The “July” Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, so to speak, is nice. Too bad the org will not go quasi-paper (a 1:1 online version of a paper one), nor fully digital (no month affectation at all). Articles instead… Read More »Note, “Monthly Notices” Papers (July)

Coming: the 45th Committee on Space Research assembly (www.cospar-assembly.org/assembly.php), in Busan, Korea. I don’t follow this one much because “space research” is so general, it covers pretty much anything one feels like submitting. Not a favorable signal-to-noise, not an efficient use… Read More »2024 COSPAR meeting, Busan

I don’t post much about Aerospace, a relatively new journal. It’s clear that space is second, aero (i. e., Bernoulli’s Law, not Tsiolkovskiy’s) is first. Still, there’s some space content: Aerospace vol. 11 #6, JunFarina, D. Machrafi, H. Queeckers, P.… Read More »Note, Paper: Space, …aero
