Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: E 540610 N 3151547, Zone 17, NAD 1983. Date of Construction: 1959 Present Owner: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Present Use: Home to NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) and the Launch Vehicle Data Center (LVDC). The LVDC allows engineers to monitor telemetry data during unmanned rocket launches. Significance: Missile Assembly Building AE, commonly called Hangar AE, is nationally significant as the telemetry station for NASA KSC’s unmanned Expendable Launch Vehicle (ELV) program. Since 1961, the building has been the principal facility for monitoring telemetry communications data during ELV launches and until 1995 it processed scientifically significant ELV satellite payloads. Still in operation, Hangar AE is essential to the continuing mission and success of NASA’s unmanned rocket launch program at KSC. It is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A in the area of Space Exploration as Kennedy Space Center’s (KSC) original Mission Control Center for its program of unmanned launch missions and under Criterion C as a contributing resource in the CCAFS Industrial Area Historic District.

  • Initial Isee Magnetometer Results: Magnetopause Observations
    INITIAL ISEE MAGNETOMETER RESULTS: MAGNETOPAUSE OBSERVATIONS C. T. RUSSELL and R. C. ELPHIC Institute oJ' Geophysics and Planetary Physics, University of California, Los Angeles, Calif. 90024, U.S.A, Abstract. The magnetic field profiles across the magnetopause obtained by the ISEE-1 and -2 spacecraft separated by only a few hundred kilometers are examined for four passes. During one of these passes the magnetosheath field was northward, during one it was slightly southward, and in two it was strongly southward. The velocity of the magnetopause is found to be highly irregular ranging from 4 to over 40 km s-1 and varying in less time than it takes for a spacecraft to cross the boundary. Thicknesses ranged from 500 to over 1000 kin. Clear evidence for reconnection is found in the data when the magnetosheath field is southward. However, this evidence is not in the form of classic rotational discontinuity signatures. Rather, it is in the form of flux transfer events, in which reconnection starts and stops in a matter of minutes or less, resulting in the ripping off of flux tubes from the magnetosphere. Evidence for flux transfer events can be found both in the magnetosheath and the outer magnetosphere due to their alteration of the boundary normal. In particular, their presence at the time of magnetopause crossings invalidates the usual 2-dimensional analysis of magnetopause structure. Not only are these flux transfer events probably the dominant means of reconnection on the magnetopause, but they may also serve as an important source of magnetopause oscillations, and hence of pulsations in the outer magnetosphere.

Department of Agriculture For EARTH RESOURCES SURVEY PROGRAM OFFICE OF SPACE SCIENCES AND APPLICATIONS NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION r I PREFACE On October 1, 1965, a cooperative agreement was signed between the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) authorizing research to be undertaken in remote sensing as related to Agriculture, Forestry and Range Manage- ment Under funding provided by the Supporting Research and Technology (SR&T) program of NASA, Contract No. R-09-038-002. USDA designated the Forest SerVice to monitor and provide grants to forestry and range management research workers. All such studies were administered by the Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station in Berkeley, California in cooperation with the Forestry Remote Sensing Laboratory of the University.of California at Berkeley. Professor Robert N. Colwell of the University of California at Berkeley was designated coordinator of these research studies. Forest and range research studies were funded either directly with the Forest Service or by Memoranda of Agreement with cooperating univer- sities.
