  • J N CAR Conference Surveys Balloon Instrument Stabilization
    NCAR Conference Surveys Balloon Instrument Stabilization If a telescope or other astronomical sensor can be lifted by a balloon above much of the earth’s atmos­ phere, more detailed planetary and stellar observations u»_o of various kinds are possible than can ever be achieved HO cd from the ground. In every balloon-borne experiment of this kind, however, the problems are the same: How can an astronomical sensor find and track a pinpoint target? How can the spatial orientation of the balloon platform be controlled sufficiently to allow the delicate E "e3 pointing apparatus to do its work? A considerable number of approaches have been or are being tried to solve these questions. A recent NCAR-sponsored conference brought together scien­ tists actively engaged in balloon-borne astronomical exploration, in order to sketch an over-all picture of the state of the art, and to accelerate progress by increasing communication among them. CONFERENCE IMPRESSIONS At the conference, held in Cambridge, Massachusetts r------i I " I in late October, some general impressions of the present state of the art emerged from descriptions of various stabilization systems: —Tracking stability to within one minute of arc is well within present capabilities. —The achievement of better-than-one-second-of-arc stability represents engineering of a high order of skill. J Nevertheless, theoretical limits of stability are much higher; even the .02 second of resolution hoped for the Stratoscope II system does not approach them. —A balloon vehicle provides a platform with excellent 0 / e ) P 5 ! stability. At float altitude, pendulum motion is usually five minutes of arc, and seldom exceeds thirty minutes.

  • Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted Into the U
    Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted into the U. S. Ballooning Hall of Fame August 2, 2009 Born March 15, 1923 in St. Paul Minnesota Lucy’s interest, love and enthusiasm for flying probably began when she was eight years old when her oldest brother bought her a ride on an airplane at World Chamberlain Airport in Minneapolis. At an early age, her Dad described Lucy as a "Sparkplug". To her siblings she was "Sparky” and she still is!!! And she is definitely a “Sparkplug” in the history of ballooning. As one of the early women aeronautical engineering students at the university in Minnesota, she met Professor Jean Piccard and his balloonist wife Jeanette Piccard. Professor Piccard became one of her college professors. During her ballooning activities she flew with Tony Fairbanks in Philadelphia and met Tracy Barnes in Minneapolis and got to know such notable balloonists as Malcolm Forbes, Dewey Reinhart, Bertrand Piccard and Eddie Allen. Her Commercial Pilot, Lighter-Than-Air, Free Balloon License (limited to hot air balloons, with or without airborne heaters) is dated October 31, 1973. She received this in the early days of ballooning when all you had to do was sign your name on the license. She received her fixed wing aircraft pilot’s license when she was 40 years old, and has been around ballooning for fifty years. She was never actually a balloon pilot, but was a crew member and an observer for many years. Lucy has flown in both gas and hot air balloons. Her most spectacular flights were three that she had in Switzerland flying over the Swiss Alps and landing twice in Germany and once in Italy.

  • Spectrum Board of Curators Asked to Consider New Strategic Plan
    Spectrum Volume 27, Number 4, July 2000 Board of Curators asked to consider new strategic plan UM President Manuel Pacheco July 16 asked members of the Board of Curators for their questions and suggestions related to a new long-range Strategic Plan developed by him, the UM vice presidents and the campus chancellors. Since the completion of UM's five-year plan in June, 1997, the University has operated without a system-wide long-range plan, even though campus plans have been created and implemented. In December of that year, Pacheco appointed a Strategic Planning Steering Committee consisting of the president, the chancellors and the vice presidents. Since then, the Steering Committee "has worked diligently to formulate" a comprehensive strategic plan for the University of Missouri System, Pacheco said. In presenting the report for review and comment, Pacheco noted that, in September, he will offer a final plan for the Board's approval. (The final plan will be introduced at the Sept. 2-3 meeting of the Board in Portageville.) Pacheco noted that, also in September, he will present a Resource Plan to the Board that will be based on the planning assumptions presented on pages 23 and 24 of the draft Strategic Plan. (The draft may be found on the internet at http://www.system.missouri.edu/urel/main/second/ur/sp799.htm). The plan outlines a set of strategic objectives that can be accomplished within the next three to five years, Pacheco said, and is structured around four priorities critical to the University's success: • Student learning and achievement • Program access and quality • Research and scholarship • Response to state, national and international needs The draft Strategic Plan is consistent with campus planning efforts, Pacheco said, and is fully consistent with the University's Mission Enhancement priorities.

After pulling your hand out with a grimace and watching the thick liquid drip off your fingertips, your instructor tells you that you’ll now be walking on the stuff. Disbelief isn’t an uncommon reaction when kids at the College’s Xplore Engineer- ing summer camp are told that the shear thickening property of Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid comprised of cornstarch and water, is what enables them to walk on its surface without sinking. But it’s the surprises – like the slightly sickening feeling when you stop moving and the Oobleck swallows your toes – that make the camp so much fun.

The U.S. share of this market amounted to almost 53 MW, which is a 35% increase in one year. And our market share is now 42%Ñmarkedly improved from 1991, when U.S. companies accounted for only 31% of total sales.

Conversion efficiencies for cells and modules continued to improve steadi- ly, and PV systems became more reliable.

  • NREL PV: Working with Industry, Second Quarter 1999
    Shedding Light on the Matter Advances in the field of photovoltaics rely on an intimate understanding of the interaction of light and matter. The more completely we under- stand the interaction—and apply that knowledge to improving PV technologies—the sooner citizens of the United States and the world can move into an era of clean, affordable energy generated directly from the sun. At NREL, and within the universities and private-sector companies that partner with the Lab, the insights gained and the inroads made have been substantial. More than ever, PV devices are efficient, cost effective, and manufacturable. The scientific curiosity, ingenuity, and just plain hard work of hundreds of people within this partnership have made it so. But much remains to be investigated. PV research at its most fundamental level is conducted within NREL's Basic Sciences Center, led by Satyen Deb—who is the editorialist for this issue. Within his center, teams of scientists are using solid-state theory to predict the existence of new semiconductors, as well as solid-state spectroscopy to reveal the intricacies of defects in PV materials. They're using chemical sciences to synthesize quantum dots of a variety of PV materials, and examining the dramatic effects that are introduced when the crystals are “nanosized.” The work of another team is expanding the science of crystal growth and devices, including developing methods to expand the supply of silicon to the PV industry. So, too, are the Lab's university partners making their presence felt. They're lighting the way to future-generation PV technologies, as you'll read in the article that profiles the PV sessions held at the most recent meeting of the Electrochemical Society.
