Daklen, datum je konačno objavljen, 12. Novembra 2014 Svijet će posmatrati prvo kontrolisano spuštanje ljudske tehnologije na neku kometu (67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko). Misina Rosetta se približava kulminaciji, poslje skoro 10 godina navigacije kroz Sunčev Sistem.
So the date is set on 12th November 2014 the world will witness the first historic landing on a comet (67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko). Rosetta Mission is getting to its culmination, after 10 years of space travel through our Solar system.
The probe was launched on 2nd March 2004 from French Guinea on-board rocket Ariane 5 and it is the most ambitious project of ESA (European Space Agency) to date. The probe has traveled for 10 years and made few flyby near many Solar System worlds. Three times have passed near Earth, one time near Mars and near 2 asteroids, 2867 Šteins and 21 Lutetia. Many pictures have been taken during those flybys, some of which can be found in the link below.
Pomenutog 12. Novembra sa sonde će se odvojiti lander nazvan Philae i spustiti na kometu. Odnosno pravilnije je reći da će obaviti dokovanje jer je gravitacija komete preslaba da se obavi klasično spuštanje. Lander će prići kometi i zatim se bukvalno usidriti na površini jer u protivnom bi jednostavno odskočila nazad u svemir.
On mentioned date 12th November 2014 a on-board lander named Philae will detach it self and land on the surface of the comet. Well it will be more like a docking as gravity of the comet is to week to actually count as landing, the lander will approach the surface and than anchor it self on it or better, pin it self on it, otherwise if it attempts classical landing it would just bounce off the surface and float out in to Space.
Zašto je ova cijela misija urađena / Why this mission was undertaken
Mislim da gore urađeni kratki film dobro opisuje razlog iza ove misije. U pitanju nije samo istraživanje i nauka već i pomijeranje granica mogućeg. Novi izazovi i novi horizonti spoznaje. Osnovna misija ovog projekta je da istraži sastav komete i odgovori na pitanje odakle voda na Zemlji. Mnogi naučnici smatraju da je sva voda u našim oceanima i rijekama u stvari porijeklom iz svemira, donesena ovdje padom kometa i asteroida tokom turbilentne prapovijesti dok je naš svijet još bila mlada i beživotna gomila kamenja u dobu kada je Sunčev Sistem nastajao prije više od 4 milijarde godina. Philae lander će ispitati vodu na kometi, njen tačni sastav i odnose među izotopima u molekulima vode i ako odgovara sastavu vode na našoj planeti ona će to biti dokaz odakle naša voda potiče.
I think the above short film captures exactly the spirit of this mission. It is not only science and research but also the spirit of exploration, the thing that we can actually do it in this age in time, moving the borders of what we can do, opening of new horizons. But let me explain the actual mission without romanticism's. The mission goal is to determinate the composition of the comet, especially the composition of water in it, the exact ratios of isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in it. Today many scientists theorize that all the water on our planet comes from Space, brought here by comets and asteroids long time ago when our planet was young lump of rock, just formed after formation of Sun and Solar system, 4 billion years ago. if those ratios measured on the comet are similar to same ratios found in water on Earth than we will have a clear evidence that our water is actually from space.
Međutim sama misija je i simbol ljudske znatiželje i kao takva prevazilazi osnovnu funkciju. Postavlja nove granice mogućeg i otvara nove horizonte.
But at the same time this mission is a symbol of our curiosity and ambition. It draws new limits for our intellect to cross at some future point.
Ovo me na kraju vraće na kratki film sa početka članka, nastao u kooperaciji ESA-e i Platige studija (glumci: Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) i Aisling Francios (BBC The Fall)) koji opisuje to naše stremljenje ka spoznaji i pomjeranju granica mogućeg. Sam film je prikaz jedne ne tako daleke budućnosti, budućnosti u kojoj je nanotehnologija i spoj mašine i tjela stvar svakodnevnice, a sama Rosetta Misija tek dijelom povijeti. Ono što vidimo u filmu je prikaz kontrolisanja materije preko nanomašina i odnos između učitelja i učenice. A ono što učitelj uči učenicu je je teraformiranje odnosno proces pretvaranja beživotne planete u planetu sličnoj Zemlji uz pomoć vode sa kometa.
Lets return back to the short film from the start of the article. It is a collaboration between ESA and Platige studio with two excellent actors: Aiden Gillen (Game of Thrones) and Aisling Francios (BBC The Fall). It represents our aspirations from the perspective of a teacher and pupil set in a not so far away future in which nano-tech and mind-machine interface is norm of the day and Rosetta mission is part of the history used by the teacher as a teaching tool. We see matter manipulation through nanotechnology as part of an mundane event as teaching. The amazing thing is that the lesson is about terraforming a process to transform a lifeless planet in to one like Earth using water from comets.
Nama ovaj film više izgleda kao prikaz magije dok akteri polagano plešu, a svijet se oko njih radikalno mjenja. Međutim to što vidimo je jedan od mogućih efekata napredne nanotehnologije, upotrebe i izrade majušnih mašina, nevidljivih golim okom, čitavih rojeva i danas više ne predstavlja nešto što bi smo smatrali nemogućim.
Artur C. Klark je svojevremeno rekao "Svaka napredna tehnologija je nerazlučiva od magije" i ništa bolje ne opisuje nanotehnologiju od te rečenice.
To us this movie looks like a display of magic as actors preform their small dance changing the shape of the landscape. But this actually represent one of possible outcomes of an emerging technology which will change this world forever, the nanotechnology, ability to manufacture and control machines which are invisible to the naked eye, entire swarms of those.
Artur C. Clarke once said "Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Nothing is more true than this sentence regarding nanotechnology.
Na kraju da se vratim na samu misiju Rosette, želim im pun uspijeh i vjetar u leđa i svi čekamo taj istorijski 12 Novembar 2014. Mislim da će biti i neki direktni prenosi, međutim trenutno ne vidim ništa najavljeno i postaviti ću poseban članak o tome kada dođe vrijeme.
At the end, lets return back to the Rosetta mission, I wish them all the best and full success of the mission. I think that this event will be covered by some real-time press coverage but until now I couldn't find any planed. Anyway I will make a new article about it when time comes.
