Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.
This is our new dog Kira, a cross between a water dog and a Podenko. She has been with us since February 7, 2024 and is busy winning our hearts. She is a sweet, affectionate dog who quickly adapted to us within a week. She is very quick and curious, a very different dog than Noleke.

THAT IS AN AVERAGE OF 400GUESTS PER DAY.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY BLOG AND HOPE YOU ENJOY EACH TIME.
The purpose of this blog is the creation of an open, international, independent and free forum, where every UFO-researcher can publish the results of his/her research. The languagues, used for this blog, are Dutch, English and French.You can find the articles of a collegue by selecting his category. Each author stays resposable for the continue of his articles. As blogmaster I have the right to refuse an addition or an article, when it attacks other collegues or UFO-groupes.

Deze blog is opgedragen aan mijn overleden echtgenote Lucienne.
In 2012 verloor ze haar moedige strijd tegen kanker!
In 2011 startte ik deze blog, omdat ik niet mocht stoppen met mijn UFO-onderzoek.
BEDANKT!!!

MUFON's mission is the analytical and scientific investigation of the UFO- Phenomenon for the benefit of humanity...
Je kan ook hun site bekijken onder www.mufon.com.
Ze geven een maandelijks tijdschrift uit, namelijk The MUFON UFO-Journal.
Since 02/01/2020 is Pieter ex-president (=voorzitter) of BUFON, but also ex-National Director MUFON / Flanders and the Netherlands. We work together with the French MUFON Reseau MUFON/EUROP.
ER IS EEN NIEUWE GROEPERING DIE ZICH BUFON NOEMT, MAAR DIE HEBBEN NIETS MET ONZE GROEP TE MAKEN. DEZE COLLEGA'S GEBRUIKEN DE NAAM BUFON VOOR HUN SITE... Ik wens hen veel succes met de verdere uitbouw van hun groep. Zij kunnen de naam BUFON wel geregistreerd hebben, maar het rijke verleden van BUFON kunnen ze niet wegnemen...

Red Planet Express: 10 Ways Robots Move on Mars
Red Planet Express: 10 Ways Robots Move on Mars

INTRO: How to Move on Mars
Roving is currently the most common way that robots on Mars get from A to B, but it isn't necessarily the most practical. Here are 10 ways that robots can move around on Mars

1. Mars Helicopter
This proposed robotic helicopter could triple the distances that Mars rovers could drive in a day and help pinpoint interesting targets for study, NASA researchers said. The low-flying scout helicopter would travel ahead of a rover to scope out the best driving routes. Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have been testing the design, but the agency has no concrete plans to take the helicopter to Mars — yet. Read more about the Mars Helicopter here.

2. Extreme Access
Engineers at NASA's Kennedy Space Center have invented an autonomous quadcopter, or drone, to fly on Mars. The machines are fast and flexible and can squeeze into places that other Mars robots cannot. They will be able to collect soil samples and return them to a mothership, which doubles as a charging station. Read more about the Mars drones here.

3. Entomopter
Insects inspired the design for this aircraft, called an Entomopter. Conventional types of helicopters and airplanes would have a hard time maneuvering through Mars' thin atmosphere, but the rapidly flapping wings on this aircraft design make flying on the Red Planet more practical. Other aircraft have to fly at over 250 mph (or 400 km/h) to remain airborne, which means that landing or taking off from the Martian surface are out of the question. But the Entomopter can fly slowly, land, take off and even crawl! It would be able to collect samples and return to a home base (like the rover pictured in the foreground) to recharge. A team led by Anthony Colozza at the Ohio Aerospace Institute in Cleveland received funding from NASA's Institute for Advanced Concepts in 2002 to develop this design for a Mars aircraft. Watch the Entomopter in action in this video.

4. LDSD, the 'Flying Saucer'
NASA's Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator project combines a balloon with a rocket to deliver huge payloads to the Martian surface — up to 15 tons. Mars Science Lab, the Curiosity rover, weighs only 1 ton and is currently the biggest spacecraft to land on Mars. LDSD could one day even deliver something as heavy as 100 tons or more, NASA officials said. The flying-saucer-shaped balloon will help slow down the landing in Mars' thin atmosphere. Read more about LDSD here.

5. Prandtl Glider
Student interns at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, helped to design this prototype of an engineless Mars glider called Prandtl-m. The design for this glider was inspired by boomerangs and birds and is based on a concept developed by German engineer Ludwig Prandtl around a century ago. This glider has no rudder and a slight twist in its wings, which helps to minimize air resistance and maximize efficiency. At Mars, it would be deployed high up in the atmosphere and collect data while floating down to the surface. NASA said it hopes to see one of its Prandtl gliders hitch a ride to Mars with the upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission. Read more about the Prandtl project here.

6. Mini-Sniffer
This proposed foldable Mars airplane concept is based on the design of a craft that flew on Earth in the 1970s. Three different versions of the Mini-Sniffer were developed by NASA to fly over Earth and test the upper atmosphere for pollution. Dale Reed, a researcher at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, earned a patent in 1977 for the proposed Mars airplane. But NASA's plans for the Mars Mini-Sniffer never got off the ground.

7. ARES Mars Airplane
Rocket-powered airplanes could be the solution to the flying problems posed by Mars' thin atmosphere. This aircraft, called the Aerial Regional-scale Environmental Surveyor (ARES), could fly over mountains, craters and volcanoes on Mars — places that terrestrial robots often cannot reach. It was developed at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia. A prototype has already been built and tested, and now the ARES team said it hopes to send its aircraft to Mars via NASA's Mars Scout Program. Read more about ARES here.

8. Tumbleweed Rovers
One proposed way to travel on Mars is essentially a giant beach ball that rolls around in the wind. It wouldn't need any engines — just the wind. Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said that a payload of scientific instuments would be suspended inside the ball with tension cords. If scientists decide that one of these rovers needs to stop to take a measurement, the ball can be partially deflated to keep it from blowing away. NASA has already performed field tests with tumbleweed rover prototypes on Earth, but they have yet to be tested on Mars.

9. Roving with Wheels
So far the most popular type of robotic Mars explorer has been the rover. These types of Mars robots are somewhat comparable to vehicles that rove around on Earth, at roughly the size of a compact sedan. Several rovers have been sent to Mars, but only two are still functioning today: NASA's Curiosity (Mars Science Laboratory) and Opportunity. Another NASA rover, named Spirit — Opportunity's twin — went silent in 2010 after one of its wheels became trapped in the Martian sand.
Though the remote-controlled rovers may be the most intuitive form of robot for humans to build and operate, they do have some drawbacks. Aside from the risk of getting stuck like Spirit did, rovers can't drive very fast on Mars. Curiosity creeps along at about 2 inches (5 centimeters) per second, or 0.11 mph (0.18 km/h). Some areas of Mars are inaccessible to rovers, like steep mountains ridges or craters. [Infographic: Mars Explored: Landers and Rovers Since 1971]

10. Hopping Bots
Someday, Mars robots could get around on the Red Planet by hopping from place to place. These vehicles would use gas from the Martian atmosphere to propel their rockets and leap around. Researchers in England have proposed a hopping robot that uses radioactive isotopes as an initial power supply to squeeze gas into thrusters and heat it up before the propulsion system can begin powering the hopping. A hopper like this could fly in 0.6-mile (1 kilometer) hops at least, the researchers said. Read more about the hopping robots here.
