The semiconductor shortage is due to the growing demand for technology products as consumers globally continue to work from home. This makes the need to own a computer essential for home work applications as well as the need for the latest game consoles (such as Sony’s PlayStation 5) and hardware. The semiconductor shortage not only disrupted production but even affected vehicle design and production, Peugeot announced it would stop installing the digital instrument cluster on the 308 instead. use analog clock. The decommissioning will affect both Land Rover and Jaguar models as the XE, XF and F-Type are all produced at the Castle Bromwich plant. Along with that, both the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque currently produced at the Halewood factory will be discontinued. Land Rover’s Solihull plant will continue to produce normally, while its other factories in Slovakia, Brazil and China will continue unaffected. “Like the other manufacturers, we are currently experiencing some supply chain disruption of Covid-19. This includes the globally available supply, which is currently in effect,” said JLR spokesperson. our production schedule and our ability to meet global demand for some models We are working closely with the affected suppliers to solve problems and minimize effects on customer orders if possible “./.

Land Rover Defender has just been named the automotive design of the year 2021. This is the third time Land Rover has won the award after previous victories for Range Rover Velar (2018) and Range Rover Evoque (2012) and the latest is the global award for a 4×4 off-road vehicle. The World Automotive Design Award recognizes the best new vehicle for the past 12 months and awards vehicles that demonstrate the highest standards of engineering and design innovation. Professor Gerry McGovern OBE, Creative Director of Jaguar Land Rover said Jaguar Land Rover’s vision was to create a 21st century Defender by crossing the boundaries of engineering, technology and design while retains its signature DNA and reputation off-road capabilities. The result is an attractive 4×4 that resonates with customers at the highest level – the emotional level. The signature design makes the New Defender instantly recognizable, and the revised front and rear end design offers excellent approach and exit angles. Land Rover designers reimagined the familiar Defender models, giving the 4×4 a purposeful vertical shape and Alpine windows on the hood, while retaining the side-hinged rear doors and The external spare wheel makes the vehicle very recognizable.

The first mission, the Luna 25, is scheduled to depart in October this year with the first trip to the South Pole (on the Moon), where Russian scientists will study water vein under the thick ice. “In the next decade, the Moon will be the focus of our program,” said Lev Zelenyi, scientific advisor at the Russian Federal Institute of Space Research, during an online presentation by the Academy of Sciences. Country held on March 23. Luna 25 ship during assembly and testing before launching to the Moon. Photo: Roscosmos. Many companies in Russia have begun to sketch lunar exploration programs. Meanwhile, the US is aiming to probe humans with the Artemis program, combined with robots to carry out missions on the Moon. In December, China transported the first new lunar soil sample to Earth in a series of ongoing missions called Chang’an. India and Israel promise to launch the next ship to the moon after two successful landings in 2019 (the Chandrayaan-2 and Beresheet). However, only the United States can match Russia’s space heritage on the Moon. The Putin administration is getting back to the space race by continuing a series of missions called Luna, following the tail numbers from the Luna 24 they stopped in 1976. “We want to show our steadfastness,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to the Space , the Luna 25 is designed to study the permafrost beneath the lunar surface. Explorers hope to exploit them as a resource and gauge the danger posed by sharp pieces of moon dust. Upon landing, the ship will use cameras made by Europe to enhance the European Space Agency’s future lunar missions. Mr. Zelenyi emphasized, Luna 25 is just the beginning, the landfall on the Moon consists of a total of 5 missions with many stages being planned. The first Lunokhod-1 rover to operate on another planet. Photo: Wikipedia. In 2023 or 2024, Russia plans to launch the Luna 26 rocket, this time an orbital ship that searches for magnetic and gravitational anomalies on the Moon and captures highly accurate images of the locations. potential landing. Next, in 2025, along with the ship Luna 27, Russia will continue to return to the Moon. According to Mr. Zelenyi, this is the most important time. As the lander this year, Luna 27 will target the Antarctic and carry European landing software. Additionally, Luna 27 will be supported by a robot from the European Space Agency, which includes a drill that collects rock on the Antarctic Moon without melting compounds such as water ice found in the material. The lander will also carry a set of tools designed to study the solar wind. The solar wind is a stream of charged particles released from the sun’s upper atmosphere and traversing the solar system, affecting the Moon’s surface. The last two missions in the Luna mission series were told by Mr. Zelenyi that the launch date is not yet set. However, the Luna 28, also known as the Luna-Grunt, will be built directly aboard the ship before it to bring back to Earth frozen stored samples taken from the south pole of the Moon. Freezing the samples helps to retain water and other volatile compounds. “The specimens will be brought back, but different from those that have been brought back to earth before,” said Mr. Zelenyi. According to him, the specimen would be not only the topsoil (on the Moon) but all the volatiles and frozen impurities. This is the technical challenge. Eventually, mission Luna 29 will carry the new Lunokhod rover, continuing to merge with Soviet missions. In 1970, the Lunokhod-1 was the first rover to successfully operate on another planet. The car spent 10 months exploring the area known as the Mare Imbrium or Rainy Sea.

Photographs on Mars taken by a rover vehicle called Perseverance have stirred the Internet community since NASA’s latest robotic technology landed on the “Red Planet” in February 2018. Despite being two different planets, Earth and Mars still have similarities. Some pictures on Mars look quite similar to those of Earth’s Atacama Desert, Chile. NASA has spent time and money exploring this Mars-like land. NASA’s ARADS team is experimenting with the original rover on Mars in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2018. Photo: NASA. “You can argue that the Dry Valleys Valley in Antarctica or the northern central Atacama is the hottest place on Earth. However, some places in Atacama only rain every 20 years, even 100 years later, “said Brian Glass, a researcher at Atacama Rover (ARADS). This research uses the Atacama Desert to test field tools and techniques for future missions to Mars. Because the Atacama Desert resembles a dead and deserted land, NASA investigated and found it almost a “copy” of Mars. They have been testing rovers since 1997. The newest rover uses original tools, they try to find and detect life here. “Because if you can’t find life in one of the bariest places on Earth, don’t think about going to Mars looking for it,” explained Glass. The Atacama Desert stretches for more than 1,600 km in the northern half of Chile between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains. Glass says that to know how barren places like the Atacama Desert are, think about organic cues (such as life) to ambient noise. “The signal in the Mojave desert and remote parts of the US is still quite loud. You can still see shrubs, cacti, microorganisms, scorpions, insects; there is still an ecosystem there, ”said investigator Glass. Like Mars, the Atacama Desert has a harsh terrain with vast salt flats and towering volcanoes, including the most active mountain on Earth. Here, the night sky is very dark and has the largest astronomical observatories in the world. NASA investigated and found that this place is almost a “copy” of Mars. Photo: Mark Johanson. The driest place on Earth When scientists say Atacama is the driest place on Earth, they are referring to Yungay town. This town is about 88 km from the city of Antofagasta, NASA is doing research in this area. According to Mr. Glass, Yungay is a long valley with both sides of the hill being eroded by the wind. Land in Yungay is brown and quite barren, with no signs of life. In Yungay town there is a hand-carved statue of nearly 11 meters high. This statue, called Mano del Desierto, was placed near the town by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal in 1992. Although Yungay has long been considered the driest place in Atacama, recent research indicates that the title actually belongs to the Maria Elena South region, located about 273 km north of the nitrate mining town. Neither site has any facilities or attractions, but they are key points to the Atacama’s “emptiness” and similarities with Mars. Furthermore, because the McMurdo Dry Valleys Valley in Antarctica is particularly hard to reach, many scientists believe the valley is even drier. A hand-shaped sculpture of nearly 11 meters high is called the Mano del Desierto. Volcanoes and geysers While Mars is the “home” of the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, the Atacama Desert contains the most active volcano on Earth, the Ojos del Salado. This gray-brown mountain is about 7,000 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in the western hemisphere after Aconcagua in Argentina. However, this mountain’s permanent crater lake is said to be the tallest lake in the world. “When you look at this impressive mountain range, surrounded by volcanoes over 6,000 meters high, you will find yourself very small,” said Ercio Mettifogo, the adventure tour manager Puna de Atacama. To climb the top of Ojos del Salado, climbers do not need a lot of climbing techniques, although the altitude of the mountain is not small, but strong winds on the mountain up to 119 km / h and -29 degrees Celsius is definitely a challenge for surname. Most trekking takes place between November and April, the climbing period lasts 8 days for the climbers and 12 days for the amateur climbers. According to Mr. Mettifogo, Atacama Altiplano is often compared to the Tibetan plateau. The area near Mount Ojos del Salado, home to about 17 mountains over 6,000 meters high, has become a hub for adventure tourism. Farther north, near the tourist town of San Pedro de Atacama, another geothermal wonder of Atacama is the El Tatio geyser, dubbed the Yellowstone mini national park with 80 geysers of geysers that boil and smoke. raised suspicion. In the panorama of snow-capped volcanoes, El Tatio is the widest geyser region in the southern hemisphere and the tallest on Earth at 4,300 m altitude. El Tatio geysers are known as Yellowstone mini national park with 80 geysers of geysers boiling and smoke rising. Photo: Shutterstock. Salt beach and flamingos Much of the Atacama desert is barren like on Mars, but this land stands out with its beautiful salt-shoals, known as salares , with saltwater currents nourishing the life of a number of animals, including flamingos. There are many species of flamingos, including the rare Andes with yellow feet and black point wings, the smaller James flamingo with brick red feet and a bright yellow beak. In addition, the pinkest flamingo of all species is the Chilean flamingo. Chilean flamingos live in popularity along South America, stretching from Argentina to Ecuador. Pink-colored birds are easily found in Andes parks such as Los Flamencos National Reserve, near San Pedro and Nevado Tres Cruces National Park, near the city of Copiapó. “The salt beaches are also famous for the colorful lagoons,” said Gabriel Rojas of Turismo Atacamensis, guide taking tourists swimming in the turquoise lagoon in Salar de Pedernales, north of Nevado Tres Cruces National Park . There are also blood red, navy and emerald green pools in Pedernales, all connected on a three kilometer walking trail. Some scientists believe that, if humans do find signs of life on Mars, it would be historic salt ponds that formed in places like the Gale Crater and are believed to resemble what is found in the Altiplano of South America.

The clearest sky in the world The Atacama Desert is not only NASA’s test site for future Mars missions, but also where some of the most advanced planetary observations have been made on Earth. Northern Chile is home to about 70% of the facilities for Astronomy worldwide. The biggest projects in the 2020s including the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Extremely Large Telescope will all be set on bare hills over the next few years. “When night falls, silence and darkness will take over, it is unaffected by the lights and noise of the city, the place will turn into a path to heaven that makes you feel like can touch the universe, ”said Cristóbal Vergara, founder of Turismo Tembeta, a company that manages stargazing tours from the city of La Serena. The Elqui Valley, located on the southern edge of the Atacama Desert, has become a major center not only for scientists but also for stargazing lovers. “Along the mountains there is still mist from the Pacific Ocean, forming a few small clouds and making the sky clear,” Vergara added. To cater to your stargazing needs, there are nearly a dozen observatories near the Vicunã tourist center that are open daily for tourists wishing to see the stars in the hope of being able to get a closer look at Jackson Pollock’s sky. Many research facilities such as the Gemini South, Cerro Tololo, La Silla and Las Campanas are also open on weekends for visitors to visit. In 2015, the Elqui valley was named the world’s first International Night Sky Mecca. Thanks to that, the inns have transparent comfort to watch the stars begin to sprout like mushrooms, visitors can comfortably sleep under a starry sky.

Mr. Vergara said that the best part about stargazing here is that visitors are staring at “a place with great discoveries, technological advances and new astronomical discoveries that can help the future. hybrid of humanity ”. Atacama may not be as cold, harsh, or “alien” as Mars, but this land shows a “clone” of Mars right on Earth. Coming here to visit helps visitors to experience the feeling of traveling on Mars.

However, research by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) shows that humans can travel on the Moon at a faster speed than the astronauts on the Apollo. Theoretically, the time it takes to walk around the Moon is shorter than previously estimated. During the Apollo mission, astronauts “jump” on the Moon at a speed of about 2.2 km / h. According to NASA, this speed is quite slow due to the bulky astronaut suit, containing the pressure. If wearing a more comfortable outfit, the movement will be easy and maximum speed can be reached. Humans can walk on the Moon at a faster speed than astronauts during the Apollo mission. Photo: Shutterstock. Maximum walking speed on the Moon A 2014 NASA study, posted above Journal of Experimental Biology ( Journal of Experimental Biology ) tested human walking and running speeds in a simulated environment for the Moon’s gravity. According to the Live Science The team invited 8 people (including 3 astronauts) to use the treadmill on the DC-9 jet. The aircraft is piloted in a special parabolic trajectory, simulating gravity on the Moon for up to 20 seconds. Test results show that participants can walk at up to 5 km / h before running. Not only double the speed of the Apollo astronaut, the figure is almost equal to the average maximum walking speed of humans on Earth (7.2 km / h). The above speed is achieved because participants can walk while swinging their arms. This movement creates a downward force, compensating for the lack of gravity. One of the reasons astronauts on the Moon move slowly is not being able to swing their arms due to the tight suit. The footprints of astronaut Neil Armstrong on the Moon. Photo: NASA. If you apply the top speed above (5 km / h), it will take approximately 91 days to walk around the 10,921 km circumference of the Moon. Meanwhile, it takes 334 days to go continuously all the circumference of the Earth (40,075 km). Of course, that can’t happen because the Earth has an ocean. The same applies on the Moon as well. 91 days is just a number under ideal conditions. In fact, it will take longer to walk around the moon. Determine the roadmap and influencing factors Aidan Cowley, scientific advisor to the European Space Agency, says walking around the Moon is a possible task, but “too weird to be helped.” According to him, one of the biggest challenges is supplies such as water, food and oxygen. “I don’t think you would put them in your backpack because the masses are so great, even in environments with a gravity of 1/6 (compared to the Earth),” said Cowley, we need a support vehicle, also. is a shelter. “Many agencies are looking at the idea of ​​a pressurized rover, which will assist astronauts on exploration missions. They look like mobile bases, to store supplies and sleep at night, ”says Cowley. Adventurers also need suits that are optimal for mobility. Astronaut clothing is not currently designed for vigorous activity, but some agencies are developing suits that fit better, allowing wearers to freely swing their arms while walking on the Moon.

The rugged terrain on the Moon makes it difficult to find the right route, especially the craters many kilometers deep. Light and temperature are also two factors to note. “At the equator (of the Moon), during the day the temperature goes up about 100 degrees Celsius. By night, it drops to -180 degrees C,” Cowley said. The lunar cycle leaves some days with very little, or no sunlight. Therefore, at least half of the journey will take place in the dark. The temperature problem can be solved with rovers and clothing, but it also alters the regolith state – the fine gray soil that covers the lunar background – affects movement speed. Solar radiation is an important issue. Unlike the Earth, the Moon does not have a magnetic field that deflects radiation. “If the Sun emits a solar flare or releases aurora material (CME), your state will be very bad if your body is affected by the Sun’s high radiation,” said Cowley. The circumference of the Moon is 10,921 km. Photo: NASA. The final element of the quest is fitness. Participants need long-term exercise in conditions of low gravity, so that the heart and muscles adapt. Even when everything is ideal, one person can only walk at full speed for 3-4 hours / day. If you maintain a speed of 5 km / h for 4 hours / day, it will take you 547 days (nearly 1.5 years) to walk around the circumference of the Moon, in the condition of the road without a crater, no Affected by changes in temperature or solar radiation. Cowley thinks humans won’t have the technology or equipment for this task, at least until the 2030s or 2040s. “No agency will support such missions. But if some crazy billionaire wants to try, they’ll shake hands, ”Cowley said.
