Abstract Background: NASA selected the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) investigation in 1986 for the Mars Observer mission. The MOC consisted of three elements which shared a common package: a narrow angle camera designed to obtain images with a spatial resolution as high as 1.4 m per pixel from orbit, and two wide angle cameras (one with a red filter, the other blue) for daily global imaging to observe meteorological events, geodesy, and provide context for the narrow angle images. Following the loss of Mars Observer in August 1993, a second MOC was built from flight spare hardware and launched aboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) in November 1996.

  • 10 Exploits De Skieurs Étrangers
    LA LEGENDE DU SKI ALPIN Ce qu’il ne fallait pas louper Dix exploits de skieur(euse)s internationaux Après m’être frotté à l’épineuse question de la sélection des dix plus grands exploits de skieurs français, je rechausse les skis avec un défi encore plus insurmontable, à savoir le choix des dix plus grands exploits de l’histoire du ski alpin. Et même s’il est alambiqué de juxtaposer les époques, c’est avec force subjectivité et totale partialité que j’impose aux tribuns avertis mon anthologie plébéienne. 1 – 1937 / 1939. Les deux triplés de Christl Cranz. Championnats du monde de Chamonix et Zakopane. Christl Cranz est un nom qui ne résonne presque plus dans le monde du ski alpin. Pourtant, la trace laissée par cette championne allemande de légende est aussi profonde que son palmarès est épais. Et même si ses liens avec le national socialisme restent sulfureux, il faut lui accorder une place privilégiée dans ce palmarès. Première championne olympique de l’histoire (combiné en 1936), Cranz est la skieuse la plus titrée (12) et la plus médaillée (15) des championnats du monde de ski. Il faut dire qu’en gagnant toutes les courses disputées en 1937 et 1939 (descente, slalom et combiné), elle réalisa une razzia unique dans l’histoire de cette compétition. 2 – 1956. Toni Sailer, roi des Jeux. Jeux Olympiques de Cortina d’Ampezzo Vingt ans. C’est l’âge du jeune Autrichien Toni Sailer lorsqu’il débarque à Cortina d’Ampezzo pour disputer les VIIe Jeux olympiques d’hiver au programme desquels figurent trois épreuves de ski alpin : le géant, le slalom et la descente.

  • Downtrodden Yet Determined: Exploring the History Of
    DOWNTRODDEN YET DETERMINED: EXPLORING THE HISTORY OF BLACK MALES IN PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AND HOW THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION ADDRESSES THEIR WELFARE A Dissertation by JUSTIN RYAN GARNER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, John N. Singer Committee Members, Natasha Brison Paul J. Batista Tommy J. Curry Head of Department, Melinda Sheffield-Moore May 2019 Major Subject: Kinesiology Copyright 2019 Justin R. Garner ABSTRACT Professional athletes are paid for their labor and it is often believed they have a weaker argument of exploitation. However, labor disputes in professional sports suggest athletes do not always receive fair compensation for their contributions to league and team success. Any professional athlete, regardless of their race, may claim to endure unjust wages relative to their fellow athlete peers, yet Black professional athletes’ history of exploitation inspires greater concerns. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to explore and trace the historical development of basketball in the United States (US) and the critical role Black males played in its growth and commercial development, and 2) to illuminate the perspectives and experiences of Black male professional basketball players concerning the role the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and National Basketball Retired Players Association (NBRPA), collectively considered as the Players Association for this study, played in their welfare and addressing issues of exploitation. While drawing from the conceptual framework of anti-colonial thought, an exploratory case study was employed in which in-depth interviews were conducted with a list of Black male professional basketball players who are members of the Players Association.

  • Growing up with Vertigo: British Writers, Dc, and the Maturation of American Comic Books
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature.
