🗒 In April 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth’s stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of) the Earth’s atmosphere. It was launched from New Zealand and then, for 40 days, circumnavigated the globe five times at a latitude 40 to 50 degrees south. We recovered the capsules and successfully retrieved all of superBIT’s data despite the telescope itself being later destroyed on landing.

🚀 "Aerodynamics Design" - 16 papers - Call for Reading 🌤️

Aerodynamics is the discipline that studies the characteristics of fluids flowing around bodies, the resulting forces on these bodies, and the physical phenomena explaining them. Aerodynamics design can thus be defined as the engineering field, and ultimately the art, that leverages aerodynamics and uses them to actually “tailor” flows to produce desirable effects, usually modifying the forces acting on bodies for some specific conditions or ranges of specific conditions. It is therefore intrinsically related to the understanding of flow behavior that is a prerequisite to any successful design. Welcome to download and read the publications from Special Issue:
