Bonjour à toutes et tous,
Voeux
On souhaite traditionnellement lors des vœux pour la nouvelle année, le
bonheur, la prospérité, la santé… Évidemment, je le souhaite, et plus que
jamais.
Mais j’y ajoute un brin de folie et de bonne humeur, d’inventivité et
d’énergie, de force et de courage, afin de mener à bien tous vos projets.
Qu’ils se réalisent et que cette année soit couronnée de succès individuels
et collectifs.
La radio ? bien sûr ! riche, intense, passionnée …
Un BON, un très bon 5e ANNIVERSAIRE à Radioamateurs France.
Qu’écrivions nous dans la première lettre en janvier 2012 ?
« Radioamateurs … vaste sujet, pour bien comprendre, il faut remonter au
début du Radio Amateurisme.
A la suite de ‘’l’épisode’’ de la F0, bien mal défendue par certains, et
de beaucoup d’autres sujets, c’est la goutte d’eau qui fait déborder le
vase …
Un constat récurent: nous sommes bien mal entendus, défendus et représentés.
Un certain nombre de personnes vont oser critiquer ouvertement
l’association ‘’historique’’.
Viendra la création de l’association ‘’Radioamateurs France’’ maintenant
connue et reconnue en France mais aussi dans la francophonie et plus …
La modestie de notre adhésion-cotisation est un atout majeur qui n’est pas
contraignante et est en adéquation avec notre philosophie d’ouverture à
tous.
Nous offrons une palette complète (revue, site, news, cours, …) accessible
à tous.
Notre devise reste d’actualité, information, défense, promotion,
formation reste d’actualité.

MEILLEURS VOEUX 2017
Alerte-Radiosondes et le BHAF "Ballons Haute Altitude France" vous souhaitent une bonne année 2017.
En espérant, que cette nouvelle année sera celle de l'apparition de nombreux projets ballons en France.
Bonne année à tous, les amateurs de ballons, radiosondes, radio, micro-informatique ou simplement à ceux qui s'intéressent aux sciences et aux expérimentations,

Electrifying spacecraft propulsion [

"Neil Wallace, electric propulsion engineer"
Electric propulsion has been around for a long time –1920s rocket pioneer Robert Goddard wrote about it. Perhaps it was an idea ahead of its time, because when I got into the space industry the thinking was that chemical thrusters were good enough, certainly for telecom missions. The platforms were small, working lifetimes were limited, power availability was constrained – and electronics didn’t last that long then either. All that started to change around the turn of the century, with a creeping up of mass, lifetime and power that made the various electric propulsion technologies more attractive.
