The Space Launch System (SLS) uses two five-segment solid rocket boosters based on the space shuttle booster design. Each booster is 177 feet long and weighs 1.6 million pounds, generating 3.6 million pounds of thrust. Together the boosters provide over 75% of the thrust needed for launch. The addition of a fifth segment allows the SLS to carry more payload than the shuttle to destinations like the Moon and Mars. The boosters are constructed of steel from prior shuttle flights and undergo testing before being stacked on the mobile launcher below the SLS core stage.

Do you want to go into space? To float weightless? To look down at the whole Earth from the blackness of space? It’s an exciting time for private space travel. Many new space companies have been founded in just the last few years. Most are working toward the goal of ordinary people going to space.
This presentation summarizes current space tourism programs, from weightless rides in a Zero G plane to trips to the International Space Station. It also presents an overview of near-future private space projects, including SpaceShipTwo suborbital rocket flights, orbital rides in the Dragon capsule, and the private Genesis space hotel currently being built in orbit.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Space Launch System Solid Rocket Booster
1. NASA

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Space Launch System
Solid Rocket Booster
NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) solid rocket
booster is based on three decades of knowledge and
experience gained with the space shuttle booster, and
improved with the latest technology.
NASA’s new rocket, the SLS, is the only rocket that
can send the Orion spacecraft, astronauts, and a
large cargo to the Moon on a single mission.
The boosters contribute to the power that SLS needs
to launch payloads with more mass and volume to
deep space than any rocket ever built. This makes it
possible to send astronauts to distant destinations
including Mars.
Solid Rocket Booster Details
Length: 177 feet
Diameter: 12 feet
Weight: 1.6 million pounds each
Propellant: polybutadiene
acrylonitrile (PBAN)
Thrust: 3.6 million pounds each
Operation time: 126 seconds
2. Five-Segment Solid Rocket Booster
The SLS booster is the largest, most powerful solid propel-
lant booster that will ever fly. Standing 17 stories tall and
burning approximately six tons of propellant every second,
each booster generates more thrust than 14 four-engine
jumbo commercial airliners. Together, the SLS twin boosters
provide more than 75 percent of the total SLS thrust at
launch.
The major physical difference between the shuttle and SLS
boosters is the addition of a fifth propellant segment to the
four-segment shuttle booster, allowing NASA’s new launch-
er to lift more weight than the shuttle. Additionally, the SLS
booster will be optimized for a single use, while the shuttle
booster was designed to be reused. Though based on the
shuttle booster, the SLS booster benefits from several
design, process, and testing improvements for greater
performance, safety, and affordability.
All booster components use steel cases repurposed from
cases used on prior space shuttle flights. The five booster
motors are manufactured by Northrop Grumman in Utah.
The motors that include the propellant are the largest single
component of each booster. They undergo a rigorous
nondestructive inspection process to confirm each motor’s
readiness for flight.
Solid Rocket Booster Improvements
25 percent more propellant
New nozzle design
New asbestos-free insulation
New liner configuration
New avionics
Improved nondestructive evaluation processes
Artemis I boosters and core stage in the Vehicle Assembly
Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida (side view).
The first booster motor segment for the Artemis IV flight was
cast with propellant Nov. 2, 2021.
Flight Support Booster-1 (FSB-1) underwent a hot fire in Sep-
tember 2020 to evaluate materials and processes for future
missions.
3. The other booster components are assembled in the
Booster Fabrication Facility at Kennedy.
The booster forward skirt houses booster avionics that
communicate with the SLS avionics to monitor booster
conditions and steer the booster exhaust nozzle.
The aft skirt contains the thrust vector control system that
steers the nozzle based on commands from the booster
avionics. The frustum and nose cone serve as the
aerodynamic fairing for the booster.
Trains transport booster motors to Kennedy where they
are stacked and prepared for launch. The boosters are
the first SLS element stacked on the Mobile Launcher.
After stacking, each booster is mated to the SLS core
stage by braces on the forward and aft booster segments.
On the launch pad, the boosters carry the entire weight of
the fueled SLS launch vehicle. After launch, the boosters
operate for about two minutes before separating from the
core stage and landing in the Atlantic Ocean.
