Re: [FRIAM] Riding Tours in Santa Fe

[Tom Johnson]

Jochen:
There are two places close by:   https://bityl.co/QHZZ
I rode with Broken Saddles ~10 years ago.  It is an interesting high desert
ride in an area known for now-abandoned turquoise mines, and the little
village has a few interesting shops.

[FRIAM] "Technology, like biology, does not exist in the absence of evolution. Technology is not artificially replacing life — it is life."

[Tom Johnson]

All:
I have been judging a contest for the Society of Professional Journalists
LA Chapter.   In doing so, I was introduced to entrants from Noema
Magazine, a publication from The Berggruen Institute
<https://berggruen.org/>. I have never seen a competition where entrants
from the same publication swept all five of the category's slots. The
magazine's sections are topics that will interest many of us, so check out
noemamag.com

And many of you will be interested in the article below:  "AI Is Life"
The Subject line above comes from https://www.noemamag.com/ai-is-life/
<https://www.noemamag.com/ai-is-life/>
The author is Sarah Walker, who some of you might know from SFI.

[FRIAM] Trump's expertise on magnets

[Tom Johnson]

During a "Commit to Caucus" rally at the North Iowa Events Center in Mason
City, Iowa on Friday, Donald Trump
<https://www.yahoo.com/news/enough-big-lie-104501475.html> still had a
great deal of energy left after spending most of the afternoon railing
against E. Jean Carroll in dozens of messages posted to Truth Social
<https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/111700883606589039>. In one such
post, the former president writes, "Except for a Fraudulent Case against
me, I had no idea who E. Jean Carroll was. She called her African American
Husband an “ape,” and named her Cat “Vagina." These exact words were then
re-posted in a steady stream along with a cherry-picked assortment of
screengrabs from E. Jean Carroll's social media archive.

Pausing that busy work to take the stage in Iowa, Trump then regaled
attendees with a fresh take on how magnets work, while also
finding occasion to loop in John Deere.

On the subject of magnetic elevators, Trump said, "Think of it, magnets.
Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop
it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets. Why didn't they use John
Deere? Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John
Deere? I like John Deere." After a bit more along these same lines, Trump did
a little dance
<https://x.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1743475842011869690?s=20> and left the
stage.

[FRIAM] "What Work Means"

[Tom Johnson]

FRIAM-ers:
Many of us, probably a majority, have spent a lot of years in or around
college campuses.  We dealt with students for decades.  The latest issue of
Harvard Magazine has an interesting essay by a graduating senior describing
his and his classmates' outlook on their future and the world.  All I can
say is I'm glad I am retired.
See "What Work Means
<https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2023/11/university-people-undergraduate-what-work-means>
."

Onward,
Tom

Thanks for passing this along, Steve. I wish, however, the authors of this
short piece would have included a definition of, in their usage, "Large
Language Models" and "Small Language Models."  Perhaps I can find those in

Yeah, that one has been around for a while and is, indeed, a deep well of
good stuff.

Re: [FRIAM] I am not Unique

[Tom Johnson]

For me, there is at least a fifth reason to travel:* to learn* how other
countries and cultures do things, usually better than we do in the U.S. For
example:

   - The use of cable cars in La Paz
   
,
   Bolivia to reduce traffic in the geographically challenged city.
   - The creative use of escalators in Medellin, Colombia
   

   to provide efficient transportation to work for the poor living on the
   steep slopes of the city's mountains. Not only have they benefitted the
   residents, but they have enhanced the culture by building libraries and
   community centers at transition points in the system.
   - Again in Colombia, the major cities are divided into economic zones
   reflecting the income of residents.  I recall that the zones are 1 to 5,
   and the designation is even posted on street signs. The key, however, is
   that things like utility bills are pegged to the zones -- Zones #1 paying
   far less than each higher zone.
   - Cities all over the world that attract tourists enhance their local
   economies -- and elevate the tourists' experience -- by closing off streets
   in the cities' historic districts to cars. (Hey, Santa Fe, are you
   listening?)
   - How about international airports that (a) provide luggage cars for
   free; (b) have directional signs in multiple languages, (c) have
   multi-lingual hosts and hostesses to give directions (in Mexico City, many
   of these folks are in wheelchairs; in Bangkok, many are attractive young
   women in traditional dress)
   - South Africa has something like 13 "official" languages. Go into its
   parliament visitors' gallery, put on headphones and dial up the
   simultaneous translation on any one of them. Ever tried to get even Spanish
   in the NM legislature?

I am sure many of you can suggest more.
Tom

[FRIAM] Needed: AI taxonomy

[Tom Johnson]

Nicholas Diakopoulos (@ndiakopoulos) tweeted at 2:57 PM on Mon, Apr 03,
2023:
Given the proliferation of AI models being released these days, do we need
a sort of Linnean system (i.e. kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,
genus, species) to classify and make sense of the space?

 AI News of the Week

I am going to be much more selective what I put here going forward, with
focus being only on the most important updates.


*1. ChatGPT Plugins*

OpenAi has just launched *a plugins marketplace* that will allow developers
to create custom plugins which integrate with ChatGPT.

Some of the plugins already demo-ed are Instacart (Use it to automatically
make grocery lists), WolframAlpha (Get accurate scientific calculations),
and more. It also comes with *a web browser and code interpreter. *

Read more about it here

to
understand it better.


*2. Google Bard*

Google Bard was released this week as well. It seems to be quite behind
ChatGPT when it comes to accuracy, but is much faster at generating
responses.

Check out this Techradar article
<https://pdmjer.clicks.mlsend.com/te/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjIzNzY4NSxcImxcIjo4MzU4NzI0MTEzNDI2MTYyNCxcInJcIjo4MzU4NzI0NzY2Njg5MDE2MH0iLCJzIjoiY2EzMzNjODI0OTZjYjBmMCJ9>
on it.


And that's a wrap for this week's newsletter! As always, feel free to reply
with any suggestions or feedback!

The Pre-College SIG Webinar Series consists of periodic online
presentations on K-12 education topics for Systems Thinking and System
Dynamics communities. These virtual presentations cover a wide range of
topics on K-12 education and bring together academics, teachers, and
students for learning and lively discussion. Our webinars aim to promote
and improve skills to effectively apply systems thinking and dynamic
computer simulation in K-12 education.

All webinars and recordings are free for both SDS members and the general
public.
Teaching Social Studies with Systems Thinking

Revolutions

A number of years ago I was invited to work with school teachers
incorporating systems mapping and modeling in their classes. The elementary
school people wanted a model or map of “revolutions”. They were frustrated.
Apparently, that was a unit in their curricula at the time, and no one
would help them build one. So we spent the first day with both elementary
school and high school teachers evolving together a pretty good map of
stocks and flows and feedback loops in a generic view of revolutions.
The second day, the high school teachers wanted us to build a simulating
model of what we had done the first day. So we did, together.
This presentation will retrace the work in both days. I’ll try to show how
we did it, as well as what we produced.

*George P. Richardson*

George P. Richardson is Professor Emeritus of public administration, public
policy, and information science at the Rockefeller College of Public
Affairs and Policy at the State University of New York at Albany. He earned
his doctorate under Jay Forrester at MIT and is the author of Introduction
to System Dynamics Modeling with DYNAMO (1981) and Feedback Thought in
Social Science and Systems Theory (1991), both of which were honored with
the System Dynamics Society’s Forrester Award.
George has played and sung acoustic folk music for sixty years. He has
ridden a motorcycle cross-country from NY State to Seattle, the Olympic
Peninsula, and down to Portland. He’s also ridden round-trip the fabled
Dalton “Highway” from Calgary to Deadhorse, AK, and Prudhoe Bay, 300 miles
north of the Arctic Circle. Both trips took less than sixty years.

Improving Context and Content in History Classes

History is the science of behavior over time. It is, by definition, an
indigenous subject of system dynamics, thus systems thinking. In this
presentation, we will give primary and middle school examples of using
systems thinking tools in Turkey's War of Independence. The lessons are
based on outcomes from the curriculum of the Ministry of National Education
in Turkey. Systems thinking tools are embedded in the lessons to put events
in the context of a time frame starting from 1300 CE with Behaviour Over
Time Graphs and to deeply analyze and discuss the events using Stock-Flow
Maps (conceptual Stock-Flow Diagrams).

*Özgün Kurt Çetinkaya*

Özgün Kurt Çetinkaya earned her Master’s Degree from Dokuz Eylul University
in Izmir,Turkey on Primary School Teaching. She worked as an International
Baccalaureate Primary Years Program class teacher for 6 years in Işıkkent
Primary School. She is preparing to start a PhD program and her research
interest is the Systems Thinking Approach in the primary years.

Visualizing History and Economics

students are thinking about and proces

Re: [FRIAM] Who wrote the essay?

[Tom Johnson]

I can't tell.  While what little I know about the deep dive on Copyright,
it is a very murky and often contradictory aspect of law.  Sorta like the
2nd Amendment: something written by the founders in a time when the context
it was addressing was quite different from what we have now.
And I have no idea how well ChatGPT can or does write in the first person.
And the answer is?

Re: [FRIAM] Eero wifi just not connecting

[Tom Johnson]

I have the Erro base station and three nodes. The nodes chain to each
other, NOT the internet, and ultimately back to the base station which
connects by cable to the modem.  I have found eero to be terrific, stable
technology.

Re: [FRIAM] cable modem?

[Tom Johnson]

If you're using Xfinity, always buy.  They rent a very good modem, but the
cost/benefit ratio is a ripoff.  That said, Xfinity itself recommends a
good Motorola modem available at Best Buy.  I have one.  It's been fine.

[FRIAM] FRIAM Homework Assignment: Gala Planning Sliding Scale Chart

[Tom Johnson]

Gents:

Attached is an Excel spreadsheet I am trying to create to assist in
planning a fundraiser for Global Santa Fe <https://globalsantafe.org/>.
I'm on the board.

My hunch is that it involves a series of nested components, but I have not
been able to come up with just the right harmony to solve the problem of
setting an appropriate ticket price given the variables reflecting
different potential site costs.

All assistance would be much appreciated.  Anyone up to the challenge?

Stanislaw Ulam Memorial Lecture Series *Mathematical Stories*

*Steven Strogatz, Cornell University*

*Tuesday, September 20th and Wednesday, September 21st @7:30 pm*

The Lensic Performing Arts Center
211 W. San Francisco Street
Santa Fe, NM
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8=db8492b651=661e7b42f4>
* Image: detail " Fireflies on the Kinu River" by Kiyochika c. 1930s*

*Mathematicians are known for using logic* and symbols and abstractions in
their work but, like other people, mathematicians are also storytellers.
Their work tells stories, too — stories of what is and of what might be. In
his 2022 Ulam lectures, Cornell University Professor Steven Strogatz will
describe how mathematicians have tried to make sense of motion and change,
of a world in never-ending flux. These are stories of intuition and
courage, grounded in rigor, humility, and awe. These lectures are
self-contained, and can be enjoyed together or separately.

Steven will be signing copies of his books in the Lensic at 6:30 pm, prior
to each lecture.


*Lecture 1: The Story of Calculus Tuesday, September 20, 7:30 pm
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8=67c22cf780=661e7b42f4>*
Everyone has heard of calculus, but why is it so important? In this story
of calculus, Strogatz illustrates the fantastic idea at the heart of
calculus — an idea that, in partnership with medicine, philosophy, science,
and technology, reshaped the course of civilization and helped make the
world modern. It is, Strogatz argues, one of the greatest-ever triumphs of
human creativity.


*Lecture 2: The Story of Sync Wednesday, September 21, 7:30 pm
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8=eaa53cb6e7=661e7b42f4>*
Every night along the tidal rivers of Malaysia, thousands of male fireflies
congregate in the mangrove trees and flash on and off in unison. Similarly
astonishing feats of synchronization occur throughout the natural and
technological world. In this story of sync, Strogatz describes how our
understanding of synchronization has evolved over the centuries and shares
exciting new results and unsolved problems about how the structure of a
network affects its tendency to get in sync..

*Steven Strogatz
<https://santafe.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=79c079dcc0c23b9582f9727c8=a57fff1594=661e7b42f4>*
is
the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell
University. After graduating from Princeton in 1980, Strogatz studied at
Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a Marshall Scholar. He did his
doctoral work in applied mathematics at Harvard, followed by a National
Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard and Boston
University.

Subject: Russia's 'Oculus' to use AI to scan sites for banned information
Source: BleepingComputer
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/russias-oculus-to-use-ai-to-scan-sites-for-banned-information/

Russia’s internet watchdog Roskomnadzor is developing a neural network that
will use artificial intelligence to scan websites for prohibited
information.

Called “Oculus,” the automatic scanner will analyze URLs, images, videos,
and chats on websites, forums, social media, and even chat/messenger
channels to locate material that should be redacted or taken down.

Examples of information targeted by Oculus include homosexuality
“propaganda,” instructions on manufacturing weapons or drugs, and
misinformation that discredits official state and army sources.

The system will also look for calls of mass protests, expressions of
disrespect for the state, and even “signs” of extremism and terrorism.

The real-time scanning capacity of Oculus will be 200,000 images per day,
or about 2.3 images per second, for which the vendor, Eksikyushn RDC LLC,
will use 48 servers with powerful GPUs.

Oculus will be integrated onto the Unified Analysis Module, a network of
monitoring systems currently under development, aiming to give the
government a firm grip on controlling information flow.

Re: [FRIAM] FW: [EXT] [Latest News] OTC Hearing Aids Are Finally Here, Phonak Audéo vs Audéo Life, and More

[Tom Johnson]

I have both price versions.  I think the $300 models are a bit better, i.e.
more stable in operating, but not by much.  Both tend to react with
higher frequencies, so the tones will not be similar to normal voices.

[Tom Johnson]

I have a very good copy of Kauffman's book, "The Origins of Order:
Self-organization and Selection in Evolution."  If anyone in Santa Fe and
coming to FRIAM at St John's this week, I would be glad to pass it along to
a good home, first come, first serve.

[FRIAM] Fwd: Our New Film

[Tom Johnson]

Ben is a long-time friend, a former prof. of public health at UNM, a story
teller and a fiddle player.  I think I have seen all the documentaries he's
made, so this one promises to be as good as all the others.  And the topic
is important and timely.
Please contribute if you can.

Subject: Our New Film
To:


Dear Friends,

Mary and I are working on an exciting new film project, a documentary about
New Mexico’s rural libraries!
We’ve been filming in Vallecitos, The Pueblo of Abiquiu, El Rito, and
Dixon, and will be visiting other village libraries around
the state. We’re donating our time and equipment to this film project
because we’ve seen how important these small rural libraries
are to the social and educational fabric of their communities.

We’ve applied for several grants to support production and post-production
expenses, but won’t hear until early winter.
In the meantime, if you’re interested and able, we’d appreciate any
contribution, like a check to Tijeras Institute/Films, a 501c3
non-profit--- and in addition to a credit, you get a tax deduction.
Tijeras Films, PO Box 2953, Corrales, NM, 87048
Or you can donate to our PayPal giving account, it may be easier:
https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/1984463
We’ve attached a precis about the film, and happy to answer any questions.
Thanks so much for any help!

Yes, my Motorola modem has both 2.5 and 5g channels.  I connect my LAN to
the 5G and have a booster on my laptop (whose modem is not 5G) to connect
it to the modem/router wifi.  Both work fine.

A big dump truck took out a bunch of lines at the intersection of Cerrillos
and Richardson around noon on Wednesday.  The Xfinity lines took down every
thing in , I think , ZIP Codes 87501, 87502 and 87505.  And if there are
multiple fiber lines, it's going to take time to resolve.

Hello OCCRP Reader,

Today, OCCRP launched a timely project that draws on the work of our
network of journalists and 26 other media partners. It’s called the Russian
Asset Tracker.
<https://occrp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a7b7dd3a0e2c0adfe8fae715=925768427d=5540b69d84>

<https://occrp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a7b7dd3a0e2c0adfe8fae715=0e3d221165=5540b69d84>

The Russian Asset Tracker has an ambitious goal: to identify and catalog
every foreign asset belonging to several dozen members of Russia’s ruling
class — some of whom have blood on their hands. As of its launch today, the
tracker lists more than $17 billion in assets linked to oligarchs and
enablers of Vladimir Putin’s regime, and we have much more to go.

Despite unprecedented sanctions implemented in the wake of the invasion of
Ukraine, some of Russia’s most high-profile oligarchs still control bank
accounts, yachts, mansions, planes, and other lucrative assets in Western
countries.

That’s because Vladimir Putin’s allies have learned to master the dark art
of obscuring ownership. The tactics they use to hide their wealth will be
familiar to readers of OCCRP: opaque corporate structures, secret bank
accounts, and proxies that reach far offshore.
See the Assets Here
<https://occrp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a7b7dd3a0e2c0adfe8fae715=1728a4d506=5540b69d84>

Some of these assets have been reported before. Some are being revealed
here for the first time. Some are still to be discovered and verified.  You
can expect more assets and Kremlin allies to be added for months to come
— and you can help with this effort. If you are aware of anything we’ve
missed, please let us know by filling out this form
<https://occrp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a7b7dd3a0e2c0adfe8fae715=0dbd534d18=5540b69d84>
.
*A RUSSIAN ASSET TRACKER WEBINAR*
Want to learn more about the Russian Asset Tracker, oligarchs, and their
assets? By making a donation, you can join our upcoming event *April 1 at
11 a.m. EST,* featuring journalists from the project who will take you
behind the scenes of what it takes to find mansions, yachts, and other
luxury items purchased by people who go to great lengths to keep their
names off official records.

*Donate Now*
<https://occrp.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8a7b7dd3a0e2c0adfe8fae715=44e6b03b9c=5540b69d84>

Make sure to follow us on social media, where we’ll publish new information
as it gets added to the Russian Asset Tracker.

Thank you for reading and we’ll keep digging,
Drew Sullivan

The Plain View

In 1942, smokers of one of the leading cigarette brands noticed a change in
the packaging. The green background on Lucky Strike boxes was now white.
The American Tobacco Company’s official explanation was that copper, used
to produce the green pigment, was at a premium during wartime. To support
the Allied troops, the cigarette maker “sacrificed” by abandoning the green
dye. In what might be called midcentury virtue signaling, the firm rolled
out a massive ad campaign with the slogan, “Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to
War.”

The current Russian invasion of Ukraine has offered a similar opportunity
for a contemporary industry that has occasionally been compared to the
tobacco cartel—Big Tech. Multiple times a day, we read about how technology
companies ranging from trillionaire giants to startups are prioritizing
wartime responsibilities and denying services to Russia or aiding Ukraine.
Some of these moves have directly impacted the battlefield, if you extend
the war theater to digital cyberstructure as well as the global fight for
hearts and minds. The decisions of Meta, Twitter, Google, and
Microsoft to block
or constrain the Russian news agencies

Sputnik and RT, for instance, represents an attempt to preemptively
mitigate disinformation. Other measures fall in the category of an overall
boycott of a country brutally attacking another without provocation, or
offering aid to the disenfranchised. Apple, for instance, closed its stores

[FRIAM] Coverage of Russia

[Tom Johnson]

One of the best sources of news coverage on Russia is Meduza, a newspaper
largely staffed by reporters who fled Russia some years ago for Riga,
Latvia. Meduza still has strong, reliable, and multiple sources in Russia.
And, if your Russian isn't so hot, the Meduza English language site is very
good. Please visit and send some bucks. https://meduza.io/en

Marcus is right.  But also, with Google Docs, just connect to the desired
folder.  Hover over the folder.  Right click.  Select "Download."  Google
Zips the files and downloads to your desktop.

Re: [FRIAM] Dumb phones?

[Tom Johnson]

I doubt it's the phone that's the problem.  It's your carrier and/or the
fact that random numbers are dialed.  And if you ever answered one of those
calls, that puts you into a special class of Let's-Call-Him-Again, a
category that is sold and resold to other bad guys.

Re: [FRIAM] Position Available

If so, such photos are rare.  I don't know about where you are, but there
is an accurate terms in the U.S. -- "food deserts."  That is, a lack of
supermarkets selling wholesome, fresh vegetables, fruits and meats.
Consequently, the poor often have few choices except to buy high-priced,
high-calorie, high-sugar food for themselves and family.

[FRIAM] Still interested in System Dynamics?

[Tom Johnson]

Good people:
Should any of you still be interested in System Dynamics (or Dynamic
Systems), I watched an interesting webinar a couple days ago on System
Dynamics and Urban Housing.  A couple take-aways:
* "Temporary" housing not only does not alleviate the difficulties but may,
in fact, make things worse.
* Key Point:  Public administrators around the world are locked into the
"bookkeeper's perspective" of collecting data (qualitative, quantitative
and GIS), failing to see how the data of their particular silo relates to
the data (and overall dynamic systems of urban places) in other departments
silos.  [Of course, you knew that, but that administrative cultural
ecosphere leads to the equivalent of "locked in" policies and processes.]

The presentations can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csp-lg4qE7w

What Makes Elon Musk Move So Fast

*SpaceX
is assembling its giant Starship rocket at an incredible pace. Here are
some clues on how it does it.*

*By Frederic Filloux

*

This episode was supposed to be about the funding of the New Space, but I
still need to secure a couple of interviews. Plus, I wanted to share new
findings on the “Elon Musk method.” The idea emerged from a two-hour video
featuring the SpaceX founder touring its South Texas facility where the
megarocket Starship is being assembled. The erudite YouTuber Tim Dodd

had a chance to walk through the huge tents, buildings, and launchpad,
guided by Musk.

There are reasons to be fascinated by the size and scope of Musk’s latest
endeavor: the Starship rocket is 120 meters high, the equivalent of an
almost 40-story building, taller than the iconic Saturn V. Except this one
will be fully reusable and quite versatile, as it will be able to put 100
tonnes in orbit. That’s four times Falcon 9’s capacity, and it will also
ferry astronauts to the Moon and eventually to Mars. Last week marked a
milestone, with, for the first time, the two parts of the rocket being
stacked upon each other in a spectacular fashion:

What is even more stunning is the pace at which SpaceX is putting together
all the components: buildings, such as the 400-foot metallic structure that
will capture the first stage of the rocket upon landing, are built and
assembled in parallel to various iterations of the rocket itself. As it was
running out of hangars, the company deployed huge tents to host the most
critical phases of manufacturing. No wasted time here.

Tim Dodd’s video features an unpolished Elon Musk, sweating in the early
evening heat of South Texas, sleep-deprived, afflicted with serious back
pain, uncaring about his physical appearance but always intense and
obsessive. As geeky as it is, the interview definitely has a documentary
value.

But in addition to that value, there are other things that we can mention
about how the Musk method applies to building a giant spaceship. Here are
five arbitrarily chosen clues into SpaceX’s culture and method.
1 . Musk’s Engineering Philosophy

I already covered the Musk method for making cars in the Monday Note series
about EVs (read *How Tesla cracked the code of automobile innovation*
),
but SpaceX founder made some adaptations for rocket manufacturing:

*“Step one: Make the requirements less dumb. The requirements are
definitely dumb; it does not matter who gave them to you. It’s particularly
dangerous when they come from an intelligent person, as you may not
question them enough. Everyone’s wrong. No matter who you are, everyone is
wrong some of the time. All designs are wrong, it’s just a matter of how
wrong.”*

*“Step two: try very hard to delete the part or process. If parts are not
being added back into the design at least 10% of the time, [it means that]
not enough parts are being deleted. The bias tends to be very strongly
toward ‘let’s add this part or process step in case we need it.
Additionally, each required part and process must come from a name, not a
department, as a department cannot be asked why a requirement exists, but a
person can”.*

*“Step three: simplify and optimize the design. This is the most common
error of a smart engineer, to optimize something that should simply not
exist”.*

*“Step four: accelerate cycle time. You’re moving too slowly, go faster!
But don’t go faster until you’ve worked on the other three things first.”*

*“The final step is: automate. An important part of this is to remove
in-process testing after the problems have been diagnosed; if a product is
reaching the end of a production line with a high acceptance rate, there is
no need for in-process testing. I have personally made the mistake of going
backwards

A NEW MONDAY NOTE SERIES
Creating an AWS in Orbit.
Nothing Less.

*Loft
Orbital wants to develop a space infrastructure that will have the
flexibility of ground-based cloud services. Last Wednesday, the US-French
startup put its two first satellites in orbit.*

*by Frederic Filloux

*For a satellite operator, a launch is always the moment of utmost stress.*
Especially when its two spacecraft are put in orbit simultaneously. But
this particular Wednesday, June 30 on Launchpad 40-A at Cape Canaveral,
Loft Orbital is literally betting the farm. After four years of hard work,
in San Francisco, Toulouse, France, and Golden, Colorado, the two
satellites dubbed YAM-2 and YAM-3 (for *Yet Another Mission, *YAM-1 was a
drawing board concept), are supposed to reach a low earth orbit, 500 km
above earth, in less than two hours.

With this “Transporter-2 Mission,” SpaceX reaffirms its status as the *de
facto* bulk carrier for the modern space age with at least three
Transporter missions scheduled each year. Today, it carries no less than 88
satellites for dozens of customers of all kinds, ranging from the US
military to foreign space agencies and private companies. Most of the
assets are mini-sats — roughly the size of a washer — and a bunch of
“CubeSats.” The previous Transporter-1 mission, on January 24, carried 143
satellites and the whole system is so flexible and commoditized that when a
client is not ready, SpaceX can just substitute Starlink satellites to
reach the nominal payload of 23 tons that will be released on polar,
sun-synchronous orbits.

For the inaugural launch, the president and co-founder of Loft Orbital,
Antoine de Chassy, has invited the Toulouse team to his home located in
Hossegor, a notorious surf spot on the French Atlantic coast. Most of them
have aerospace or signal analysis engineering backgrounds. They are quite
young and enthusiastic. It looks like a student gathering at an American
college, especially since English is widely used at Loft.

But what was supposed to be a fun evening is now turning into a
nerve-racking experience.

The flight has already been postponed three times by SpaceX. Four days
earlier, less than 24 hours before lift-off, an acoustic blanket inside the
payload fairing needed to be readjusted; the 70-meter Falcon 9 had to be
brought back to the assembly building, its 13-meter top reopened in a
cleanroom. And on Tuesday, as the countdown was underway, a commercial
airplane entered the exclusion zone, prompting the launch director to
freeze the countdown… 11 seconds before the lift-off. Given the narrow
launch window of 58 minutes to reach near-polar orbit, the flight had to be
scrubbed, once again.

So today is the day. Hopefully.

At 3:31 pm Florida time (9:31 pm in Europe), Falcon 9 clears the Cape
Canaveral tower, bending its trajectory southward to reach the speed of 8
km/second necessary to stay in orbit. Eight minutes into the flight, the
second stage of the rocket has completed its orbital injection, coasting at
28,631 kilometers per hour at an altitude of 207 km over the Gulf of
Mexico. Nearly at the same moment, the first stage landed safely back to
the Cape, giving a spectacular view of the booster spitting a huge plume of
flame with the ocean in the background.

That was the easy part, so to speak. After all, this is the 100th
consecutive successful mission in a row for Falcon 9, which, so far, had a
99% success rate, so the uncertainty lies elsewhere.

53 minutes into the flight, the deployment of the satellites begins. The
rocket is now cruising at an altitude of 537 km. They are attached to the
main structure horizontally, like the branches of a Christmas tree, and
deployed in a precisely choreographed sequence.

Loft Orbital’s YAMs sats are in positions 3 and 26 respectively. At T+1
hour and 21 seconds, as the vehicle is passing over the southern tip of Sri
Lanka, the video feed from SpaceX shows the smooth expulsion of the first
sat. The deployment operator announces quietly “YAM-3, separation
confirmed”.

We can see and hear everyone cheering at Loft’s San Francisco headquarters
and in Toulouse, where the two mission control centers are located. Eight
minutes later, right above the Himalayas, YAM-2 is also silently released
from Falcon 9 (below).
