Ah...I figured it was less Star Trek antimatter-containment-pod and more like counting how many fruit flies survived shipment.

[grumpy old man voice] If you don't gotta destroy somefing to get it, it ain't loot.

The only thing getting looted is the player's pocketbook.

Even if it's just another approach to an "expert system," I'm still glad someone is working on something other than glorified sentence-completion.

The average risk is also determined by latitude bounds. With about a 10-degree inclination, this spacecraft will reenter somewhere +/-10 from the equator. Here's a fairly recent paper on the subject.
The high eccentricity of the probe's orbit makes it a little hard to predict. As I write this, I see it could have reentered a couple of hours ago, +/-9 hours.

The "System for [contract] Award Management" has been around since at least 2004, and maybe usable since 2009. I've followed links from Slashdot that led to NASA RFI's or RFP's on SAM. I'm not saying it's better than the other system (which I haven't seen), but it's nothing new.

This seems like the perfect opportunity for a company that wants to sell PC components to the consumer/personal user. It's an untapped market!

1) Hopefully they mean "objects launched" rather than rockets lifting off.
2) Either sun-synchonous or inclined GEO? Sun-sync is already used for Earth-observation spacecraft and other stuff of higher value.
3) Really efficient, articulating radiators?
4) Yo.

It's always nice to get more information from existing signals. There's already lots of work being done to find meteorites and reentry debris in weather radar signals.

Other than Win95&98, I haven't been really unhappy with their products. I'll buy the product and use it until it won't run on whatever new hardware. The "removal...from the real world" is that the customer is now the large-percentage stockholder (who uses neither Notepad nor Wordpad).

No, they watched it all right.

Does charge-only limit you to 5V/0.5A? Unless it's PD (communicating over the voltage lines), you have to hope the charger recognizes the cable's identifying resistor (or whatever) across the data lines.
