Awareness

Awareness is the ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects, thoughts, emotions, or sensory patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without necessarily implying understanding. More broadly, it is the state or quality of being aware of something. In biological psychology, awareness is defined as a human's or an animal's perception and cognitive reaction to a condition or event.

Concept

Awareness is a relative concept. An animal may be partially aware, may be subconsciously aware, or may be acutely unaware of an event. Awareness may be focused on an internal state, such as a visceral feeling, or on external events by way of sensory perception. Awareness provides the raw material from which animals develop qualia, or subjective ideas about their experience. Insects have awareness that you are trying to swat them or chase after them. But insects do not have consciousness in the usual sense, because they lack the brain capacity for thought and understanding.

Ty products

Ty began by producing stuffed toy cats, and has produced many stuffed animals since. The company's logo is a red heart with the lower-case letters "ty." A tag in this shape is found affixed to all Ty stuffed toys, and inside each tag is the name of the toy and a short poem (4 lines in most, but 2 lines in Beanie Boos and early Ballz).

Malargüe Station

Malargüe Station (also known as DSA 3 or Deep Space Antenna 3) is a 35-metre ESTRACK radio antenna in Argentina. It enables the European Space Agency (ESA) to communication with spacecraft in deep space. It is located 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of the town of Malargüe, Argentina. The Malargüe antenna has two sister stations, Cebreros Station, near Madrid, Spain, and New Norcia Station near New Norcia, Australia. The completion of this station will allow deep space missions to be tracked continuously.

On 7 December 2011, the station's 35 m-diameter dish antenna was hoisted into place. The operation took several hours and had to wait for a calm day with no wind. The station underwent tests in 2012 and was fully operational in 2013.

Malargüe Station was one of the stations providing communications, tracking and data download from the Rosetta spacecraft.

New Norcia Station

New Norcia Station (also known as DSA 1 or Deep Space Antenna 1) is a 35-metre ESTRACK satellite ground station for communication with spacecraft in deep space. It is located 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south of the town of New Norcia, Western Australia. It was the first ESA deep space ground station, followed by Cebreros Station and Malargüe Station.

Station operates one 35-meter dish designated NNO-1 capable of two-way transmission in both S- and X-band using 2 and 20-kilowatt transmitters. Antenna weights over 600 tonnes and is 40 meters tall. Future upgrade plans include adding a K_a-band station to support international missions.

Construction begun in April 2000 and lasted till the end of first half of 2002. Installation of electronics and communication equipment followed. The station was officially opened on 5 March 2003 by the Premier of Western Australia at the time, Dr Geoff Gallop. Total construction cost was €28 million.

New Norcia Station was one of the stations providing communications, tracking and data download from the Rosetta spacecraft. In future it's planned to support BepiColombo mission.

Cebreros Station

Cebreros Station (also known as DSA 2 or Deep Space Antenna 2) is an INTA-operated, ESTRACK radio antenna station for communication with spacecraft located about 10 km east of Cebreros and 90 km from Madrid, Spain. A 35-metre diameter antenna that receives in X- and Ka-bands is located at the site. Station code is "CEB".

It provides daily support to Venus Express and back-up to Mars Express, Rosetta and Cluster.

Two sister stations are New Norcia Station in Australia, and Malargüe Station in Argentina.
