Would you please share more details about this?

Manual for this unit is at https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0019/5952/files/Manual-RAD...

I assume 'dual-beam' is the same as dual-channel? Does the calibration technique mentioned in the manual indicate dual channel operation?

Lucky for them the satellite (Nahid-1) was not loaded at the time of the incident (which likely happened during fueling), and is in a lab ready for another launch.

alinson Ask HN: If I could add a 100MHz CPU external to a phone, what use would it have?

alinson Trader: I dream of another recession (and Goldman Sachs rules the world)

When an "analyst" comes to you and starts saying things like "if you know what to do ..." - this is the mark of a snake oil salesman. Next thing he will do is to ask you for money to learn about his "strategy". This guy is an idiot who wants to make a name for himself so he makes these kinds of statements to get attention. At this point the last thing Goldman Sachs wants is a total collapse of markets and economy.

1. Aghazadeh resigned as he had supported Mousavi in the presidential elections and had had enough of Ahamdinejad. He was replaced by the much better qualified, and very well respected Ali Akbar Salehi (MIT PhD): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Akbar_Salehi

2. Natanz is under full IAEA supervision (cameras, sampling devices, etc) and subject to frequent IAEA visits. If there was any type of an accident or radiation release, you would have heard it by now, or you will see it in the next IAEA report on Iran's nuclear activities.
