Bill ToddlUnited Space Alliance Marc Reagan/NASA NEEMO Project Leads Spaceflight Training, NASAJJSC October, 2003 Abstract NEEMO is the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations, a cooperative project between NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NEEMO was created and is managed by the Mission Operations Directorate at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. On the NOAA side, the National Undersea Research Center (NURC) in Key Largo, FL, with the help of the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, manages and operates the Aquarius Program. NEEMO was developed by astronaut training specialists to utilize an undersea research habitat as a multi-objective mission analog for long-duration space flight. Each mission was designed to expose astronauts to extreme environments for training purposes and to research crew behavior, habitability, and space analog life sciences. All of this was done much in the model of a space mission utilizing specific crew procedures, mission rules and timelines. Objectives of the missions were very diverse and contained many of the typical space mission type activities such as EV As (also known as extra vehicular activities), in-habitat science and research, and educational, public outreach, and media events. Five missions, dubbed NEEMO 1-5, were conducted between October 2001 and July 2003, the longest of which (NEEMO 5) lasted 14 days.
  • No Limits Freediving

    No Limits Freediving

    1 No Limits Freediving "The challenges to the respiratory function of the breath-hold diver' are formidable. One has to marvel at the ability of the human body to cope with stresses that far exceed what normal terrestrial life requires." Claes Lundgren, Director, Center for Research and Education in Special Environments A woman in a deeply relaxed state floats in the water next to a diving buoy. She is clad in a figure-hugging wetsuit, a dive computer strapped to her right wrist, and another to her calf. She wears strange form-hugging silicone goggles that distort her eyes, giving her a strange bug-eyed appearance. A couple of meters away, five support divers tread water near a diving platform, watching her perform an elaborate breathing ritual while she hangs onto a metal tube fitted with two crossbars. A few meters below the buoy, we see that the metal tube is in fact a weighted sled attached to a cable descending into the dark-blue water. Her eyes are still closed as she begins performing a series of final inhalations, breathing faster and faster. Photographers on the media boats snap pictures as she performs her final few deep and long hyperventilations, eliminating carbon dioxide from her body. Then, a thumbs-up to her surface crew, a pinch of the nose clip, one final lungful of air, and the woman closes her eyes, wraps her knees around the bottom bar of the sled, releases a brake device, and disappears gracefully beneath the waves. The harsh sounds of the wind and waves suddenly cease and are replaced by the effervescent bubbling of air being released from the regulators of scuba-divers.

    The Amazon River Without Secrets

    Geographic Society of Lima Jr. Puno 450, Lima; post office box 100-1176 Lima, Peru; phone (511) 4273723; (511) 4269930 e-mail: [email protected]; http://socgeolima.org Press Release THE AMAZON RIVER WITHOUT SECRETS Geographic Society of Lima resolves controversial hypotheses concerning the source of the Queen of all Rivers The mystery concerning the sources of the Amazon River, similar to the one concerning those of the Nile, has long been subject to never-ending speculations and academic disputes. The identification of the main river’s source section poses many difficulties for researchers, as all the hydrological criteria are rarely met at the same time. In the case of such a vast hydrographical system and such an important water artery as the Amazon River, the complications increase even more. Hydrologists believe that the stream which runs the most water, which is the longest, and who’s source lies highest above the sea level should be considered the main river. Equally important are criteria concerning the riverbed gradient, the basin activity or the morphology of the terrain. Also, the importance of culture is unquestionable. Sometimes the traditions preserved through history and the culture of a region are arguments influencing the choice of the main river. Since the time of Humboldt, the Marañón has been considered the source tributary of the Amazon River. In 1934 the geodesist Colonel Gerardo Dianderas formulated the insight that it would rather be the Ucayali as it is longer, of higher importance to the history of the region, navigable to a greater extend, and as it plays a more important economic role.
