Um pequeno update após tanto tempo de inactividade

Posted 30 May 2006 5:54:50 UTC
Dear orbit@home users:

The project is very well alive, but in a state of apparent inactivity, at least on the BOINC side. While we didn't work directly on the BOINC application or the science database, in the last months we've been working on ORSA, adding several important features that will be used in the BOINC application. On the funding side, we're "fighting" in order to demonstrate to NASA how important it is to use numerical simulations to support Near-Earth Objects discovery, characterization, and threat mitigation, and we should hear something back about this pretty soon (1-2 weeks from now). We're thinking about extending o@h's science in several directions, such as providing a guide to astronomers to where to point their telescopes every night in order to maximize the probability to detect a new NEO, or how to automatically determine rotation period, spin pole and shape of a NEO, or how to test numerically different deflection methods in order to mitigate the threat posed by NEOs. If these ideas turn out to be scientifically valid, then we should ear great news soon. Otherwise... we'll keep scratching our heads in order to find a way to make o@h start crunching!

Nao sei pq eles estao tao preocupados em encontrarem-me, mas qd eles abrirem a criaçao de contas tb me vou tentar encontrar!!!!:lol:

EDIT: Temos um tuga nos Top 20!!!

Finalmente boas notícias para este projecto. Lá conseguiram arranjar fundos para o projecto arrancar!

February 26, 2007
We have finally some news. Good news. We're going to receive a very substantial donation sometime in the next four months, that will allow this project to reach the public beta phase, with support for clients for Linux/Mac OS X/Windows, new work units generated on a daily basis, and a graphical screen saver. Before then, we're going to update the orbit@home website, implementing a donation mechanism and exploring new ways to provide the funding for the project. Your ideas are welcome! One more thing: we're going to re-open for registration by new users. Welcome to the regenerated orbit@home!

Boas notícias, realmente :) Já criei uma conta, agora basta esperar para poder finalmente mastigar umas WU's.

Boas,

É só para dizer que já consegui criar conta e adicionar o projecto. Parece que os servers estão up!

Actualizaçao ao status do projecto, retirado da pag. inicial do projecto:

Orbit@Home Selected for Funding by NASA

We're pleased to announce that this project has been selected for funding by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Our proposal was submitted in response to the Applied Information Systems Research (AISR) element of the Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science 2006 solicitation. Approximately 160 proposals were submitted in response to this solicitation, representing a potential over-subscription of the nominal budget by more than a factor of six.

This funding will provide partial support for this project for the next three years, allowing us to acquire the required computer hardware and to get started with the software development, focusing on two Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) research areas:
1) develop a search strategy for NEAs surveys that maximizes the volume covered in the space of the orbital elements of the NEAs;
2) demonstrate the applicability and advantages of using distributed computing to monitor the impact hazard posed by NEAs to the Earth.

We plan to start releasing clients for all the major platforms, and the relative work units, by the end of 2007.

Finalmente vai começar a arrancar de vez!
 
boas

aderi a este projeto agora mesmo, parece-me bastante interessante e algo que pode realmente mudar o futuro da humanidade

so tenho uma pergunta

no boinc aquilo ta 50% para o roseta e 50% para o orbit, so que wu's do orbit ainda nao ha por isso parto do principio que enquanto isso nao acontecer o boinc dedica os 100% dos recursos para o rosetta certo ?

abraços

Ainda não se sabe, uma vez que ainda não há work units.

O projecto está ainda a dar os primeiros passos, portanto work units ainda vão demorar uns meses até aparecerem.

Bom, eu já me registei no projecto, agora só queria era mesmo o url do mesmo para juntar ao boinc ...
Eu vou esperando ... :P
Cumps.
