Rogers launches LTE Rocket USB dongle and mobile hotspot, revamps 4G pricing

On February 7, 2012, In Gadgets, News, by DaveShapiro

Hold on to your campaign hats people, Rogers has some blazingly fast new LTE devices for your consideration: the AirCard 330U LTE Rocket and AirCard 763S LTE mobile hotspot. Both Sierra Wireless 4G cards support the 1700MHz, 2100MHz and 2600MHz bands for theoretical peak downloads of 100Mbps, while real-world speeds will hover closer to 40Mbps. The latest dongle and hotspot for Rogers are the first to work on all three of its bands, and claim to be the fastest such devices in the land

Paul Allen-backed Stratolaunch Systems promises flexible, low-cost access to space

On December 13, 2011, In Gadgets, by westase1

When Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen , legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan and private spaceflight proponent Elon Musk team up on something, folks are bound to pay attention — especially when they’re promising nothing short of a “revolution in space transportation.” At the center of that ambitious goal is a new company backed by Allen, Stratolaunch Systems, and a massive new aircraft to be designed and built by Rutan’s Scaled Composites . If all goes as planned, it will be the size of two 747s (with a wingspan greater than the length of a football field), and it will be able to carry a 120 foot long rocket built by Musk’s SpaceX to an altitude suitable for launch into orbit. Stratolaunch hopes to do that for a “fraction” of the cost of current launches, and it intends to eventually send everything from satellites to manned capsules into space.

NASA’s Space Launch System to rocket into deep space, unravel the universe’s mysteries (video)

On September 14, 2011, In Gadgets, by braciejo41

The folks in charge of our final frontier have just taken the wraps off their latest rocket design, dubbed the Space Launch System. Unimaginative moniker aside, NASA’s prepping the SLS to take future astronauts aboard its Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle beyond Low Earth Orbit, and out into the vast reaches of our solar system. The launcher’s design, as shown off in the agency’s video render, was chosen specifically for its flexibile architecture, allowing engineers to adapt and evolve its build based on mission requirements

Russia’s RadioAstron telescope finally set to launch, blanket space with its radio eye

On July 18, 2011, In Gadgets, News, by Lobo

Considering all the space nostalgia we’ve been swimming in recently, it’s somewhat appropriate that a Cold War-era telescope is gearing up to make its maiden voyage, after more than three decades of development (and delays). The Russian mission, known as RadioAstron, will finally become a reality on Monday, when a radio telescope launches from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur cosmodrome before soaring into orbit some 350,000 kilometers away from the Earth.

Elon Musk says SpaceX will send a man to space in three years, Mars within the next two decades

On April 25, 2011, In Gadgets, News, by lsderotes

Elon Musk has never been one to shy from making bold predictions , which is why we’re not surprised to hear that he has high hopes for the future of space travel. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal , the SpaceX founder said his company will “probably” put a man in space within the next three years, in the hopes of sending passengers to Mars within the next ten to 20 years. Earlier this month, Musk’s company unveiled plans for the “world’s most powerful rocket,” the Falcon Heavy , just a few weeks before receiving $75 million from NASA to help spur the development of its commercial spaceflight projects.
