This system will simulate the guidance control system (gcs) of a mars lander. the definition of the software requirements for the gcs project focuses on two primary needs for the software: (a) to provide guidance and engine control of the lander vehicle during its terminal phase of descent onto the planet's surface and (b) to communicate sensory information to an orbiting platform about the vehicle and its descent. the lander vehicle is to be controlled includes a guidance package containing sensors that obtain information about the vehicle state, a guidance and control computer, and actuators providing the thrust necessary for maintaining a safe descent.

two people have to answer or you have to wait a few days

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
