In the chaos that swept the United States after the launching of the first Soviet Sputniks, a variety of The First New Explorers satellite programs was sponsored by the Department The first of the new series of larger Explorer satellites of Defense (DoD) to supplement (and in some cases was the 39.7 kilogram (87.5 pound) satellite NASA supplant) the country's flagging "official" satellite designated as S-1. Built by JPL, the spin stabilized program, Vanguard. One of the stronger programs S-1 consisted of a pair of fiberglass cones joined at was sponsored by the ABMA (Army Ballistic Missile their bases with a diameter and height of 76 Agency) with its engineering team lead by the centimeters each. The scientific payload consisted of German rocket expert, Wernher von Braun. Using instruments to study cosmic rays, solar X-ray and the Juno I launch vehicle, the ABMA team launched ultraviolet emissions, micrometeorites, as well as the America's first satellite, Explorer 1, which was built globe's heat balance. This was all powered by a bank by Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) (see of 15 nickel-cadmium batteries recharged by 3,000 Explorer: America's First Satellite in the February solar cells mounted on the satellite's exterior. This 1998 issue of SpaceViews). advanced payload was equipped with a timer to turn itself off after a year in orbit. While these first satellites returned a wealth of new data, they were limited by the tiny 11 kilogram (25 Explorer S-1 was launched from Cape Canaveral on pound) payload capability of the Juno I.

Credit of the figure: Raining gas clouds on to a binary of two supermassive black holes. This figure comes from a suite of smoothed-particle-hydrodynamic simulations to study the formation and evolution of gaseous structures around a MBHB constantly perturbed by the incoherent infall of molecular clouds. We conclude that the formation of of extended circumbinary structures around the binary is challenging, to say the least (taken from arXiv:1801.06179, based on research done at the Institute in 2017).
