Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA Satellites Help us to Quickly Detect Forest FiresRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Taher M. Abu-Lebdeh et al.The main idea is that, as the forests of the planet are getting smaller, too much wood is cut and the forests are made too slow, there are also large forest fires due to excessive heat, of people arguing with the law, or simply by chance. Extinguishing fires are generally difficult, interventions being difficult anyway due to the increased fire, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 8,085 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exoplanet has Smothering Stratosphere without WaterRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn some earlier works, the authors of the present study have shown that a modern ship should resemble a UFO, an accelerated particle jet propulsion with a particle accelerator on board the ship, accelerating to the very best big. The problem as an idea is clear and simple, but the current technologies we have in the field of fixed particle … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNasa Selects Concepts for a New Mission to Titan, the Moon of SaturnRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuNasa just has selected two new concepts for some new robotic missions, one of which aims to explore potential landing sites on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. This first concept is named Dragonfly, which is a drone-like rotorcraft that would use the environment on Titan to fly to a number of locations to sample materials and determine surface composition to examine … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 19 Jan 2018 · 12,003 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNASA has Found the Most Distant Black HoleRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuScientists have uncovered a rare relic from the early universe: the farthest known supermassive black hole. This matter-eating beast is 800 million times the mass of our Sun, which is astonishingly large for its young age. Researchers report the find in the journal Nature.
