Join hosts Jamie and Matt as they delve deep into the cosmos, exploring the latest advancements and discoveries in space exploration.Episode 297, where we delve into the mesmerizing world of Lunar exploration and colonization! In this episode, we navigate through the Moon’s untapped potential, its allure for the human race, and the future prospects it holds for interplanetary living.

#297 - Living On The Moon

In this episode of the Interplanetary Podcast, we venture beyond the earthly realm with Andrew Cohen, one of the creative maestros behind the hit BBC series 'The Planets'. Our conversation orbits around the release of The Folio Society edition of the companion book to the series, delving into the awe-inspiring narratives and stunning visual storytelling that brings the celestial ballet to life. Cohen shares a glimpse into the collaborative odyssey of translating cosmic wonders to the screen, the intertwining dance of science and art, and the quest for unveiling the mysteries of our vast cosmic neighborhood.

The Folio Society edition of The Planets by Professor Brian Cox and Andrew Cohen, introduced by David A. Rothery, is exclusively available from foliosociety.com.

Philae’s SESAME-CASSE instrument ‘listened’ to the lander’s MUPUS instrument hammer the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko last November. 

Note: Access full description of this audio file via:
http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2015/11/12/the-sound-of-philae-conducting-science/

** SESAME-CASSE is the Cometary Acoustic Sounding Surface Experiment located in the lander’s feet in the form of three accelerometers, each of which records acceleration in three directions (one vertical and two horizontal)

** MUPUS comprises the Multi-Purpose Sensors for Surface and Subsurface Science – including the MUPUS penetrator that was activated towards the end of Philae’s first science sequence on 14 November 2014

It was recognized early in the preparation of both experiments that the hammering mechanism of MUPUS, which drives a thermal probe into the comet’s surface, would serve as an acoustic source for sounding the subsurface with CASSE. The determination of the propagation velocity of sound would allow scientists to look at possible layering in the comet’s surface/subsurface materials, important for understanding its evolution.

The CASSE instrument listened to the hammering of MUPUS for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Due to memory limitations, CASSE was not able to take continuous recordings, but only recorded a few seconds in one go. 

A total of 15 hammer strokes were recorded; this audio file contains two signals. The time between the two strokes fits to the charge time of the hammer mechanism expected at that time, thus this particular recording proves that CASSE was really recording hammer strokes.

When recorded, the Philae lander and the comet were about 510 million kilometres from Earth.

This week on our 11th Podcast we cover another exciting week in space. We cover the Soyuz/Progress MS-04 Disaster. Asteroid Mining including an Interview with John Amabile a West Point Graduate and Airspace and Missile Defense Officer in the US Army, who lays out a clear approach for moving mankind into space profitably and with minimal interference from the government in a single human lifetime. We take a look at ExoMars and the TGO.  Astronaut Eye Problems and will USA overtake Russia for the first time with number of rocket launches?

Yvonne Pendleton Talks About Building A Dream Team For Exploring The Solar System

This is a 10-minute live audio excerpt of ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough conducting a ‘spacewalk’ outside the International Space Station on 24 March 2017. They installed a new computer, disconnected a docking adapter to allow its move to a new location and maintained the Station’s Dextre multipurpose robotic hand - among other tasks.

Besides the voices of Thomas Pesquet and Shane Kimbrough, CAPCOM Jessica Meire and PAO Dan Huot can be heard.

Audio is unedited except for normalising. Occasional muting is thus normal.

Space is for everybody. It's not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That's our new frontier out there, and it's everybody's business to know about space.
