"This mission once again set a record of the resilience of the orbit and marks the first landing of this vehicle in the State of Florida," said Lieutenant Colonel Ron Fehlen, program manager of the X-37B.

"We are very pleased with the performance of the space vehicle and is very enthusiastic about the data collected to support the scientific community and space," he said again, as quoted Russia Today, Monday (8/5/2017).

The purpose of the program X-73B is twofold. First, wanted to test the spacecraft's technology that can be used again for future America in space. Second, to conduct experiments which can be returned and checked in the Earth.

"The technologies tested in the program guidance, navigation and control, thermal protection systems, avionics, structures and high-temperature seals, insulating a convertible version that can be customised, the system of electromechanical flight a lightweight, advanced propulsion systems, materials and autonomous orbital flight, entry and landing," said Fehlen.

The x-37B, 29 feet in length and has a wingspan of more than 14 meters, was launched vertically and horizontally back to Earth for landing on the runway.

Cara cepat mencari kata di sebuah artikel blog. Kemajuan dunia IT sudah tak terbendung lagi. Di manapun orang berada dengan mudah mengakses informasi di internet dengan perangkat yang praktis seperti android. Lihatlah di sekeliling ketika anda di terminal, stasiun, tempat tongkrongan, dan bahkan sambil berkendara mereka tidak ingin ketinggalan berita. Mengapa demikian? Itulah perkembangan teknologi saat ini. Namun, dibalik pesatnya teknologi informatika masih banyak hal-hal yang tidak dikuasai pengguna internet. Salah satunya adalah hal sepele, misalnya mencari salah satu kata atau kalimat pada saat mendarat pada sebuah artikel yang kita tuju.

SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION

SPECIAL EFFECTS ANIMATION. Made with computer effects that go on in the editing process known as CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) Effects or Visual Effects - Special Effects instead. But in the CGI there are other terms that might be a little confusing, that is, Special Effects Animation. Special Effects Animation is a branch of the animation (which is a function of the CGI scope.) This field is specialized to make all the moving objects, except the characters. For characters, this field is called Character Animation. Special Effects Animation can make objects ranging from cars, buildings, rain, wind, fire, lasers, water and other natural phenomena. So, when you use 3D software to create certain effects, say you're making Special Effects Animation. But after these effects are integrated in the film in post production, the result is you're making Visual Effects.

Coba lihat di sekitar anda, siap yang tidak memiliki handphone. Saya yakin hampir setiap rumah memilikinya. Bahkan tak sedikit saya lihat anak-anak sudah pandai mengoperasikan ponsel pintar android. Lalu apa hubungannya dengan dunia pendidikan? Suatu saat teman pernah bercerita bahwa anaknya sekarang males megang buku. Setiap ada tugas dari sekolah dia selalu membuka tablet untuk menyelesaikan PRnya. Dari contoh tersebut lalu saya berfikir, "seandainya setiap pendidik memiliki sebuah blog untuk pembelajaran bagi siswanya". Bukankah seorang pendidik lebih cepat memberikan materi bagi muridnya? Sang gurupun tak harus terlalu banyak bicara untuk menyampaikan pelajaran, siswa disuruh membaca dan pertanyaan pun bisa mengalir. Bukankah ini juga interaktif? Itu hanyalah sekilas dalam fikiran saya lhoh he he. Namun, bukan tak mungkin masih banyak ...
