The city started work on a $36 million road makeover and drainage project this week, but major trenching is expected after the new year.

Renderings of the project that were presented to residents and business owners last week show up to seven lanes of traffic in some places, with medians dividing local traffic from the main road. The renderings do not include designated bike lanes, but show upgraded sidewalks on both sides of the road.
“What we heard during our sessions going out meeting with [businesses] is that just as they started feeling safe coming out of the pandemic … the orange cones showed up,” said Daniel Hicks, a management fellow for the City of San Antonio.

The Cost of Lunar Landing Pads with a Trade Study of Construction Methods | New SpaceLunar landing pads are highly desirable as propulsive landing upon bare regolith will produce extremely damaging high-speed ejecta. It is presumed that, under current leadership, NASA will most likely pursue lunar landing pad construction through a performance defined, technology-agnostic approach with multiple commercial vendors. This study estimates the cost of building lunar landing pads and examines whether any construction method is economically superior to others. Some proposed methods require large amounts of mass transported from the Earth, others require high energy consumption on the lunar surface, and others have a long construction time. Each of these factors contributes direct and indirect costs to lunar activities. To identify the most favorable construction method and to evaluate the overall price range, these disparate factors have been quantified in terms of cost and combined in a trade study. The most important economic variables turn out to be the transportation cost to the lunar surface and the magnitude of the program delay cost imposed by a construction method. The program delay cost is the incremental value of a lunar outpost that will be lost because of the delay imposed by the construction time, that is, a “lack of opportunity cost.” This study finds that the cost of a landing pad depends sensitively on the optimization of the mass and speed of the construction equipment, so a minimum-cost set of equipment exists for each construction method within a specified economic scenario. Several scenarios have been analyzed across a range of transportation costs with both high and low program delay cost assumptions. It is found that microwave sintering is currently the most favorable method to build the inner, high temperature zone of a lunar landing pad, although other methods are within the range of uncertainty. The most favorable method to build the outer, low temperature zone of the landing pad is also sintering when transportation costs are high

Construction Begins on the Square Kilometer ArrayAt twin ground-breaking ceremonies today in South Africa and Australia, project leaders formally marked the start of construction on what will be the largest radio telescope ever built. Dubbed the Square Kilometer Array Observatory (SKAO) – referring to the total area the antennas and dishes will cover when complete – the telescope is not a … Continue reading 'Construction Begins on the Square Kilometer Array'
