CAF Talent 3. The CAF Talent 3 is a family of railcars designed by Bombardier Transportation and produced by CAF. The first generation Talent (Talbot leichter Nahverkehrs-Triebwagen) was built in 1996 by Waggonfabrik Talbot in Aachen, Germany. In contrast to the Bombardier Talent 2, the multiple unit is not a new development, but a further development of Talent 2, to which Talent 3 is visually similar. In contrast to the second generation, the Talent 3 complies not only with German but also with European standards.

The first unit was planned to enter service in 2019, but the first runs with passengers did not start until November 2020. In November 2021, Alstom sold the design rights to the Talent 3 to CAF to comply with a European Commission directive when it took over Bombardier.

Service history
Bombardier introduced the Talent 3 at the InnoTrans trade show in September 2016. That month, ÖBB announced a preliminary agreement to purchase up to 300 sets. The agreement was formally signed, along with a firm order for the first 21 sets to be operated from a base in Vorarlberg, in December. In May 2017, ÖBB announced an order for an additional 25 sets for service in Tyrol and cross-border operation to Italy. Construction of the first Talent 3s for ÖBB began in September 17, with deliveries scheduled to begin in April 2019. In ÖBB service, they were to be designated Class 4758. Due to delays, the order was cancelled in 2021.

In March 2017, German operator Vlexx ordered 21 Talent 3 sets for operation in the states of Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate, supposed to begin operation in December 2019. Introduction of the units started to in March 2020.

Design

The Talent 3 is based on the earlier Talent and Talent 2 designs, with a wider carbody, larger doors, and a lower floor to increase capacity and improve passenger flow at station stops. Depending on the intended service pattern, the Talent 3 can be specified with either a  top speed. Talent 3 sets can vary in length based on customer requirements—ÖBB ordered six-car sets with a passenger capacity of 300, while Vlexx ordered three-car sets that carry up to 160 passengers.

In September 2018 a prototype Talent 3 capable of lithium battery operation was unveiled.

Fabian Franklin. Fabian Franklin (1853–1939) was a Hungarian-born American engineer, mathematician and journalist, husband of Christine Ladd-Franklin.

Life and work 
The Franklin family (his parents were born in Poland) migrated from Hungary to Philadelphia (United States) when Fabian Franklin was four years old and they afterwards moved to Washington, D.C. in 1861. He was educated at Columbian College (now George Washington University) where he graduated Ph.B. in 1869. Franklin worked the following seven years as surveyor and engineer for the Baltimore City Council.

When Johns Hopkins University was founded in 1876, he had the opportunity to study mathematics, his true passion. He was awarded a doctorate in 1880 and he was the assistant of James Joseph Sylvester till his return to England in 1883, applying the new calculational techniques to compute binary forms. In 1882 he married Christine Ladd-Franklin; the marriage was a marriage of equals, based on their shared concerns, both social and intellectual.  They both studied with Charles Sanders Peirce. During his short university period, some fifteen years, he published thirty papers, most of which appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics.

In 1895 he left the university to begin a new career as journalist and writer. First as editor of Baltimore News (from 1895 to 1908) and afterward as associate editor of New York Evening Post (from 1909 to 1919). He wrote some remarkable books on social, economic and political issues like Cost of living (1915), What Prohibition Has Done to America (1922) and Plain Talks on Economics: Leading Principles and Their Application to the Issues of Today (1924) among others. He collaborated in the launching of The Weekly Review (1919–1922), a journal devoted to the Consideration of Politics, of Social and Economic Tendencies, of History, Literature, and the Arts.  He also wrote a biography of the founding president of Johns Hopkins University, The Life of Daniel Coit Gilman (1910).

Zenith Star. Zenith Star was a Directed-energy weapon that started development as part of the US Strategic Defense Initiative.

It included the Alpha laser, a high energy hydrogen fluoride chemical laser, and the LAMP mirror which was a 7 segment adaptive optics mirror.

Zenith Star was never put in orbit, but the Alpha LAMP Integration (ALI) project carried out some ground-based tests.

History

The Zenith Star program was a key component of President Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), popularly known as "Star Wars," which aimed to create a space-based ballistic missile defense system. Initiated in the mid-1980s, Zenith Star represented an ambitious attempt to develop and deploy a chemical laser weapon in space.

Following SDI's establishment in 1984, the office took over directed-energy weapons research from DARPA. By 1986, with more exotic technologies like nuclear X-ray lasers still far from realization, the chemical laser became the focus for near-term deployment. In December 1986, President Reagan made a secret decision to accelerate the program, aiming for a space-based test of Zenith Star by 1990, four years earlier than originally planned.

The Zenith Star spacecraft as designed was massive, measuring 80 feet long and over 40 feet in diameter, with a weight exceeding 43 tons. It incorporated TRW's "Alpha chemical laser", a large focusing mirror, and advanced targeting systems. Construction was managed by Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Company. Despite its presidential support and very large budget, the program faced significant technical challenges, schedule delays, and funding issues. By 1989, every component was at least a year behind schedule. The end of the Cold War ultimately led to the program's apparent cancellation in the early 1990s, yet it laid the groundwork for subsequent directed-energy weapons research.

Legacy 
Around 1998 Space-Based lasers were reconsidered and led to the Space Based Laser - Integrated Flight eXperiment (SBL-IFX) project 2000-2002.
