This document summarizes the Altaïr III CanSat project. Altaïr III aims to make atmospheric measurements during descent and perform a precision landing. It will use a newly developed parafoil for gliding flight and orientation. The 4-person team plans to improve on previous designs by implementing a stabilization system during parafoil extraction and developing the parafoil design further. Atmospheric sensors, GPS, magnetometer, and video camera will provide mission data transmitted via radio to the ground station.

The document discusses NASA's implementation of earned value management (EVM) across its Constellation Program to coordinate work across multiple teams. It outlines the organizational structure, current target groups, and an EVM training suite. It also summarizes lessons learned and the need for project/center collaboration to integrate schedules horizontally and vertically.
Here are the key lessons learned from Raytheon's perspective:
1. Hardware safety is the top priority. Don't over-test and stress the hardware beyond its limits.
2. Thorough preparation and readiness are essential for successful environmental testing. This includes getting customer concurrence on test plans.
3. Rigorous review and analysis of test equipment is as important as the flight hardware. All engineering work products, especially those not previously validated, require in-depth reviews.

This document describes a project to improve the processing and visualization of weather satellite telemetry data from the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM) satellites. The current tool (Cyclone) is slow, taking a long time to perform queries and generate graphs from the large dataset. The authors developed a new tool that ingests the data into Elasticsearch using Logstash, then allows users to quickly query and visualize the data in an interactive graph through a custom interface. Benchmarking showed their tool was over 5 times faster than Cyclone. While ingestion is still slow, the visualization component provides a quicker and easier experience to replace Cyclone. Future work could implement Apache Spark to improve the speed of data ingestion.

A Novel Approach for Ship Recognition using Shape and Texture ijait
Maritime security includes reliable identification of ship entering and leaving a nation’s territorial waters. Sea target detection from remote sensing imagery is very important, with a wide array of applications in areas such as fishery management, vessel traffic services, and naval warfare. Automated systems that could identify a ship could complement existing electronic signal identification methods. A new classification approach using shape and texture is introduced for Ship detection. Texture information can improve classification performance. This approach uses both shape and texture features. Feature extraction is done by Hu’s moment invariants with several classification algorithms. This paper presents an overview of
automatic ship recognition methods with a view towards embedded implementation on optical smart cameras. Therefore this approach may attain a good classification rate.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

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:

Like the previous versions, Altaïr 3 is build around an
atxmega microcontroller. This microchip provides the
processing power needed and has the interfaces required for
the sensors during the missions.
The sensors are:
− GPS providing position altitude and direction
− Magnetometer measuring the orientation of the
CanSat
− Sensor measuring an external atmospheric property
(such as hygrometry, CO2 concentration, …)

techniques, we decided to improve its reliability by adding
another layer of checksum.
We are currently analyzing the feasibility of using a cell-
phone antenna because cell-phones do work at similar
frequencies and have unidirectional antennas of very small
dimensions.
On the ground, the reception is done using the same radio
module, interfaced with a laptop via a USB/RS-232 cable.
On the laptop, we run telemetry software providing real time
display of data, possibility to command the CanSat (only
used for testing situations) and recording of the mission.

using the experience of past CanSats to design the new flight
algorithm.
The first step was to build a simulator in C (language used
to program the atxmega) that allows to debug and run tests
without having to throw the CanSat from a bridge. The
simulator allows to easily test the robustness of the flight
algorithm in many different configurations even modeling
wind from statistical parameters.
The flight algorithm is divided in two functionalities:
− Trajectory planning which decides of an ideal
trajectory to land on the target. This is the strategy
followed to perform the come-back mission.
− Servitude which makes sure that the CanSat follows
the planned trajectory as closely as possible. This is
the way the CanSat uses the servo motors to direct
itself.
Those are complementary and independent which makes it
possible to change the strategy without loosing the progresses V.CONCLUSION
