NASA astronauts Kate Rubins and Victor Glover are currently performing a spacewalk outside of the International Space Station, working to upgrade the station’s solar arrays. The two astronauts began their spacewalk at 6:12 a.m. ET (3:12 a.m. PT) on Sunday, February 28, and they are expected to spend the rest of the morning carrying out upgrade work. The station will soon have new solar arrays installed — the four large pairs of solar panels which collect energy from the sun to power the station’s needs. The current solar arrays have been in constant use since the first pair were deployed in December 2000. Though the arrays are still functioning, they were only designed for a 15-year life originally, so their performance has degraded over time and it’s time they got replaced. The new arrays will be more efficient and should give a 20% to 30% boost to the station’s power, even though they are smaller than the current arrays. Before the new arrays can be installed, however, the ISS … [Read more...] about Two NASA astronauts are spacewalking outside the ISS right now

Tensions between the U.S. and China have proved lucrative for some Japanese companies. Nikkei Asia today reported that prices for used chip-making equipment, which aren’t subject to U.S. restrictions imposed in 2020, have risen 20% on average as a result of increased demand from Chinese semiconductor manufacturers. The U.S. imposed new sanctions on SMIC, the largest semiconductor manufacturer in China, in September 2020 to prevent it from purchasing new chip-making equipment.

Nikkei Asia said those sellers have struggled to keep their products in stock, which has led to significant price increases over the last year. The value of critical equipment such as lithography systems reportedly tripled in that timeframe. Nikkei Asia said … [Read more...] about Report: China’s Buying Used Chip-Making Equipment to Skirt US Restrictions
