When the Mercury Transfer Module of the BepiColombo mission fires its electric propulsion thrusters an ion beam is extracted. This is created through the ionization of xenon propellant, generating the charged particles that can be accelerated further using an electric field.
Together with gravity assist flybys at Earth, Venus and Mercury, the thrust from the ion beam provides the means to travel to the innermost planet.
After escaping the pull of Earth’s gravity with the Ariane 5 launcher, the spacecraft is on an orbit around the Sun. The transfer module then has to use its thrusters to brake against the mighty pull of the Sun’s gravity. It also has to tune the shape of its orbit in order to make a series of nine gravity assist flybys at the planets before finally delivering the mission’s two science spacecraft into Mercury orbit.
This image is an excerpt from a supercomputer simulation that models the flow of plasma around the spacecraft just after the high energy ion beam is switched on. An outline of the composite spacecraft with its extended solar arrays is included for reference.
The simulation tracks the particles in the beam as well as those that diffuse around the spacecraft, which are created by the interaction of the high energy beam ions with the neutral xenon atoms that also flow out of the thruster. It shows the density of the plasma flowing around the spacecraft and its evolution: red represents high density, blue is low density (see animation for detailed scale).
Although the animation is several seconds long it has been slowed down, representing a mere eight milliseconds of real time – the time necessary for the plasma to reach a steady state.
The simulation was performed to demonstrate that the plasma produced by the thruster is not damaging to the spacecraft: its materials, including solar arrays or instruments, for example, or to the electric propulsion system itself. The simulations also confirmed there are no spurious or dangerous charging events.
Inflight measurements will verify the simulation results and help improve ways in which the generated plasma, spacecraft and space environment interactions can be better modelled.
BepiColombo is a joint endeavour between ESA and JAXA. After their seven-year interplanetary journey, the two science orbiters – the Mercury Planetary Orbiter and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter – will start their main mission to provide the most in-depth study of mysterious Mercury to date.
The spacecraft begin transferring to Europe’s spaceport in Kourou this week, where an intensive period of preparations will ready the mission for launch later this year.
The simulations were performed by Félicien Filleul as part of ESA’s Young Graduate Trainee programme.

Some shots from Star Citizen
Arena Commander v1.1 unlocked more ships to test drive for only a few days.
If you want to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible and with as much style as possible then ORIGIN's M50 is for you. Featuring supercharged engines that counter a tiny weapons loadout, the M50 is a ship for going FAST.
Star Citizen is an ambitious crowd funded open world space simulation project from Chris Roberts (Wing Commander, Freelancer).

This is another image where I'm trying to invoke a feeling of nostalgia for an unattainable, romantic past that did not really exist.
***HEY, can someone tell me why this pic is getting so many views these days? Thanks!
They were a bit too far apart for an actual pic with my telescope and exposures wouldn't have worked out anyway, so here is a simulation where you can see Jupiter and 3 of it's moons very close to our Moon. These 2 pics were taken a few minutes apart so it's very close to reality. Sorta...
Collision Series: "A single super-massive collision produces a discrete universe of four particle types. Particles draw their positions over time resulting in the construction of oddly familiar patterns." Always seems that truth reveals itself through patterns in nature.

The program ran smoothly for a while, then something unexpected occurred inside the Matrix. A ghost in the machine began accelerating the process of decay until entropy reached the point of no return…

These are reference images I'm using to test my new Velvia 100 RVP Film Simulation presets.
It's pretty well nailed down. With DMAX increases to Greens and Reds, and careful attention to how Velvia F used to make Reds orange and Yellows green, I made the adjustsments to reflect with known parameters of Velvia 100 RVP.
Like RVP, lighting conditions, exposures and subjects work differently with this simulation, but I used this reference set of 16 images to really stress test the preset.
In some cases, only two of the sliders need to be adjusted to suit the shooting conditions which are Exposure and White settings.
White balance needs to be adjusted manually. RVP tends to have a coolish tendency to it's images (which kind of makes sense because projector lights tended to be warmer.
White balancing with this preset requires you find your optimal results and then pull back towards cool just a little bit.

The Allure Simulation
Our simulation is intricately interwoven into numerous corporate metaverses. As our tangible world gradually fades into a vibrant digital realm, our avatars transform codes of understanding between the boundaries of reality and fantasy. This immersion into an all-encompassing space was envisioned as a new avenue for humankind to revolutionize and speed up productivity. It is where "presence" is the currency of the "You-Me-Us" techno-wonderland.
The bright and glimmering shimmer entices us away from practical considerations. The forging towards unsustainable progress and unrealised opportunities is smashing our collective identity into smaller and smaller bytes. You-Me-Us scattering throughout ever-expanding simulations. As physical beings, we observe these expansions as they continuously update and learn. We are captivated by their shining allure so that we can push aside what we once held dear.
