Luz verde al mayor parque eólico en aguas de EE. UU.

El proyecto se construirá unos 22 kilómetros mar adentro y está
diseñado para generar 800 megavatios de energía.

Por Voz de América - Redacción
11 Mayo 2021

La Administración Biden anunció el martes la aprobación de un
plan para construir el primer proyecto eólico marino a gran
escala de Estados Unidos. El proyecto, frente a la costa del
estado nororiental de Massachusetts, está diseñado para generar
800 megavatios de energía.

Una declaración conjunta de los departamentos de Interior y
Comercio de EE. UU. anunció que el proyecto, conocido como
Vineyard Wind, se construirá a unos 22 kilómetros al sur de las
islas Martha's Vineyard y Nantucket.

El gobierno asegura que el proyecto creará 3.600 puestos de
trabajo y, cuando esté terminado, contará con hasta 84 turbinas
eólicas que proporcionarán energía suficiente para 400.000
hogares y negocios. La construcción está programada para comenzar
a finales de este año, y el parque eólico posiblemente entre en
funcionamiento en 2023.

En un comunicado, la secretaria de Comercio de Estados Unidos,
Gina Raimondo, dijo que el proyecto "demuestra que podemos
combatir la crisis climática, al mismo tiempo que creamos empleos
bien remunerados y fortalecemos nuestra competitividad en el país
y en el extranjero".

Los grupos ambientalistas y los defensores de la energía limpia
están aplaudiendo el anuncio, y el proyecto ayudará a la
administración a cumplir su objetivo de generar 30 gigavatios de
energía a partir de energía eólica marina para 2030.

Pero algunos grupos de pesca comercial en la costa este de EE.
UU. han argumentado que los parques eólicos marinos podrían
dificultar la recolección de mariscos, como vieiras y langostas.
Otros se han quejado de que los parques eólicos bloquean las
vistas al mar.

The Associated Press informa que un proyecto eólico anterior
propuesto para el área, Cape Wind, había sido descartado después
de que la oposición generalizada dijera que habría estado
demasiado cerca de la costa.

Scientists invent method for predicting solar radio flux for two
years ahead

by Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Moscow)
May 12, 2021

Since the launch of Sputnik, the Earth's first artificial
satellite, in 1957, more than 41,500 tons of manmade objects have
been placed in orbit around the sun, the Earth, and other
planetary bodies. Since that time, the majority of objects, such
as rocket bodies and large pieces of space debris, re-entered the
Earth's atmosphere in an uncontrolled way, posing a potential
hazard to people and infrastructure. Predicting the re-entry date
and time is a challenging task, as one needs to specify the
density of the upper Earth atmosphere that strongly depends on
solar activity which, in turn, is hard to predict. Earth
atmosphere can become very heated due to solar activity which
causes it to expand, and a satellite can decay in its orbit and
fall back to the Earth due to the effect known as atmospheric
drag. In addition, there is a lot of space debris, much of it
very small; if a spacecraft unexpectedly changes its orbit and
encounters even a small piece of debris, this would be equivalent
to hitting a bomb because of the high speed.

An international group of scientists led by Skoltech professor
Tatiana Podladchikova developed a new method and software called
RESONANCE ("Radio Emissions from the sun: ONline ANalytical
Computer-aided Estimator") which provides predictions of the
solar radio flux at F10.7 and F30 cm with a lead time of one to
24 months. The F10.7 and F30 indices represent the flux density
of solar radio emissions at a wavelength of 10.7 and 30 cm
averaged over an hour and serve as a solar proxy of the
ultraviolet solar emission that heats the Earth's upper
atmosphere. The method combines state-of-art physics-based models
and advanced data assimilation methods, where the resulting F10.7
and F30 forecasts are used as solar input in the re-entry
prediction tool for further estimation of an object re-entry
time.

"We systematically evaluated the performance of RESONANCE in
providing re-entry predictions on past ESA re-entry campaigns for
602 payloads and rocket bodies as well as 2,344 objects of space
debris that re-entered from 2006 to 2019 over the full 11-year
solar cycle. The test results demonstrated that the predictions
obtained by RESONANCE in general also lead to improvements in the
forecasts of re-entry epochs and can thus be recommended as a new
operational service for re-entry predictions and other space
weather applications," says lead author and Skoltech's MSc
graduate Elena Petrova who is currently pursuing her Ph.D.
studies at the Center for Mathematical Plasma Astrophysics,
Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven).

"The number of re-entered objects is closely related to the solar
activity level: the majority of objects return during the maximum
solar activity phase within the 11-year cycle. Interestingly, the
space debris re-entry time closely follows the evolution of the
cycle, reacting immediately to changes in solar activity. At the
same time, payloads and rocket bodies also show a large number of
re-entries during the declining phase of the cycle, which may be
related to the time delay between solar activity and re-entry for
large objects," says professor Astrid Veronig, a co-author of the
study and director of Kanzelhöhe Observatory at the University of
Graz.

"It is very important to monitor and predict solar activity for
orbit prediction needs. For example, Skylab which was intended to
perform a controlled re-entry in the 1970s dropped on Earth in an
uncontrolled way due to inaccurate calculations of the
atmospheric drag due to solar activity. Another example is the
most recent launch of the Chinese Long March 5B rocket on May 9,
2021: the remnants from its second stage that carried China's
first space station module made an uncontrolled re-entry and
landed in the Indian Ocean. Thus the development of robust and
reliable space weather operational services bringing together the
forefront of research with engineering applications is of prime
importance for the protection of space and ground-based
infrastructures and advancement of space exploration. And
whatever storms may rage, we wish everyone a good weather in
space," says Tatiana Podladchikova, assistant professor at the
Skoltech Space Center (SSC) and a research co-author.

Currently, the team is preparing RESONANCE for operational use as
part of a new space weather service for continuous prediction of
solar radio flux activity.
