Seguimos con las aplicaciones de la #tecnología #nuclear más allá de las centrales. ¿Sabías que en la actualidad hay hasta 5 vehículos espaciales que funcionan gracias a baterías nucleares? Te contamos qué son y cómo han ayudado a la exploración espacial 🚀
¡Dentro hilo!
Estas baterías se llaman generadores termoeléctricos de radioisótopos (en inglés, Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator o RTG) y desde los años 60 se usan para suministrar electricidad a las sondas y vehículos que exploran los confines del sistema solar 🪐 Fuente: Robert D. Abelson. Thermoelectrics Handbook: Macro t
¿Y cómo funcionan? 🤔 Un RTG se basa en el fenómeno físico de la desintegración radiactiva, por el cual un núcleo atómico inestable libera parte de su energía mediante la emisión de partículas (electrones, fotones, neutrones, etc.) a las que llamamos #radiación

1/7 Today is the 100th anniversary of the publication of #Ulysses by the Irish writer James Joyce. #Joyce, a committed philhellene, insisted that the cover should match the blue of the Greek flag (which hung in his Paris apartment). 🇬🇷#Ulysses100
2/7 As the printer found it almost impossible to find the blue ink to match with the Greek flag, only two copies of #Ulysses were ready by publication date – 2nd February 1922 - Joyce’s 40th birthday 🎂🎉
3/7 Of the two copies ready by publication date, #Joyce took one, unopened, to his 40th birthday celebrations. When Joyce opened the package and finally saw #Ulysses bound in Greek colours – white letters on a blue field – he was deeply moved.

Sıradan bir kitapseverin #JamesJoyce’un #Ulysses’i ile 24 senelik imtihanı (1996-2020)... Bu thread benim gibi #Ulysses’e başlayıp başlayıp sonunda bitireceklere adanmıştır. @enisbatur @MeltemGurle @armaganekici
1996’da lise son sınıfta iken @YKYHaber 'in başında @enisbatur vardı ve ilk #Ulysses çevirisini #NevzatErkmen yapmıştı. Kitabın dil oyunlar ile başa çıkabilecek en iyi aday deniyordu. Çünkü hem eşi #Joyce ’un ülkesi #İrlanda ’dandı hem de Zeka Oyunları Takımı’nın başındaydı.
Heyecanla ilk baskıyı satın aldım. Fakat herkes #Ulysses 'in rehber kitap olmadan okunamayacağı görüşündeydi. Nitekim benim de denemelerim başarısız oldu ve anahtar kitabı beklemeye başladım. O esnada üniversite bitti ve İngiltere’ye taşındım.

El espacio: la última frontera.
Éste es el hilo de los viajeros (y viajeras) que han traspasado esa frontera en una aventura dedicada a la exploración hasta alcanzar lugares donde nadie había podido llegar. #Cosmonauts #Astronauts
Va a ser un hilo muy largo...
Поехали!
Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968). Primer hombre en el espacio y en órbita. El Vostok 1 fue lanzado el 12 de Abril de 1961 y completó una órbita (108 minutos). El abrió el camino con el nombre clave "Кедр" (Cedro).
Alan Shepard (1923-1998). Primer norteamericano en el espacio con el Mercury-Redstone 3 en un vuelo suborbital el 5 de Mayo de 1961. Su cápsula Freedom 7 alcanzó los 190 km de altura y su vuelo duró 15 minutos.

#OTD 30 years ago: 6 October 1990, the joint ESA/NASA #Ulysses spacecraft was launched by the Shuttle #Discovery from @NASAKennedy. Ulysses was the first mission to study the environment above and below the poles of the Sun 👉 esa.int/Our_Activities… @esascience @NASAhistory
During its 17.5 years in space, ESA/NASA #Ulysses rewarded scientists with the unprecedented depth and breadth of its results, not just about the Sun and its influence, but also with surprising insights into the nature of our galaxy and the Universe 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
ESA/NASA #Ulysses was designed to last for five years but the mission was extended four times, allowing Ulysses to pass over the Sun's poles for a second and third time, and spending more than 17 years in space.
