The U.S. Air Force has provided no indication as to when the vehicle will land.

NPP was launched a year before still is working. Commsats last 10-15 years. Landsats have lasted decades. Pioneers, Voyager, MRO, Mars Odyssey, etc.
You think just because it lands, it is unique in its on orbit life?
MSL landed on Mars after traveling 8 months in deep space. Stardust returned a capsule after 7 years. Cassini landed a probe on Titan after 8 years.
quote:Originally posted by Jim Behling:Why is that amazing and why wouldn't it be still working? It is just another spacecraft.
The wings, landing avionics and guidance, landing gear, etc. have no bearing on OTV operating as a spacecraft or orbit duration. It is "just another" spacecraft is space. It has an operational mission on orbit and "being studied" after landing is the least of it.
My point still stands, what is so "amazing" about being in space for a year? Or for the matter how does being sponsored by the DOD vs. NASA have an effect on whether the vehicle is still working?

quote:Originally posted by SpaceCadet1983:...OTV-2 was on orbit for 469 days before returning to earth.
The current mission "seems long, but that's based off of the original [270-day] estimate. We don't have anything else to go on," [Brian Weeden, a technical adviser with the Secure World Foundation and a former orbital analyst with the Air Force] told Space.com. "And it's not long for other satellites. It's common for satellites, especially typical national security satellites that are well-designed, to be in orbit for years to decades."

In December 2012, the U.S. Air Force launched a miniature space shuttle into orbit. By the end of August, the unmanned space plane had spent 627 days on its classified military mission that seems to have no end.
Preparations for the third landing of the X-37B, the U.S. Air Force's unmanned, reusable space plane, are underway at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Looks like X-37B landing is off until tomorrow. New notice to pilots closes Vandy airspace from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m local time on Wednesday.
The 30th Space Wing and our mission partners, Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office, Boeing, and our base support contractors, have put countless hours of hard work into preparing for this landing and today we were able to see the culmination of that dedication.
With a program total of 1,367 days on orbit over three missions, these agile and powerful small space vehicles have completed more days on orbit than all 135 Space Shuttle missions combined, which total 1,334 days.
As for the factoid, I can't help but think that there's a tiny note of sarcasm behind it...
As for the audio in the video, I believe what you're hearing the X-37B itself. It landed at a speed of about 300 miles per hour.

Beyond that though, winged spacecraft are just as old as capsules (e.g. X-15, X-20) and are no more modern a concept. Comparing winged craft and capsules is like comparing pencils and pens — they are both valid solutions to a similar need with different benefits and drawbacks.
Even were the military to allow for an advanced, civilian version of the X-37B, it would still cost billions to advance it to a crewed version capable of supporting the needs of the International Space Station.
quote:Originally posted by perineau:I think it would make a lot more sense to pay Boeing to man-rate the X-37B...
With wings also comes concerns over the landing gear and additional training requirements.
As for the comfort upon landing, wings are not the only way to mitigate a "hard" landing (e.g. powered or propulsive descent).
quote:Originally posted by SpaceCadet1983:I know with the upcoming Orion EFT-1 mission coming up around Dec. 4, personnel there are probably 110%+ focused on it...
X-37B is supported by Boeing. EFT-1 is a Lockheed Martin spacecraft on a ULA launch vehicle. TOSC (Jacobs) provided some support to LM for ammonia servicing.
Here is a list of operations and the contractors preforming the work in the next few weeks.
X-37 would have just been another operation and Boeing would have sent people there to support it (just as they did prelaunch).
Just a point of info. Spacecraft that are sent to the launch site from the factory are accompanied by personnel from the factory, who perform the work on the spacecraft. The exception are spacecraft with high launch rates like GPS and Dragon, spacecraft with manufacturing collocated at the launch site (Orion) or reusable vehicles (shuttle and Spacehab).

Game industry news can be a bit depressing lately, with layoffs and shutdowns happening all over the world. Sony Online Entertainment's acquisition of Octopi is a refreshing change of pace. Octopi is known for their online collectible strategy game PoxNora. Under Sony Online Entertainment, they will operate as SOE Tucson.
While this news doesn't directly affect PS3 owners, SOE is one of the biggest supporters of PS3 -- the studios have already released a variety of PlayStation Network games, and are currently working on The Agency, FreeRealms and DC Universe Online. We doubt it'll be long until SOE Tucson works on a PS3 game of their own.

As children develop cognitively from pre-lingual and pre-symbolic stages to the use of language and symbols to manipulate concepts, their abilities related to later mathematics learning are also developing. Some of the most critical cognitive abilities for mathematics learning are memory, language skills, and the ability to make mental representations of number and space.
Young children begin using their memory abilities as they interact with the environment and recall those experiences. Infants will respond to familiar faces and music. Children enjoy retelling stories and singing songs over and over again. As they begin noticing environmental print, children begin to understand the role of letters and numbers as abstract representations for familiar things. Names of streets, stores, candy, and numbers on houses and roads begin to take on meaning. Children ask to be taught to write their names and memorize the markings. Some children are so delighted with their new skills that they make markings everywhere—on books, walls, and under furniture.
With formal schooling, memory tasks become more challenging. Children must recall the written character for letters, numbers, and other symbols used in writing and mathematics. They are required to remember math facts and the sequences for performing operations with numbers. In problem solving, children are encouraged to recall a similar problem type or situation. Memory tasks are more successful when children learn through concept understanding rather than by rote memorization. New concepts should be connected to real-life experiences of children so that cognitive structures are formed in long-term memory.
Language development is critically integrated with mathematics development. Children use language to express relationships, assign labels, manipulate concepts, and communicate understandings with others. Language becomes the mediation tool for performing more difficult mathematics tasks, as can be seen in native language comparison studies (see, for example, Miura & Okamoto, 2003). Teachers use carefully selected language to ask questions and explain new concepts.
Children with language delays may have corresponding delays in mathematics development. Cognitive abilities of symbolic thinking, temporal–sequential organization, verbal memory, and rate of language processing are language abilities directly related to mathematics tasks (Jordan, Levine, & Huttenlocher, 1995). Nonverbal mathematics tasks, such as the manipulation of objects without verbal requirements, are generally developed earlier than verbal tasks (story problems) and are less sensitive to socioeconomic differences. Jordan, Levine, and Huttenlocher examined the calculation abilities of young children (kindergarteners and first graders) and found that children with language impairments performed as well as their peers on nonverbal calculations but significantly worse on story problems (presented orally) than the non-impaired group.

I've been tracking this game since I came across it, heres some footage from Gamespot's EA coverage of the Wii version of the game. Hope you enjoy this interview of the developer or game tester. This game has 32 player online with no friend codes, so that makes this third party game a must have for any hardcore Wii owners out there.The graphics are Xbox quality with next-gen bloom and runs at 60 fps. The Controls rival Metroid Prime 3 according to IGN. This game is not just another cash in, it's an new level of the fps experience for the Wii. >>Yes, Wii zapper comes packed in.<<

- Vancouver Canucks Top Prospects
- Written by Michael Barrett
Jared McCann, C |
Shoots: L |
Height: 6-0 |
Weight: 174 |
Born: 1996-05-03 |
Hometown: Stratford, ON, CAN |
Drafted: 2014 by Vancouver Canucks, 24th overall |
October 2014- After finishing last season at an almost point-per-game pace (64-27-35-62), McCann returns to a very strong Greyhounds (8-2) team looking to improve on that mark. McCann has started well on that path, contributing four goals and five assists in just six games already. It should be mentioned that he is also already fifth in team scoring. Mike Barrett
October 2014 – Greyhounds forward Jared McCann has been named to the OHL's roster for the upcoming Subway® Super Series and will compete in the November 17th game in Kingston. Brendan Ross
September 2014 - Jared McCann was diagnosed with Mono just prior to the Young Stars Classic and therefore was unable to participate. He has since been sent home to rest and will rejoin his teammates in Sault Ste. Marie when he is back to full strength. Mike Barrett
June 2014 – The Vancouver Canucks selected Jared McCann 24th overall in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. Brendan Ross
August 2013 – After posting 61 goals and 131 points in 67 games for the London Jr. Knights Gold minor midget squad, the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds selected Jared McCann 4th overall at the 2012 OHL Priority Selection Draft. McCann enters his 2014 draft year as one of the more intelligent players as he is constantly showcasing his elite hockey sense. His understanding of the game is evident in all areas of the game and mistakes in his decision making are very rare. McCann makes the players around him much better by his ability to read the play and react before it unfolds. McCann is a complete hockey player and his shot is already well above average. With a 2011 Alliance Bantam Championship, 2012 AMMPHL Championship and 2013 Ivan Hlinka Gold Medal already in his trophy case, McCann has shown that he is a proven winner. Brendan Ross
Fantasy Outlook: B +
McCann projects as a responsible two-way centerman with scoring upside at the NHL level and will compete for a top 10 selection at the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Homesick Hoskins Could Have Blades Move
Will Hoskins has revealed that he made the switch from Brighton & Hove Albion to Sheffield United because he was feeling homesick.
Hoskins, 25 moved to Bramall Lane in January after struggling with injuries since his summer move from Bristol Rovers last year; he scored on his United debut in a victory over Wycombe Wanderers.
He told The Argus: "It's been a bit weird. Brighton is about four hours away from Nottingham, miles away from any family. It's been just me, my partner and two kids.
"I kept getting injured, coming back and getting injured again, which had a massive impact on me mentally. I got depressed and down. I wasn't myself and went to auto pilot when the opportunity arose. I just wanted to get back home."

One of my commercial tenants is a pawn shop. He's a sweet old guy that deals mostly in gold. When I first signed him up, I asked him what he carried and he said 'nothing'. He didn't like guns.
After expressing my sincere concern, I gave him the contact info of a good local training center and strongly recommended that he train & arm himself. A few months later, another pawn broker nearby is brutally murdered after complying with the robber's demands. I called him to talk about the news and he said that it actually was a friend of his that was killed. A couple weeks later, I check in on my guy and am pleased to see a G26 strapped to his hip, and he's already taken his courses and has his CWP on order. The next time that I saw him, he had a .38 snubbie.
Today I stopped by and he was sporting a GP100 .357, and he's now talking ballistics with me! LOL. Out of one tragedy springs a new responsible armed citizen.

Amazing Weddings at Goodwill
I had a great time at Goodwill's Amazing Wedding Event. There were so many bargain bridal gowns (brand-new, never-worn samples). Where can you get a $1000 dress for $149? I created 8 table setting ideas and themes using only items I found at Goodwill. Amazing!!
"Dressing" Easter Eggs
Have fun dressing Easter eggs with your kids this year. I'm not sure why, but fake mustaches are very popular. Personalize your eggs with markers, hats, rhinestones and mustaches!
Ombré paint style is also very popular in interior design and fashion. I've even seen the look on fabric, wedding cakes, even fingernails. It's a gradual change in color from light to dark (or vice versa). Or a graduated change from one color to another.
These eggs are easy to do, although a little messy. Mix dye according to package directions (I used food coloring), but fill cups with less water. It easier to hold the egg in the dye solution at the halfway mark. Gradually lift it out until you get layers of color. (The egg will be darker at the bottom). Repeat on the other end.
Make funny faces on your colored eggs, one for each member of the family. Use a permanent marker to draw mustaches and lips. Personalize each with giggly eyes, rhinestones and hats.
For the ladies, draw in eyelashes; add feathers and a mini Easter basket. Be sure to make place cards so Grandma knows which one is hers!
Easy Valentine Day Gifts from Sweaters!
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, but it's not too late to make personalized gifts for the loved ones in your life. These simple projects are made from sweaters I found at Goodwill.
The easiest idea are wine bottle covers. Just cut off a sleeve to fit, sew up the bottom and embellish!
No need for a card this year. The pink wine "cozie" sports a traditional VD greeting. Glue Scrabble tiles to a sturdy ribbon and add a vintage pearl necklace (two gifts in one!).
Or give someone special the key to your heart. For this one, I tied on a leather "chain" with vintage key and added a bracelet. Personalize your gift with little charms or pieces of jewelry.
Don't forget Mom on Valentine's Day. Every woman loves flowers. Send her a bouquet in a custom designed vase. Using the front of an animal print sweater, I wrapped it around a rectangle shape jar (the perfect style for tulips). Hem the raw edges so it doesn't ravel or if you don't sew, use glue.
If your Mom is anything like me, her coffee gets cold before she finishes a cup. Keep her coffee warm with a mug cozie made from the cuff. Make sure you use the finished edge at the top. Then sew up the bottom with a running stitch and cut a slit on the side for the handle. I embroidered a simple heart, but you could add more charms or pins. Something just for Mom.
There is no end to the gifts you can make for the special people in your life from sweaters.
I would love to hear your DIY ideas for Valentine's Day gift ideas.
Lacy Wedding Candles
Wedding season may be months away, but it's never too soon to start designing table settings and party favors, especially if you plan to make them yourself. Table center pieces for the reception or bridal shower can be personalized to match your colors or theme.
I found everything for this elegant table decoration at Goodwill.
Instead of buying fabric by the yard, look for lace blouses in colors to coordinate with your theme. Choose tops with a bit of spandex. A little stretch makes the project easier to do.
Start collecting wine and water glasses. They don't need to match, just pick ones that have a similar look in a variety of sizes. I liked the look of stemware with straight sides and they're easier to work with than curved glasses.
Coat the glass with a thin layer of Mod Podge (or make your own with equal parts white glue and water). Cut the lace to fit and attach to glass. You might have to hold it in place while it dries. Trim the top edge even with the rim.
Arrange the trio on a charger and scatter baubles or ornaments. The result is a high-end centerpiece, but you did it yourself!
- Remember to work with odd numbers
- Look for coordinating chargers, plates or trays
- Fill in with "jewels" or marbles, confetti, beads, pearls, whatever goes with your style.
Winter Wonderland Table Setting
I host several parties every December, some casual, some formal and some just "family comfortable". I use a set of Christmas dishes I bought at Goodwill (for a bargain). They're very festive with red poinsettias around the rim. Since I use them a lot, I like to change up the accessories. This year, I'm opting for "family casual".
For a homespun family meal, I used an old quilt instead of a traditional table cloth.
Fold the napkin to look like a bow (pinch it in the middle) and place it between two dishes.
I like to make sure every guest leaves with a party favor. This year, I found felt snowflake ornaments and added a crystal snowflake to the center with glue. They not only add a layer to each place setting, but are great little gifts (no wrapping needed!).
Nothing is cuter than little snowmen. Group them around a white feather tree for a charming centerpiece. Use red jingle bells instead of the usual confetti.
Now if I only knew what to make for dinner!
I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year!

Today Google announced that it will be rolling out a new version of its analytics package to all current analytics accounts over the next couple weeks. I couldn't be more excited. Google Analytics is an awesome (free) package that allows you to easily gather serious data about your website traffic. If you haven't tried it – you should – and what do you have to lose? It's free.
Two new features have been included that I have been wanting since I started using Google analytics.
1) Email and export reports: Schedule or send ad-hoc personalized report emails and export reports in PDF format. Exporting data from Google Analytics in a presentable format has always been an issue. Being able to schedule emails of PDF format reports? Now that is extra exciting.
2) Custom Dashboard: No more digging through reports. Put all the information you need on a custom dashboard that you can email to others. Finally. Now you can tailor the report view to the items that you, your company, or you clients need the most. Awesome.
Check out the full post – they even have a tour.
Thank you Google. Can I have my upgrade tomorrow?
