Space Development Agency aims high for 2024 after strong 2023 start

Posted by in categories: military, satellites

WASHINGTON — The Space Development Agency has set its sights on an ambitious launch schedule for 2024 following two successful launches this year that marked steady progress for the fledgling U.S. Space Force agency.

“Starting next September, it’s an 11-launch campaign over 11 months, one launch a month,” SDA Director Derek Tournear said Dec. 7 at a National Security Space Association online forum.

SDA is developing a network of satellites known as the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture — a large constellation of lower-cost, mass-produced satellites in low Earth orbit. This is different from the traditional DoD approach of using small numbers of expensive, highly-customized satellites.

Microsoft Outlook was reportedly targeted over 10,000 times this summer by a single threat actor, which is believed to be aligned with Russia.

Cybersecurity company Proofpoint recently unveiled its research announcing that a group they call TA422 (or Forest Blizzard, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, and BlueDelta) was seen attempting daily hacking into the same accounts. It seems that this is a continuation of an earlier campaign by TA422 against various organizations in Europe and North America. US intelligence links the group to its Russian counterpart, the GRU.

Double-Limb Graft Versus Single-Limb Graft Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Recurrent Patellar Dislocation: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials and Cohort Studies — Long Pang

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the most important stabilizer of lateral dislocation of the patella. Single-limb (SL) and double-limb (DL) graft MPFL reconstructions have been increasingly used to treat recurrent patellar dislocations, but the clinical efficacy of SL versus DL graft MPFL reconstructions remains controversial owing to the inconsistent conclusions of previous studies.

Ford confirms it received Elon Musk’s “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle” pamphlet

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, sustainability, transportation

When motoring content firm Hagerty published its video review of the Tesla Cybertruck, automotive journalist Jason Cammisa lightly noted that Tesla had sent other auto CEOs a pamphlet called “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle.” Cammisa seemed like he was joking in the video, so his comments were mostly taken in stride by the electric vehicle community.

But as per a recent comment from Ford CEO Jim Farley, it appears that Tesla really did send out a “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle” guide to other auto CEOs. In a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Farley noted that Tesla was definitely not joking, as Ford had received the document.

Farley also remarked that Ford had received the pamphlet on December 5, 2023. The Ford CEO actually seemed like he appreciated the document, as he thanked Elon Musk and stated that the guide would be “great for the industry.” Elon Musk, for his part, seemed to appreciate the Ford CEO’s reaction to the 48V guide. In a response on X, Musk simply noted, “You’re welcome.”
