Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), a leading mobile phone provider and the No. 1 mobile phone provider in the U.S. 1, and Google™ today announced Nexus™ S is aboard NASA’s final space shuttle. As a leader in technology and innovation, Samsung is pleased to be a part of this moment which will most certainly be marked in history.

“Samsung is proud to have the Nexus S chosen to be aboard NASA’s final space shuttle launch, an event that is historical”
Nexus S from Google is part of research that will equip small, free-flying satellites called Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites (SPHERES) used by the astronauts to provide a broader range of capabilities and give better communication between land and sky. Nexus S is the first commercial smartphone certified by NASA to fly on the space shuttle and to be cleared for use on the International Space Station. The experiment will use the smartphone-enhanced SPHERES as remotely operated robots to conduct interior survey and inspections of the station, to capture mobile camera images and video, and to study how robots can support future human exploration.

The addition of Nexus S to the SPHERES will add to the capabilities of each individual satellite while further increasing NASA’s understanding and exploration of space. Lead engineer in the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA’s Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., DW Wheeler, explains, "By connecting a smartphone, we can immediately make SPHERES more intelligent. With a smartphone, the SPHERES will have a built-in camera to take pictures and video, sensors to help conduct inspections, a powerful computing unit to make calculations, and a Wi-Fi connection that we will use to transfer data in real-time to the space station and mission control."

“Samsung is proud to have the Nexus S chosen to be aboard NASA’s final space shuttle launch, an event that is historical,” said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Mobile. “The research that is being conducted with SPHERES using the Nexus S will help monitor and communicate from the International Space Station.”

August, 28th 2008. Here's what I thought to be a Korean film crew, complete with director sitting on a fold-out chair in sunglasses, right in front of the Gare do Oriente (Oriente Train Station) in Lisbon, Portugal, and coincidentally in front of the shopping mall Vasco da Gama, a huge place with thousands of people going in and out every day.

Apparently they were shooting a commercial for a SM3 car (Renault Samsung) there, the car had this small black crane with a sophisticate camera on the end, and they were moving the car about and shooting away. some people were watching this, others were just minding their own business and so was I, until I decided to snap a cameraphone pic with my Sony Ericsson K550i.

Before I took the picture, a black girl was using her video camera to record the very beautiful area of the Oriente station, and the girl from the film crew went up to her and despite my ignorance of what was said, the Police officer was also involved and I saw the girl being requested to show to the officer what she had been shooting (the buildings and the gardens around the station). I thought this to be extremely unfair and an abuse of authority, not really from the Police officer's part but from the whole crew making the commercial. Being allowed to do that should not mean that they have any right to prevent anyone in a turistic area to film video or shoot photos.

When I took a photo, I mmediately I got a shout from a woman in sunglasses talking to me in Portuguese, and a Police officer was standing around next to her.
She immediately complained that I could not take pictures, to which I motioned with my arms to mean I was in the public sidewalk, in a VERY public place. Then the Police officer turned around and told me I was not allowed to take photos of this, despite the hundreds of people passing by.

On the second photo you can see the woman looking at me, shortly before the policeman shouted out that I could not take any pictures. I replied, that I was in a public sidewalk and that I had every right to take any photos, to which the woman actually conceded that she knew that, "but still..." Hillarious.

I shot their photo and then relocated to shoot the third photo. I had heard mention of this sort of abusive suspension of the right to take photos in a public place, but it was the first time I actually experienced a situation like this myself, in Portugal. Here are the photos.

This O-ring is made of black Buna-nitrile, is round in cross-section, has a durometer of 70A, and is designed for use in a wide variety of sealing applications.
Buna-nitrile can have high tensile strength, and abrasion, tear, and compression set resistance. It can be used in temperatures between -30 degrees F (-34 degrees C) to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C), and is compatible for use with petroleum, HFA, HFB and HFC fluids, vegetable oil, alcohol, acids and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Buna-nitrile is vulnerable to acetone, ethers, esters, ozone, sunlight and weathering and should therefore not be used in ozone-generating electric motors, welding equipment, or in applications with exposure to UV light.
This Buna O-ring has a shore durometer of 70A. Shore durometer is the hardness of a material, and its resistance to permanent indentation. A higher durometer value indicates greater resistance to indentation on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 indicating no indentation.
O-rings commonly provide a pressure and fluid seal between cylindrically shaped, overlapping mating surfaces and are commonly seen in engines, faucets, flanges, valves, and various cylinders. They are circular in shape, with a round cross section, and a hole in the center, similar to a doughnut. O-rings are available in various sizes, and can be ordered based on required nominal inside diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), and cross-sectional (CS) diameter.
These Buna-nitrile O-rings meet standards defined by Aerospace Standard AS568A, which is the Aerospace Size Standard for O-rings.
