![]() Though Athena didn't end up on the more financially lucrative side of the one-two-three, and then lost to Rosa again in a three-way push for the title that also featured future co-worker Skye Blue, Athena rapidly became one of the focal points of independent wrestling as a whole, with fans clamoring to see who and where she would perform next.įortunately, they didn't have to wait particularly long to see that happen, as, after a short hiatus during the month of February, Athena took the show on the road from March on, with big appearances at the WrestleCon's Mark Hitchcock Memorial Super Show, at MPX vs. It all started at Warrior Wrestling 19, where Athena made her independent wrestling re-debut and took current AEW World Champion, Thunder Rosa, to a 30-minute draw in a bout for the promotion's woman's title. Athena left Ember Moon in the past on her way to AEW. ![]() She embraced the challenge of testing her mettle against some of the best talents the world of professional wrestling had to offer and even earned a championship in the process. No, instead, Moon became Athena, the “Fallen Goddess” who once took the Indies by storm before taking her talents to The Fed in 2015. The Phase 1 project is a 9-month concept feasibility study that will evaluate source parameters and possible mission architectures and will consider the development of an EmberSource X-Ray Flashlight intended to be used in two distinct locations on the moon: Shackleton Crater, and Mare Tranquillitatis, where it could be used to search for significant amounts of water and other volatile materials.When Ember Moon was released by WWE/ NXT in November of 2021, many a fan expected to see her arrive in AEW as soon as her non-compete clause came to an end. A second rover or lander might sit outside the crater, measuring the emission of fluorescence X-rays from the interior." For example, the source might accompany a rover into a permanently shadowed crater, illuminating the floor of the crater and providing power to the rover. "We have several ideas for how the source and detectors would be deployed. The NIAC programme is designed to nurture visionary ideas that could transform future NASA missions, and the flashlight's capabilities for elemental composition analysis and operation in darkness are potentially game changing, Prettyman said. ![]() "The new capabilities provided by this technology could revolutionise lunar exploration by giving us the clearest picture we’ve ever had of what resources are available on the Moon, hopefully paving the way for a sustainable human presence there," Morrison said. Combined with the mobility of a rover, this would enable mapping of the composition of the lunar surface in greater detail than previously possible, USNC said. The X-rays produced by EmberSource would have a beam strength orders of magnitude greater than any previously deployed in space. This uses so-called “embers” made from commercially available, inert isotopes which have been charged with neutrons in a nuclear reactor.īy integrating EmberSource into a specially designed casing, X-rays that would normally be contained by shielding can be instead released through a controllable aperture. The X-ray flashlight will use EmberSource, which is based on a modified version of the EmberCore nuclear chargeable ceramic USNC has been developing for use in propulsion and heating applications in space. Backscattered gamma rays could be used to infer the presence of substances such as water. The signal that is returned to the sensor provides an "elemental fingerprint" of information about the lunar surface and what lies beneath it. The "flashlight" will use a beam of X-rays and gamma rays that can travel over many kilometres, interact with the ground and then bounce back towards a sensor. The Phase 1 study, titled EmberCore Flashlight: Long Distance Lunar Characterisation with Intense Passive X- and Gamma-ray Source, will be led by USNC Chief Engineer, Radioisotopes Chris Morrison, with support from co-investigator Thomas Prettyman of the Planetary Science Institute. The 'flashlight' could be mounted on a rover to study the lunar surface (Image: Chris Morrison) An X-ray "flashlight" which would use an energy source based on Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation's (USNC) EmberCore nuclear chargeable ceramic technology to map the lunar surface has been selected for early-stage funding in the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) programme. ![]()
