NetWare

NetWare is a computer network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used cooperative multitasking to run various services on a personal computer, using the IPX network protocol. The final update release was version 6.5SP8 of May 2009; Netware is no longer on Novell's product list. NetWare 6.5SP8 General Support ended in 2010, with Extended Support until the end of 2015, and Self Support until the end of 2017. The replacement is Open Enterprise Server.

The original NetWare product in 1983, supported clients running both CP/M and MS-DOS, ran over a proprietary star network topology and was based on a Novell-built file server using the Motorola 68000 processor, but the company soon moved away from building its own hardware, and NetWare became hardware-independent, running on any suitable Intel-based IBM PC compatible system, and a wide range of network cards. From the beginning NetWare implemented a number of features inspired by mainframe and minicomputer systems that were not available in its competitors.

VLM (rocket)

The VLM (Veículo Lançador de Microssatélites) is a proposed Brazilian satellite launcher. The project originated as a simplified version of the VLS-1 rocket, using only the core stages.

Currently, a version based on the S50 rocket engine is being studied, with the objective of orbiting satellites up to 150 kg in circular orbits ranging from 250 to 700 km.

It will be a three-stage rocket, expected to launch the SHEFEX III mission by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in 2016.

Proposed flights

Configuration

Original VLS-1 derived

Initially, a four solid fuel rocket stages configuration was proposed, arranged in the following order:

Stage 1 - S-43 rocket engine

Stage 2 - S-40TM rocket engine

Stage 3 - S-44 rocket engine

Stage 4 - S-33 rocket engine

This configuration is related to the proposed VS-43 sounding rocket.

Current proposal (VLM-1)

Currently, the first two stages will use the new S50 12 tonnes solid fuel engine, with the third using the same S-44 engine as in the VS-40 sounding rocket. This configuration is related to the proposed VS-50 sounding rocket and known as VLM-1:
