... aspects of the design process are examined. Future plans are then presented for a new short duration (2.2 sec) ground-based reduced gravity drop tower. The new drop tower has ...

Yes, there are lots of spaceships being built right now to provide the short up and down (sub-orbital) trips. Also, people have started to design spaceships for orbital ...

If there is a permanent manned base at a great distance from Earth— on Mars, for example—the spacecraft traffic will be determined by the requirement for supplies—at least until the base could become self-sufficient by mining materials from the planet's atmosphere and surface (although this is not an option for bases in orbit). In the initial stages it would be months between ...

... RCS and the reason we had the shorts on the buses, because this wiring had shorted at that umbilical. That one wire wouldn’t have shorted that much as far as the buses ... Building 45 third floor arrangement. Regarding Apollo 7 we determined there it was the AC short. Actually we determined this while the mission was still going on. We had motor switches ... . If you tripped it, which would normally be tripped if you had an overload or short circuit or something, you would switch those elements offline. Well, this lightning strike caused a ...

... may be expected, some of the interpretations of the mentioned patents were also questionable---in short, unreliable. The second reason why the survey could hardly be definitive is because patents were ... is most interesting that the author of that work, Dr. Alexander-Katz, also presented a short description of how he interpreted this class known as “Reaktionsflieger” among German aviation patents covering ...

... Lovell James A. Lovell, Jr. initially with Bill Anders William A. Anders . After a very short time, Bill decided to leave the program; and Ken Mattingly Thomas K. “Ken” Mattingly II ... the concept for the mission. '''Haise:''' Right. Each SIM simulation we conducted, no matter how short—be it a launch SIM simulation which didn’t run that long—we would stop ... time. One thing, though, just looking over the instrument panel that became very clear in short order was the fact that the pressure meter, the temperature, and the quantity meter needles ...

... VII and VIII flight vehicles, which that’s probably more correct since that was very shortly after the program that I did that interview with Ertel. '''Butler:''' I’m sure that ... JSC at the time, and Warren was interested in it. Neil Armstrong had been selected shortly after that time. Gilruth and FRC convinced, maybe not convinced but saw a mutual interest ... put that in. '''Grimm:''' I think it was Grissom and somebody else. Actually, for a short time we had L. Gordon Cooper and his crew Pete Conrad up there, this was ...

... was going to happen, I think, in February. So the training would have been very short, like three or four months, because we started training in September, early September, for a ... the principle of payload specialist training, where your specific part of Shuttle training is very short, which makes sense. And then the flight was postponed to the one, to 51-G ... well organized. That’s probably what Frank wanted to mention. When you get on a short-duration, you are “boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.” You participate to—the very, not ...

... manner that does not jeopardize the mission while maximizing crew health and performance. Long- and short-term exposure to microgravity significantly alters many organ systems. These changes in physiology may eventually ... . If intermittent gravity is sufficient, a permanently rotating spacecraft is not needed. Instead, an onboard short-radius centrifuge may present a realistic near-term opportunity for providing astronauts with artificial gravity ...
