Please select options for Deep Dish Bullitt Chrome Wheel - 20x10 - Rear Only (05-14 All, Excluding GT500) at the top of this page.
Classic Bullitt Muscle. Show off your proud pony heritage with the muscular look of the iconic 20x8.5 Bullitt rim, the classic design with seamless arms flowing to a deeper-than-stock lip. Designed for a staggered setup, this rim looks incredible with our matching 20x8.5 Chrome Bullitt Wheels in the front.
Will the tread pattern allow these to be rotated? Is the tread pattern such that slurred these wheels to be rotated across the car?
Are the TPS installed? Are the TPS installed? Doesn't show them in the box.
LOWERING CAR I HAVE AN 05' GT AND IM PLANNING ON INSTALLING A HANDLING PACKAGE THAT WILL LOWER THE CAR BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES. WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO PUT 20'S ON THE CAR WITH 275/40/20'S TIRES IN THE REAR WITHOUT IT RUBBING?
The tire your looking at is 28.66 tall. The tire i have is 24.75 tall, i lowered my car 1.5 inch i sill have a tad over two fingers in the rear plus the wheel well. You should have room under there for that.
Will these fit '13 Mustang GT with Brembo Brake Package?
Great look beautiful finish. Got the look I was going for.
I was amazed upon opening box the rims looked huge and extremely shiny wasn't sure if they were going to fit! Installed them on car and they fit perfectly as promised no rubbing or any problems! They changed whole appearance of car wish I would have purchased a lot sooner!
Nice deep dish aggressive look!
Very Happy with the look. I wanted the Foose Chrome wheels, but they were always out of stock, so these were my 2nd choice, However that was my gain so I bought a set of these wheels. The look is Sharp and I saved over $500 by buying these. " My only regreat I should have bought the Tire Package aswell because that was a very good deal ", My new back tires cost over $700.
I was blown away by the amazing finish of these wheels! They are definitely the way to go if you want your mustang to POP and stand out from the rest! I thought I got a lot of looks before, that was nothing compared to now. They catch everyone's eyes! Big FIVE STARS!
I purchased the 20" staggered wheels with the Nitto tires. These were a replacement for the factory 18" Ford wheels and tires. What a difference! I had the sensors installed by AM and all I had to do was put them on the car and set the sensors with the supplied tool with the push of a button. Installation was a breeze and the new stance on my 08 GT is perfect. The ride is great and road noise is suprisingly quiet - even with these big ole "meats' on it. The wheels fit perfectly in the wheel wells with no issues. The quality is A+ and the packaging kept them blemish free upon arrival. Wheels arrived in perfect condition and quickly. I can't tell you how a nice set of wheels and tires can change the look of a car. Perfect tire/wheel combo for a late model Mustang. You won't be disappointed. And the cost was less than the local discount tire and wheel shop.
I really liked the idea of getting premounted wheels and tires. I chose the Bullitt style and think they look great. I am disappointed that the rear is 30 series. I would much rather have had a complete match with the 35. Not particularly crazy about the low profile and ride. I would still recommend this product though.
Everything that is promised in the description of these tires and rims is 100%. The price they quoted me for delivery to Canada was the all in price right to the door and no problems coming across the border. Installation was a piece of cake even for me and I am 62 years old. Having very little computer experience even I could install the Tire monitoring system onto the car's computer thanks to the video they sent. Truly happy with American Muscle and I pray winter ends soon so I can show them off.
Ordered my wheel and tire package on a sunday and received it in about 8 days. This was very surprising considering I live in Canada and expected shipping to take a bit of time. The staff was more than helpful and answered every question i had. I was very satisfied with the price of the product along with shipping costs. The wheels arrived in perfect condition and i could not be happier with fitment and the overall look. I saved a lot of money and no one local could match the price. Great job American muscle!!


Possibly the best way to get ideas and inspiration is to hear from those who have been successful or responsible for great business development strategies.
With this simple model mind I have recently been interviewing a variety of influential business people at senior director, Chief Executive and Managing Director level for the future series of 'Backstage Business Development' interviews that will be launching soon on the Financial Times Guide To Business Development Blog. Here is a list of just some of the people I have met and interviewed in the last week for the series.
Jeremy Ellis – Marketing Director of TUI UK, which includes Thomson and First Choice Holidays. Jeremy chatted to me about how Thomson Holidays have found a way to differentiate themselves from the competition by creating holiday brands and products out of the specific holiday requirements of different types of people.
John Roberts – Founder and Chief Executive of Appliances Online – John is one of the most inspirational business people I have ever met and who has built a hugely successful business around innovative concepts of 'customer service'. He has transformed the way in which people buy their white goods, like freezers, fridges etc.
Wendy Atkin-Smith – UK Managing Director of Viking River Cruises – Viking are the world's leading river cruise line. I spoke to Wendy about how Viking River Cruises have continued to grow and develop their business in the face of a difficult economic climate.
These articles will be posted soon and all contain some great material that will give everyone interested in business development real food for thought, discussion and future action.
Businesses now have the opportunity to be able to benefit from online training programs aimed to increase the market value of the business and help business professionals learn marketing techniques effectively.

On the night of December 22, 1981, Rhonda Hinson would leave an office holiday party only to be found hours later in a ditch beside her car with a bullet in her back. What exactly happened that night? Who shot Rhonda Hinson? How did she end up outside her car? This week, the guys attempt to find answers to a mystery that has plagued a small North Carolina town for over 34 years. Who killed Rhonda Hinson?

As plastic technology has continued to evolve, so has the type of material used for modern windows. From cars to boats to architecture, plastic is becoming a common material for windows, and for a number of good reasons. Plastic is lightweight, can be easily molded and is less apt to shatter than most glass. If you are looking for a plastic material to use for windows, here are some of the types you will want to consider.
Acrylic is a popular choice for windshields, drive up windows and similar applications. It is particularly resistant to UV radiation, which makes it ideal for outdoor recreation applications, including vehicle and marine use. It will resist scratching better than glass and is fairly easy to seal. Acrylic also has the benefit of being an affordable plastic option.
Acrylic, particularly marine grade plastic like Piedmont Plastics' Piedmont Marine Grade product, is specifically popular with boat windshield manufacturers. It has a high impact resistance that ensures it will not break under the pressure and stress of the marine environment or the manufacturing process.
Polycarbonate is another popular material for windows. It weighs much less than glass and has high clarity. Like acrylic, it resists shattering and breakage, even in tough applications. Polycarbonate is easy to thermoform, which means it can be crafted into the exact shape needed for the window, even if that shape is curved for aerodynamics.
In addition, polycarbonate is easy to tint and shade, which allows for windows to be tinted to protect the occupants of a vehicle or a building from heat and glare. It is cheaper and more convenient to tint the plastic before installing it instead of adding a tinted film after installation, which is why polycarbonate is the material of choice for those who manufacture camper shells and truck cap windows.
Piedmont Plastics ha a number of specialty acrylic and polycarbonate sheet options that work well for windows. These have specific formulations to ensure they can meet the specific requirements for scratch and chemical resistance for your window needs. Many are flame retardant or feature high optical clarity that make them the ideal choice for windows.
To find the right plastic sheet for your specific application, contact the team at Piedmont Plastics. Our knowledgeable sales pros will help you choose the acrylic, polycarbonate or specialty sheet that will best fit your need, so you can enjoy the benefits of plastics for your window applications.

On the ninth of August, 1964, Rome lay asleep in afternoon light as the sun swirled in a blinding pinwheel above its roofs, its low hills, and its gilded domes. The city was quiet and all was still except the crowns of a few slightly swaying pines, one lost and tentative cloud, and an old man who rushed through the Villa Borghese, alone. Limping along paths of crushed stone and tapping his cane as he took each step, he raced across intricacies of sunlight and shadow spread before him on the dark garden floor like golden lace.
Alessandro Giuliani was tall and unbent, and his buoyant white hair fell and floated about his head like the white water in the curl of a wave. Perhaps because he had been without his family, solitary for so long, the deer in deer preserves and even in the wild sometimes allowed him to stroke their cloud-spotted flanks and touch their faces. And on the hot terra cotta floors of roof gardens and in other, less likely places, though it may have been accidental, doves had flown into his hands. Most of the time they held in place and stared at him with their round gray eyes until they sailed away with a feminine flutter of wings that he found beautiful not only for its delicacy and grace, but because the sound echoed through what then became an exquisite silence.
As he hurried along the Villa Borghese he felt his blood rushing and his eyes sharpening with sweat. In advance of his approach through long tunnels of dark greenery the birds caught fire in song but were perfectly quiet as he passed directly underneath, so that he propelled and drew their hypnotic chatter before and after him like an ocean wave pushing through an estuary. With his white hair and thick white mustache, Alessandro Giuliani might have seemed English were it not for his cream-colored suit of distinctly Roman cut and a thin bamboo cane entirely inappropriate for an Englishman. Still trotting, breathless, and tapping, he emerged from the Villa Borghese onto a long wide road that went up a hill and was flanked on either side by a row of tranquil buildings with tile roofs from which the light reflected as if it were a waterfall cascading onto broken rock.
Had he looked up he might have seen angels of light dancing above the throbbing bright squares — in whirlwinds, will-o´-the-wisps, and golden eddies — but he didn't look up, for he was intent on getting to the end of the long road, to a place where he had to catch a streetcar that, by evening, would take him far into the countryside. He would have said, anyway, that it was better to get to the end of the road than to see angels, for he had seen angels many times before. Their faces shone from paintings; their voices rode the long and lovely notes of arias; they descended to capture the bodies and souls of young children; they sang and perched in the trees; they were in the surf and the streams; they inspired dancing; and they were the right and holy combination of words in poetry. As he climbed the hill he thought not of angels and their conveyances, but of a motorized trolley. It was the last to leave Rome on Sunday, and he did not want to miss it . . .

In our latest report on the local real estate trends in communities we work with located in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we will show the ways the local real estate market has changed year over year in the town or city being discussed. As always all real estate is local so despite national, regional and state trends any given city or town can be going up, down or staying pretty much the same. In the cases where a municipality is seeing a slowdown in the market sellers may want to adjust their expectations of price and speed at which they can sell their properties.
Today we are highlighting Belmont, MA in Middlesex County, a very affluent community north of Boston and home to former MA governor and 2012 republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
The real estate market in Belmont has slowed down since last year according to our MLS data. Average listing prices are down and so are the average sale prices; however the average days on market are actually down a bit, which is similar to our last report on Seekonk, MA (and like that report this is somewhat deceptive). The number of sold properties went down slightly from 21 to 18.
In August 2013 the average listed price for a single family house in Belmont, MA was $1,067,614; by August 2014 that had declined to $980,722. This is a fairly significant 8.14% decrease year over year. This indicates that people are paying less than last year. The Realtors in town are trying to meet this decrease by adjusting down the prices they are telling clients to list their properties at.
The average sale price in August 2013 in Belmont was $1,056,536; in August 2014 that was down to $981,111. That is a decrease of 7.14%, a little bit less than the listing price numbers above. This shows that to some extent that the local real estate professionals are getting prices adjusted in line with market realities and aren't taking bigger hits than necessary in the sales price compared to several of our past Market Trendreports.
While prices are down one encouraging thing for sellers in Belmont is that the days on market are actually down a bit. Back in August 2013 the days on market there was 52.05; but in August 2014 it was down to 38.56, that is a 25.9% decrease. As mentioned earlier we did see this same pattern in the recent article on Seekonk, MA but this is actually a little abnormal. It is much more common for the days on market go up when prices are going down. With declining prices people are likely to list a property to high to start. In several of our previous reports (Abington, Bedford and Seekonk) these small number of overall sales can have numbers thrown out of whack with a single major outlier. In the case of Belmont this is actually true again. While 2014 does not look odd at all with numbers but there is a single place in the 2013 data that is throwing the numbers way off. One place was on the market for 464 days, which is almost double the 2nd and 3rd highest put together. If you remove this point the other 20 properties averaged out to 31.45. If you use that number instead days on market actually did increase 22.6%. It is a more accurate representation to use the adjusted number for this particular metric. This also mitigates some of the good news for sellers that they were getting at first glance.
With lower listing prices and lower sale prices the market in Belmont, Massachusetts has slowed down since last year. The decrease in days on market was an artifact of one abnormally long sale last year and when adjusting for that, those have moved somewhat in the wrong direction for sellers as well. Sellers in Belmont may have missed the 2013 peak in the market and may not be able to get the same prices this year. In summary if you are looking to sell your Belmont, MA house now you should expect to get less than you would have gotten last year and will need to take a discount off your listed price to avoid long drawn out sales process.


Warned weekly about no cheering in the press box, the role of aloof observer transfers seamlessly to the recliner.
On Saturday night, safe from NCAA watchdogs, the prohibition was ignored and Stanford was rooted on.
Taking a stand was more anti-Oregon than pro-Cardinal and had nothing to do with the Southeastern Conference possibly being shut out of the BCS title game or the hideous wing-adorned uniforms. For weeks, the word has been that Oregon�s rapid-fire offense is unstoppable, that the lack of strength in the Pac-12 should not prevent the Ducks from playing in the title game, and how it was a shame that Alabama had lost because the Crimson Tide defense vs. the Ducks� offense would have been epic.
The love affair with the Ducks was too much. Years ago, dominance of the Yankees provoked a similar distaste.
Stanford�s victory was old fashioned, predicated on splendid defense, controlling the ball more with a solid running game, generally good decisions at quarterback, and an edge in the kicking game.
The ultimate offense failed on 13 of 17 third downs and twice on fourth down. Hitting .210 on conversions won�t get it.
The way Stanford played defense says football smart and smart in general are not mutually exclusive. Not long ago, the theory was that Notre Dame (11-0) couldn�t win because of academic standards and that Vanderbilt (7-4) and Northwestern (8-3) were in a similar bind.
Once Baylor�s rout of previous No. 1 Kansas State was final, we were told folks in Tuscaloosa, Ala., were glued to the Oregon telecast. Eventually, somebody realized that Georgia is also in line for the BCS title game.
Alabama won�t lose to Auburn this week and Georgia shouldn�t lose to Georgia Tech. If both come through, the SEC champion will be 12-1 and headed for the Jan. 7 game in Miami. The only way the winner in Atlanta is excluded is if Georgia loses to its in-state rival and then defeats Alabama � unlikely, but not impossible.
Last weekend, the SEC went from being an outsider to being one upset away from providing both teams in the title game for the second year in a row.
This week, Notre Dame is No. 1, followed by Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Unlikely, but say the Fighting Irish cave under the pressure. From there, Alabama over Auburn and Georgia, combined with Florida over Atlantic Coast Conference champion Florida State, adds up to the Crimson Tide at No. 1 and the Gators at No. 2.
By the same token, it wouldn�t take much for No. 7 LSU, which should beat up on Arkansas on Friday in Fayetteville, to wind up in the BCS Sugar Bowl. At 10-2, the Tigers would likely jump the loser of the SEC title game and a Florida team that loses to Florida State, even though the Gators beat LSU 14-6 in early October.
Meanwhile, it�s feast or famine for bowls with SEC tie-ins. Let�s say that Florida and South Carolina beat the Atlantic Coast Conference�s best, Florida State and Clemson, this week. From there, Alabama and Florida meet the per-conference max of two teams in the BCS.
That leaves Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M and South Carolina with 10 wins each. The Aggies are the most attractive with gee-whiz quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was likely to get invited to the Heisman Trophy ceremony even before leading candidate Collin Klein threw three interceptions against Baylor.
With first choice, the Capital One Bowl would go for A&M and Aggie fans would flock to Orlando.
The Cotton Bowl has first preference from the Western Division so LSU plays in Arlington. Georgia and South Carolina fill up Tampa and Atlanta. The SEC has five other bowl ties and only Vanderbilt and Mississippi State are eligible.
The Sun Belt will be among the conferences happy to fill in the blanks.

LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DermTech, Inc., the global leader in non-invasive molecular dermatology, announced today the appointment of Dr. Stevan Knezevich to its Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Knezevich is Board Certified in Dermatopathology, Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology. He is a leader in the field of dermatopathology with a PhD in Pathology and Laboratory Medicine from the University of Vancouver, B.C., and an MD from the University of Toronto. Dr. Knezevich completed his Pathology Residency and Surgical Fellowship at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, and his Dermatopathology Fellowship at Stanford. Dr. Knezevich is a very well published author of numerous articles including on skin pathology interpretation and accuracy, specifically in the area of melanocytic lesions.
"We are excited to have Dr. Knezevich join DermTech's Scientific Advisory Board to provide guidance on our melanoma products that help clinicians with biopsy decisions and non-invasive efforts to rule out melanoma more effectively. Dr. Knezevich played an integral part in recent landmark studies on the performance of dermatopathologists interpreting melanocytic lesions," said Dr. Burkhard Jansen, DermTech's Chief Medical Officer. "The performance of dermatopathology, the current care standard for ruling out melanoma, is hampered by the inherent limitations and subjectivity of image recognition. Even the best dermatopathologist cannot see and describe early molecular changes that do not have morphological correlates yet. Additional tools are needed to reduce subjectivity and improve pigmented lesion management and patient care," added Dr. Knezevich.


Combining case studies with normative theory, this book analyzes the democratic credentials of transnational actors participating in global governance, ranging from corporations and philanthropic foundations to NGOs and social movements. This leads to innovative interpretations of democratic legitimacy in a transnational context.

Abstract: The diversity of culturable soil bacteria from the Cerrado biome in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil was evaluated. Soil samples were collected from the regions of Passos, Arcos and Luminárias during the rainy and dry seasons. Distinct bacterial morphotypes were isolated by culturing in Nutrient Agar (NA), Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) and NA, pH 4.5. The isolates were first grouped based on their morphological and biochemical characterization, then characterized by Repetitive Extragenic Palindromic-Polymerase Chain Reaction (REP-PCR) and finally identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Thirteen bacterial genera (Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Hafnia, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Staphylococcus, Streptomyces, Rhizobium, Rummeliibacillus, Enterobacter and Microbacterium) and the distinct species belonging to these genera were identified. The presence of 39 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) during the rainy season and 30 OTUs during the dry season was observed. The Shannon index (H') and Simpson index (D) for each region were compared, with simultaneous consideration of both the rainy and dry seasons. This is the first report of changes in the diversity of culturable bacterial using ecological indicators from the three study regions as a function of seasonal conditions. This suggests that culturable bacterial in Brazilian Cerrado soils may represent a vast unexplored resource for biotechnology.

Over 30 birders met at Teal Pond this cool Saturday morning, greeted surprisingly by a beautiful sunrise since fog had blanketed the Missouri River.  First of the season Hooded Mergansers, three males, were spotted as the group gathered.  We drove first to Heron Pond to see the early Trumpeter Swans, having arrived a few weeks before their previous arrival dates.   Four were in Ellis Bay as were a flock of Dunlin, a few Least Sandpipers, a number of Killdeer still vocalizing loudly, American White Pelican, and an immature Bald Eagle.  Behind us in the marsh, Sparrows were calling and hopping up on bare bushes begging to be seen.  In beautiful lighting, we got great looks at Song, Swamp, Savannah, White-crowned, White-throated, American Goldfinch, and even a lone House Sparrow for nice comparison studies of their field marks.  As we watched the sparrows, a noisy flock of Greater White-fronted Geese flew over us, landing in Heron Pond.  We spot a Canvasback, Ring-necked Ducks, Lesser Scaup, and many Mallards swimming with them.
Over the grasses, at least five Northern Harriers were seen at the same time including a male.
After a visit to the Audubon Center, we returned to Ellis Bay to sort through a raft of ducks and were excitedly waved down by other birders, including Matt and Bill Rowe, who had identified a Red-necked Phalarope near the Riverlands entrance.  We later find out that this was only the second November record of this species in Missouri, coincidentally the first was 11/3/1968.  A life bird for many, we took turns following his busy activity with scopes, getting quick looks when he landed.  At one point, the phalarope was chased and harassed by a few Bonaparte's Gulls.  The raft included two American Black Ducks, Lesser Scaup, and Northern Shovelers. As the group dispersed, a few saw two Franklin's Gulls.  Unfortunately, the only Loon seen was a Common Loon before the group gathered.
Many more field trips are scheduled this season, but this was certainly a good start to the Winter!  Thanks to all that joined us and to the veteran birders that helped with spotting and shared their scopes.

Plaintiff Narrowly Avoids Dismissal in Data Breach Case Based on Finding that PII Could Have Value
Published On April 20, 2011 | By Jake Sommer | Data Security, Litigation, Privacy
The Northern District of California denied Defendant RockYou, Inc.'s motion to dismiss in Claridge v. RockYou, Inc., No. C 09-6032 PJH, making this data-breach case one of the firsts to proceed beyond discovery. In Claridge, the Plaintiff brought suit alleging that the defendant had failed to secure and safeguard personally identifiable information ("PII"), including email addresses, passwords and login credentials for social networks.
RockYou creates applications for use on social networking sites used to share photos or play games with others. Claridge was an account holder with RockYou, and had submitted his e-mail address and password to use RockYou's photo sharing application. The complaint alleges that, in late 2009, a security firm notified RockYou of a security problem with its SQL database, and that a hacker could compromise their database through a SQL injection flaw. Prior to fixing the flaw and prior to being warned, a hacker accessed RockYou's database and copied the unencrypted email and social networking login credentials of approximately 32 million registered RockYou users.
The Court first addressed standing, a roadblock that has stopped many a data breach lawsuit, and found that the Plaintiffs' admittedly "novel" damages theory was sufficient to demonstrate the necessary "injury in fact." Plaintiff argued that PII constitutes "valuable property that is exchanged not only for defendant's products and services, but also in exchange for RockYou's promise to employ commercially reasonable methods to safeguard PII that is exchanged." As a result of the breach, Plaintiff allegedly lost "the 'value' of their PII, in the form of their breached personal data." The Court accepted this theory, but notably expressed its skepticism, stating that "the court has doubts about plaintiff's ultimate ability to prove his damages theory in this case…"
The Court went on to dismiss all of Plaintiffs claims except those for breach of contract and breach of implied contract and negligence and granted Plaintiffs leave to amend their SCA claim. Specifically, the Court again noted its skepticism about Plaintiff's loss by dismissing his claims under California's Unfair Competition Law, stating that the injury traceable to loss of PII "strains the acceptable boundaries of 'injury' under the statute" because PII is neither "currency" nor "property" that was "lost" under the UCL because the PII—login and password—did not "cease to belong to him, or pass beyond his control."
While this ruling is troubling for companies that experience data breaches of PII because it allows plaintiffs' claims to survive through discovery, the opinion demonstrates that proving damages will ultimately remain difficult for plaintiffs, and the claims they may bring for loss of PII are limited.

Q: MVC 5 Web API with Facebook access token to RegisterExternal without need of Cookie Setup:
New MVC5 Project with just Web API. Added Facebook AppId and Secret.
I can get Token for my Web API from Token endpoint by passing in UserName and Password. Then use that token for further calls.
BUT
I want to register new users with the help of Facebook SDK in iOS app.
I am using Facebook SDK to get Access Token. (Assume at this point, I have an Access Token).
Next thing I know is to call api/Account/RegisterExternal endpoint by passing this token in Authorization header with Bearer [Access Token] but this result in 500 server error.
I guess I know the reason, Cookie is missing. I made the same call with a cookie from Fidler and it worked. (Cookie is received by going to URL provided by ExternalLogins endpoint).
As cookie is missing await Authentication.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync(); inside the RegisterExternal action returns null.
// POST api/Account/RegisterExternal
[OverrideAuthentication]
[HostAuthentication(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalBearer)]
[Route("RegisterExternal")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> RegisterExternal(RegisterExternalBindingModel model)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return BadRequest(ModelState);
    }

    var info = await Authentication.GetExternalLoginInfoAsync();
    if (info == null)
    {
        return InternalServerError();
    }

    var user = new ApplicationUser() { UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };

    IdentityResult result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user);
    if (!result.Succeeded)
    {
        return GetErrorResult(result);
    }

    result = await UserManager.AddLoginAsync(user.Id, info.Login);
    if (!result.Succeeded)
    {
        return GetErrorResult(result);
    }
    return Ok();
}

I don't want to make 3 calls to my Web API to ask for external logins and then goto that URL and authenticate in a Web Browser for Facebook access token and then call the RegisterExternal endpoint with that access token and Cookie that I need to collect between these calls.
As I said I didn't change anything in template except the Facebook Ids. Still the code is as below.
public partial class Startup
{
    public static OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions OAuthOptions { get; private set; }

    public static string PublicClientId { get; private set; }

    // For more information on configuring authentication, please visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301864
    public void ConfigureAuth(IAppBuilder app)
    {
        // Configure the db context and user manager to use a single instance per request
        app.CreatePerOwinContext(ApplicationDbContext.Create);
        app.CreatePerOwinContext<ApplicationUserManager>(ApplicationUserManager.Create);

        // Enable the application to use a cookie to store information for the signed in user
        // and to use a cookie to temporarily store information about a user logging in with a third party login provider
        app.UseExternalSignInCookie(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);

        // Configure the application for OAuth based flow
        PublicClientId = "self";
        OAuthOptions = new OAuthAuthorizationServerOptions
        {
            TokenEndpointPath = new PathString("/Token"),
            Provider = new ApplicationOAuthProvider(PublicClientId),
            AuthorizeEndpointPath = new PathString("/api/Account/ExternalLogin"),
            AccessTokenExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(14),
            AllowInsecureHttp = true
        };

        // Enable the application to use bearer tokens to authenticate users
        app.UseOAuthBearerTokens(OAuthOptions);

        app.UseFacebookAuthentication(
            appId: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
            appSecret: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");
    }
}

as far as I know, Web API doesn't need Cookie and that appears true when I have Local Token from Token endpoint but why does it require Cookie in the first place when doing ExternalRegister
WebApiConfig class looks like this and shouldn't config.SuppressDefaultHostAuthentication(); avoid any Cookie needs
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // Web API configuration and services
        // Configure Web API to use only bearer token authentication.
        config.SuppressDefaultHostAuthentication();
        config.Filters.Add(new HostAuthenticationFilter(OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType));

        // Web API routes
        config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

        config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "DefaultApi",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );
    }
}

I don't know if I am missing the point here.. My intentions are to not need to use web browser in a native iOS app for the token. That is Facebook SDK to get access token and using that call RegisterExternal to get the Local Token and create that users Identity.
I did my homework and I am stuck on this thought.
Thoughts appreciated!

A: I was mistaken that it accepts the Social Token with cookie!
It doesn't accept any External Token directly.
The thing is.. MVC 5 is taking care of everything for us, i.e. collecting token from Social Medias and validating/processing it. After that it generates a local token.
The RegisterExternal method also requires cookies to be maintained, the solution does not.
I have written a blog post which will explain in detail. Added the straight forward answer below. I aimed to make it blend and feel integral part of Login/Signup flow of default MVC Web API to make sure its easy to understand.
After the below solution, Authorize attribute must be as below to work or you will get Unauthorized response.
[Authorize]
[HostAuthentication(Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalBearer)]
[HostAuthentication(Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie)]

Use ExternalBearer if you want to allow only Tokens to use API, use ApplicationCookie if you want to allow only Logged cookie to use API i.e. from a website. User both if you want to allow the API for both.
Add this action to AccountController.cs
// POST api/Account/RegisterExternalToken
[OverrideAuthentication]
[AllowAnonymous]
[Route("RegisterExternalToken")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> RegisterExternalToken(RegisterExternalTokenBindingModel model)
{
    if (!ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        return BadRequest(ModelState);
    }

    ExternalLoginData externalLogin = await ExternalLoginData.FromToken(model.Provider, model.Token);

    if (externalLogin == null)
    {
        return InternalServerError();
    }

    if (externalLogin.LoginProvider != model.Provider)
    {
        Authentication.SignOut(DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ExternalCookie);
        return InternalServerError();
    }

    ApplicationUser user = await UserManager.FindAsync(new UserLoginInfo(externalLogin.LoginProvider,
        externalLogin.ProviderKey));

    bool hasRegistered = user != null;
    ClaimsIdentity identity = null;
    IdentityResult result;

    if (hasRegistered)
    {
        identity = await UserManager.CreateIdentityAsync(user, OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType);
        IEnumerable<Claim> claims = externalLogin.GetClaims();
        identity.AddClaims(claims);
        Authentication.SignIn(identity);
    }
    else
    {
        user = new ApplicationUser() { Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), UserName = model.Email, Email = model.Email };

        result = await UserManager.CreateAsync(user);
        if (!result.Succeeded)
        {
            return GetErrorResult(result);
        }

        var info = new ExternalLoginInfo()
        {
            DefaultUserName = model.Email,
            Login = new UserLoginInfo(model.Provider, externalLogin.ProviderKey)
        };

        result = await UserManager.AddLoginAsync(user.Id, info.Login);
        if (!result.Succeeded)
        {
            return GetErrorResult(result);
        }

        identity = await UserManager.CreateIdentityAsync(user, OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType);
        IEnumerable<Claim> claims = externalLogin.GetClaims();
        identity.AddClaims(claims);
        Authentication.SignIn(identity);
    }

    AuthenticationTicket ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(identity, new AuthenticationProperties());
    var currentUtc = new Microsoft.Owin.Infrastructure.SystemClock().UtcNow;
    ticket.Properties.IssuedUtc = currentUtc;
    ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc = currentUtc.Add(TimeSpan.FromDays(365));
    var accessToken = Startup.OAuthOptions.AccessTokenFormat.Protect(ticket);
    Request.Headers.Authorization = new System.Net.Http.Headers.AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", accessToken);

    // Create the response building a JSON object that mimics exactly the one issued by the default /Token endpoint
    JObject token = new JObject(
        new JProperty("userName", user.UserName),
        new JProperty("id", user.Id),
        new JProperty("access_token", accessToken),
        new JProperty("token_type", "bearer"),
        new JProperty("expires_in", TimeSpan.FromDays(365).TotalSeconds.ToString()),
        new JProperty(".issued", currentUtc.ToString("ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH':'mm':'ss 'GMT'")),
        new JProperty(".expires", currentUtc.Add(TimeSpan.FromDays(365)).ToString("ddd, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss 'GMT'"))
    );
    return Ok(token);
}

Add this helper method to ExternalLoginData class in helper region in AccountController.cs
public static async Task<ExternalLoginData> FromToken(string provider, string accessToken)
{
    string verifyTokenEndPoint = "", verifyAppEndpoint = "";

    if (provider == "Facebook")
    {
        verifyTokenEndPoint = string.Format("https://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token={0}", accessToken);
        verifyAppEndpoint = string.Format("https://graph.facebook.com/app?access_token={0}", accessToken);
    }
    else if (provider == "Google")
    {
        return null; // not implemented yet
        //verifyTokenEndPoint = string.Format("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token={0}", accessToken);
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }

    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    Uri uri = new Uri(verifyTokenEndPoint);
    HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
    ClaimsIdentity identity = null;
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        string content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        dynamic iObj = (Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);

        uri = new Uri(verifyAppEndpoint);
        response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
        content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        dynamic appObj = (Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject)Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(content);

        identity = new ClaimsIdentity(OAuthDefaults.AuthenticationType);

        if (provider == "Facebook")
        {
            if (appObj["id"] != Startup.facebookAuthOptions.AppId)
            {
                return null;
            }

            identity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, iObj["id"].ToString(), ClaimValueTypes.String, "Facebook", "Facebook"));

        }
        else if (provider == "Google")
        {
            //not implemented yet
        }
    }

    if (identity == null)
        return null;

    Claim providerKeyClaim = identity.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);

    if (providerKeyClaim == null || String.IsNullOrEmpty(providerKeyClaim.Issuer) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(providerKeyClaim.Value))
        return null;

    if (providerKeyClaim.Issuer == ClaimsIdentity.DefaultIssuer)
        return null;

    return new ExternalLoginData
    {
        LoginProvider = providerKeyClaim.Issuer,
        ProviderKey = providerKeyClaim.Value,
        UserName = identity.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.Name)
    };
}

and finally, the RegisterExternalTokenBindingModel being used by the action.
public class RegisterExternalTokenBindingModel
{
    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Token")]
    public string Token { get; set; }

    [Required]
    [Display(Name = "Provider")]
    public string Provider { get; set; }
}

Yes, we pass the email along with Token details while registering, this will not cause you to change the code when using Twitter, as Twitter doesn't provide users email. We verify token comes from our app. Once email registered, hacked or somebody else's token cannot be used to change email or get a local token for that email as it will always return the local token for the actual user of the Social Token passed regardless of the email sent.
RegisterExternalToken endpoint works to get token in both ways i.e. register the user and send the Local token or if the user already registered then send the token.

A: Before everything, this is NOT A FULL Answer, this is just a note or an addition for the answer to avoid some problems which could cost you handful of days (in my case 3 days)
The previous answer is the full answer it just lacks from one thing, which is the following:
if you specified a role for the Authorize attribute, for example [Authorize("UserRole")] , the previous setup will still give you 401 error because the solution does not set the RoleClaim
and to solve this problem you have to add this line of code to the RegisterExternalToken method
oAuthIdentity.AddClaim(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, "UserRole"));

Riverside County Sheriff's Department Centralizes Massive Data on Qumulo to Protect the Public and See Deputies Safely Home
Qumulo makes investigation data and trends information available in real-time to help detectives and deputies accelerate investigations and improve public safety.
Like all modern law enforcement agencies, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department (RCSD) runs on data. Data sources range from external databases like the FBI's fingerprint and DNA databases, to investigative bureaus that run the gamut of crime investigation and prevention, to internal data management systems.
This level of data collection and interaction generates huge, fast-growing data sets. The RCSD turned to Qumulo for a centralized system that was easy to manage, dynamically scalable to support massive and growing capacity, and could easily serve up relevant data to multiple end-users and applications.
The RCSD also looked to Qumulo to help with its main technology mission: use law enforcement data to protect the public and see their deputies safely home. Qumulo was proud to help.
Riverside County covers over 7,300 square miles, which makes it the fourth largest county in California. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department has a staff of nearly 4,000 law enforcement professionals and support personnel dedicated to protecting public safety throughout Riverside County. The RCSD is the second largest sheriff's department and third largest police agency in California.
The RCSD's internal IT team manages the law enforcement technology that helps keep all 4,000 employees safe.
"When our deputies stay safe, they can keep the public safe. Our technology helps to ensure their safety and makes a hard job easier." (David Emery, Supervising Systems Administrator, Riverside County Sheriff's Department)
That technology includes protecting and enabling massive amounts of data from multiple departments, locations, and functions. But with its legacy SAN and NAS systems hitting capacity thresholds, IT needed a new technology to carry out that mission.
IT needed a solution that would also provide a centralized data location for multiple workloads to support day-to-day operations. The workloads included field and 911 dispatch systems, records management, the jail management system, and data from body-worn cameras, investigations, and video security systems. RCSD's existing backup storage solution had gone end-of-life, and its all-flash environment was too expensive to consolidate both production and backup data onto it.
The IT team looked at several replacement options, including Cohesity and SAN solutions, but these couldn't meet the single data platform requirements for production GIS and video surveillance data along with archive and VM backup storage. Data analytics was also an important consideration.
"We met with Qumulo and a number of other vendors. Data analytics was important to us, and we were surprised that the other solutions didn't provide the depth of Qumulo's analytics. We didn't even know that some of these tools existed. Once we saw the powerful scope of Qumulo's analytics, we wanted those features." (David Emery)
When IT got to the general pricing stage, they were even more surprised. Qumulo offered its advanced feature set at a significantly lower price than the other vendors — and significantly lower than what IT had budgeted for.
The Remedy: Consolidating on a File Data Platform
Both the installation and the initial data migration to Qumulo was smooth. RCSD moved file data from both IT and the Specialized Investigations Bureaus, which included a broad spectrum of case files from Robbery/Homicide to Forensics to the Gang Intelligence Unit. These case files include text, video, and digitized content with permanent retention requirements. The two migrations totaled about 50TB on the 146TB system.
When the RCSD started its search for a more modern data platform, it needed real-time analytics to help provide decision-making insights. For example, the IT team keeps yearly crime trending statistics so the RCSD knows where to apply its resources.
"Accurate and real-time trending information improves decisions, which saves lives." (David Emery)
Analytics also enables the IT team to optimize the Qumulo system for the best performance and visibility.
"Moving from no analytics on the legacy systems to rich analytics on Qumulo has been a game-changer. All the events, file copies, moves, and creates were hard-to-impossible to see before. Now that we have that kind of information available to us, we are able to improve our day-to-day operations and better plan for the future." (David Emery)
Radical Simplicity and Extreme Scalability
Investigative data contains large, rich media files that do not compress well. As recording resolutions grow, these files get larger and larger. Having the ability to use SSD cache for performance, coupled with lower cost disk for long-term retention, was a requirement for RCSD. Qumulo's software-driven system intelligence and seamless cluster architecture sweeps all this complexity under the covers, delivering the benefit of each storage technology but with simple and automated system management.
Although the RCSD is not yet in the cloud, the cloud will likely be a future option or requirement. Since Qumulo also runs natively in the cloud and can provide the data management between locations, it gives the IT team the flexibility to move workloads securely and efficiently when the time comes.
"Flexibility is key for us. Qumulo gives us the flexibility to grow quickly with little or no impact to the users. This is something we never had with our legacy systems, and it's going to be a huge benefit moving forward." (David Emery)
Cost-Effective Performance and Data Management
The RCSD's original SAN replacement plan was to buy another costly SAN. But purchase prices were premium, and future growth was expensive. The IT team had to forecast capacity and growth in yearly increments to create a workable budget.
Qumulo allowed the IT team to shrink its forecasted budgets because of Qumulo's easy scalability and low costs.
Over the next few months, IT will migrate the remaining data from each of its 40 physical locations to the centralized Qumulo file data platform. And in 2021, three major application upgrades that will go live and create even more data. The new dispatch applications used by deputies and 911 dispatchers, records management systems that store data from the field and county jails, and the county jail management system will all leverage Qumulo. The IT team will be able to efficiently send this massive amount of data to the centralized Qumulo without capacity or performance worries.
"Deploying Qumulo was a no-brainer. It solved every issue we had at a lower cost than we expected and delivered features that no one else could provide. Needless to say, it was an easy decision." (David Emery)
Key Qumulo Benefits
Real-time analytics are used to identify trending data from the field and allow deputies to safely respond to changing circumstances.
Simplicity allows IT to seamlessly grow Qumulo clusters and easily use the same file data platform to serve multiple workloads.
Cost savings, driven by Qumulo's low cost per terabyte, enabled IT to deploy triple the capacity at the same budgeted price.

Hepa Air Purifier
New 'smart' purifiers are being deployed in Israel and elsewhere
Oct 10, 2021 Our research
An Israeli developer is developing a smart water purifying system that allows users to switch between clean and dirty water sources without worrying about which one is actually clean.
The system, called the Pusher, is being deployed to thousands of Israelis in the countrys biggest cities and towns.
It uses an advanced device to monitor and monitor water level, and displays a map of the city.
The Pusher can be programmed to switch to clean water, or vice versa, depending on the conditions.
It was developed by Israeli software developer Rami Al-Moussawi, who is also known for creating the world's first solar-powered water purifiers.
"Water purification is a human rights issue in Israel, and we are very sensitive to that," said Al-Omar, who founded the Israeli water purification company Rami, which is owned by the government.
"The water purger is not a device that can be used on a human scale."
The Israeli company developed the PushingPusher in partnership with the Israeli Ministry of Water.
The company has developed the water purifing technology in collaboration with Israeli research institutions.
"It's a really simple device that uses sensors that measure water level and a device to switch it on and off," Al-Moosawi said.
"I built the device myself, but I'm also in the process of building it with the help of scientists from Israel."
A water purging device in use.
A water purificator is a device used to measure the water level in an area, and automatically switches on and on a water purifyr in order to provide clean water to residents.
The Pusher uses a sensor that measures the water levels in an apartment building.
The sensor is connected to an electronic board that can monitor the water supply, and switch the purifier on or off based on the current level.
The water levels of residents in a residential building can be monitored using a camera mounted on the front of the device.
The device is also equipped with a timer, which can automatically turn off the water in the purifying unit if the water meter shows a lower level of the water.
In the case of an emergency, the device can automatically switch to the clean water.
The smart water systems can be connected to the internet to ensure that users are connected to a water supply and not a sewage system, according to the company.

Al-MOosawi told The Jerusalem Report that the Pushed water purifies water in a number of other places, including an office building, a hospital and schools.
"We hope that people will adopt the Pushes and we will be able to distribute it to a lot of cities and the whole countrys infrastructure," he said.
"The Pushed is the first time that a smart device is being developed for this purpose, and the Pushers are being used to water clean drinking water, to water treatment and sewage treatment," he added.

What changes do I need to make to generate C++?
At a very simple level, you need to set the option 'language' at file level in each of your .g files. Then run the Java antlr.Tool class as normal.
Additionally, you need to ensure that your action code is valid C++ rather than Java. There are a number of changes which this entails.
The C++ code uses reference counted classes for Tokens and ASTs (to make up for the lack of garbage collection), and you access the actual Token (or AST) by deferencing the RefToken (or RefAST) as if it were a pointer.

Pathfinder is nearing completion of checkout and testing
Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) announced that the checkout and testing of the company's three, formation-flying smallsats that were built by SFL under a contract to Deep Space Industries (now integrated into Bradford Space for HawkEye 360 Inc) is now underway.
The smallsats were launched last year into LEO on December 3, 2018, from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
The HawkEye 360 Pathfinder smallsats will detect and geolocate radio frequency (RF) signals from VHF radios, maritime radar systems, automatic identification system (AIS) beacons, VSAT terminals and emergency beacons. HawkEye 360 will apply advanced RF analytics to this data to help customers assess suspicious vessel activity, survey communication frequency interference, and search for people in distress.
SFL was selected for the mission by Deep Space Industries, the HawkEye 360 Pathfinder prime contractor, due to the importance of formation flying by multiple satellites for successful RF signal geolocation and analysis. SFL first demonstrated on orbit formation control with smaller satellites in the 2014 with the Canadian CanX-4/CanX-5 mission.
SFL built the three Pathfinder satellites using its space-tested 15 kg. NEMO smallsat bus and incorporated several technologies that make on orbit formation flying possible.
Most prominent of these is the high-performance attitude control system developed by SFL to keep smallsats stable in orbit. Included in the formation flying system are a GPS receiver and a high efficiency Comet-1 propulsion unit developed by
Deep Space Industries.
Precise formation flying is critical to the HawkEye 360 RF system because the relative positions of each satellite in the constellation must be known to accurately geolocate the transmission sources of the radio frequency signals.
For the triangulation to be calculated correctly, each satellite must be located with sufficient precision in space and also be relative to one another.
John Serafini, the CEO of HawkEye 360, said this is the first time a commercial company has used formation-flying satellites for RF detection.
SFL Director Dr. Robert E. Zee added that the company has developed compact, low-cost formation flying technology that no other small satellite developer can credibly offer.
By leveraging SFL's highly successful formation flying technology demonstrated on orbit, along with DSI's pioneering innovations and next-generation propulsion systems, the mission will deliver unparalleled performance in smaller, affordable satellites
Chris DeMay, the HawkEye 360 CTO and Founder, noted that the core of the firm's business is RF analytics, which is dependent upon high-quality, geolocated RF data.

Hera mission now includes smallsats
When ESA's planned Hera mission journeys to its target binary asteroid system, it will not be alone.
ESA's Hera mission artistic concept, currently under study,
would be humanity's first mission to a binary asteroid: the 800
m-diameter Didymos is accompanied by a 170 m-diameter
secondary body. Hera will study the aftermath of the impact
caused by the NASA spacecraft DART on the smaller body.

The spacecraft will carry two tiny CubeSats for deployment around — and eventual landing on — the Didymos asteroids. Each companion spacecraft will be small enough to fit inside a briefcase, as compared to the desk-sized Hera.
Hera has room to deliver two 'six-unit' smallsat missions to the Didymos asteroid system — a 780 meter-diameter, mountain-sized main body that is orbited by a 160 meter moon, informally called 'Didymoon,' about the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Hera mission received proposals for CubeSats from across Europe and an evaluation board has now made the final selection.
The first CubeSat companion is called the Asteroid Prospection Explorer (APEX), and was developed by a Swedish/Finnish/Czech/German consortium. It will perform detailed spectral measurements of both asteroids' surfaces — measuring the sunlight reflected by Didymos and breaking down its various colors to discover how these asteroids have interacted with the space environment, pinpointing any differences in composition between the two.
In addition, APEX will make magnetic readings that will give insight into their interior structure of these bodies. Guided by a navigation camera and a 'laser radar' (lidar) instrument, APEX will also make a landing on one of the asteroids, gathering valuable data in the process using inertial sensors, and going on to perform close-up observations of the asteroid's surface material.
The other CubeSat is called Juventas, developed by Danish company GomSpace and GMV in Romania, and will measure the gravity field as well as the internal structure of the smaller of the two Didymos asteroids.

mission to the Didymos

pace Physics.
In close orbit around Didymoon, Juventas will line up with Hera to perform satellite-to-satellite radio-science experiments and carry out a low-frequency radar survey of the asteroid interior, similar to performing a detailed 'X-ray scan' of Didymoon to unveil its interior.
The adventure will end with a landing, using the dynamics of any likely bouncing to capture details of the asteroid's surface material — followed by several days of surface operations.
Hera is set to be humankind's first mission to a binary asteroid system. As well as testing technologies in deep space and gathering crucial science data, Hera is designed to be Europe's contribution to an international planetary defense effort: it would survey the crater and measure orbital deviation of Didymoon caused by the earlier collision of a NASA probe, called DART. This unique experiment will validate the asteroid deflection technique referred to as kinetic impactor, enabling humankind to protect our planet from asteroid impacts.

Next, the two CubeSats will have their designs refined and interfaces with their mothership finalized, in line with continuing design work on the Hera mission itself, which will be presented to ESA's Space19+ meeting towards the end of this year, where Europe's space ministers will take a final decision on flying the mission.
Hera manager Ian Carnelli explained that the company is very happy to have these high-quality CubeSat missions join with the firm to perform additional bonus science alongside their Hera mothership. Carrying added instruments and venturing much closer to the target bodies, they will give different perspectives and complementary investigations on this exotic binary asteroid. They will also give the company valuable experience of close proximity operations relayed by the Hera mothercraft in extreme low-gravity conditions. This will be very valuable to many future missions.
Paolo Martino, Hera spacecraft lead engineer, added that the idea of building CubeSats for deep space is relatively new, but was recently validated by NASA's InSight landing on Mars last November, when a pair of accompanying CubeSats succeeded in relaying the lander's radio signals back to Earth — as well as returning imagery of the Red Planet.

Arianespace to launch EyeSat + ANGELS to space for CNES
Arianespace and the French CNES have signed a launch services contract for the EyeSat smallsat, an astronomy mission that will study zodiacal light as well as image the Milky Way.

of CNES.
EyeSat is a triple CubeSat-sized smallsat that is designed to study the zodiacal light and image the Milky Way and has three main objectives:
• Scientific, by observing the zodiacal light in the visible bandwidth, in both polarized and non-polarized modes; and taking a thorough – and global image – of the Milky Way in color
• To demonstrate new satellite technologies. These technologies were developed through research efforts by CNES, and are considered sufficiently mature to be incorporated on EyeSat
• To train students in space engineering professions.
The EyeSat smallsat is being financed and developed by the French CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) space agency within the scope of the Janus project (Jeunes en Apprentissage pour la réalisation de Nanosatellites des Universités et des écoles de l'enseignement Supérieur), designed to encourage students in universities and engineering schools to develop their own smallsats.
EyeSat will be launched in 2019 as an auxiliary payload with the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG 1) and CHEOPS satellites from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) aboard a Soyuz launcher.
The smallsat is in the form of a triple (3U) CubeSat and is fitted with an instrument called IRIS, which is a small space telescope.
The smallsat will have a mass at liftoff of approximately 8 kg. and will be placed in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) at an altitude of about 500 km.
Following the contract signature, Marie-Anne Claire, Director of Orbital Systems at CNES, said: "Thanks to the EyeSat triple CubeSat, CNES will be able to test in orbit a dozen new miniaturized technologies developed through our research and technology program. We also helped train more than 250 students in space engineering professions. CNES is very pleased that EyeSat will be orbited by Arianespace from the Guiana Space Center."
Stéphane Israël, Chief Executive Officer of Arianespace, added, "Arianespace is honored to have been chosen by CNES to launch the EyeSat triple CubeSat dedicated to science. Once again we have proven our ability to guarantee independent and competitive access to space for Europe, encompassing satellites of all sizes, thanks to our flexible service offering and our versatile family
of launchers."
There's more... the EyeSat contract for Arianespace is not the only business move the firms have signed... a launch contract for the first smallsat completely built by French industry, called ANGELS (ARGOS Néo on a Generic Economical and Light Satellite), will also be launched by Arianespace.
ANGELS will be launched as an auxiliary payload with the COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation (CSG 1) and CHEOPS satellites by a Soyuz rocket in 2019 from the Guiana Space Center, Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana (South America).
This mission is jointly financed and developed by the French CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) space agency and NEXEYA (www.nexeya.com), an innovative industrial group active in the aerospace, defense, energy, rail and automotive markets.
The satellite will be fitted with a miniaturized ARGOS Néo instrument, which is 10-times smaller than the equivalent previous-generation device.
The instrument collects and determines the position of low-power signals and messages sent by the 20,000 ARGOS beacons now in service worldwide.
Two project teams — CNES and NEXEYA for ANGELS, and CNES, Thales Alenia Space and Syrlinks for ARGOS Néo — are working together on this French space project.
The ANGELS smallsat will have a liftoff mass of approximately 30 kg. at launch, including its separation device, and will be positioned in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) at an altitude of more than 500 km.
Marie-Anne Clair, CNES Director of Orbital Systems,said that CNES has been committed to miniaturizing satellites for a number of years, in particular through the Proteus mini-satellite and Myriade micro-satellite programs. ANGELS pursues and amplifies this initiative, by paving the way for French industry to build operational nanosatellites within the NewSpace environment.
Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace, added that Arianespace is proud of winning this new contract from CNES to launch ANGELS. Against the backdrop of a dynamic small satellite market, this first nanosatellite from French industry reflects the availability of Arianespace's services and its ability to adapt to the needs of the market.
