During the House consideration of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, McSally, along with John McCain, fought to increase military spending, particularly on the Tomahawk missile and other programs of Raytheon Co., one of the largest employers in Arizona.

# McSally wins 'knife fight' over defense spending

Rebekah L. Sanders, The Republic | azcentral.com

U.S. Rep. Martha McSally says helping to defeat an amendment that could have slowed Raytheon's work on a missile system was one of her "most satisfying moments on the floor of the House.

Challenging a member of her own party over the national defense-spending bill was like going into a "knife fight," U.S. Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., told Tucson Raytheon Co. employees on Thursday.

But a passionate floor speech, which drew on her military experience, and personal appeals to colleagues as they voted helped produce the results she sought, McSally said.

She helped defeat an amendment that could have slowed Raytheon's work on a missile system, hampered the military and cost taxpayers by favoring a U.S. supplier that had performed poorly in the past, she said at a town-hall meeting held at the company's facility.

"We had some people switch their votes. ...

The 'nos' 213," she recalled, as Raytheon employees applauded.

"It was one of my most satisfying moments on the floor of the House."

Hundreds of jobs could be added at the company if the National Defense Authorization Act receives approval from the Senate and President Barack Obama, according to an official with the company, one of Arizona's largest employers.

The episode was one among a number of victories McSally, a former Air Force pilot, has notched in her first term.

In the military spending bill, she and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., fought to preserve and increase spending for a variety of defense programs.

"We're very thankful to Sen. McCain on the Senate Armed Services Committee and Congresswoman McSally on the House Armed Services Committee for leading the charge to restore funding to programs like Tomahawk" missiles and other weapons, Raytheon's missile systems president Taylor Lawrence said.

"We hit the dip of sequestration, and we're coming out of it," Lawrence said, referring to the across-the-board cuts that occurred in 2013 after Congress failed to agree on a targeted deficit-reduction plan.

"As long as sequestration doesn't return, we expect to grow."

But approval of the defense spending isn't certain.

The White House has issued a veto threat, accusing Republicans of budget gimmicks that divert wartime funds into routine spending.

Last year, Obama vetoed the first NDAA bill that came to his desk.

McSally said the $18 billion taken from wartime funds is necessary to "stop the bleeding" in the regular military budget.

"We're going to hold that line pretty strongly," she said.

"And then we're just going to have to deal with (Obama) — whether he's really willing to put our military and the warfighter at risk over this issue or whether he's going to support what his co-equal branch of government came up with ... and sign that bill into law."

McSally said she has requested to join the small conference committee that will hash out differences between the House and Senate versions of the bill — a high-profile role — but she has not received confirmation yet.

# Unmanned Combat Armed Rotorcraft (UCAR)

"Piasecki also had some interesting ideas on rotorcraft unmanned air vehicles for

the US Army's Future Combat Systems, including a modern version of its AirGeep,

Yes, the UCAR program was cancelled (UCAR = US Cancelled Another Rotorcraft ),

but I think, reasons weren't mostly in the field of aerodynamics,

or structures, but in the demands for more autonomy of the UAV in comparison with,

UCAR was not part of the Future Combat Systems programme - which started out with four classes of UAV from a Honeywell ducted fan small enough to carry in a backpack (Class I) up to the Northrop Grumman Fire Scout (Class IV) - but I agree the army has cancelled a lot of rotorcraft programmes.

UCAR was a DARPA programme for a unmanned rotorcraft that could work in "packs" with manned helicopters, and was going quite well (in the laboratory) until the US Army said it wasn't going to fund it any more.

Piasecki's FCS UAV designs were aimed at the vehicle-carried Class II (the AirGeep derivative) and containerised Class III (a modified autogyro) requirements.

Here are some view of Lockheed Martin's UCAR

And here are some images of Northrop Grumman's UCAR, which used the intermeshing-rotor dynamic system from the Kaman K-Max external lifter.

Anyone close to (I know you are here) can say what's happening to UCAR?

I've already noticed that before one decides to grab 'this cool looking pics' on his hard drive from the net, many programs are disappearing from the horizon...

Oh, damn... So cool I have got a while promo stuff on the thing(s) from <...>. Even filenames match)))

##### "Robert Gates, is that you??" sublight

I know there has been various discussion, info, and pictures lurking here and there in different threads, but I agree with Flateric that we should start seperate thread.

I found some pdf, but doesn't find it appropriate to post in the recent uav/ucav thread anymore, partly due to how long ago that thread was.

I also request that the posts reguarding ucar from the other thread merged to this one?

Does anyone know why when I "save as" the picture from the pdf, it comes out so much darker than the original?

The original proposals from Boeing, LM and NG, plus a couple more images of the goblin in action (from the good ol' days of 2004 when the margin for 'acceptable collateral damage' was somewhat higher).

In the fall report, the chart that shows the teaming and the responsibilities shared by team member indicates that northrop space division would provide high-energy laser.

Does that mean they planned for the ucar to have directed energy weapon?

Here's a short clip of the video I found.

I really need help to find the rest of it (the entire video should be 9 minutes long).

It would be great if anyone has it or know a way to gain access to it.

Cartercopter with its heliplane concept were selected by Northrop Grumman to be on the team, but later, NG opted for Kaman instead.

finally i found a larger version of this:

Mod edit: replaced by the high-res image in the further post

BTW does anybody have the idea what the Sikorsky originally proposed?

Well, I have only one picture of something supposed to be a Sikorsky UCAR proposal, but find neither the artwork nor the design too convincing...

Here's the sikorsky/raytheon proposal, from flightglobal archive, I think.

I don't know if this is their submitted design or simply a generic design:

Thanks. At least something to begin with.

To me it looks like one of the UHV (Unmanned Hybrid Vehicle) concepts.

Note the evolution of Lockheed/Bell models from faceted shaping to a more blended one:

Is that trade show model in your fornt yard?

I found it here (I thought I posted the link, but turned out I didn't):

I think Bell hired these guys to make those models for them.

The one on the left is Northrop and the one on the right is lockmart

An info sheet on Boeing's UCAR proposal which I picked up during a recent visit to the Boeing Prologue Room.

I'm not sure this has ever been posted/noticed here but here is something that might be connected.

The Howland Company is a radar range building specialist and their website offers a wild bunch of information on most US RCS aerospace facilities (cause they built them - my understanding).

One page displays something quite unusual that might be connected to the present topic: two different stealth helicopter models claimed to be tested at the RATSCAT facility.

The pictures seems to date back to a long while ago before digital camera were common.

Flateric beat me to it - however, some of the UCAR concepts provide a glimpse into the direction of LO rotorcraft design in the late 90's to early 2000's:

# Iran: Former BBC Journalist Is Arrested

A former journalist with the British Broadcasting Corporation's Persian service was arrested in Iran on Wednesday, Iranian activists outside the country reported, just as Iran's foreign minister embarked on a trip to Britain, the first such visit in more than a decade.

The former journalist, Bahman Daroshafaei, a dual citizen of Britain and Iran, was taken into custody for undisclosed reasons in Tehran, where he had been working as a translator, according to an account on Iranwire, a news service founded by expatriate Iranian journalists.

The arrest may have been intended by hard-line factions in Iran, which are suspicious of improved ties with the West, to embarrass Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who has been seeking greater engagement.

Hartlepool United Football Club badge - Link to home

Pools star Jack Baldwin is racing against time to play again this season after results from a scan showed medial ligament damage to his right knee.

The 19-year-old hobbled off with the problem after falling awkwardly during the first half of Pools' goalless draw with Colchester United at Victoria Park last Tuesday.

Baldwin will visit the consultant again today when it is expected to be confirmed that he will be missing for around five to six weeks.

"It's a blow for us and for Jack because of the form he had been in," admitted boss John Hughes.

"We're hoping that Jack is a quick healer and he can be back quicker than expected but we can't rush him so we'll make sure when he does return that he's 100% right.

"It gives the opportunity for others to come in and show what they do but it is disappointing for Jack given that he had enjoyed a good run in the side."

The teenager had been starring in a midfield role for Pools in recent weeks and had started in nine consecutive games before picking up the injury.

### Thursday's Academy Training Cancelled

Information for the Club's Academy players.

Key dates for the 2017/18 season have been confirmed today, with EFL fixtures returning on the first weekend in August.

We bring you a selection of images as the new man in charge is introduced to the press at The Northern Gas and Power Stadium.

Baldwin made his senior debut for Hartlepool United on 17 December 2011 in a 1–0 home defeat against Colchester United with caretaker boss Micky Barron saying "Jack came in and was steady. He got on the ball, won his tackles and headers and competed really well. He's been terrific since he came to the club on trial in pre-season." Initially playing for the reserve side since the start of the season, Baldwin began to establish himself in the Hartlepool United's starting eleven, playing in either defensive-midfield and centre-back throughout the 2011–12 season. He went on to make seventeen appearances in his first season and shortly after the end of the 2011–12 season, Baldwin committed his future to Hartlepool by signing a long-term contract with the club.
 In the 2012–13 season, Baldwin found himself in and out of the first team, where he was often featured on the substitute bench. After being suspended for one match and appearing three times as an unused substitute on the bench, Baldwin scored his first senior goal in a 2–1 defeat to A.F.C. Bournemouth in January 2013 and then scored again, four days later in a 3–1 win away to Portsmouth. Baldwin then set up a double for three goals, in a 3–0 win over Crewe Alexandra on 26 February 2013.

## Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade declared

The Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade was declared on the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

The Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade, declared on the 104th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, issued a written statement.

"MEMORIALS ARE NOT ENOUGH, WE NEED TO FIGHT"

The brigade's statement included the following:

"Today on the 104th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, we are proud to announce the founding of the Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade the children of genocide started to defend themselves.

As children of the Armenian people, who were massacred and exiled in the genocide, today we came together to defend Rojava against fascist attacks by ISIS and the Turkish state and to strengthen the revolution in Rojava.

Based on the idea that a people have nothing if they don't have an army, we formed a humble brigade to defend the Armenian people and all peoples of Rojava.

We wanted to take a step to make April 24 not just a memorial for the genocide, but a day of resistance against the current representatives of the fascist Union and Progress Committee who carried out the genocide.

The Armenian people won't just condemn the genocide and remember the lost.

We want to spread the hope that they will also fight for them.

Burdened by the knowledge that the genocide that happened 104 years ago continues today in different guises, we formed our self-defense force against all oppression, tyranny, massacres and assimilation attacks.

"WE POSITION OURSELVES AS A MULTIFACETED ORGANIZATION"

Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade was founded to tend to the wounds of our massacred people, to hold perpetrators to account, and to allow a people torn away from its own history and language to come together with its own truth.

The founding of our brigade should be seen as proof that the ideas and the struggle of comrade Ibrahim Kaypakkaya, who spoke about the Armenian Genocide when nobody else would and who sparked the flame on the day of the genocide, have stayed alive.

The founding of our brigade is also a step towards realizing the dreams of commander Nubar Ozanyan who was martyred in the fight against ISIS fascism which was nurtured by the imperialists that are the enemies of the peoples of the world.

It is a step towards organizing the unorganized strength of the Armenian people in Rojava and to defend them and the Rojava revolution.

The Kurdish, Arab, Syriac and Assyrian peoples in the Rojava revolution have formed their self-organizations, brigades and regiments.

It was a shortcoming and a need for the Armenian people to do the same.

We as the Martyr Nubar Ozanyan Armenian Brigade feel this burning need and base ourselves on the military, ideological, cultural and social aspects and on learning our mother tongue to never experience a genocide again.

To that end, we will organize more and increase our self-organization to grow our revolution."

In 2003, American singer Madonna signed a contract with Callaway Arts & Entertainment and released her first children's book as an author, "The English Roses", which was translated into 42 different languages over 100 countries. The book debuted at number one on "The New York Times" Best Seller list, spending a total of 18 weeks there. Following the success of "The English Roses", Madonna worked on her second book, "Mr. Peabody's Apples". In the acknowledgement section, Madonna dedicated the book to "teachers everywhere", while including a moral about the how to choose one's words carefully and the effects of it. She explained that "Mr. Peabody's Apples" was inspired by a 300 year-old story by rabbi Baal Shem Tov that she heard from her Kabbalah teacher, and wanted to share the "essence" of it in her second release.
 Callaway and Madonna wanted the story to be set in the 1940s, during a day in the life of a small town told in a cinematic style. An article in "The Times" described it as evoking "the highly moral world of Jimmy Stewart and "It's a Wonderful Life", of apple pie, picket fences, Little League baseball, milkshakes and—of course—of right and wrong". The pictures were illustrated by Loren Long whose main inspiration was American regionalist artists and conventional realism.

# The 3rd Birthday Interview Dives Into The Game With Director Hajime Tabata

After finishing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Hajime Tabata went on to reimagine Aya Brea, the lead character in the Parasite Eve series.

Since ten years have lapsed since the last game in the series Tabata and the team decided to focus on Aya's return.

How do you feel about the fan expectations?

As a character, how did you envision Aya Brea in The 3rd Birthday?

Regardless of the game being on the PSP, we challenged ourselves to portray Aya in a realistic manner in every aspect of the game.

As a result, I think we were able to develop Aya's distinctive characteristics in a realistic fashion.

There was a 10 year gap after the release of PE2, and we couldn't simply create a sequel, so we decided to create a title for Aya's return.

For that reason, we believed that in order for Aya to stand apart on her own, we needed to reimagine Aya and not create a simple reboot of the PE series.

The story evolved around this concept of "Aya's comeback."

How did you come up with the designs for the costumes?

Some of the costumes were designed to get through the more difficult game modes, but because they were designed as bonus features (Easter eggs), there were no specific inspirations for the designs.

The artists (which we had several of) were able to design the costumes with creative freedom.

However, the fundamental requirement was for the costumes to be interesting, stand out on the PSP system, and maintain a sense of realism when damaged/torn.

The 3rd Birthday and Mindjack use a similar body switching mechanic.

Were you aware Mindjack was in development?

I found out about Mindjack during the development of this title, but that did not affect our production.

It is also a way in which to obtain DNA that strengthens Aya.

Therefore, the Overdive System and Mindjack's system are fundamentally different in terms of the approach in design.

How did you design levels to utilize body switching?

We created each stage while focusing on minute details and elements, while asking questions like "What types of surprises are in store?", "How often will a player need to use the Overdive System to get through a stage?", "How much pressure should be applied to the player?", "Which enemies should appear?", "What about the timing and placing of enemy encounters?" when deciding upon the layout and direction for each 3D map.

What was the most difficult part about developing a third person shooter?

Realizing the hardware and control limitations of the PSP, the game was designed to have firearms as the fundamental attack action within a lock-on action system.

That's why the development differs from the development of a traditional TPS game.

We also faced many difficulties outside of development.

If you had more development time what would you have added to the game?

If we had been given more time on this project from the beginning, we would have switched platforms from the PSP to a home console.

I would have then liked to have created a shooting-based survival RPG game, where the player is placed in an even more desperate situation, facing insurmountable odds and having to continually fight to survive.

What would you like to do with the next game?

As I mentioned earlier, if given the opportunity to create another game within this franchise, I would like to create what I call a "cinematic shooter RPG" on a home console of the highest quality possible.

We've successfully revamped the series with this title [The 3rd Birthday], so I'm certain that we can have Aya Brea flourish in a subsequent game as the fans are garnering for.

For your fans, please tell us something new about Final Fantasy Type-0.

Nothing has been decided upon yet for the North American release.

However, Final Fantasy Type-0 is a challenging game of high quality.

Therefore, everyone on the staff hopes gamers around the world give it a try and really enjoy the experience, so we hope to have your continued support!

"We also had many fans in Japan who were very excited about the return of Aya.

I hope we can continue to develop Aya with our dedicated fan base."

great to see many fans are picking up the series(such as myself)

"that in order for Aya to stand apart on her own, we needed to reimagine Aya and not create a simple reboot of the PE series.

The story evolved around this concept of "Aya's comeback."

well she looks sexier now if you ask me :P

"The Overdive System is the integral feature in this title, while also being a vital tactical action necessary to progression.

It is also a way in which to obtain DNA that strengthens Aya"

love the overdrive system, the diving feature is one of my favorite moves ^^

im actually surprised they did not mention Deus Ex HR in the customization part.

i feel they have some sort of connection to be honest O_O

"I would like to create what I call a "cinematic shooter RPG" on a home console of the highest quality possible."

yes please, i want my Aya Shower Scene on HD!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Omegosh, I read the whole comment then LOL'd at the end >.<

…Contrary to what I said I'd do, I read the story synopsis for 3rd Birthday

Grant me your burning hearts and firey spirits so that I may dispense divine judgment, and neutralize this injustice from the world we love!

…*waits for everyone to give me weapons*

agreed, they botched it up in ways I never imagined they could do.

Go forth, Champion of Siliconera! Wield my spear proudly, for it will assist you in your noble task!

I give to you the greatest weapon that ever exists, wield it wisely for it has within it the power to tear asunder a million worlds

Maybe this is only because the interviewee's thoughts were translated, but Tabata was particularly brief on details.

And I find this is true of many interviews with Japanese developers.

They often make obvious statements like "We hope/want to…" or "I'm certain that…", followed by something we were already well aware of, or could've easily inferred.

Their way of saying "further info is confidential"?

I love the PE series it's one of my generation series XD!

4rd best series next to FF MANA CHRONO -PE!

Why did he turn Aya into a fanservice symbol?

I haven't actually played any of the games yet but since they're on PSN, I can finally get them!

… the last bit worries me a bit, though.

I thought Type-0 was pretty much set to be released outside Japan eventually?

Shin Megami Tensei IV Was Made To Show That Social Games Aren't Everything

Nomura was among the first to suggest this feature originally.
 Nomura worked on the character designs for the main cast. He was originally only going to work on Aya and Eve, but after seeing the settings for the other characters, he offered to design them too. The team wanted to emphasize the character's sexuality. As part of this, the team included a scene where Aya takes a shower. This was inspired by a similar scene in "Parasite Eve II". When the title was being developed for PSP, the team's main challenge with the character was to make her look as realistic as possible while retaining her established physical traits. Using this new realism, the team wanted to portray the fear felt by humans when faced with such threats through Aya. Achieving this realism proved one of the most difficult aspects of development.


The following year, the game was named  Game Design of the Year at the Korea Games Conference and won the Global Award from Japan Game Awards 2012 at the Tokyo Game Show.

The following year, his senior thesis on applying biotechnology to conservation biology was published in the "Molecular Ecology". After serving as scuba diving instructor and boat captain in the Cayman Islands, he began work on a graduate degree in Seattle.  It was there that launched his game development career, beginning with a summer job at Electronic Arts during the peak of Seattle's gaming explosion. Condrey later relocated to  Redwood City at the EA-owned studio Visceral Games, where he became studio chief operations officer, as well as senior development director on the 2008 title "Dead Space". He also worked on three other successful EA franchises: Need for Speed, FIFA, and the James Bond game series.
 In November 2009, Condrey and Visceral Games colleague Glen Schofield founded Sledgehammer Games, a subsidiary of Activision operating under the company's independent studio model. Condrey likened the opportunity to work with Activision and "Call of Duty" to a baseball player getting a call from the New York Yankees or a filmmaker hearing from Steven Spielberg After an initial attempt to create their own "Call of Duty" title, Condrey and Schofield collaborated with Infinity Ward on "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3".   The game grossed $1 billion in worldwide sales in its first 16 days and took the Best Shooter prize at the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards.

From Queen's College to National University of Ireland, the University's past is intertwined with the history of Galway and Ireland.

The Quadrangle first opened its doors to 68 students on 30th October 1849 and the University, then known as Queen's College was born.

The University was one of three Queen's Colleges, the others located in Cork and Belfast.

The Quadrangle building, built in local limestone in a Tudor Gothic architectural style, is modelled on Christ Church at the University of Oxford.

The 'Quad' still stands proudly at the heart of the University today as a testament to its past.

It is now used primarily for administrative purposes and houses the offices of the President and the Vice-Presidents.

In the first academic year, 1849 -1850, the University began with three faculties, Arts, Medicine and Law but there were also schools of Agriculture and Engineering.

Female students later joined the student body and in 1906 Alice Perry graduated from the college, believed to be the first female engineering graduate in the world to receive a first class honours degree in civil engineering

There are many historical buildings on campus, such as the James Mitchell Museum, established in 1952.

This geological museum contains high quality collections sampling a significant diversity of the planet's geology, with a fine display of fossils, minerals and rocks.

The University has had three different names:

In 1849, it was called Queen's College Galway

In 1908, it was changed to University College Galway, or UCG for short

In 1997, it was changed again to National University of Ireland Galway, or NUI Galway for short

Newer parts of the University sprang up in the 1970s, including the iconic Arts/Science Concourse designed by architects Scott Tallon Walker.

The 1990s also saw considerable development including the conversion of an old munitions factory into a student centre.

Since 2000, the University has invested €400 million in new buildings and facilities across campus.

The early 2000s saw the addition of the Cairnes Building, Áras Moyola and the award-winning Engineering Building, all located in the north campus.

a new Biomedical Science research centre

the Institute for Lifecourse and Society

the O'Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance

As the capital development programme draws to a close, we are adding new residences on campus for over 900 students, as well as developing the Quadrangle - our very first building - into a centre for public and civic engagement.

## University Presidents through the Years

Professor Ó hÓgartaigh's term of office commenced in January 2018.

A native of Galway city and a graduate of NUI Galway, Professor Ó hÓgartaigh came to the University from UCD, where he was Professor of Accounting and Dean of Business at UCD.

An Engineering graduate of NUI Galway, Dr. Browne is a former Dean of Engineering and Deputy-President of the University with a record of achievement in academic leadership, strategic planning and change management.

Dr. Iognáid G. Ó Muircheartaigh - 2000-2008

Dr. Ó Muircheartaigh's term co-incided with development of a number of world-class research centres (eg. NCBES, REMEDI, DERI, Huston School of Film & Digital Media) and the construction of major new buildings, such as the Sports Centre, Áras Moyola, the IT Building and the Orbsen Building.

Widely known as 'Iggy', key achievements of his term include a new approach to the promotion of third level education through Irish and the amendment of the 1929 Act.

Dr. Fottrell introduced the first strategic plan for the university in 1997 called Strategic Plan 2006, which resulted in the strengthening of research activities in the university and secured the development of the NUI Galway as a world-class university.

Under Dr. ó hEocha's leadership, student numbers doubled, research flourished and the present modern campus took shape.

An esteemed professor of Mathematics in UCG, Dr. Newell became President in 1960 and implemented many changes to the University, its campus and particularly to the curriculum by adding many new disciplines.

He was the fifth son of William Robert Starkie JP (1824–1897) and Francis Powers Starkie. He spent his early years at Creggane Manor in Rosscarbery near Cork with his four older brothers and younger sister, Edyth Starkie, who became a painter and was married to Arthur Rackham. After a short time at Clongowes Wood College he entered Shrewsbury School, Shropshire in 1877 and was the only Roman Catholic in the school. He became one of the Shrewsbury (Rowing) crew and was also Head of School before he went to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1880. Three years later he took his First in the Classical Tripos, and then abandoned the chance of a Fellowship to set off and wander in Italy and Greece.
 On his return to Ireland he chose to lead an academic career. Obliged to begin again as a freshman at Trinity College, Dublin, he won the first classical scholarship, the Berkeley gold medal for Greek and was later awarded the Madden Prize, which allowed him to travel in Palestine and Persia. In 1890, having obtained the highest recorded marks in classics, he became a Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College. In 1897 he published "The Wasps of Aristophanes", or "Vespae" which became the first of the Aristophanic works which established his distinction in the field.


In 2019, the APL proposed Dragonfly mission was selected as the fourth NASA New Frontiers mission.

# NASA selects Titan drone for next New Frontiers mission

NASA's Dragonfly mission will arrive at Titan, Saturn's largest moon, in 2034, flying across its surface to study how the planet's conditions might resemble those on Earth before life formed.

WASHINGTON — NASA announced June 27 it will send a spacecraft to Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, to fly across its surface to study how life there, and on the early Earth, could have developed.

The agency said it selected Dragonfly as the next mission in its New Frontiers line of medium-class planetary science missions.

Dragonfly was one of two finalists, along with the Comet Astrobiology Exploration SAmple Return (CAESAR) mission, the agency picked in December 2017 for study.

Dragonfly is scheduled for launch in 2026, arriving at Titan in 2034.

The spacecraft will touch down in dune fields in the moon's equatorial regions.

From there Dragonfly, effectively a drone the size of a Mars rover and equipped with eight rotors, will fly from location to location across the surface of the moon.

Scientists plan to have Dragonfly makes its way to a crater called Selk about 80 kilometers in diameter.

"We think that, at Selk Crater, the three ingredients you need for life were mixed together," said Curt Niebur, lead program scientist for New Frontiers at NASA, during a NASA webcast announcing the mission.

Those ingredients are water, organic compounds and energy.

"We want to get Dragonfly to that crater so we have a chance to directly investigate what happened when you mix those three things together."

Studying Selk Crater and other locations on Titan should help scientists understand what conditions were like on the early Earth when life formed, he added.

"We can't go back in time on Earth and learn the lessons about the chemistry that eventually led to life, but we can go to Titan and we can pursue those questions."

Dragonfly is designed to fly about 175 kilometers across Titan over two and a half years.

The spacecraft will use a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) to generate electrical power, storing it in a battery for use during flight and other mission activities.

"Flying on Titan is actually easier than flying on Earth," said Elizabeth "Zibi" Turtle, the principal investigator for Dragonfly at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.

Titan's atmosphere, she said, is four times denser at the surface than on Earth, and the moon's gravity is one-seventh that of Earth.

"It's the best way to travel, and the best way to go long distances."

Dragonfly will make extensive use of drone technology developed terrestrially, she said.

"This is actually technology that is very mature on Earth," she said in a later media teleconference.

"Really what we're doing with Dragonfly is innovation, not invention.

We're applying technologies that already exist to another planet."

Convincing NASA of that, however, was not easy.

Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA associate administrator for science, said that when the agency received the original Dragonfly proposal, if identified about 10 significant risks in its design.

"The science was so compelling that, when we looked at all the risks that were there, and there quite a number of them, we basically said we want to give them a chance."

The Phase A study completed by the Dragonfly team eliminated those risks.

One concern identified by reviewers was that a "vacuum cleaner" system used to collect materials for analysis by instruments inside the spacecraft could get clogged or contaminated by hydrocarbon materials commonplace on Titan.

Niebur said the mission made "some big design changes" to lower the risk of clogging.

Another area was demonstrating that Dragonfly could fly as expected on Titan, including its ability to fly autonomously.

"We can literally test as we fly" here on Earth, Turtle said.

"We can really demonstrate its capability by flying here on Earth before we fly on Titan."

One change from the original proposal is a one-year slip in the mission's launch date, from 2025 to 2026.

That change will give the Dragonfly team more development time, although doesn't delay the mission's arrival at Titan since the original trajectory had a longer cruise period.

"The team could benefit greatly by some additional time to work through some of the challenges," Lori Glaze, director of NASA's planetary science division, said.

"From our perspective, this gives this mission the greatest chance of success."

NASA hasn't selected a launch vehicle for Dragonfly, and launch costs, along with post-launch operations, aren't included in the $850 million cost cap for this New Frontiers competition.

Dragonfly will use flybys of Venus and Earth after launch to reach Titan.

Dragonfly was, anecdotally, the favorite among many planetary scientists over CAESAR.

That mission would have flown to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the same comet studied by the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission, and collected samples of the comet's nucleus for return to Earth.

Zurbuchen said that he selected Dragonfly for three reasons, one of them being its science.

"We have questions about this world out there, Titan, that frankly only now we know how to ask."

A second factor was the work it did to mitigate risks, and the third was the strong leadership of the mission.

Zurbuchen praised CAESAR and its team, led by Steve Squyres, best known for being principal investigator for the Mars Exploration Rovers and chairing the latest planetary science decadal survey.

"He has been a very aspirational leader for many of us," Zurbuchen said of Squyres.

"For many of us, he set the standard of what it means to build an integrated team."

CAESAR, or a mission like it, could propose for later competitions, although Glaze said the next New Frontiers competition won't be until about 2022.

"Some of the best ideas take multiple shots on goal before they become reality," Zurbuchen said.

In 2017, Domingo joined Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a member of the Actors' Branch.

# Barry Jenkins and Jordan Peele Among the 774 Invited to Join the Academy As It Pushes for Inclusion

## Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele, Elle Fanning, Monica Bellucci, Barry Jenkins, Kristen Stewart and Gal Gadot are among a diverse international group of invites.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences continues its quest to diversify its largely white male membership ranks and Wednesday's announcement of its annual invitation list numbered a record 774.

Among them are "Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins and "Get Out" director Jordan Peele.

(They can both choose between the writer and director branches.)

Writer-actress-producer Brit Marling (Netflix's "The OA") also landed an invite from the writers branch, along with British actor Simon Pegg ("Shaun of the Dead").

Indian stars invited include Aimir Khan, Irrfan Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and his daughter in law, Aishwarya Rai.

Other international stars receiving the nod include Monica Bellucci, Maggie Cheung, Gal Gadot, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Naomie Harris, and Rinko Kikuchi.

American adds include Leslie Jones, Kristen Stewart, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Colman Domingo, Viggo Mortensen, Mike Mills, Shari Redstone, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Joss Whedon, Elle Fanning, John Cho, Jon Hamm, Donald Glover, Channing Tatum, Rebel Wilson, Keegan-Michael Key, Gil Birmingham, Adam Driver, and Rami Malek.

Couples making the cut are Anna Faris and Chris Pratt; Carina Lau and Tony Leung; and "Moonlight" producer Adele Romanski and cinematographer James Laxton.

Under the leadership of CEO Dawn Hudson and president Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the 90-year-old Academy has been adding more younger members, women, and people of color to its 17 branches.

But after the 2016 #OscarsSoWhite controversy, the AMPAS became even more aggressive about asking its branch leadership to recommend new members.

While the Academy seeks candidates who have "demonstrated exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures," it's trying to move the needle toward inclusion, even while the industry itself continues to predominantly hire white men.

Joining the august organization is a singular honor, but many of last year's new members were surprised to learn of their inclusion — mainly because they hadn't applied for membership.

At the heart of the Academy's complex diversity issue is how much the Oscars reflect the way that the Academy likes to view itself.

And the Academy voters did far better with their 2017 Oscar nominations than they had the year before, when given 20 opportunities, their 6,000 members failed to nominate any actors of color at all.

Last year, they expanded their invite list and the needle actually moved.

More than 40 percent were international, from 59 countries around the world.

These changes were most dramatic in the Academy's largest branch, the actors: 29 percent of its 69 invites were white, versus 68 percent of 2015 invites.

So this year, the Academy, which now has a membership of 7,000, invited 774 new members.

Many are international, and 39 percent are women, which would move the total membership to 28 percent.

People of color comprise 30 percent of the new class, so that they would now represent 13 percent of Academy members.

Seven branches invited more women than men.

Now, the question is: What changes will the new membership bring to the Oscar nominations going forward?

# Burning cars and backflips: what went down at Twenty One Pilots' Brixton show

After over a year away, last night Twenty One Pilots' made their triumphant live return at the O2 Academy in Brixton.

Performing in a fairly intimate venue (at least, compared to their upcoming stadium shows), the duo debuted songs from their fifth album 'Trench' to an army of devoted fans.

If you couldn't get in, here's what went down:

The beginning of the 'Trench' era was visually marked in the 'Jumpsuit', with the car from the band's 'Heavydirtysoul' video still on fire.

So for the start of the band's new live experience Tyler and Josh obviously wheeled the car onto the stage at the Brixton academy and lit it on fire.

### The new stage show is madly brilliant

We knew it would be; but the band pulled out all the stops for their one-off show in Brixton.

Aside from the Heavydirtysoul-car, there was a wicked lightshow, CO2 cannons and a shed-load of Trench-era confetti.

Because would it be a Twenty One Pilots' show without them?

A post shared by Emily Carter (@emilycrtr) on Sep 12, 2018 at 3:22pm PDT

As the band finished with their usual closer, 'Trees'; but instead gone is the red confetti from the last album; instead the finale is now adorned with the yellow 'Trench'-era confetti.

### And now there's going to be a third Wembley show

The guys used their Brixton show to announce a third date at Wembley Arena next year.

that after selling out their two Wembley arena shows in three hours, the only thing to do would be to add on another night.

Tyler told the adoring audience: "we are coming back in March to play a full thing.

And we just thought maybe tonight-there's two sold out nights already happening…sold out in like three hours, which is unbelievable.

But right now, I'm announcing – I talked to Josh on the way over here today and said, "Hey, let's do a third night" so we're gonna do a third night."

thanks for hanging out with us tonight in brixton.

we added a third show at wembley next year.
