we learn about the history and evolution of all these familiar planets. The instruments InSight will bring to Elysium Planitia are conceptually simple, yet also sensitive, delicate, and complex. The spacecraft itself uses proven hardware from previous missions to Mars’ surface, but also features new activities crucial to the success of InSight science.

Come dig deep into the workings of Earth’s next trip to the Red Planet. InSight (Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport) is a mission in NASA’s Discovery Program. It is led by Principal Investigator, Dr. Bruce Banerdt, and is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). InSight is a collaborative partnership of NASA, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Cetre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) of France, and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR).

Historically, the distance to the visible horizon has long been vital to survival and successful navigation, especially at sea, because it determined an observer's maximum range of vision and thus of communication, with all the obvious consequences for safety and the transmission of information that this range implied.

KIRA, Y'BECCA, L'INFINI, LE MOUVEMENT, L'HORIZON ET LE TEMPS Empty
MessageSujet: Re: KIRA, Y'BECCA, L'INFINI, LE MOUVEMENT, L'HORIZON ET LE TEMPS   KIRA, Y'BECCA, L'INFINI, LE MOUVEMENT, L'HORIZON ET LE TEMPS EmptySam 24 Fév à 4:00

Conceptuellement, l’horizon est la limite de ce que l'on peut observer, du fait de sa propre position ou situation. Ce concept simple se décline en physique, philosophie, communication, et bien d'autres domaines :

This importance lessened with the development of the radio and the telegraph, but even today, when flying an aircraft under visual flight rules, a technique called attitude flying is used to control the aircraft, where the pilot uses the visual relationship between the aircraft's nose and the horizon to control the aircraft. A pilot can also retain his or her spatial orientation by referring to the horizon.

In many contexts, especially perspective drawing, the curvature of the Earth is disregarded and the horizon is considered the theoretical line to which points on any horizontal plane converge (when projected onto the picture plane) as their distance from the observer increases. For observers near sea level the difference between this geometrical horizon (which assumes a perfectly flat, infinite ground plane) and the true horizon (which assumes a spherical Earth surface) is imperceptible to the naked eye[dubious – discuss] (but for someone on a 1000-meter hill looking out to sea the true horizon will be about a degree below a horizontal line).

In astronomy the horizon is the horizontal plane through the eyes of the observer. It is the fundamental plane of the horizontal coordinate system, the locus of points that have an altitude of zero degrees. While similar in ways to the geometrical horizon, in this context a horizon may be considered to be a plane in space, rather than a line on a picture plane.
Distance to the horizon

One typically sees further along the Earth's curved surface than a simple geometric calculation allows for because of refraction error. If the ground, or water, surface is colder than the air above it, a cold, dense layer of air forms close to the surface, causing light to be refracted downward as it travels, and therefore, to some extent, to go around the curvature of the Earth. The reverse happens if the ground is hotter than the air above it, as often happens in deserts, producing mirages. As an approximate compensation for refraction, surveyors measuring distances longer than 300 feet subtract 14% from the calculated curvature error and ensure lines of sight are at least 5 feet from the ground, to reduce random errors created by refraction.
Typical desert horizon

However, ignoring the effect of atmospheric refraction, distance to the horizon from an observer close to the Earth's surface is about[5]

d ≈ 3.57 h , {\displaystyle d\approx 3.57{\sqrt {h}}\,,} d \approx 3.57\sqrt{h} \,,

where d is in kilometres and h is height above ground level in metres. The constant 3.57 has units of km/m½.

Examples:

For an observer standing on the ground with h = 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi).
For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 metres (6 ft 7 in), the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi).
For an observer standing on a hill or tower of 100 metres (330 ft) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 36 kilometres (22 mi).
For an observer standing at the top of the Burj Khalifa (828 metres (2,717 ft) in height), the horizon is at a distance of 103 kilometres (64 mi).
For an observer atop Mount Everest (8,848 metres (29,029 ft) in altitude), the horizon is at a distance of 336 kilometres (209 mi).

With d in miles (i.e. "land miles" of 5,280 feet (1,609.344 m)[5]) and h in feet,

d ≈ 1.5 h ≈ 1.22 h . {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {1.5h}}\approx 1.22{\sqrt {h}}\,.} {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {1.5h}}\approx 1.22{\sqrt {h}}\,.}

Where the constant 1.22 has units of mi/ft½. Examples, assuming no refraction:

For an observer on the ground with eye level at h = 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), the horizon is at a distance of 2.9 miles (4.7 km).
For an observer standing on a hill or tower 100 feet (30 m) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 12.2 miles (19.6 km).
For an observer on the summit of Aconcagua (22,841 feet (6,962 m) in height), the sea-level horizon to the west is at a distance of 184 miles (296 km).
For a U-2 pilot, whilst flying at its service ceiling 70,000 feet (21,000 m), the horizon is at a distance of 324 miles (521 km)

Other planets

On terrestrial planets and other solid celestial bodies with negligible atmospheric effects, the distance to the horizon for a "standard observer" varies as the square root of the planet's radius. Thus, the horizon on Mercury is 62% as far away from the observer as it is on Earth, on Mars the figure is 73%, on the Moon the figure is 52%, on Mimas the figure is 18%, and so on.
Geometrical model
Geometrical basis for calculating the distance to the horizon, secant tangent theorem
Geometrical distance to the horizon, Pythagorean theorem
Three types of horizon

If the Earth is assumed to be a featureless sphere (rather than an oblate spheroid) with no atmospheric refraction, then the distance to the horizon can easily be calculated.[6]

The secant-tangent theorem states that

O C 2 = O A × O B . {\displaystyle \mathrm {OC} ^{2}=\mathrm {OA} \times \mathrm {OB} \,.} \mathrm{OC}^2 = \mathrm{OA} \times \mathrm{OB} \,.

Make the following substitutions:

d = OC = distance to the horizon
D = AB = diameter of the Earth
h = OB = height of the observer above sea level
D+h = OA = diameter of the Earth plus height of the observer above sea level

The formula now becomes

d 2 = h ( D + h ) {\displaystyle d^{2}=h(D+h)\,\!} d^2 = h(D+h)\,\!

or

d = h ( D + h ) = h ( 2 R + h ) , {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {h(D+h)}}={\sqrt {h(2R+h)}}\,,} d = \sqrt{h(D+h)} =\sqrt{h(2R+h)}\,,

where R is the radius of the Earth.

The equation can also be derived using the Pythagorean theorem. Since the line of sight is a tangent to the Earth, it is perpendicular to the radius at the horizon. This sets up a right triangle, with the sum of the radius and the height as the hypotenuse. With

d = distance to the horizon
h = height of the observer above sea level
R = radius of the Earth

referring to the second figure at the right leads to the following:

( R + h ) 2 = R 2 + d 2 {\displaystyle (R+h)^{2}=R^{2}+d^{2}\,\!} (R+h)^2 = R^2 + d^2 \,\!
R 2 + 2 R h + h 2 = R 2 + d 2 {\displaystyle R^{2}+2Rh+h^{2}=R^{2}+d^{2}\,\!} R^2 + 2Rh + h^2 = R^2 + d^2 \,\!
d = h ( 2 R + h ) . {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {h(2R+h)}}\,.} d = \sqrt{h(2R + h)} \,.

Another relationship involves the distance s along the curved surface of the Earth to the horizon; with γ in radians,

s = R γ ; {\displaystyle s=R\gamma \,;} s = R \gamma \,;

then

cos ⁡ γ = cos ⁡ s R = R R + h . {\displaystyle \cos \gamma =\cos {\frac {s}{R}}={\frac {R}{R+h}}\,.} \cos \gamma = \cos\frac{s}{R}=\frac{R}{R+h}\,.

Solving for s gives

s = R cos − 1 ⁡ R R + h . {\displaystyle s=R\cos ^{-1}{\frac {R}{R+h}}\,.} s=R\cos^{-1}\frac{R}{R+h} \,.

The distance s can also be expressed in terms of the line-of-sight distance d; from the second figure at the right,

tan ⁡ γ = d R ; {\displaystyle \tan \gamma ={\frac {d}{R}}\,;} \tan \gamma = \frac {d} {R} \,;

substituting for γ and rearranging gives

s = R tan − 1 ⁡ d R . {\displaystyle s=R\tan ^{-1}{\frac {d}{R}}\,.} s=R\tan^{-1}\frac{d}{R} \,.

The distances d and s are nearly the same when the height of the object is negligible compared to the radius (that is, h ≪ R).

If the observer is close to the surface of the earth, then it is valid to disregard h in the term (2R + h), and the formula becomes-

d = 2 R h . {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {2Rh}}\,.} d = \sqrt{2Rh} \,.

Using kilometres for d and R, and metres for h, and taking the radius of the Earth as 6371 km, the distance to the horizon is

d ≈ 2 ⋅ 6371 ⋅ h / 1000 ≈ 3.570 h , {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {2\cdot 6371\cdot {h/1000}}}\approx 3.570{\sqrt {h}}\,,} d \approx \sqrt{2\cdot6371\cdot{h/1000}} \approx 3.570\sqrt{h} \,,.

Using imperial units, with d and R in statute miles (as commonly used on land), and h in feet, the distance to the horizon is

d ≈ 2 ⋅ 3963 ⋅ h / 5280 ≈ 1.5 h ≈ 1.22 h {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {2\cdot 3963\cdot {h/5280}}}\approx {\sqrt {1.5h}}\approx 1.22{\sqrt {h}}} {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {2\cdot 3963\cdot {h/5280}}}\approx {\sqrt {1.5h}}\approx 1.22{\sqrt {h}}}.

If d is in nautical miles, and h in feet, the constant factor is about 1.06, which is close enough to 1 that it is often ignored, giving:

d ≈ h {\displaystyle d\approx {\sqrt {h}}} d \approx \sqrt h

These formulas may be used when h is much smaller than the radius of the Earth (6371 km or 3959 mi), including all views from any mountaintops, airplanes, or high-altitude balloons. With the constants as given, both the metric and imperial formulas are precise to within 1% (see the next section for how to obtain greater precision).
Exact formula for a spherical Earth

If h is significant with respect to R, as with most satellites, then the approximation made previously is no longer valid, and the exact formula is required:

d = 2 R h + h 2 , {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {2Rh+h^{2}}}\,,} d = \sqrt{2Rh + h^2} \,,

where R is the radius of the Earth (R and h must be in the same units). For example, if a satellite is at a height of 2000 km, the distance to the horizon is 5,430 kilometres (3,370 mi); neglecting the second term in parentheses would give a distance of 5,048 kilometres (3,137 mi), a 7% error.
Objects above the horizon
Geometrical horizon distance

To compute the greatest distance at which an observer can see the top of an object above the horizon, compute the distance to the horizon for a hypothetical observer on top of that object, and add it to the real observer's distance to the horizon. For example, for an observer with a height of 1.70 m standing on the ground, the horizon is 4.65 km away. For a tower with a height of 100 m, the horizon distance is 35.7 km. Thus an observer on a beach can see the top of the tower as long as it is not more than 40.35 km away. Conversely, if an observer on a boat (h = 1.7 m) can just see the tops of trees on a nearby shore (h = 10 m), the trees are probably about 16 km away.

Referring to the figure at the right, the top of the lighthouse will be visible to a lookout in a crow's nest at the top of a mast of the boat if

D B L < 3.57 ( h B + h L ) , {\displaystyle D_{\mathrm {BL} }<3.57\,({\sqrt {h_{\mathrm {B} }}}+{\sqrt {h_{\mathrm {L} }}})\,,} D_\mathrm{BL} < 3.57\,(\sqrt{h_\mathrm{B}} + \sqrt{h_\mathrm{L}}) \,,

where DBL is in kilometres and hB and hL are in metres.
A view across a 20-km-wide bay in the coast of Spain. Note the curvature of the Earth hiding the base of the buildings on the far shore.

As another example, suppose an observer, whose eyes are two metres above the level ground, uses binoculars to look at a distant building which he knows to consist of thirty storeys, each 3.5 metres high. He counts the storeys he can see, and finds there are only ten. So twenty storeys or 70 metres of the building are hidden from him by the curvature of the Earth. From this, he can calculate his distance from the building:

D ≈ 3.57 ( 2 + 70 ) {\displaystyle D\approx 3.57({\sqrt {2}}+{\sqrt {70}})} D \approx 3.57(\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{70})

which comes to about 35 kilometres.

It is similarly possible to calculate how much of a distant object is visible above the horizon. Suppose an observer's eye is 10 metres above sea level, and he is watching a ship that is 20 km away. His horizon is:

3.57 10 {\displaystyle 3.57{\sqrt {10}}} 3.57 \sqrt{10}

kilometres from him, which comes to about 11.3 kilometres away. The ship is a further 8.7 km away. The height of a point on the ship that is just visible to the observer is given by:

h ≈ ( 8.7 3.57 ) 2 {\displaystyle h\approx \left({\frac {8.7}{3.57}}\right)^{2}} h\approx\left(\frac{8.7}{3.57}\right)^2

which comes to almost exactly six metres. The observer can therefore see that part of the ship that is more than six metres above the level of the water. The part of the ship that is below this height is hidden from him by the curvature of the Earth. In this situation, the ship is said to be hull-down.
Effect of atmospheric refraction

If the Earth were an airless world like the Moon, the above calculations would be accurate. However, Earth has an atmosphere of air, whose density and refractive index vary considerably depending on the temperature and pressure. This makes the air refract light to varying extents, affecting the appearance of the horizon. Usually, the density of the air just above the surface of the Earth is greater than its density at greater altitudes. This makes its refractive index greater near the surface than at higher altitudes, which causes light that is travelling roughly horizontally to be refracted downward.[7] This makes the actual distance to the horizon greater than the distance calculated with geometrical formulas. With standard atmospheric conditions, the difference is about 8%.[citation needed] This changes the factor of 3.57, in the metric formulas used above, to about 3.86. This correction can be, and often is, applied as a fairly good approximation when conditions are close to standard. When conditions are unusual, this approximation fails. Refraction is strongly affected by temperature gradients, which can vary considerably from day to day, especially over water. In extreme cases, usually in springtime, when warm air overlies cold water, refraction can allow light to follow the Earth's surface for hundreds of kilometres. Opposite conditions occur, for example, in deserts, where the surface is very hot, so hot, low-density air is below cooler air. This causes light to be refracted upward, causing mirage effects that make the concept of the horizon somewhat meaningless. Calculated values for the effects of refraction under unusual conditions are therefore only approximate.[5] Nevertheless, attempts have been made to calculate them more accurately than the simple approximation described above.

Outside the visual wavelength range, refraction will be different. For radar (e.g. for wavelengths 300 to 3 mm i.e. frequencies between 1 and 100 GHz) the radius of the Earth may be multiplied by 4/3 to obtain an effective radius giving a factor of 4.12 in the metric formula i.e. the radar horizon will be 15% beyond the geometrical horizon or 7% beyond the visual. The 4/3 factor is not exact, as in the visual case the refraction depends on atmospheric conditions.

Integration method—Sweer

If the density profile of the atmosphere is known, the distance d to the horizon is given by[8]

d = R E ( ψ + δ ) , {\displaystyle d={{R}_{\text{E}}}\left(\psi +\delta \right)\,,} d={{R}_{\text{E}}}\left( \psi +\delta \right) \,,

where RE is the radius of the Earth, ψ is the dip of the horizon and δ is the refraction of the horizon. The dip is determined fairly simply from

cos ⁡ ψ = R E μ 0 ( R E + h ) μ , {\displaystyle \cos \psi ={\frac {{R}_{\text{E}}{\mu }_{0}}{\left({{R}_{\text{E}}}+h\right)\mu }}\,,} \cos \psi = \frac{{R}_{\text{E}}{\mu}_{0}}{\left( {{R}_{\text{E}}}+h \right)\mu } \,,

where h is the observer's height above the Earth, μ is the index of refraction of air at the observer's height, and μ0 is the index of refraction of air at Earth's surface.

The refraction must be found by integration of

δ = − ∫ 0 h tan ⁡ ϕ d μ μ , {\displaystyle \delta =-\int _{0}^{h}{\tan \phi {\frac {{\text{d}}\mu }{\mu }}}\,,} \delta =-\int_{0}^{h}{\tan \phi \frac{\text{d}\mu }{\mu }} \,,

where ϕ {\displaystyle \phi \,\!} \phi \,\! is the angle between the ray and a line through the center of the Earth. The angles ψ and ϕ {\displaystyle \phi \,\!} \phi \,\! are related by

ϕ = 90 ∘ − ψ . {\displaystyle \phi =90{}^{\circ }-\psi \,.} \phi =90{}^\circ -\psi \,.

Simple method—Young

A much simpler approach, which produces essentially the same results as the first-order approximation described above, uses the geometrical model but uses a radius R′ = 7/6 RE. The distance to the horizon is then[5]

d = 2 R ′ h . {\displaystyle d={\sqrt {2R^{\prime }h}}\,.} d=\sqrt{2 R^\prime h} \,.

Taking the radius of the Earth as 6371 km, with d in km and h in m,

d ≈ 3.86 h ; {\displaystyle d\approx 3.86{\sqrt {h}}\,;} d \approx 3.86 \sqrt{h} \,;

with d in mi and h in ft,

d ≈ 1.32 h . {\displaystyle d\approx 1.32{\sqrt {h}}\,.} d \approx 1.32 \sqrt{h} \,.

Results from Young's method are quite close to those from Sweer's method, and are sufficiently accurate for many purposes.

The curvature of the horizon is easily seen in this photograph, taken from a space shuttle at an altitude of 226 km in 2008.

From a point above the surface the horizon appears slightly bent (it is a circle). There is a basic geometrical relationship between this visual curvature κ {\displaystyle \kappa } \kappa , the altitude h {\displaystyle h} h, and the Earth's radius R {\displaystyle R} R, . It is

κ = ( 1 + h R ) 2 − 1 . {\displaystyle \kappa ={\sqrt {\left(1+{\frac {h}{R}}\right)^{2}-1}}\ .} \kappa=\sqrt{\left(1+\frac{h}{R}\right)^2-1}\ .

The curvature is the reciprocal of the curvature angular radius in radians. A curvature of 1 appears as a circle of an angular radius of 57.3° corresponding to an altitude of approximately 2640 km above the Earth's surface. At an altitude of 10 km (33,000 ft, the typical cruising altitude of an airliner) the mathematical curvature of the horizon is about 0.056, the same curvature of the rim of circle with a radius of 10 m that is viewed from 56 cm directly above the center of the circle. However, the apparent curvature is less than that due to refraction of light in the atmosphere and because the horizon is often masked by high cloud layers that reduce the altitude above the visual surface.
Vanishing points
Two points on the horizon are at the intersections of the lines extending the segments representing the edges of the building in the foreground. The horizon line coincides here with the line at the top of the doors and windows.
Main article: Vanishing point

The horizon is a key feature of the picture plane in the science of graphical perspective. Assuming the picture plane stands vertical to ground, and P is the perpendicular projection of the eye point O on the picture plane, the horizon is defined as the horizontal line through P. The point P is the vanishing point of lines perpendicular to the picture. If S is another point on the horizon, then it is the vanishing point for all lines parallel to OS. But Brook Taylor (1719) indicated that the horizon plane determined by O and the horizon was like any other plane:

The term of Horizontal Line, for instance, is apt to confine the Notions of a Learner to the Plane of the Horizon, and to make him imagine, that that Plane enjoys some particular Privileges, which make the Figures in it more easy and more convenient to be described, by the means of that Horizontal Line, than the Figures in any other plane;…But in this Book I make no difference between the Plane of the Horizon, and any other Plane whatsoever...[9][10]

The peculiar geometry of perspective where parallel lines converge in the distance, stimulated the development of projective geometry which posits a point at infinity where parallel lines meet. In her book Geometry of an Art (2007), Kirsti Andersen described the evolution of perspective drawing and science up to 1800, noting that vanishing points need not be on the horizon. In a chapter titled "Horizon", John Stillwell recounted how projective geometry has led to incidence geometry, the modern abstract study of line intersection. Stillwell also ventured into foundations of mathematics in a section titled "What are the Laws of Algebra ?" The "algebra of points", originally given by Karl von Staudt deriving the axioms of a field was deconstructed in the twentieth century, yielding a wide variety of mathematical possibilities. Stillwell states

This discovery from 100 years ago seems capable of turning mathematics upside down, though it has not yet been fully absorbed by the mathematical community. Not only does it defy the trend of turning geometry into algebra, it suggests that both geometry and algebra have a simpler foundation than previously thought.[11]

---------------------------

22 February 2018

Until now, if you’re an entrepreneur planning future missions beyond Earth, you’d have to ask a big space agency to borrow their deep-space antennas. Now, thanks to the UK’s county of Cornwall and ESA, you’ll have a commercial option, too.

If you’re planning on flying a robotic or even human mission in the near future to the Moon, an asteroid or even Mars, one indispensable requirement you’ll face is the need for at least one deep-space tracking dish to communicate with your craft.

Today, however, there’s no commercial deep-space service available to rent – and building a new station from scratch all on your own is rather pricey, although would be justified for a spacecraft travelling to exotic locations like Jupiter.

ESA has three deep-space dishes, in Australia, Spain and Argentina, that provide leading-edge performance and full-sky coverage for tracking and communicating with missions like Mars Express, Gaia and ExoMars.
BepiColombo at Mercury

Later this year, they will add the new BepiColombo mission to Mercury and, in the near future, ESA’s Solar Orbiter, Euclid and Cheops.

“The amount of science data flowing in from ESA’s current missions, not to mention from future missions with improved instruments, is growing strongly,” says ESA’s Pier Bargellini, responsible for network operations.

“By the middle of the next decade, ESA’s deep-space communication needs for supporting today’s missions, like ExoMars, and upcoming spacecraft, like Juice, is expected to exceed our present capacity by around half.

“We are considering urgently how to bridge this gap.”

This is why ESA engineering teams are excited by a new initiative aimed at redeveloping part of Goonhilly Earth Station, an existing commercial station in Cornwall, UK, to enable it to provide Europe’s first deep-space tracking services on a commercial basis.

Under the project, a 32 m-diameter dish built in 1985 will be upgraded to provide fast data links for missions far beyond Earth – typically exceeding 2 million km.

In future, once commercial capacity is available, ESA’s deep-space antenna network will focus on supporting sophisticated missions demanding high-performance systems.

Test links will be made with ESA missions such as Mars Express, one of the first times an Agency mission communicates with a non-ESA, non-NASA station from another planet.
Mars Express monitored the flyby of comet Siding Spring on 19 October 2014

The project will be initially funded through a €9.5 million investment from the UK’s Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, a public­–private regional economic development body, and will later include a smaller investment from ESA.

“Once the station upgrade work is complete, in about 24 months, Goonhilly will be able to complement ESA’s own stations, and provide deep-space tracking for the Agency’s missions as well as those of other space agencies or from private space start-ups aiming to exploit the Moon or mine asteroids,” notes Klaus-Jürgen Schulz, responsible of ESA ground station engineering.

Goonhilly, established in 1962 and at one time the largest satellite station in the world, with over 60 dishes of varying size, is well known in the UK. Its antennas have brought iconic images to UK TV viewers, including Muhammad Ali fights, the Olympic Games, the Apollo 11 Moon landing and 1985’s Live Aid concert.

With the growing demand for deep-space tracking for both space agencies and new commercial space companies, the Goonhilly upgrade is an excellent example of how ESA can foster new business for European industry through engineering contracts to transform existing antennas into state-of-the art deep-space ground stations.

“Upgrading Goonhilly and building up a commercial capability to support future exploration missions is good for ESA and good for European science and industry,” says Rolf Densing, ESA’s Director of Operations.

“It’s also excellent value for European taxpayers.”

Description

As part of the way Earth works as a system, carbon is continuously passed between the ocean, the land and the atmosphere. This involves a range of different processes, some of which can be observed by satellites. Human activity is disturbing these natural processes and causing a rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Satellites and ESA’s Climate Change Initiative are helping to improve our understanding of the carbon cycle and its role in climate change.

AINSI,

21 February 2018

Slowed by skimming through the very top of the upper atmosphere, ESA’s ExoMars has lowered itself into a planet-hugging orbit and is about ready to begin sniffing the Red Planet for methane.

The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter arrived at Mars in October 2016 to investigate the potentially biological or geological origin of trace gases in the atmosphere.

It will also serve as a relay, connecting rovers on the surface with their controllers on Earth.

But before any of this could get underway, the spacecraft had to transform its initial, highly elliptical four-day orbit of about 98 000 x 200 km into the final, much lower and circular path at about 400 km.

“Since March 2017, we’ve been conducting a terrifically delicate ‘aerobraking’ campaign, during which we commanded it to dip into the wispy, upper-most tendrils of the atmosphere once per revolution, slowing the craft and lowering its orbit,” says ESA flight director Michel Denis.

“This took advantage of the faint drag on the solar wings, steadily transforming the orbit. It’s been a major challenge for the mission teams supported by European industry, but they’ve done an excellent job and we’ve reached our initial goal.

“During some orbits, we were just 103 km above Mars, which is incredibly close.”

The end of this effort came at 17:20 GMT on 20 February, when the craft fired its thrusters for about 16 minutes to raise the closest approach to the surface to about 200 km, well out of the atmosphere. This effectively ended the aerobraking campaign, leaving it in an orbit of about 1050 x 200 km.

“We already acquired experience with aerobraking on a test basis at the end of the Venus Express mission, which was not designed for aerobraking, in 2014,” says spacecraft operations manager Peter Schmitz.

“But this is the first time ESA has used the technique to achieve a routine orbit around another planet – and ExoMars was specifically designed for this.”

Aerobraking around an alien planet that is, typically, 225 million km away is an incredibly delicate undertaking. The thin upper atmosphere provides only gentle deceleration – at most some 17 mm/s each second. How small is this?

If you braked your car at this rate from an initial speed of 50 km/h to stop at a junction, you’d have to start 6 km in advance.

“Aerobraking works only because we spent significant time in the atmosphere during each orbit, and then repeated this over 950 times,” says Michel.

“Over a year, we’ve reduced the speed of the spacecraft by an enormous 3600 km/h, lowering its orbit by the necessary amount.”

In the next month, the control team will command the craft through a series of up to 10 orbit-trimming manoeuvres, one every few days, firing its thrusters to adjust the orbit to its final two-hour, circular shape at about 400 km altitude, expected to be achieved around mid-April.
Taking stereo images

The initial phases of science gathering, in mid-March, will be devoted to checking out the instruments and conducting preliminary observations for calibration and validation. The start of routine science observations should happen around 21 April.

“Then, the craft will be reoriented to keep its camera pointing downwards and its spectrometers towards the Sun, so as to observe the Mars atmosphere, and we can finally begin the long-awaited science phase of the mission,” says Håkan Svedhem, ESA’s project scientist.

The main goal is to take a detailed inventory of trace gases, in particular seeking out evidence of methane and other gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological activity.

A suite of four science instruments will make complementary measurements of the atmosphere, surface and subsurface. Its camera will help to characterise features on the surface that may be related to trace-gases sources, such as volcanoes.

It will also look for water-ice hidden just below the surface, which along with potential trace gas sources could guide the choice for future mission landing sites.
Relaying calls from rovers

April will also see the craft test its data-relay capability, a crucial aspect of its mission at Mars.

A NASA-supplied radio relay payload will catch data signals from US rovers on the surface and relay these to ground stations on Earth. Data relaying will get underway on a routine basis later in the summer.

Starting in 2021, once ESA’s own ExoMars rover arrives, the orbiter will provide data-relay services for both agencies and for a Russian surface science platform.

ExoMars is a joint endeavour between ESA and Roscosmos.

Title Saturn’s B ring peaks
Released 19/02/2018 10:00 am
Copyright NASA/JPL/SSI
Description

While the Winter Olympics is in full swing in PyeongChang, South Korea, and many winter sport fanatics head to snow-clad mountains to get their thrills on the slopes this ski-season, this dramatic mountain scene is somewhat off-piste – in Saturn’s rings to be precise.

These fluffy peaks are among the tallest seen in Saturn’s main rings, towering as high as 2.5 km above the plane of the rings, a significant deviation from the vertical thickness of the planet’s main rings, which is generally only about 10 m. They rise abruptly from the edge of the B ring to cast long shadows in this image.

But these mountains are far from solid: they are constantly changing accumulations of ring particles that respond to the gravity of moonlets and wave-like formations induced in the rings.

Part of the Cassini Division, between the B and the A rings, appears at the top of the image, showing ringlets in the inner division. This is one prominent region at the outer edge of the B ring where moonlets up to a kilometre or more in size are found. It is possible that these bodies significantly affect the ring material streaming past them and force the particles upward in a ‘splashing’ manner, in reality making them impossible to ski.

Images like this are only possible around the time of Saturn’s equinox, which occurs every half-Saturn-year, or about every 15 Earth years. The illumination geometry that accompanies equinox lowers the Sun’s angle to the ring plane and causes structures jutting out of the plane to cast long shadows across the rings.

This image was taken by the international Cassini spacecraft’s narrow-angle camera on 26 July 2009, two weeks before the planet’s 11 August equinox, as the Sun shone directly edge-on to the ring plane.

This view looks toward the southern, sunlit side of the rings from about 32º below the ring plane. The view was acquired at a distance of 336 000 km from Saturn and at a Sun–Saturn–spacecraft, angle of 132º. Image scale is 2 km/ pixel and the image captures a 1200 km-long section arcing along the outer edge of the B ring.

The image was previously highlighted in a release on 1 November 2010.

The Cassini mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and Italy’s ASI space agency. The mission concluded in September 2017.

Churchill (Inuit: Kuugjuaq) est une ville du Manitoba, située au bord de la baie d'Hudson à l'embouchure de la rivière Churchill. La population, qui était de 923 habitants en 2001, était descendue à 813 en 20111.

Environnement
Installée à l'embouchure de la rivière Churchill, la ville se situe dans un écotone, à la jonction entre la taïga ou forêt boréale au sud, la toundra au nord-ouest et la baie d'Hudson au nord. Le sol est formé de pergélisol et d'affleurements du bouclier canadien. L'épinette noire est la variété d'arbre dominante, mais sous une faible densité. Les visiteurs peuvent y pratiquer la pêche sportive, des expéditions en canoë, en véhicule tout terrain, en hélicoptère ou en avion ultra-léger.

La ville est surnommée « capitale mondiale de l'ours polaire » en raison de la grande quantité d'ours polaires qui s'y aventurent à l'automne. Ces derniers constituent un des piliers de l'industrie touristique de la région. Les habitants de la ville ont même pour habitude de laisser les voitures déverrouillées, au cas où des piétons rencontreraient des ours polaires2.

Une autre attraction est l'observation des bélugas qui remontent la rivière en juin et juillet.

On peut aussi observer quelque 270 espèces d'oiseaux dans un rayon de 40 km autour de la ville, notamment le harfang des neiges, le cygne siffleur et le faucon gerfaut3.

Le Parc national Wapusk est situé à 45 km au sud de la ville.

On peut y observer des aurores boréales quand les conditions sont favorables et qu'une forte activité solaire se combine avec des nuits noires.

Voies de communication
Le port de Churchill est le principal port canadien en eau profonde sur les rives de l'océan glacial Arctique. Il possède quatre quais et peut accueillir des navires de type Panamax4.

Il appartient depuis 1997 à la compagnie ferroviaire américaine OmniTRAX5 (Chemin de fer de la Baie d'Hudson). Son activité a décliné avec le démantèlement, en 2012, de la Commission canadienne du blé, qui en était le principal usager depuis 76 ans. Des subsides gouvernementaux pour le transport du grain par ce port ont toutefois permis d'enrayer le déclin6. Le port cherche aussi à diversifier ses exportations6 et ses importations. Les producteurs de pétrole de l'Alberta envisagent de s'en servir comme terminal maritime pour leur pétrole, qui y sera acheminé par train pour atteindre les marchés internationaux. Un premier chargement devrait quitter Churchill pour Rotterdam en octobre 20137. De même des études ont été débutées sur la possibilité de recevoir des navires porte-conteneurs en provenance d’Asie pendant la saison chaude (juin-octobre), pour l’importation de produits manufacturés.

Avec le réchauffement climatique, le passage du Nord-Ouest reste ouvert plus longtemps, augmentant la rentabilité du port. En 2010, il était ouvert à la navigation du 28 juillet au 2 novembre8. C'est le seul port arctique connecté au réseau de chemin de fer d'Amérique du nord via la ligne d'OmniTRAX. En 2007, le gouvernement fédéral a investi 8 000 000 $ dans sa modernisation9.

Le port est desservi par deux compagnies maritimes nationales. La Transportation Company [archive] fait la liaison avec Tuktoyaktuk, à l'embouchure du fleuve Mackenzie et Ikaluktutiak au Nunavut. Les huit navires de la Sealink and Supply [archive] desservent 40 communautés établies au centre et à l'est de l'Arctique.

Le chemin de fer de la Baie d'Hudson relie la ville à Le Pas, au sud du Manitoba, sur une distance de 1 300 km. Il appartient également à la compagnie américaine OmniTrax, qui possède une vingtaine de lignes en Amérique du Nord. Cette ligne sert au transport de grains, de minerais et de pétrole jusqu'au port de Churchill. Un train de voyageurs Via Rail fait également la liaison avec Winnipeg.

L'aéroport de Churchill (nom de code: YYQ) dessert notamment une clientèle intéressée par l'écotourisme.

Base militaire
En 1942, la United States Air Force installa une base nommée Fort Churchill à 8 km à l'est de la ville. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cette base fut opérée conjointement par le Canada et les États-Unis. Elle a été fermée dans les années 1960.

Des recherches ont aussi été menées sur l'ionosphère par le Conseil national de recherche à partir d'août 1943. En 1950, Churchill est intégré au réseau HMC NRS Churchill, rebaptisé HMCS CHURCHILL en 1956 et CFS Churchill en 1966, en tant que maillon du Système radio supplémentaire (SUPRAD) des Forces canadiennes. Les installations ont été fermées en 1968.

Un programme conjoint a été mené avec les États-Unis, le Churchill Rocket Research Range, de 1956 à 1984, qui consistait à lancer des fusées pour étudier l'atmosphère. Situé à 23 km à l'est de la ville, le site abrite depuis 1976 le Churchill Northern Studies Centre [archive], qui étudie l'écosystème subarctique, les aurores boréales et les ours polaires, en plus d'offrir un soutien logistique aux chercheurs travaillant sur ces questions.

En 1950, le gouvernement britannique envisagea d'installer un centre de test nucléaire près de Churchill, mais a finalement choisi l'Australie.

Histoire

Fort Prince of Wales, à l'ouest de la rivière Churchill
La région fut occupée par différentes populations de chasseurs nomades. Les proto-inuit arrivèrent dans la région il y a environ 1 000 ans en provenance de l'ouest. Les Dénés s'installèrent dans la région il y a 500 ans en provenance du nord. Les Tchipewyans et les Cris étaient les principaux occupants de la région au moment de l'arrivée des premiers Européens.

Les Européens parvinrent pour la première fois dans la région en 1619. Une expédition danoise dirigée par Jens Munk hiverna cette année-là dans les lieux de ce qui deviendra plus tard la ville de Churchill.

La première implantation humaine permanente est un fort en bois construit à l'embouchure de la rivière Churchill en 1717 et servant d'établissement pour le commerce de la fourrure à la Compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson. La ville doit son nom à John Churchill, 1er Duc de Marlborough, ancêtre de Winston Churchill et qui fut gouverneur de la Compagnie à la fin des années 1600.

Le fort en bois fut remplacé par un grand fort en pierre en 1741. Le fort fut pris par les Français sans que le moindre coup de feu ne soit tiré et rasé en 1782, lors de l'expédition de la baie d'Hudson menée par La Pérouse. Un nouveau fort fut construit à proximité.

Le déclin du commerce de la fourrure entraîna le déclin de Churchill. Il faudra attendre l'essor de l'agriculture dans les grandes plaines de l'ouest canadien et le choix de Churchill à la fin de la première guerre mondiale comme lieu d'implantation d'un grand port sur les rives de la baie d'Hudson relié à la ville de Winnipeg par le chemin de fer pour que la localité connaisse une nouvelle période de prospérité. Le chemin de fer n'atteindra la ville qu'en 1927. Une fois la liaison ferroviaire achevée il faudra encore attendre de longues années avant que l'activité portuaire ne prenne véritablement son essor.

C'est à Churchill que furent "relocalisés" de force, en août 1956, les Indiens dénés sayisis de Duck Lake, début d'une tragédie sociale et sanitaire qui faillit entraîner la disparition de leur groupe10 - et pour laquelle le gouvernement canadien a fini par faire des excuses officielles en août 201611.

Au printemps 2017, la ligne de chemin de fer qui dessert la ville est détériorée suite à d'importantes inondations et la circulation est interrompue pour une durée indéterminée. La fermeture de la ligne entraîne une crise locale par la forte augmentation des coûts des marchandises12.

Climat
Churchill bénéficie d'un climat subarctique. Bien que située à une latitude comparable à celle de villes européennes telles que Stockholm et Aberdeen, le climat y est bien plus froid. La température moyenne annuelle y est inférieure d'environ 14 °C. Les eaux froides de la baie d'Hudson qui bordent la ville en sont la principale cause. La température record la plus froide, −45,4 °C, a été enregistrée le 13 février 1979 et la température record la plus chaude, +36,9 °C, le 11 août 1991. Les chutes de neige sont abondantes et la moyenne annuelle de neige est de 191 cm.
