I'd check Costco first to see if you can get one there. - Best return policy:) When trying to decide what to freeze dry you can start by asking why. Start by asking yourself this question. Why are you freeze drying food? Knowing this should help you decide what you should freeze dry first. I'm freeze drying because: Just to freeze dry leftovers? You want to make your own food for camping/backpacking? For if/when the SHTF? For a short term emergency? You have your own garden and want to freeze dry the food? You love Costco but don't have a family of 6? You are good at finding the food sales but only have 1 freezer? When you cook homemade chili just for yourself you make 10 gallons? Because you have 3 full freezers and are worried about power outages? If I knew then what I know now, I would have freeze dried things in a different order. Or maybe not, because I started freeze drying because we had 3 full freezers, I was thinking of getting another one, and I decided I should buy a walk-in freezer instead. I started looking into walk-ins and realized they were expensive to buy (even used ones) AND expensive to own and operate. Then I found out Harvest Right was making home sized freeze dryers. One of my first thoughts was "I like Mountain House!" I have used their food for backpacking almost 45 years and we even kept some in our travel trailer, for just in case. Freeze dried food will stay fresh for many years and be ready and waiting when you need it. We do videos showing how we are using our Harvest Right Freeze Dryer to freeze dry food for long term storage. (We have the medium size machine that we got in August of 2017) We talk about how to load and unload the freeze dryer, how to know if the food is dry, is it better to freeze dry raw food or cooked food, and do a few taste tests. Freeze dried food is also great for prepping or just for camping and snacking!

In 1978, NASA scientists Donald J. Kessler and Burton G. Cour-Palais proposed a scenario where the density of objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) would be high enough that collisions between objects would cause a cascade effect. In short, these collisions would create debris that would result in more collisions, more debris, and so on. This came to be known as the Kessler Syndrome, something astronomers, scientists, and space environmentalists have feared for many decades. In recent years, and with the deployment of more satellites than ever, the warning signs have become undeniable. Currently, there is an estimated 13,000 metric tons (14,330 US tons) of “space junk” in LEO. With the breakup and another satellite in orbit – the Intelsat 33e satellite – the situation will only get worse. This broadband communications satellite was positioned about 35,000 km (21,750 mi) above the Indian Ocean in a geostationary orbit (GSO). According to initial reports issued on October 20th, the Intelsat 33e satellite experienced a sudden power loss. Hours later, the U.S. Space Forces (USSF) confirmed that the satellite appeared to have broken up into at least 20 pieces. While there are no confirmed reports about what caused the breakup, this is hardly the first time a satellite broke up in orbit. In recent years, satellites have been lost through accidental collisions, increased solar activity, or deliberate destruction (during tests of anti-satellite technology). What is known is that the Intelsat 33e satellite, manufactured by Boeing and operated by the multinational satellite services provider Intelsat, has suffered several issues since it was launched in August 2016, especially where its propulsion is concerned. An artist rendering of the Mission Extension Vehicle docked to an Intelsat satellite. Credit: Northrop Grumman The first occurred less than a year after the satellite was launched when it reached its desired orbit three months later than anticipated. This delay was reportedly due to an issue with its primary thruster, which is responsible for controlling the satellite’s altitude and acceleration. Another occurred when it performed a special maneuver that ensures satellites can maintain the right altitude (a “station-keeping activity”). During the maneuver, Intelsat 33e burned more fuel than expected, which reduced the time it would spend in orbit by three and a half years. In addition, another Intelsat satellite of the same model (a Boeing-built EpicNG 702 MP) failed in 2019. However, they are hardly alone regarding satellites breaking up and producing debris. In July, the Russian commercial satellite RESURS-P1 fractured in LEO, creating over 100 pieces of debris that could be tracked (and likely many more that were too small to detect). That same month, the decommissioned Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) 5D-2 F8 satellite broke up in orbit. On August 9th, 2024, the upper stage of a Long March 6A (CZ-6A) rocket fragmented in orbit, creating a cloud of at least 283 pieces of trackable debris. The geomagnetic storm that took place on February 3rd, 2022, coincided with the launch of 49 Starlink satellites, most of which were lost as a result. It is unclear how this latest incident will affect objects in orbit. Still, astronomers are hopeful that studying the resulting debris will provide insight into the growing problem of space junk. According to the ESA Space Debris Office, an estimated 40500 objects in LEO are larger than 10 cm (3.9 inches) in diameter. Moreover, there are an additional 1.1 million objects measuring 1 and 10 cm (0.39 to 3.9 inches) in diameter and 130 million objects 1 mm to 1 cm (0.039 to 0.39 inches). Based on the Space Debris Office’s estimates, this adds up to more than 13,000 metric tons, consisting of pieces of spent rocket stages, satellites, and other objects launched into orbit since 1957 – when Sputnik-1 became the first artificial satellite launched into orbit. In a 2009 paper, Kessler declared that the orbital situation had already reached the point of instability. As he wrote: “Modeling results supported by data from USAF tests, as well as by a number of independent scientists, have concluded that the current debris environment is “unstable”, or above a critical threshold, such that any attempt to achieve a growth-free small debris environment by eliminating sources of past debris will likely fail because fragments from future collisions will be generated faster than atmospheric drag will remove them.” In accordance with the 1972 Convention of International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects, the country that launched a satellite into space is responsible for its breakup and debris. However, this is only in cases where fault can be proven, and it has been enforced only once in the more than 50 years since it was signed. It is unclear if Intelsat will be fined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for this latest incident. Regardless, this latest breakup highlights the need for a more robust framework for mitigating future collisions and addressing space debris. In particular, tracking technology will need to evolve so that more objects can be tracked. At present, about 36,860 space objects are regularly tracked by Space Surveillance Networks (SSNs) worldwide and maintained in their catalogs. In addition, active measures to safely track and remove debris from LEO are being researched and developed, some of which have already been deployed. Examples include the ADRAS-J satellite, which launched on February 18th, 2024. Developed by the Tokyo-based company AstroScale, ADRAS-J is the first mission to approach and survey a piece of space debris. The Clearsat-1 satellite is also being developed by the ESA and Swiss startup ClearSpace Today. NASA is also developing the Active Debris Removal Vehicle (ADRV), a lightweight, single-use vehicle that will remove debris with a mass of 1,000–4,000 kg (1.1 to 4.4 U.S. tons) and at an altitude of 200–2,000 km (124 to 1240 mi). In the meantime, Intelsat continues to investigate the loss of both of its satellites. According to the latest update issued by the company, which was posted on October 21st, 2024: “We are coordinating with the satellite manufacturer, Boeing, and government agencies to analyze data and observations. A Failure Review Board has been convened to complete a comprehensive analysis of the cause of the anomaly. Since the anomaly, Intelsat has been in active dialogue with affected customers and partners. Migration and service restoration plans are well underway across the Intelsat fleet and third-party satellites.” Further Reading: Phys.org, Intelsat The post Orbital Debris is Getting Out of Control appeared first on Universe Today.

Is there something strange and alien confined deep inside the Earth? Is it trying to break free and escape into the heavens? No, of course not. But in a new soundscape from the ESA, it sure sounds like it. About every 450,000 years, Earth’s magnetic poles flip. North becomes south and vice versa in a phenomenon called geomagnetic reversal. This discovery was shocking since the planet’s magnetic field is such a foundational part of our environment. However, these reversals appear to be mostly harmless to life. Geomagnetic reversals are chaotic events. Though they occur on average about every 450,000 years, there’s no pattern to them. There have been about 183 of them in the last 83 million years, leading us to the 450,000-year number. But the last one was 780,000 years ago, and some say that we’re overdue for the next one. Sometimes, the events are excursions rather than full reversals. That’s when the field shifts for several hundred years and then returns to its original orientation, like the Laschamps event about 41,000 years ago. In an excursion, the field reverses in Earth’s outer core while its inner core remains unchanged. These happen more frequently than full reversals, but their exact number and timing are more difficult to determine since their effects aren’t global. The evidence for these reversals and excursions is found in paleomagnetism. Paleomagnetism measures the orientation of magnetic elements like iron in volcanic rock as it cools. By determining the age of the rock, scientists can determine the orientation of Earth’s magnetic field when the rock solidified. The history of Earth’s magnetic reversals is recorded where new magma cools as the seafloor spreads. Magnetic stripes are the result of reversals of the Earth’s field and seafloor spreading. The new oceanic crust is magnetized as it forms and then moves away from the ridge in both directions. This diagram shows a ridge (a) about 5 million years ago, (b) about 2 million years ago, and (c) in the present. Image Credit: By Chmee2 – derived from File:Oceanic.Stripe.Magnetic.Anomalies.Scheme.gif, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=18557170 During these excursions and reversals, the magnetic field’s strength weakens. During the Laschamps event, which lasted several hundred years, the field weakened to only 5% of its normal strength. Earth’s magnetic fields deflect cosmic rays away from Earth, and at only 5% of its normal strength, the field lets in far more cosmic rays than usual. Cosmic rays are high-energy particles, usually protons or atomic nuclei, that come from the Sun and from objects both inside and outside of the Milky Way and travel at relativistic speeds. When they strike Earth’s atmosphere, they produce showers of secondary particles. No matter how often they occur or what causes them, scientists are pretty sure that the Laschamps event was the latest excursion, and the European Space Agency decided it would be good if we knew what it sounded like. The ESA launched its three-satellite Swarm mission in 2013 to study Earth’s magnetic fields. Swarm measures magnetic signals not only from the core but also from the mantle, the oceans, and all the way up to the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Scientists at the Technical University of Denmark and the German Research Centre for Geosciences used Swarm data and data from other sources to create a soundscape of the Laschamps event. The scientists used recordings of natural sounds, such as rocks falling and wood creaking, and blended them into alien-like sounds that were both familiar and strange. The result sounds Earthly, subterranean, natural, and creepy all at the same time as if some ancient part of the Earth is writhing around inside the planet, which, in a way, it is. The first version was created in 2022 and was played as a sort of public art installation in Copenhagen. There were 32 speakers, and each one played the sound represented by changes in the magnetic field at 32 locations around the world. Check out the ESA’s SoundCloud channel, where they post their audio creations. The post This is What it Sounds Like When the Earth’s Poles Flip appeared first on Universe Today.
