#constant orbit

[spotlightstudios]

Hi guys, I'm normal about him.

(Decided to draw him in Constant Orbit style and Outside Upgrades style.)

#light's spot #my art #sketch #wip #Fnaf Eclipse #Ruin Dlc #guys... #I'm gonna make a post tomorrow peobably but like #I called it #Soft Boy Eclipse #losing my mind #I love him? them? Eclipse. #also #Neon has a version of Eclipse for CO already #this is just a fun concept in the style I use for CO hehe #and Outside Upgrades has an eclipse too #but I'm ngl he's close enough that I'm not altering him lol. #Constant Orbit #Outside Upgrades #ruin spoilers #ruin dlc spoilers #<- adding just in case

Four Types of Husband! (Feat. Iris!)

A.k.a, I really wanted to do something for this audio, and it just so happens that Iris (Neon) had a couple of mans that fit the bill! (Aka, I wanted to both bully Neon, and make her a gift, all in one!)

Anyways, these are just a few of the guys that are/will be involved in Constant Orbit! (Shameless advertisement, go read it!)

I uhh... found where Moon hangs out during the day! He's a lot... smaller than I expected, honestly. That's alright tho, super sweet guy!!

really like how absolutely no one apologized to maxwell for all the clowning and grief everyone gave him over using 'moon' in quotation marks. calling him superstitious or just a weird little freak. its been almost four years and i haven't heard one 'you know what maxwell, maybe you were onto something when you knew half of everything there was to know about the constant'

#its so fucking funny. babygirl just be more specific #the fact that the 'moon' is alive and is evil would have been a REALLY great thing to know sweetheart #*I* believed him. i listened to maxwell i trusted him. #granted i thought he wouldn't call it a proper moon for like. some science related reason #like. if the constant wasn't a planet then technically it couldn't have a moon. since moons have to orbit planets #whatever

[thethingything]

got to see a weird unidentified light in the sky. yay!

#personal #thoughts #Lucy post #initially we thought it was an iridium flare but there aren't any showing up on the satellite tracking site we use #so it was probably some space junk on a weird orbit since it didnt really appear to move. it just got bright then faded out again #as a side note I fucking hate seeing all the starlink satellites when we go to check what's visible #it's just a constant endless stream of them going overhead. there are so fucking many #I think they shouldn't have been allowed to launch them but here we are

His dormizone's full of various floofs armed with kitchen knives because he thought it would be funny.

He's...not sure if he wants to know what Hombask was thinking when he asked if he could get about thirty or so knives from her.

I love Welcome to Night Vale so much 😭❤❤❤❤

Breaks my heart that I see very little posting about it on this webbed site the last few years, I think I need to hunt down and follow the people who are still fans of it now cus all of the fandom I was part of in like 2015 is fucking gone

#draco speaks #I have been listening faithfully since 2015 maybe late 2014 #I've never been more than a couple days late to any new episode in all that time #WTNV is a background constant in my life and it's important to me #not to mention all the other night vale presents fiction podcasts that have become a thing over the years #within the wires and orbiting human circus and dreamboy are very important to me as well

[ofhiddenthings]

God just once i need somebody to fuck me like they actually want me

#guh except i dont even really want that #the constant push and pull is so impossible #i dont know how to communicate the proper orbital distance

[local-dragonfly]

i’ve started waging war against ads as someone who hates them and can’t get an adblocker. if im watching a youtube video with an ad i shield my eyes so i don’t see the product name while i reload the video until an ad doesn’t play. i mute and walk away if i can’t reload. i see an ad and mentally make a list of products i will not buy out of spite. the only ads i watch all the way thru are local conservative politicians’ so that they waste as much money as possible on me.

Mermay Sketch Concepts!

Neon mentioned smth about maybe figuring out a mermay chapter for Constant Orbit, and tasked me w/ redesigning my boys Exo and Nova while she figured out Sun and Moon! (Then I kept going with all my side-cast kids, while she designed Light and Iris!)

Nova and Exo are Goldfish (the invasive species sort), Stanley is a Clownfish, Stagehand is a Cuttlefish, and Static is an Anglerfish!

Also, horrifying (affectionately) rendition of if I'd drawn Stanley w/ fish eyes instead of his normal ones made by Neon my beloved.

That sound lady has a viscious sense of humor. I heard she blasted Caremelldansen in the atrium last week though, so she can't be too bad. (Sun said he could hear it from the Daycare, lmao.)

I love this song. The chorus, man, the chorus 😭💕

#red's week in music #red qu(eu)te #preemptively: not self deprecating or depressive or whatever mood youd think of the following words just objective #you ever hit with the perspective of “huh. nobody... cares. theyre too busy in their own bubble to see mine brush against theirs” #its a push into a bigger perspective thats sometimes freeing and sometimes cold but always enlightening #also the creeping realization that you have to prove yourself over and over to some people is incredibly weighty #like a game i dont know the rules to or a test i can never pass #im the every constant comet that swings around your orbit and sometimes brings light and i hope you dont forget about me when my path is far #...again not sad or bemoaning just poetic observations #philosophical musings of a tired soul #Spotify

what if our fate is tied to the stars and destined to collide but the universe is determined to save us from the fate she cannot change. what if she knows it is futile and thinks that the nature of humanity is that we are stubborn and immune to change but still loves us anyway. what if we were something she would never understand and she does not know how to try to understand except for the simple imitation of human behaviour and

#what if the universe does not understnad why they are not what they once were anymore #what if the universe says you are an orbit. you were supposed to stay constant #what if the universe loves you anyway #i will not be satisfied with a mere translation. too easy to bland #i have to rewrite the entire thing. for personal reasons

What We Learned from Flying a Helicopter on Mars

The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter made history – not only as the first aircraft to perform powered, controlled flight on another world – but also for exceeding expectations, pushing the limits, and setting the stage for future NASA aerial exploration of other worlds.

Built as a technology demonstration designed to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, Ingenuity performed flight operations from the Martian surface for almost three years. The helicopter ended its mission on Jan. 25, 2024, after sustaining damage to its rotor blades during its 72nd flight.

So, what did we learn from this small but mighty helicopter?

We can fly rotorcraft in the thin atmosphere of other planets.

Ingenuity proved that powered, controlled flight is possible on other worlds when it took to the Martian skies for the first time on April 19, 2021.

Flying on planets like Mars is no easy feat: The Red Planet has a significantly lower gravity – one-third that of Earth’s – and an extremely thin atmosphere, with only 1% the pressure at the surface compared to our planet. This means there are relatively few air molecules with which Ingenuity’s two 4-foot-wide (1.2-meter-wide) rotor blades can interact to achieve flight.

Ingenuity performed several flights dedicated to understanding key aerodynamic effects and how they interact with the structure and control system of the helicopter, providing us with a treasure-trove of data on how aircraft fly in the Martian atmosphere.

Now, we can use this knowledge to directly improve performance and reduce risk on future planetary aerial vehicles.

Creative solutions and “ingenuity” kept the helicopter flying longer than expected.

Over an extended mission that lasted for almost 1,000 Martian days (more than 33 times longer than originally planned), Ingenuity was upgraded with the ability to autonomously choose landing sites in treacherous terrain, dealt with a dead sensor, dusted itself off after dust storms, operated from 48 different airfields, performed three emergency landings, and survived a frigid Martian winter.

Fun fact: To keep costs low, the helicopter contained many off-the-shelf-commercial parts from the smartphone industry - parts that had never been tested in deep space. Those parts also surpassed expectations, proving durable throughout Ingenuity’s extended mission, and can inform future budget-conscious hardware solutions.

There is value in adding an aerial dimension to interplanetary surface missions.

Ingenuity traveled to Mars on the belly of the Perseverance rover, which served as the communications relay for Ingenuity and, therefore, was its constant companion. The helicopter also proved itself a helpful scout to the rover.

After its initial five flights in 2021, Ingenuity transitioned to an “operations demonstration,” serving as Perseverance’s eyes in the sky as it scouted science targets, potential rover routes, and inaccessible features, while also capturing stereo images for digital elevation maps.

Airborne assets like Ingenuity unlock a new dimension of exploration on Mars that we did not yet have – providing more pixels per meter of resolution for imaging than an orbiter and exploring locations a rover cannot reach.

Tech demos can pay off big time.

Ingenuity was flown as a technology demonstration payload on the Mars 2020 mission, and was a high risk, high reward, low-cost endeavor that paid off big. The data collected by the helicopter will be analyzed for years to come and will benefit future Mars and other planetary missions.

Just as the Sojourner rover led to the MER-class (Spirit and Opportunity) rovers, and the MSL-class (Curiosity and Perseverance) rovers, the team believes Ingenuity’s success will lead to future fleets of aircraft at Mars.

In general, NASA’s Technology Demonstration Missions test and advance new technologies, and then transition those capabilities to NASA missions, industry, and other government agencies. Chosen technologies are thoroughly ground- and flight-tested in relevant operating environments — reducing risks to future flight missions, gaining operational heritage and continuing NASA’s long history as a technological leader.

You can fall in love with robots on another planet.

Following in the tracks of beloved Martian rovers, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter built up a worldwide fanbase. The Ingenuity team and public awaited every single flight with anticipation, awe, humor, and hope.
