CNN —A European Space Agency satellite is expected to reenter and largely burn up in Earth’s atmosphere on Wednesday morning. The agency’s Space Debris Office, along with an international surveillance network, is monitoring and tracking the Earth-observing ERS-2 satellite, which is predicted to make its reentry at 6:14 a.m. The exact time of the satellite’s reentry remains unclear due to the unpredictability of solar activity, which can change the density of Earth’s atmosphere and how the atmosphere tugs on the satellite. The ERS-2 satellite has an estimated mass of 5,057 pounds (2,294 kilograms) after depleting its fuel, making it similar in size to other space debris that reenters Earth’s atmosphere every week or so, according to the agency. ERS-2’s backstoryThe Earth-observing ERS-2 satellite first launched on April 21, 1995, and it was the most sophisticated satellite of its kind at the time to be developed and launched by Europe.

ESA said the maneuver reduced the risk of dangerous space debris impact and space junk collision. ESA took Aeolus's end as an opportunity to try a first-of-a-kind reentry maneuver called an "assisted reentry," ESA said in a statement Tuesday. Map showing Aeolus satellite's location as it inched closer to Earth where it ultimately burned up over Antarctica. This means there's more risk of satellites crashing into one another, and that space debris flying to inhabited places on Earth. Aeolus's assisted reentry was part of that mission to make satellite reentry safer.

В Китае представили 3D-принтер, охлаждающий объект при печати. Одна из главных проблем 3D-принтеров — выделяемое при печати тепло. В 3D-принтере LOTMAXX SC-10 SHARK эту проблему удалось решить с помощью специальной системы тепловыделения Aeolus (AHDS), в которой используются четыре вентилятора. А благодаря системе S Move (SMS), LOTMAXX SC-10 SHARK имеет три режима скорости: нормальный, средний и быстрый, в соответствии с вашими предпочтениями и потребностями. А еще SC-10 SHARK умеет печатать двумя цветами из одно сопла, это также отличает его от обычных 3D-принтеров.
