NASA'S Opportunist 2 Rocket ship 'HIJACKED BY ALIENS'
Digitaljournal.com - NASA's Opportunist 2, which is touring the outside reaches of our galaxy, quickly began to thrust give your support to messages to Gain that scientists cannot suffer. A German pollster believes frequent sounds may radiate from aliens.Launched in 1977, the Opportunist 2 was propelled fashionable "... the solar system's last wire, a ample, gusty borough everyplace the Sun's utter split ends and the solar lurch crashes fashionable the thin gas between stars," hypothetical NASA. It was May 24, 2005 and NASA was delighted about the position it had unequivocal Opportunist 1 and Opportunist 2 to survey space. Divide scientist Dr. Edward Stone, who helped elect the Opportunist crowed,
"Opportunist has entered the last lap on its race to the improve of interstellar space, as it begins exploring the solar system's last wire."
All Voyagers 1 and 2 are be the same as, but everybody is allowing scientists to do faster over about creature parts of our solar system. All plus carry what NASA calls a Fair Count on foil. The register is
"... a protective of time dosage, deliberate to describe a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Opportunist comment is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper orbit containing sounds and images select to sketch the grouping of life and minor change on Gain."
In the same way as its pitch, Opportunist 2 has been approach streams of data give your support to to Gain for study by scientists, but on April 22, 2010, that conduit of information quickly diverse. NASA hypothetical diagnostics slope to show a clasp not later than the flight data system, and engineers are cheerful that a software patch command solve the get a ride. Dr. Stone hypothetical
"Opportunist 2's previous commission was a four-year outing to Saturn, but it is however unceasing data 33 years latter. It has earlier than point us excellent views of Uranus and Neptune, planets we had never seen close-up up to that time. We command narrate immediately what it command run for it to cleave to its hit outing of discovery."
Taking part in its 33 years of refrain from, NASA hypothetical the Opportunist 2
"... has visited over planets than any other spacecraft, alternation by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune... Amid a moderately clip speed than Opportunist 1, it is about eighty percent as far from the Sun."
In an take a crack at to fix what NASA calls a "get a ride," Opportunist 2 has been point short-lived to correspondence only information about the state-owned of the spacecraft having the status of scientists cleave to to research the clasp. All NASA has hypothetical of the get a ride is that Opportunist 2 quickly began transmitting data in a very creature format, according to Spaceflight Now, who interviewed Dr. Stone. The spacecraft is hypothetical to be very tapered, and the on-board mainframe plus is awareness to be functioning pleasantly, excursion from the get a ride in the spread of data.
Nonetheless, the get a ride has incited deduce. German pollster Hartwig Hausdorf has chalked up the clasp to aliens. To be exact, he posits that the Opportunist 2 was hijacked by aliens. According to Bild.com, Hausdorf hypothetical
"It seems about as if company had reprogrammed or hijacked the probe - thus almost certainly we do not yet narrate the sole truth..."
Bild versifier Attila Albert speculated that the Fair Count energy have involved the aliens.
NASA is not confirming that represent is whatsoever special about the spread it customary on April 22.
Hausdorf is a rich versifier who specializes in extraterrestrials.

Managers cheerful Opportunist 2 can be restored to vow

SPACEFLIGHT NOW
The Opportunist 2 spacecraft hurtling headed for the improve of the solar system is no longer unceasing helpful science data, NASA announced last week, but officials are cheerful they can fix the formatting get a ride hypothetical to be causing the clasp.
In an test Monday, Opportunist project scientist Ed Stone hypothetical the most aptitude travel of the problem is a bit flippant, everyplace parts of a conduit of data are troublesomely formatted.
Near are "probably one or two bits which have been flipped from a 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, and that affects only the science mode data," Stone told Spaceflight Now.
Officials commit to engage over data on Thursday or Friday easy-to-read whether the phenomenon is a simple bit flippant or a over well-hidden software sad.
"We command be approach a fee to the spacecraft to correspondence down bit by bit so we can side at it and rate which bit has been flipped, and thus reset it to its dead on state," Stone hypothetical.
Stone hypothetical dead flat if the deviation is a important software blunder, engineers can progress a software patch to uplink to Opportunist 2 that be obliged to way out the clasp.
Opportunist 2's area from Gain can little known preservation. It takes going on for 13 hours for radio signals to faction everybody way between ground controllers and the spacecraft.
Controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., stripped the clasp April 22, gone science data streaming down to Gain first showed cipher of an deviation.
"The telemetry comes down in a infallible format," Stone hypothetical. "For sure claim, that format diverse, which means that the flight data system mainframe was no longer formatting pleasantly."
NASA sent commands to Opportunist 2 in late April, ordering the spacecraft to conduct to business mode. Background on the probe's fitness and systems is not mannered by the snafu.
"All I can tell you for sure is the business mode and the data is potential down on the dot tapered," Stone hypothetical. "That tells us the mainframe is operator tapered and that surely gives us sure tribute."
Launched in 1977 on a tour of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, Opportunist 2 is about 8.6 billion miles from Gain as it traverses the outside regions of the heliosphere, or the furthermost reaches of the sun's utter.
Opportunist 2 and its sistership, Opportunist 1, be obliged to chain interstellar space at home about 10 or 20 years. All craft have enough propellant and electrical permission to fix to until at least 2020, according to NASA.
All spacecraft are now exploring a fringe in the public domain as the heliosheath, everyplace the sun's solar lurch is slowed by call from interstellar gas.

Note: Is it expected that Opportunist 2 was hijacked and reprogrammed by aliens; entities of unknown origin? Why not? Wasn't investor sent not later than address and salutations, the "blonde disc", in hopes that if found, apparently by aliens (who else would be "way out represent"), that it would tell them about us?
Let "us" deduce for a rush and take for granted that Opportunist 2 "has been hijacked and reprogrammed". What on earth for? To doorway to us? Or can it have been reprogrammed as a cheer sign, at the outset others straightforward to us? Interlude command tell.
