In the middle of Tuscany sits a palace like no other. Castello di Sammezzano, a resplendent Moorish Revival castle with an intricate, wildly colored interior, was erected in the early 17th century by a Spanish nobleman. More than 200 years later, the 365-room palace was remodeled. After World War II, Sammezzano became a luxury hotel, but was closed in the 1990s. Now, a preservation committee is working to restore and preserve the castle. Peak inside. You won't be disappointed.

Research into Africa’s first ‘screen-and-treat’ program for hepatitis B suggests the initiative may reduce deadly complications of the virus. The hepatitis B virus infects around 250 million people worldwide, and is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. It is commonly transferred from mother to baby during birth. However the virus causes no immediate symptoms, and can remain silent in the body for decades until triggering severe complications such as liver damage (cirrhosis) and cancer.

Airbus has invented a new device that could one day carry high-altitude planes more than 65,000 feet into the air, according to a patent spotted by YouTube channel PatentYogi . This 'support vehicle' would detach from the second craft once it reaches the stratosphere, allowing the high-flying plane to soar for months or even years miles above Earth's surface. Once deployed, a stratosphere plane can be used like a satellite to make observations of Earth over long periods of time, or even to beam Internet down to the ground. The system, pictured above, could be used with high-altitude systems, like the Perlan 2 glider, shown on the bottom left.

Drugs that stop the overproduction of proteins by cancer cells may shut them down, but it also shuts down production of essential proteins in healthy cells. Researchers have found a protein with an active site that opens and initiates translation only when the protein binds to a small subset of mRNAs -- those critical to regulating the growth and proliferation of cell. Drugs to block this protein may allow a more targeted drug approach, say the investigators.

One Intruder launch used a 411 configuration – also less powerful than the 421 – with an EPF; it is believed that this was done to eliminate the need for a coast phase from the ascent after the previous Intruder launch suffered a propellant leak during this stage of the mission. Subsequent launches have reverted to the 401.
The first of these will last around eleven minutes, followed by a ten-minute coast and a four-minute second burn. An alternative profile, to achieve a higher-perigee orbit, would call for a longer first burn and shorter second burn, separated by a coast phase of more than ninety minutes.

By monitoring stem cell differentiation on gels that mimic the stiffness of biological tissue, researchers have identified the metabolites that stem cells use when selecting bone and cartilage fates. When fed to standard stem cell cultures, these molecules were then found to guide stem cells to generate desired cell types. The study shows how new biomaterials can take the guesswork out of identifying factors that drive stem cell differentiation.

By comparing trends in carrier rocket selection – both performance and payload fairing capacity – and launch profiles, most spacecraft can be identified with a fair degree of certainty before they even launch. NROL-61, however,
Falcon Heavy spacecraft
Its 421 configuration means that the vehicle consists of a single Common Core Booster (CCB) first stage augmented at liftoff by two Aerojet AJ-60A solid rocket motors, a single-engine Centaur upper stage and a four-metre payload fairing to encapsulate the NROL-61 spacecraft, protecting the payload during the ascent through Earth's atmosphere.
Second-generation satellites are believed to be based around an HS-380 series bus, along with Leasat and Intelsat VI, which had lifespans of twelve and thirteen years respectively, while even today the typical lifespan of a modern communications satellite is only about fifteen years, so it seems unlikely that the NRO would be counting on this spacecraft – and hence the Molniya aspect of Quasar, to continue in service without replacement.
The lack of recent Quasar launches to Molniya orbit has prompted speculation that this element of the constellation may no longer be maintained. With three satellites required, then the eighteen-year-old USA-137 – or an older spacecraft – would still need to be operational to ensure continuous coverage.
The same type of rocket was also used to launch Jumpseat signals intelligence satellites to similar orbits and with several launches it is not clear which type of spacecraft was deployed, leading to a small amount of uncertainty as to how many Quasars have been launched.
Third-generation Quasar satellites were launched into low-perigee geostationary transfer orbits; assuming NROL-61 is targeting a similar orbit this will call for two burns of the Centaur's engine prior to spacecraft separation.
This suggests that the stage will complete one revolution in geostationary transfer orbit, with a deorbit burn following spacecraft separation.
Thursday's launch will be the sixth flight of an Atlas V 421 and the fifth to geostationary transfer orbit. The previous geostationary satellites launched by this configuration were two Wideband Global Satcom spacecraft, which used Extended Payload Fairings, and the commercial ICO G1 and Morelos 3 communications satellites which used the Extra-Extended fairing.

Hazard areas announced ahead of the launch show that the rocket will be heading East-South-East towards a geostationary transfer orbit. However, the identity of the payload remains uncertain.
Ignition of the solid rocket motors and liftoff of the vehicle will occur 1.1 seconds later, with the Atlas departing from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 41 and ascending towards orbit.
Spike and the four stars also feature prominently in United Launch Alliance's promotional poster for the mission, which shows Spike sitting atop the Earth with the rocket in the foreground; the solid stars are to the right of the rocket with the hollow star – again larger than the others – above and to the left next to Spike's head.
The extra pads will allow all three main rockets of the firm's upcoming Falcon Heavy to land back at base before being prepared for reuse.
The next satellite, NROL-5 or USA-137, may either have been the first third-generation satellite, or the last second-generation. Boosted by an Atlas IIA rocket, it was launched into Molniya orbit in January 1998 and was the only NRO launch to use an Atlas IIA.

The NRO's next launch will be in December, with an Atlas V 401 flying from Vandenberg on the NROL-79 mission – currently expected to be a pair of Intruder ocean reconnaissance satellites. A further Atlas V 421 launch, NROL-52, is currently scheduled for October 2017 and may be the next flight of the same type of payload as on Thursday's launch.
The NRO have released two cartoon images featuring Spike ahead of the launch, which appear to form part of an outreach exercise to increase interest in spaceflight amongst children.
The outline of the patch itself has thirteen edges, likely representing the fact that Thursday's launch is the thirteenth Atlas V mission for the NRO.
Thursday's launch is the fourth mission of the year for Atlas and the sixth for United Launch Alliance. NROL-61 is the third NRO mission to be launched in 2016,
United Launch Alliance will next be in action in mid-August when a Delta IV is slated to conduct the AFSPC-6 mission; likely to consist of the second pair of Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) space surveillance satellites. Atlas will next launch in early September with NASA's OSIRIS-Rex asteroid sample return mission.

Quasar, also known as the Satellite Data System, or SDS, is a constellation of communications satellites operated by the NRO to support its other intelligence-gathering activities; relaying data from other satellites to the ground in real-time, without having to wait for the intelligence-gathering satellites to pass over ground stations on friendly territory.
Quasar communications satellites and Intruder ocean surveillance satellites have previously used the less powerful Atlas V 401 configuration, with the 12.9-metre (40 ft) Long Payload Fairing (LPF) and 13.1-metre (43 ft) Extended Payload Fairing (EPF) respectively.
The ICO satellite, since renamed EchoStar G1, was based on Space Systems Loral's LS-1300 bus, while Morelos – also known as MEXSAT-2 – was based on Boeing's BSS-702HP-GEM bus. Both carried large reflector antennae to facilitate communications via mobile communication devices. It is, therefore, possible that a fourth-generation Quasar may carry a similar antenna.
