AI Article Synopsis

  • This work introduces a new method for tracking rocket flights and determining their impact points using telemetry data and a slant-range device.
  • By combining angular data from a telemetry antenna with distance measurements from the slant-range device, accurate position components were derived during an actual flight.
  • The method showed that the impact point identified through this combined approach was 237.64 meters closer to the actual impact compared to traditional radar tracking, indicating a more efficient search area for payload recovery.

Article Abstract

This work presents an alternative method of getting tracking, and the impact point of the actual flight of a rocket, by telemetry data and slant-range device. The tracking and impact point data were obtained from an actual flight path by merging the angular components of a telemetry antenna (Azimuth, and Elevation) and the radial distance information provided by the slant-range device. The position components were analyzed with the telemetry antenna in automatic mode, target tracking, comparing with the tracking results performed by the radar. The result obtained by the composition of the coordinates of the telemetry/slant-range set, it was observed that the point of impact generated by this group had a distance of 237.64 (meters), in relation to the impact generated by the tracking of the radar. Indicating a significant reduction of the search area and can be used as na alternative form of use. It allows you to provide additional location information for payload recovery around the actual point of impact.

Traditional engagement with local governments often relies on financial and human resources from international or local partners, leading to direct implementation by organizations, which can hinder sustainability. While some organizations include sustainability indicators, few focus on transferring technical and financial ownership to governments. The Challenge Initiative (TCI) uses a phased coaching model-lead, assist, observe, and monitor-to build local government capacity for scaling family planning (FP) and adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health (AYSRH) programs.

Background: There is a common agreement that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is inherently complex; otherwise, a general disagreement remains on its etiological underpinning, with numerous alternative hypotheses having been proposed. Our objective was to perform a scoping review of original manuscripts describing hypotheses and theories of AD published in past decades.

Methods: We reviewed 127 original manuscripts that fulfilled our inclusion criteria out of more than 13,807 references extracted from open databases (from inception to 14 Sept 2023).

Background: Alzheimer's disease is defined by the pathological aggregation of amyloid-beta and hyperphosphorylated tau. AD patients often exhibit other symptoms like metabolic and sleep dysfunction. Currently, it is unclear if impairments are a cause or consequence of Aβ or tau aggregation.
