A shot through the red fresnel lens on the Ledge Lighthouse's light.
I love optics - reflection, refraction, diffraction and polarization are all properties of light and light transmission that Augustin Fresnel studied and described mathematically. The fresnel lens he invented in 1822 has saved countless lives and is still used today. Previous lighthouse technology used mirrors to focus and "throw" light at most a few miles. With the fresnel lens a decent light can be seen up to 20 miles or more away and more importantly, it can be seen in heavy fog, where a mirror thrown light often can't.
The fresnel lens essentially works by becoming a giant magnifying glass. But to construct a magnifying glass large enough to fit a lighthouse lamp window would be prohibitively thick and expensive, requiring pretty tight manufacturin tolerances. Fresnel discovered that the important aspect of the magnifying lens is the curvature of the lens surfaces. The fresnel lens essentially duplicates the magnifying glass's curved front surface, but in small sectiona and it removes the "excess" material behind it. The resulting lens of concentric rings has the same focal length and magnification power of a traditional magnifying glass of the same size, but with a fraction of the wieght.
Fresnel lenses are not without problems, primarily the intersections between rings causes focus issues that makes them unusable for most imaging applications. The grooves at each ring junction also creates severe chromatic abberation, again making fresnel lenses unsuited to most imaging purposes. However, if you work in multispectral or hyperspectral imaging you can take advantage of these abberations and by tuning the grooves, predictably split out the spectra along an axis with sensors to pick them up. Tunable, high magnification hyper-spectral sensor array. From an 1822 design made by and named for one of optics early geniuses.
I LOVE SCIENCE!!

NASA Wallops Island, VA. This evening was the first of a 5 day widow for a nighttime launch of a Minotaur I Rocket. I had a front row seat about 1.5 miles from the launch pad, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and the mission was scrubbed for the evening. I was hoping to capture some images as the candle was lit for the 12 minute flight to orbit. This brought back some memories as I used to recover nosecones from launches at this facility many decades ago. On one recovery mission I found the second stage of the rocket, NASA officials were thrilled when I informed them that the intact stage with it's stabilizer fins was aboard the recovery ship.
Payload information for this mission:
TacSat-3 satellite features three revolutionary trials: the Raytheon Company-built Advanced Responsive Tactically Effective Military Imaging Spectrometer hyperspectral imager, the Office of Naval Research's Satellite Communications Package, and the Air Force Research Laboratory's Space Avionics Experiment. This trio of payloads will offer real-time imagery (within 10 minutes of collection), sea-based information transmitted from ocean buoys and plug-and-play avionics to assist the warfighter in keeping one step ahead of the adversary.
The PharmaSat experiment, developed by NASA’s Ames Research Center and will measure the influence of microgravity upon yeast resistance to an antifungal agent. PharmaSat focuses on questions key to countermeasure development for long-term space travel and habitation.
Three cubesats will be launched as secondary payloads on the TacSat-3 mission. The satellites, which contain their own power and data systems, are four-inch cubes that weigh 2.2 pounds each. The cubesats are being provided by California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo; The Aerospace Corporation, El Segundo, Calif. and the Hawk Institute for Space Sciences, Pocomoke City, Md. The three satellites are placed in a Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD), the standard deployment system for cubesats. The P-POD was developed by the Aerospace Engineering Department at Cal Poly. During the rocket’s ascent, each cubesat will be deployed separately from the P-POD into space.

A Civil Air Patrol C-172 performing Photo Reconnaissance Flights of Ground Zero. Photographer unknown
According to David North, “Civil Air Patrol aircraft were some of the first non-military aircraft to operate over Manhattan following the lifting of the ban installed immediately after Sept. 11, 2001. The organization performed 564 hr. of transportation, reconnaissance and airborne imagery missions in the New York area. This picture of the World Trade Center disaster site was captured by CAP volunteers during a video support mission.” Photo-Recon missions of Ground Zero provided detailed analysis of the wreckage and aided in recovery efforts.Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Civil Air Patrol is spending more time and money honing its skills for homeland security missions. This signals a return to the role that initiated the volunteer organization. One of its first uses was to search the Atlantic coast for German submarines at the outset of World War II in December 1941. In the past 62 years, the nonprofit organization has grown in the type of missions flown and in the number of aircraft and volunteers. By incorporating updated technology into newer aircrafts they now have the ability to focus attention towards homeland security. Congress recently appropriated $6 million for CAP to acquire hyperspectral-imaging equipment. Unfortunately this sensor technology will only work in the daytime and will not detect objects underwater, underground, or buried in snow.

ISS020-E-041981 (24 Sept. 2009) --- The exterior of the Japanese Kibo complex of the International Space Station and the station's Canadarm2 (bottom) are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 20 crew member on the station. European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne and NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, both Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the controls of the Japanese Experiment Module Robotic Manipulator System (JEM-RMS) in Kibo to grapple and transfer two Japanese payloads from the Exposed Pallet to their Exposed Facility locations -- first HICO/Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean & RAIDS/Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (HREP), then Superconducting Submillimeter-wave Limb-emission Sounder (SMILES).
Technology-demonstrating microsatellite Proba-1 was launched into orbit 23 years ago this week – and is still working.
Produced for ESA by Verhaert in Belgium, now (Redwire Space), Proba-1 was launched on 22 October 2001 on an Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle by the Indian Space Research Organisation, ISRO.
Among its many firsts, the Earth-observing Proba-1 was the first mission to use lithium-ion batteries in orbit, perform many guidance, navigation and control tasks autonomously – including multi-angle acquisitions of surface imaging targets – and make use of commercial off-the-shelf parts in place of purely space-qualified components.
Proba-1’s main CHRIS hyperspectral imager ceased operations at the end of 2022 after acquiring more than two decades of data, although it remains fully functional. Proba-3’s secondary High Resolution Camera is still working as well.
Originally intended to operate for just two years, the elderly mission is giving invaluable insights into the durability of onboard systems.
Proba-1’s mission will formally conclude with another first: it has become the assigned target for ESA’s ClearSpace-1 debris-removal spacecraft to be taken down from orbit in 2028.
Its name short for ‘Project for Onboard Autonomy’, as well as taken from the Latin for ‘Let’s try’, Proba-1 was the first in a family of technology demonstration satellites, followed by Sun-observing Proba-2, the terrestrial vegetation monitoring Proba-V and soon the double-satellite Proba-3, which will create artificial solar eclipses in orbit to observe the Sun’s corona, the source of space weather.

Caption reads: "The primary function of this ground version of the optical quality science window in the U.S. Laboratory Module, Destiny, is to provide a high-fidelity mockup to support Earth Science payloads that will perform multi and hyperspectral imaging from the low Earth orbit vantage point of the ISS. This trainer interfaces with the Window Observational Research Facility (WORF) Trainer and is also used to provide crew training in the use of these payloads. The window is 51 centimeters (20 inches) in diameter and has the best optical properties of any window ever flown on a manned spacecraft to date. With better than 90% transmission across both the visible and near infrared spectrums, it along with the WORF are what permit Earth science research to be carried out from the ISS. Within the guidelines set in place to protect its optical quality, the science window may also be used by the ISS crew for Earth observation photography."
That's a fancy window!
Science and outreach crew coordinating the science priorities for the 3 day trip. We are collecting what sargassum we find to do research. One scientist is collecting sargassum to evaluate trace metal concentrations in the air bladders, stems and blades, so we have to be careful collecting it so it doesn't get contaminated during collection. My labmate Brandon (in the light blue shirt foreground) and I are collecting any animals in the sargassum to collect hyperspectral images to evaluate camouflage abilities. Our work is mainly on 2 species of crabs that live on the sargassum, but we are also interested in several fish, especially the sargassum frog fish (Histrio histrio) a very cool fish indeed. Other members of the party are collecting fish and inverts for the Bermuda Aquarium for an upcomming outreach effort.
