The Unprecedented Rosetta mission to Comet 67P/Churyumov–GerasimenkoThomas Madigan
After almost 11 years in transit and 4 gravitational assists from the Earth and Mars, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta probe has arrived at the Jupiter-family comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Arriving on Wednesday, August 6th, the probe went into a 100 km-high orbit around the comet, both of which are now in common orbit around the sun. Depending on the comet’s activity, Rosetta will come as close as 10 km to the comet’s nucleus over the course of the mission. With a high orbital eccentricity (the orbit’s deviation from a perfect circle) of 0.640, a perihelion of 1.2 AU and an aphelion of 5.68 AU, 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is now in common orbit around the sun with Rosetta.
Rosetta is a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). It is an unprecedented landmark achievement in human history and the history of science. Humankind has placed a sophisticated instrument of science in orbit around a comet's nucleus and has placed a robotic lander in the surface of that nucleus! Rosetta will chase down, go into orbit around, and land on the object of interest. It will study 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko with a combination of remote sensing and in situ measurements. The mission has 2 phases, the ongoing orbital phase and the landing phase. During the ongoing orbital phase, the spacecraft will examine the comet up close with its suite of 11 instruments. During the landing phase, the orbiter will release the Philae lander which carries an onboard suite of 10 instruments for imaging and sampling the comet’s nucleus. The mission will track the comet through perihelion, its closest approach to the sun, examining its behavior before, during and after.
Providing an introductory retrospective of comets, sometimes regarded as harbingers of doom, Prof. Madigan discusses this historic mission, a mission that includes study of the comet from the surface of its nucleus!

Hello, friends!
In 1947, just 2 years after the end of World War II, tensions were increasing between America and the Soviet Union. Both countries emerged as Superpowers after the war, But there was a clash between their political ideologies. The heavy rivalry between the two was the start of a Cold War. Both countries were trying to develop their nuclear powers. So both countries were developing intercontinental ballistic missiles. A missile that might be used to deliver nuclear weapons from one continent to the other. From America to the Soviet Union, or from the Soviet Union to America. To cover such long distances, these ICBMs had to launch a rocket into outer space. Both countries knew that if either country developed a technology which can get them into space, then the country would have a huge advantage in terms of weaponry. That's why both countries were in fierce competition for getting into space first. This was the start of a space race between the two.
In 1955, America announced their plans of launching artificial satellites into space. Some days after this announcement, the Soviet Union said that they too wanted to launch artificial satellites. Two years later, in October 1957, the Soviet Union surpassed America in this race. They made history by launching Sputnik. World's first artificial satellite. One month later, they launched another satellite, Sputnik 2. This time, there was a living creature in the satellite, for the first time. A dog named Laika. America caught up to the Soviet Union in January 1958, When they launched their first satellite, Explorer 1. The competition between the countries was so extreme, the motivation so high, that space technology was progressing rapidly. In the meanwhile, an Indian scientist, Dr Vikram Sarabhai, was quite inspired by the development of space technology. Especially after the launch of Sputnik in 1957, he realised how important space development is for the development of a country. By 1962, he had convinced Jawaharlal Nehru, that India should have its own space program. Friends, this was the birth of ISRO.

SPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR MANKINDVishal Pandey
The space age started with the launch of first Russian satellite Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957.Ever since,the rocket powered launch vehicles carried state of the art scientific equipment to explore moon , the sun , solar system and the cosmos. This resulted in designing and fabricating the instruments having more than 6000000 components with reliability greater than 99.9999%. In 1960s man landed on moon and in 1970s the planetary exploration continued the space march. The comet Halley, which orbits the sun in about 76 years was photographed from a distance of about 500 kms in the year 1986. The success of launch and recovery of Space Shuttle made the space just another location in 1980s. This opened a variety of new vistas of science and technology.
When it comes to planetarium shows, “questions and answers” is our absolutely favourite time. But last week one primary school visitors took Q&A to the next level. They came to their Wonderdome Astronomy lesson with questions already prepared and written down! More questions came up during the show, so some of the prepared questions we didn’t have time to go through. There was only one thing we could do!
Here is a listing of some of my popular presentations. They are all highly visual and do not assume any prior knowledge of the subject.

Science teaching is a complex activity that lies at the heart of the vision of science education presented in the Standards. The teaching standards provide criteria for making judgments about progress toward the vision; they describe what teachers of science at all grade levels should understand and be able to do.
Life of every organism depends on certain basic processes. Excretion is one among them. Different organisms follow different modes of excretion. In complex organisms including humans, there is a specialized system for excretion called human excretory system.
The primitive blueprint for the heart and circulatory system emerged with the arrival of the third mesodermal germ layer in bilaterians. Since then, hearts in animals have evolved from a single layered tube to a multiple chambered heart in due course of time.
Cell Signaling is a phenomenon in which cells receive and respond to the signals or chemical messages from their internal environment or from the neighbouring cells.
Flight in bird is one of the most complex forms of locomotion in the animal kingdom. Flight in birds includes hovering, taking off and landing which involves many complex movements.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
