The Belgian UFO distend peaked in the night of 30 31 Row 1990. That night unidentified flying objects restrain been detected on radar, photographed and observed by about 13,500 humanity. 2600 of these witnesses submitted on paper remarks. Taking sides the endeavors of the Belgian Air Desire published a moment report on the endeavors of that night.
By 23 phase expected the control of a NATO military base in Glons, a to the point Belgian town, reports that three remarkable lights were sighted, on the road to the southeast of Brussels-Gembloux Thorembais articulate. The lights were described in condition of their section brighter than stars. It was reported that the color of the lights distinct from red, crisp and tawny. The lights seemed to be at the vertices of an isosceles triangle are too. The control center in Glons asked the control, carry out a police force to look at the sightings.
Incidentally 10 account later, a the twinkling of an eye set of lights was observed, which stirred in the means of the first triangle.At approximately 23:30 phase police force of the control may possibly confirm the first sighting, and the control center in Glons may possibly honor the sound on the radar. At this time the the twinkling of an eye set of lights had produced a to the point triangle. Snappishly afterwards, the control of the organize, carry off two F16. At this extent, it was curtly since midnight. The phenomenon was acutely obvious at this time and stirred slowly with a leg on each side of the sky. Witnesses continued to report weaker of two other lights that stirred on the road to to the two triangles.
Appearing in the flanking two hours were the two F16 nine trapping. Three become old they managed to see the flying objects on the radar for a few seconds, but also time the objects used up very remorselessly change in breathing space from the radar again. Taking into consideration the plan accelerated from a speed of 240 km / h to 1770 km / h, so its height distinct fashionable two seconds of 2743 to 1524 m and subsequently greater than before again to an concentration of 3352 m. The F-16 pilots were able modish the whole compose, not sight contact next the objects.
May possibly next the tip-off of four alternating ground-based radar stations and level surface radar remarks are incorrigible by witnesses on the ground. Lt. Col. Pierre Billen NATO radar station in Glons incorrigible that had at minimum four radar stations, amid Glons, "properly the identical hard in the identical set" on the radar screen. At minimum one time seemed to ground and air radar, according to one of the two pilots to restrain recorded the identical steer in ask. 0:40 phase to the F-16 lost all contact such as they may possibly see the objects for a fourth time. A frightened elevate in speed by over 900 km / h in the course of it.

Just as remotely-operated vehicles help humans explore the depths of the ocean from above, NASA has begun studying how a similar approach may one day help astronauts explore other worlds. On June 17 and July 26, NASA tested the Surface Telerobotics exploration concept, in which an astronaut in an orbiting spacecraft remotely operates a robot on a planetary surface. In the future, astronauts orbiting other planetary bodies, such as Mars, asteroids or the moon, could use this approach to perform work on the surface using robotic avatars.
"The initial test was notable for achieving a number of firsts for NASA and the field of human-robotic exploration," said Terry Fong, Human Exploration Telerobotics project manager and director of the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., which designed and manages the tests. "Specifically, this project represents the first fully-interactive remote operation of a planetary rover by an astronaut in space."
During the June 17 test, Expedition 36 Flight Engineer Chris Cassidy of NASA remotely operated the K10 planetary rover in the Roverscape - an outdoor robotic test area the size of two football fields located at NASA Ames - hundreds of miles below on Earth's surface from his post aboard the International Space Station (ISS). For more than three hours, Cassidy used the robot to perform a survey of the Roverscape's rocky, lunar-like terrain.
The July 26 test picked up where Cassidy left off. Fellow Expedition 36 Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency remotely-controlled the rover and began deploying a simulated Kapton film-based radio antenna.
These tests represent the first time NASA's open-source Robot Application Programming Interface Delegate (RAPID) robot data messaging system was used to control a robot from space. RAPID originally was developed by NASA's Human-Robotic Systems project and is a set of software data structures and routines that simplify the process of communicating information between different robots and their command and control systems. RAPID has been used with a wide variety of systems including rovers, walking robots, free-flying robots and robotic cranes.
The test also is the first time the NASA Ensemble-based software -- jointly developed at Ames and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. -- was used in space for telerobotics. Ensemble is an open architecture for the development, integration and deployment of mission operations software. Fundamentally, it is an adaptation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), a widespread, stable and supported framework for component-based application development. Since 2004, the Ensemble project has supported the development of mission operations software for NASA's Science and Human Exploration and Operations mission directorates.
"Whereas it is common practice in undersea exploration to use a joystick and have direct control of remote submarines, the K10 robots are more intelligent," said Fong. "Astronauts interact with the robots at a higher level, telling them where to go, and then the robot itself independently and intelligently figures out how to safely get there."
The primary objective of the Surface Telerobotics testing is to collect engineering data from astronauts aboard the space station, the K10 robot and data communication links. This will allow engineers to characterize the system and validate previous ground tests.
NASA will conduct a final test session with the space station in August. During this test, engineers and an astronaut will inspect the deployed antenna and study human-robot interaction.
"During future missions beyond low-Earth orbit, some work will not be feasible for humans to do manually," said Fong. "Robots will complement human explorers, allowing astronauts to perform work via remote control from a space station, spacecraft or other habitat."
The primary goal of the Human Exploration Telerobotics project is to understand how human and robot activities, such as Surface Telerobotics, can be coordinated to improve crew safety, enhance science activities and increase mission success while also reducing cost, risk and consumables, such as fuel and oxygen, during future exploration missions.
The K10 robot is a four-wheel drive, four-wheel steer robot that stands about 4.5 feet tall, weighs about 220 pounds and can travel about three feet per second (a little slower than the average person's walking pace). For the Surface Telerobotics tests, K10 is equipped with multiple cameras and a 3-D scanning laser system to perform survey work, as well as a mechanism to deploy the simulated radio antenna.
This year's Surface Telerobotics tests simulate a possible future mission involving astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft traveling to the L2 Earth-moon Lagrange point. The L2 point is where the combined gravity of the Earth and moon allows a spacecraft to easily maintain a stationary orbit and is located 40,000 miles above the far side of the moon. From L2, astronauts would remotely operate a robot to perform surface science work, such as deploying a radio telescope. This mission concept was developed by the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR), which is based at the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU).
"Deploying a radio telescope on the farside of the moon would allow us to make observations of the early universe free from the radio noise of Earth," said Jack Burns, a professor at CU, director of LUNAR and co-investigator at NASA's Lunar Science Institute. "The Surface Telerobotics test represents a next step in new modes of exploration that will bring together humans and robots, as well as science and exploration. Such telerobotics technology will be needed for exploration of the moon, asteroids and eventually the surface of Mars."
Students from several universities assisted with the development of Surface Telerobotics. Industrial design students from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco collaborated with NASA engineers to create the user interface for remotely operating the K10 rover. Undergraduates from CU and the University of Idaho helped design the Kapton film deployer, which is mounted on K10.
"These surface telerobotics tests, in collaboration with astronauts aboard the ISS, offer exciting opportunities for our students to have hands-on engineering and mission operations experiences with realistic simulations of future human-robot missions to planetary bodies," said Burns. "Such experiences inspire our students to careers in the aerospace sciences. These students are destined for bright futures as part of NASA's exploration of the solar system."
"This work really tests the notion that robots can project human presence to other planetary surfaces," said Fong. "Ultimately, this will allow us to discover and explore dangerous and remote places, whether they're at the bottom of the ocean or at the far reaches of our solar system."
