CIS465 Lab Assignment 2 Creating a Broadcasting Presentation of Apollo CIS465 Lab Assignment 2 SS Chung Creating a Broadcasting Presentation of Apollo 11 Launch Using SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) Apollo 17, the last mission to the moon, traveled further from the Lunar Module than any other mission; the trip took over an hour at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per hour. It was not possible to send television when the Lunar Rover was in motion, and this was the only flight in which the Lunar Rover carried no motion picture camera. The trip was therefore documented in only two ways: • Recorded radio conversations between the two astronauts on the Moon and another astronaut in mission control in Houston. • 140 photographs, about one every 30 seconds, taken by the astronaut that was not driving. In lab2, you simulate this broadcasting method of Apollo 17 with the radio audio data and a series of image pictures taken from the Apollo 11 Launch moments from NASA to broadcast the Apollo 11 Launch. Implement your own a Broadcasting Presentation of Apollo 11 Launch in SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) using given the audio and images data in sequences. 1. Create your presentation layout as given in the page 15 in the Lecture Notes on SMIL at http://eecs.csuohio.edu/~sschung/CIS465/SMIL-jun00W3Tutorial.pdf 2. In the layout, make V-remote with 3. Play a video and an audio together in the region with id = V-main with your Video and Audio files for 15 second and then display the anchorman picture in the V-main region (you can copy the picture of the anchorman in the lecture slide) 4. During V-main is played, display the other anchorman picture (Larry King) in the V-remote region (you can copy the picture of the anchorman in the lecture slide). 5. As soon as the Anchorman picture is displayed in V-main right after the video and audio presentation is finished, start your Apollo broadcasting in V-remote region as specified in step 4 next. 6. Play the audio and image data together in the region with id = V-remote for 60 seconds. Synchronize the sequence of the available image data with the content of the commentary in the audio data of the Apollo11. See the photo description and timing sequence in the table below. Note that you have to play the images to match with the audio content. Do not display all the images in a fixed regular interval, it won’t be synchronized with the audio. 7. During V-remote is played, display the anchorman picture in the V-main region (you can copy the picture of the anchorman in the lecture slide). 8. Whichever region currently being played appears on the top between the overlapping regions 9. T-title display Top Story Apollo 11 during the entire presentation. 10. V-anchor displays “CNN Atlanta” during the entire presentation. 11. r-title displays “NASA Houston” during the entire presentation. 12. For 9 – 11, use the element <smilText>. See the example below. Example of <smilText> <smilText xml:id="text_1b" region="main_text" begin="1s" dur="60s" textAlign="center" textColor="red" textFontSize="66px" > CNN Atlanta </smilText> The audio file and the pictures are posted on the class webpage. The list of URLs of the sources of the pictures in sequence is given below as well. Notes: 1. For this lab, you need a SMIL file player. See the class webpage for the SMIL players. Ambulant, Real Time Player are the commonly used for playing SMIL files. http://www.ambulantplayer.org/ 2. You can use your own video file in mp4. If you don’t have mp4 file, download a sample mp4 file on the site listed on the class webpage. 3. The given data files in the class webpage are the selective photos. They are NOT the entire set of photos available in the NASA sites. You are welcome to use more pictures from the NASA site. 4. Submit the followings: DO NOT SUBMIT your Video File on Blackboard! 1) Your SMIL source codes in .txt file and your executable in .smil file 2) Lab 2 Output in doc file showing: - Your SMIL Source Codes - All the screen captures of each execution.

Also today in 1958, NASA was established by an act of Congress. More? In 1962, the 300-foot radio telescope of the National Ra- dio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) went live at Green Bank, West Virginia. It held place as the world’s second largest radio scope until it collapsed in 1988. Tonight let’s visit with an old lunar favorite. Easily seen in binoculars, the hexagonal walled plain of Albategnius ap- pears near the terminator about one-third the way north of the south limb. Look north of Albategnius for even larger and more ancient Hipparchus giving an almost “figure 8” view in binoculars. Between Hipparchus and Albategnius to the east are mid-sized craters Halley and Hind. Note the curious ALBATEGNIUS AND HIPPARCHUS ON THE relationship between impact crater Klein on Albategnius’ southwestern wall and TERMINATOR CREDIT: ROGER WARNER that of crater Horrocks on the northeastern wall of Hipparchus. Now let’s power up and “crater hop”... Just northwest of Hipparchus’ wall are the beginnings of the Sinus Medii area. Look for the deep imprint of Seeliger - named for a Dutch astronomer. Due north of Hipparchus is Rhaeticus, and here’s where things really get interesting. If the terminator has progressed far enough, you might spot tiny Blagg and Bruce to its west, the rough location of the Surveyor 4 and Surveyor 6 landing area.

The relationship shows that all small craters are probably of impact origin. For many small lunar craters Ebert's rule is not valid. I. Introduction At the end of the last century Ebert (1890)* found that the ratios of the depths o of lunar craters to their diameters A decreased with increasing diameter. This relationship between diameter and depth of craters was later known as Ebert's rule. At Ebert's time only a few depths of lunar craters were known with sufficient accuracy.

BOU§KA Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University, Prague (Received 10 June 1970) Profiles of large lunar craters have been well-known for a long time. In recent years, lunar spacecrafts made it possible for the first time to investigate the sizes and forms of small craters. First of lunar spacecrafts which transmitted thousands of high-re­ solution photographs of the lunar surface were Rangers VII, VIII and IX. Ranger VII was launched on July 28, 1964, and encountered the Moon on July 31 in the northern region of Mare Imbrium (impact point A = 21°W, /3 = 11°S), later named Mare Cognitum; Ranger VII transmitted 4308 lunar photographs. Ranger VIII was launched on February 17, 1965, and encountered the Moon on February 20 in Mare Tranquillitatis (impact point A= 24°E, /3 -= 3?0 N); this space­ craft transmitted 7137 lunar photographs.

    Lunar Geology of Apollo 11 Landing Site Chenango Forks High School Sharon Hartzell Sarah Maximowicz Benjamin Daniels Sarah Andrus Jackson Haskell Lunar Maria Lunar Maria Lunar Maria • Low albedo • Volcanic materials from flows, ash beds, or both • Level and darker than other moon features Mare Tranquilitatis : “Sea of Tranquility” • Mare/Maria –Latin term for Sea • Apollo 11 landing site – Minor Lunar Mare • Chosen due to its relatively smooth and level area • “Small step for man giant leap for mankind” • First footprints located in the lunar mare Lunar Highlands Highlands Lunar Highlands • The lunar highlands are lighter than the surrounding maria. • They are formed by volcanic activity. The lava that formed the highlands cooled more slowly than the mare basalts • They are anorthositic in composition and not basaltic Lunar Highlands • Samples from the lunar highlands near the Apollo 16 landing site are dated to be around 4 billion years old. • The highlands are shown to be older than the mare basalts Plains Level and flat With a relatively low albedo. Smooth, low hills may be totally absent of cratering. Underlying features are Low undulating totally covered hills with sporadic and evidence craters and of volcanism is depressions. not apparent. Generally where volcanic debris is limited and underlying Hypatia crater features are marginally visible. Zollner crater Irregular Terra Characterized by its Rolling Hills lack of a dominant or distinguished by the regular pattern. Except small indentations in in very localized areas the surface that trail there are virtually no in a NW‐SE. The smooth, flat areas. indentations are believed to be the result of faulting and Rough and rugged collapse during the terrain composed Imbrian event.
