Catalonia wants to triple the number of electric vehicles. Has put 1.4 billion euros on the table to get it

by

Salvador Illa, president of the Generalitat, I announced this week The mobilization of more than 1.4 billion euros until 2030 for its impulse plan of the electric vehicle. Catalonia wants to lead The decarbonization objectives imposed by Europeand has several proposals on the table to achieve it. “We have the will, we have talent, we have companies involved and we have a leadership position in the sustainable and automotive mobility sector. Now it’s time to make decisions and adapt with a large degree of self -examination to take advantage of opportunities and capture future investments in clean technologies and intelligent mobility. “He has declared. The plan is cemented on five key axes, which reflect the measures and actions that will be promoted from the Generalitat. Load infrastructure display. The first step is to create a recharge network that can support the ambitious plans of the Generalitat. You want to get promoting an electric recharge network “well sized and capillary, as well as stimulating the demand for load points (with financial incentives to companies, institutions and communities of owners). There are no specific data on how many load points will be necessary for such a high objective, but the Plan details that the availability of sufficient electrical power will be guaranteed through the modernization and expansion of the current network. Impulse for the demand for the electric vehicle. Without a doubt, the most complex objective of the plan is given as The demand for the electric vehicle. You can’t electrify a city if drivers do not want (either They cannot) Go to the electric. Catalonia wants to make the purchase of electric vehicles more affordable through aid, although it does not detail what they will be. It will try to promote the industrial transition of the combustion motorcycle, as well as to increase the use of the electric vehicle in business fleets. To do this, a credit line with “advantageous conditions” for SMEs will be developed. The Generalitat’s own fleet will be electrified, and the price of electrified vehicles will be bonus. Improvement of the perception of the electric vehicle. A somewhat more ambiguous plan is to improve the current perception of this type of vehicles. Catalonia will invest in campaigns to “sensitize citizens”, as well as the business sector. Lead the industry. It is proposed to enhance local production and innovation in batteries, electronic components and smart mobility solutions. The focus on attracting foreign investment, promoting pilot tests of new technologies and talent promotion and promotion. Enhanced with the private. The plan contemplates “effective” governance by coordinating with the private sector. The electric vehicle table will be created, composed of public administrations, private agents of the industrial and energy sector, and mobility companies (recharge points installers, software development, etc.) It is also intended to digitize the procedures to the maximum and reduce the administrative burden to facilitate and decentralize competences. A great ambition, difficult execution. The Catalan government has put an ambitious initiative on the table, which intends to triple the penetration rhythm of the electric vehicle, fold the deployment of load points and favor 150,000 enrollments of electrified vehicles.

Microsoft has canceled the development of Military Hololens. Who takes over: the founder of Oculus

by

It ran the years 2015-2017 when Microsoft began to invest in a big virtual and mixed. The Redmond company integrated this technology until the deepest in Windows 10 and promoted What Meta and Apple call “Metaverso” and “Spatial computing“, respectively. However, its proposal has been diluted over time and now the company has other open fronts: the AI ​​and the cloud. The Hololens 3 They were canceled in 2022 and the production of the Hololens 2 stopped at the end of last year. The question is what would happen to ivas (Integrated visual increase system) AKA The Hololens -based helmet that Microsoft was developing for the US army. Today, we finally have an answer: the project is in the hands of Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus Rift and Anduril. Context. The development of IVA dates from 2018 and, for the moment, has not left the test phase. It does not seem to be a simple project and has not been exempt from criticism. In fact, as soon as the projects of Hololens ask Microsoft to cancel the contract (valued at about 22,000 million dollars) because the product was going to “help people to kill.” Satya Nadella came out in defense of it, claiming that Microsoft “will not hide technology to the institutions that we have chosen in democracies to protect the freedoms we enjoy.” What is ivas? It’s a Hololens -based reality visor based on Hololens For military purposes. The idea is to improve the vision of soldiers by adding information layers superimposed on the image itself. For example, thermal vision, night vision, maps, routes, etc. Although at first it was intended only to infantry, later versions added the possibility of controlling drones and helicopters remotely. Its launch was scheduled for 2021, but different problems and delays have led the date to this year, 2025. We will see. Image | Microsoft Microsoft gets off the car … Despite the lucrative of the contract, the reality is that the Hololens project has been very deflated over time. So much so that in October last year Microsoft put an end to him. The company stopped producing the Hololens 2, but announced that it would support until 2027 and, here is the crumb, which remained “totally committed to the IVA program of the United States Department of Defense.” … And Palmer Luckey is uploaded. Microsoft He has just announced A collaboration agreement with Anduril Industries, the Palmer Luckey defense company, founder and creator of Oculus Rift. As Microsoft has detailed, the objective is to “boost the following phase of the IVAS Program of the United States Army.” Image | Microsoft The agreement is aware of the approval by the Department of Defense, but from now on “Anduril will assume the supervision of production, the future development of hardware and software, and delivery deadlines.” This agreement also establishes “Microsoft Azure as Anduril’s favorite hyperscale cloud for all IVA -related workloads and Anduril’s technologies.” The idea, of course, is to take advantage of the points where each company is strong. Anduril knows about defense and military requirements, while Microsoft has taken the opportunity to get chest from Azure (its cloud) and its artificial intelligence capabilities.

“All his life takes place from a position of insecurity”

Personal relationships between Elon Musk and Sam Altman do not go through their best time since, in 2018, Musk decided disconnect from OpenAI For disagreements with Altman. Since then, Elon Musk Musk has tried to take control of Openai, or at least, prevent Altman With different demands. The last one has been to launch a hostile bid to buy Openai for 97.4 billion dollars. Altman’s response has not been expected: “Probably his whole life takes place from a position of insecurity. I’m sorry for him.” War is unleashed with the OPA. The last step in the escalation of this personal war between Elon Musk and Sam Altman has come from the presentation of a hostile OPA offer worth 97,400 million. Musk made it public from its X profile, to which Openai’s CEO He replied pulling irony. “No, thanks, but we will buy Twitter for 9,740 million dollars if you want,” pointing out the loss of value of the Musk social network. Provocation to which Tesla’s CEO He simply respondedwith a “Sam scammer.” In one recent interview for Bloomberg on the occasion of the Paris Action SummitSam Altman responded about the intentions of Elon Musk’s offer, noting that he suspects that Musk really seeks with the proposal is not to buy OpenAi, but to prevent his company from expanding its advantage in the development of AI. Referring to Musk’s mood For braking OpenaiAltman pointed out that “probably his whole life is from a position of insecurity. I feel empathy for the guy who feels like me, in reality. I don’t think he is a happy person.” Sam Altman is no longer cut. For many years, Sam Altman has elegantly endured Elon Musk’s constant envito recognition words for Musk. In An interview In the podcast The Free Press, Sam Altman acknowledged that Elon Musk, with whom Openai co -founded, “did a lot to help OpenAi in the first days,” and said Musk is a “legendary entrepreneur.” However, he was no longer going to tolerate more direct attacks of the millionaire of South African origin, which he described as “thug.” Throwing firewood. The presentation of Stargate project, Led by Altman, he again enervated a Musk that was relegated to a secondary role in AI. The owner of X, attacked Altman From your profileaccusing him from x of lying and not having enough capital to carry out that project. On this occasion, Altman’s response was not as calm as other times, and sarcastically invited him to visit the first Stargate data center and reminded him that “this is good for the country. I realize that what It is good for the country, it is not always optimal for its companies, but in your new role I hope you put the US first. “ In Xataka | How much money Elon Musk has: how the fortune of the man who plans the colonization of Mars from a social network is distributed Image | Flickr (Ted Conference, Techcrunch)

‘The island of temptations’ overwhelming in February

by

Finally, it has neither ‘Big Brother’ nor ‘First Dates’ nor, of course, ‘Next Level Chef’ the Mediaset bet that has planted that roller of audiences that are ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’. He has been an old acquaintance of the house (eighth year already) in the genre that I rent the most of Telecinco (the realitiesSubsection beaches and sand), and with the unexpected help of this year’s great television viral surprise: Montoya. The frightened of Montoya. Montoya’s attempt to enter the house where his girlfriend was with one of the seducers has gone around the world for his many comic elements: the overflowing passion of the contestant, the screams of Sandra Barneda asking him to return, the (possible) good Physical form of the camera that had to follow him … all that made a more than possible script scene but, fiction or not, it was exciting, which has generated Thousands of memes in everyone. We are left with Don Pico Patobut yesterday Whoopi Goldberg It was a trend in Spain Because in his morning debate program he had spoken with his Dyslate of Montoya. Good audiences. Before the final explosion of Montoya we talked that the program had not started with audiences especially high. Last week, when Montoya began to be a family name, the season had an average audience close to 16% of Share, similar to last year. But from there, he has not stopped climbing. Strategies in search of audience. The tactic that Mediaset has carried out is to chop its Monday program, first issuing an “express” edition that retains interest and competes with ‘El Hormiguero’ and ‘La Revuelta’. This past Monday was issued between 22.06 and 23.10 and reached 14.9% screen share, an absolutely unheard of Telecinco (‘Big Brother’, when it was issued in that section of coincidence, it stays at 6%) . ‘El Hormiguero’ got 14% of Share and ‘La Revuelta’ 15%, with which Montoya was only a tenth below Broncano. From that point of the night the audience of the reality He shot, reaching 21.4% and defeating their competitors: the talent culinary ‘bake off’ and the Turkish soap opera ‘Renacer’. 9 out of 10. Even before the global domination of the Montoya Meme, ‘The island of temptations’ already had a brand to show off: 9 of the 10 most viewed emissions in January belong to them. It is a space that usually dominate the afternoon snakes of La1, but Montoy Prime Timebut certainly explains the interest that this new edition has aroused. The audiences, child. Since ‘the revolt’ they have always made references to the war of audiences with ‘El Hormiguero’, not taking them too seriously (especially, because frivolizing about their value is also a form of attack to those who do value them), and This Tuesday was Lalachus the one that referred to the entrance of the new contender. Broncano finished the issue with a reference to one of the most ridiculously viral aspects of suffering from Montoya: “The battle of the decade, interrupted by a pussy in the neck.” Header | Mediaset In Xataka | Broncano, Giró and Buenafuente: the plan of the new director of TVE to put the war of audiences up

Tesla faces a perfect storm and his actions are paying him expensive

by

We have been for 43 days of the year 2025 and Elon Musk has lived a roller coaster of emotions. In less than a month and a half he has confirmed that he is one of the strong men of the Donald Trump government, with controversial investiture included, and at the same time he has seen losing hundreds of millions of euros of his fortune. Tesla is very blamed. A collapse. Tesla ended the year 2024 asking for the time and the consequences have begun to be noticed in this 2025. On December 17 of last year, Tesla’s shares cost $ 479.86. Since then, the fall has been sustained, despite a small rebound a week later. However, Tesla’s actions have fallen until 328.50 euros at the time we write These lines. It is a collapse of more than 30%, devaluing the action almost 25% in what we have been. And the fall has been especially pronounced in what we have of the month of February. Less than two weeks ago, the action exceeded the barrier of 400 euros. What happened? The reasons being wielded to explain the fall They are many and varied But they can be summarized at some key points: Bad results of the company Elon Musk’s political slope The competition ads and, especially, by byd Bad results. The end of the year for Tesla was complicated. The company sought, by all means, to prevent the year 2024 from becoming the first year of “non -growth.” The company reduced prices, offered 0% financing and free recharges to try to carry sales figures above 2023 But he didn’t finish getting it. That has left an important hangover in its market. In 2025, the registrations have collapsed which indicates that they could have put in the commercial network more vehicles than those who now have to give out. In Stellantis they know well what we are talking about, with A crisis in United Statess for this reason that has ended with Carlos Tavares outside the address of the company. A 2025 that does not start well. In the first bars of 2025, Tesla sales have fallen very hard. It is still early to know what the company of Elon Musk will hold the year but in China, the company’s main market, They have fallen hard. Tesla has in Europe a good ceiller to continue exploding. However, Your sales In Germany (by volume, the main European market of the electric car) reflect falls of almost 60% in January. In France (second market) they have also exceeded that barrier and in more fragile markets such as Spanish, variation is even more striking with a 75%decrease. They are not good short -term perspectives. A Tesla Model and renewed. But more expensive and without solving the demands of the Chinese market. Local market customers are turning positions towards More technological and advanced models But, above all, towards brands that are able to evolve their cars very quickly. The paradigm shift is such that Catl has begun to invent the term of “Smart Electric Car”. Renew the image without offering large additions or new incentives at the software level, following the rhythms marked by the traditional automobile industry, may not be enough for Tesla in China. Elon Musk and politics. Position yourself as one of the strong men of Donald Trump’s government can serve Tesla to Accelerate plans To put on the streets the Tesla Cybercab and try to burn stages that to other manufacturers It has cost them years and billions of dollars. However, there are several aspects to take into account: A competition that squeezes. Although no one in Europe and the United States still does not offer the autonomy/price ratio of which the western manufacturers presume They are launching more and more products to the market to rival Elon Musk’s company. Maybe they are cars smaller or higher consumption But more and more vehicles are in prices of between 25,000 and 30,000 euros that, if you are aware of the needs of the home or the small discomforts they can have on long tripsthey are more than valid for the vast majority of the potential public. A bomb called “Eye of God”. Beyond European competition, a good part of its economic results are played in China. In that market you live in a continuous price war where Musk’s own company has participated for try to sweep competitors and leave them along the way. But Byd has launched a bomb: it will offer its autonomous (supervised) driving systems for free in all electric cars, be of the range that is. Its Byd Seagull, its best -selling model because it has a demolition price that to the direct change is below 10,000 euros, it will also have what The company calls “Eye of God”. I give it to you. The news is especially relevant because Tesla wanted to make automated driving one of her great incentives to sell her cars. But, above all, I thought it could be a new business to exploit with subscriptions and the purchase of functions at a price of thousands of euros. Giving this system, which is vitaminated with DeepseekByd has launched a missile to the Tesla flotation line invalidating the argument of its autopilot, which So much is costing them to work in ChinaIt is a differential value. The impact has been such that in the last five days the action of Tesla has fallen almost 60 euros and the decrease has been much more accused in the last two days. At the same time, Byd’s action has not stopped growing. In the last five days more than 20% has been fired and around 22% in what we have been in 2025.

drones and robots against Russian troops

by

In the war and from the military point of view, the Definition of an offensive It is “that way of acting from an army that attacks the enemy.” The offensive in a contest has as its own characteristics the movement, action and initiative, and the adversary is sought where it is to destroy it. All these guidelines have been followed in one way or another in the different wars and conflicts with a common denominator: humans. In The Ukraine War is no longer. The first exclusive combined assault. It happened at the end of 2024, when the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine (“Khartiia”) carried out The first combined attack in history using only drones surprising the Russian forces in the Járkiv region, near Lyptsi. This innovative operation used a variety of air and terrestrial drones, from FPV units to armed robots and recognition drones operating in different functions: attack, recognition and support, and resulting The first mechanized assault without human intervention in direct combat. The operation was directed by the Brigade land robotics squad, known as “Deus Ex Machina”led by the soldier with badge “Happy”, a 22 -year -old with a formation in military engineering. His unit, specialized in the use and innovation of terrestrial drones, assumed the challenge of organizing a completely automated assault in just one week. To do this, Routes, control points and specific communication channels were established. The role of drones. The objective of the attack was to prepare the terrain for future offensive, disorganize Russian troops, destroy key objectives and test coordination between the command center and drone units. According to the Brigade “Shuhai” officer, The use of robotic platforms to attack the enemy and explore its positions is already a need on the modern battlefield. Ukraine has stressed that the operation marks a milestone in the future of wars. One of the Ukrainian terrestrial robots used, in tests. The plan. The preparation was meticulous due to the lack of precedents in this type of offensive. Three physical and virtual simulations were performed to ensure precision in executionand although the exact number of deployed drones was not revealed, the participation of several dozens was confirmed, including aerial and terrestrial FPV drones, terrestrial drones with machine gun torrettas, heavy four -seater drones of bombing and aerial drones of recognition and surveillance. Two days before the attack, The drones were transferred to their initial positions. Less than 100 soldiers participated in the offensive in operators, logistics and planning. Approximately 30 drones of different types were deployed, each managed by a human pilot instead of using swarm technology. Enemy execution and reaction. As we said, the offensive took place in a Russian fortified position near a dense forest. The simultaneous arrival of terrestrial and aerial drones took the Russian soldiers by surprisewho, accustomed to air drones attacks, did not expect the combination with armed terrestrial units. Ukrainian intelligence has explained that through the radio interceptions they found chaos in the Russian lines, which were confronted with an invisible enemy without human soldiers in sight. One of the main challenges was the land. They say that the thick mud characteristic of Ukraine hindered the movement of terrestrial drones, and although some were stuck, none was destroyed by enemy fire. In addition, the offensive was carried out with a huge level of precision: No drone losses were reported due to Russian electronic warfarea Common problem in this type of operations. Lessons learned. The Ukrainian infantry took and assured the position, consolidating an advance in the Járkiv front. Despite the success, the operation presented several challenges. How do we count, Several terrestrial drones were stuck in the fieldwhich slowed some aspects of progress. Some video records They showed that the Russians tried to repel the attack with mortars, drones with bombs and FPV units, although without achieving a significant destruction of Ukrainian devices. In this regard, one of the main learning was The need to improve coordination between terrestrial and aerial drones, as well as the management of communications in combat. That said, and despite the obstacles, the operation reaffirmed that robotic systems have enormous potential in modern war. A different war. We have told it in the past. The development of military robots is booming In various parts of the world. Companies such as Milrem Robotics (Estonia), Roboteam (United States-Israel) or Unmanned System Technologies (United Kingdom) have advanced in the production of terrestrial systems, although no one has yet managed to completely replace human soldiers. Reliability, coordination and adaptability remain challenges in real combat. In that sense, the experience of the Khartiia brigade is unique, since they have managed to execute a robotic assault on real war conditions, providing valuable lessons for the industry and the armies of the world. “We are in the era of muskets in regard to war with drones,” The sergeant chief of the Ukrainian non -manned land vehicle unit reflectedcomparing the current technological advance with the first firearms. The war future: autonomous. As technology progresses, the development of completely autonomous robots is approaching. Even so, priority remains to improve coordination, overcome logistics difficulties such as land and improve communication systems. “Russians should expect more operations like this”, “Shuhai” warnedunderlining that the war with drones will continue to evolve. What began as an experimental mission with low expectations became a historical operation, demonstrating the ability of drones to coordinate a combined attack without direct intervention of human soldiers in the front.

It is getting back much more in origin than in the supermarket

by

The story is known: from 2021 the price of olive oil He started up quickly. On the one hand, the extreme weather conditions had ruined the olive harvest and, on the other, The Ukraine War had caused A sudden increase in production costs. It was a “perfect storm” and we noticed it. What if we notice. What we are not noticing is the opposite phenomenon. Chronicle of a climb. At the end of 2022, The liter was worth 114% more than two years agothe campaign was going very badly and the sector began to understand that it was heading to a dead end. The problem had only started, of course. For summer of 2024, The oil was worth 100.4% more than in 2022 and 62% more than in 2023. demand (showing its inelasticity) I had not fallen so much, but I had fallen 44.5% in just two years. In addition, as a logical market response, the rest of consumer oils grew a lot. But now the thing has changed. The campaign has been fantastic and that has caused the price of oil in origin to fall rapidly. In fact, As we have commented in recent weekshas fallen below four euros the liter that, traditionally, supposed the olive line of profitability in Spain. Spurred by the delicate financial and productive situation of the sector, the descent has been very very very. We could say that, in a year, The price has dropped 53.3%; However, that descent is concentrated in recent months or even weeks. What happens in supermarkets? What happens is that it is not exactly what we are seeing in supermarkets. According to Facuathe one -liter bottle (on average) has only dropped 24%. It is not a surprise. It has been months for months that the world’s main bottling companies They announced that prices were not going to fall so fast. According to their logic, they could not impact all the oil rise to consumers and that generated financial problems (the owner of brands such as hojiblanca or carbonell, lost 34.3 million euros in 2023): 2024 was time to recover. And that’s what is happening: the famous “Cohete-Plum Effect“That we see with gasoline. The prices rise very fast and go down very slowly. What can we expect? Continuity. Prices have to go down in supermarkets, that is given by all analysts. The big question (In the middle of the very satisfactory campaign) It is how much the great actors in the sector will be contained.

The benefits of Chips chips manufacturer have fallen 45% in 2024. US sanctions have injured

by

In the middle of last January we tell you that during 2024 the semiconductor industry of China has produced 12.5% more than in 2023. Not bad at all, especially if we are in mind that US sanctions And his allies prevent Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers access lithography equipment for extreme ultraviolet (UVE) produced by the Dutch company ASML. And since the beginning of 2024 they cannot buy more machines from deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP). At the current situation it is reasonable that we ask ourselves what kind are the integrated circuits that Chinese manufacturers are massively producing. And the answer is very revealing: these are chips derived from mature integration technologiesusually 28 nm or less advanced. After all, the semiconductors that we find mostly on electronic devices, appliances or cars, among other products, have been produced using them. The sanctions hinder the production of avant -garde chips to SMIC A good part of Chinese chip manufacturers, such as Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics or Guangzhou Zensemi, is manufacturing integrated circuits of 28 Nm or with even more mature technologies. And the company Beijing Yandong Microelectronics (YDME) will build A plant of 4.6 billion dollars expressly to produce 28 Nm semiconductors in 300 mm wafers. It is evident that these companies would not turn in this way in the manufacture of mature chips if it was not a profitable strategy, and, above all, necessary to support the Chinese industry of the integrated circuits at such a critical moment as the current one. SMIC has the ability to manufacture integrated 7 nm circuits. And probably also 5 nm However, the business of SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), which is the largest Chinese manufacturer of semiconductors with a fee in the world market of about 5%it goes for other paths. This company currently has the ability to manufacture Integrated 7 Nm circuits. And probably also 5 nm. We know it with total certainty because this company manufactures, for example, the soc Kirin 9000s integrated into the smartphone Mate 60 Pro of Huawei, which has been scrupulously analyzed by several laboratories aligned with the US, such as the Canadian Techinsights. Unlike most of Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers, SMIC does not live from mature chips. Your business revolves around the avant -garde semiconductors. To manufacture the 7 NM circuits that is delivering to Huawei and other customers using the UVP lithography equipment that has in its possession has been forced to resort to a technique known as Multiple patterning. And this strategy has two problems: it has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decrease in production capacity. In addition, it is important that we do not overlook that the sanctions deployed by the US and the Netherlands prevent SMIC from buying more UVP teams from ASML. And it also does not have access to some maintenance and support services. These circumstances have caused their performance and competitiveness for 2024 They have deterioratedand as a consequence Its benefits have fallen 45%: Of the 902.5 million dollars that reached in 2023 to 492.7 million in 2024. There is no doubt that it is a hard blow for a company with the size that SMIC has, so it will be interesting to verify how it reacts for 2025 To improve your competitiveness.

launch a super hubble dedicated to looking for extraterrestrial life

by

Last summer, NASA opened a new office at the Goddard Space Flight Center dedicated exclusively to design the most ambitious telescope in history. The habitable Worlds Observatory. With an investment of 17.5 million dollars only to explore the necessary technologies to materialize it, the HWO is described as a super hubblea new generation space telescope designed to look for extraterrestrial life on other planets. And we are not talking about planets of the Solar System. This observatory of habitable worlds will be dedicated to looking for biofirms on extra -land planets similar to the earth, the exoplanets that are discovered at a habitable distance of its star. A huge space telescope. If there is a clear thing is that The HWO will have imposing dimensions. NASA is considering mirrors that could measure between 4 and 15 meters in diameter. A savage compared to 2.4 meters of Hubble and 6.5 meters from James Webb. A greater magnitude would increase its ability to capture light and details of the exoplanets, but it would also complicate their deployment, taking into account that, like the webb, it will be located 1.5 million kilometers from the earth, in the second point of equilibrium Lagrange gravitational. Starship, heats you. Bringing such a large telescope to L2 will necessarily require any of the most powerful rockets in the world. Taking into account the SLS cancellation rumorsThere are two options left: New Glenn: The new Blue Origin rocket has a 7 -meter wide cofa, much larger than the standard of 5.4. I could launch the HWO if NASA opted for a compact version of the telescope Starship: The highest and most powerful rocket in the world has a 9 -meter load bay. By the time the HWO is ready, Spacex will have the completely operational ship, even with the ability to refuel in orbit to compensate for the enormous use of propellants in takeoff If the HWO ends up being larger than the James Webb space telescope (which was launched folded in the European rocket Ariane 5), Then Starship will be virtually the best option for deployment. What can we expect from HWO. Among the instruments planned for the telescope, there will be a very high sensitivity coronographer. It will allow to block the light of the stars to focus on the planets that orbit them. In addition, it will integrate high -resolution cameras, an advanced spectroscope and a fourth instrument yet to be defined. Unlike the Webb, which focuses on infrared, the HWO will operate on the visible spectrum and cover some ultraviolet and infrared bands, hence it is seen as the spiritual successor of the Hubble telescope. When will it be ready. According to the most optimistic calculations, around 2034. But taking into account that manufacturing its mirrors will require a precision at the scale of itchometers, we can expect a slow and complex process that perhaps approaches the release date to 2040. However, the lessons learned from James Webb (which cost 10,000 million dollars and launched after numerous delays) could help reduce cost overruns and postponements of this type of scientific missions. The HWO is not, in fact, a project that just put on the table. It arises from the convergence of previous initiatives such as Habex and Luvoir, and drinks from years of experience in previous missions.
