And indeed, the level of importance and per- formance reached by the aerospace sector in that time is fascinating to con- template, a fact that is eloquently docu- mented by our annual report entitled “Research and Corporate Results”. A cen- tury ago, who would have expected research to make such progress in the service of science, the society, and the economy? Who could have foreseen DLR occupying top positions in Europe and even in the entire world with such assu- rance? Just take the leading position in the field of Earth observation which Germany clai- med and was granted at the Ministerial Conference of the European Space Agency ESA in December 2005. It not only emphasises Germany’s excellence in instrument development but also promo- tes the use of Earth observation in nume- rous applications of political and societal importance. Then, there is the acquisition of two new leading-edge research air- craft last year, a Gulfstream G550 and an Airbus A320. This addition to DLR’s fleet of aircraft offers extraordinary opportuni- ties to address multi-faceted questions in aeronautical and atmospheric research at the highest level. Thus, besides clearly demonstrating its excellence and innova- tive strength, DLR sustainably consolida- ted its leadership in European aeronauti- cal research. 6 Preface The same is true for two other DLR busi- ble returns.

In the future, DLR will similarly be able to rely on this high esteem, which also puts us under a corresponding obligation. The Federal Ministry of Economics and Tech- nology set a number of positive high- lights from the very start, particularly at the ESA Ministerial Conference mentio- ned above. The same holds true for the other ministries and state governments which are DLR’s partners. They all show similar commitment to supporting DLR, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. E.h.

The current aeronautics research pro- gramme of the Federal Government (LUFO IV) is expected to make a major contribution towards enhan- cing the network that exists between research and the industry in Germany. The scope of DLR’s participation in the recent first call for joint project tenders was correspondingly large. On the European plane, it is expec- ted that the seventh research frame- work programme will be launched in 2007. Here again, DLR is preparing to make its own contributions towards aeronautical issues. 10 Research Results > Aeronautics New research aircraft in a flying change HALO for atmospheric research, a converted A320 for flight system development For DLR’s aeronautics area, taking deli- These acquisitions underline DLR’s uni- DLR’s recently-acquired

  • Space Resources : Social Concerns / Editors, Mary Fae Mckay, David S
    Frontispiece Advanced Lunar Base In this panorama of an advanced lunar base, the main habitation modules in the background to the right are shown being covered by lunar soil for radiation protection. The modules on the far right are reactors in which lunar soil is being processed to provide oxygen. Each reactor is heated by a solar mirror. The vehicle near them is collecting liquid oxygen from the reactor complex and will transport it to the launch pad in the background, where a tanker is just lifting off. The mining pits are shown just behind the foreground figure on the left. The geologists in the foreground are looking for richer ores to mine.

September 1995 in Berlin) Reinhard Alfred Furrer Furrer studierte zunächst an der Universität Kiel und später an der Freien Universität Berlin Physik. 1969 machte er sein Diplom, 1972 erreichte er den Doktorgrad. 1974 wurde er Assistenzprofessor in Stuttgart. 1979 habilitierte er und verbrachte zwei Jahre in den USA, an der Universität sowie am Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago. 1977 bewarb sich Furrer bei der damaligen Deutschen Forschungs- und Versuchsanstalt für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DFVLR) (später: Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR), als diese einen Wissenschaftsastronauten für die erste Spacelab-Mission suchte. Bei der ersten Auswahl war er noch Ulf Merbold unterlegen, aber bei der Auswahl für die erste deutsche Spacelab-Mission 1982 wurde er dann nominiert. Am 30. Oktober 1985 startete er an Bord des Space Shuttle Challenger bei der D1-Mission als Nutzlastspezialist. Bei diesem Raumflug führte Furrer physikalische Experimente durch und untersuchte unter anderem die Auswirkungen der Schwerelosigkeit bei der Materialverarbeitung und auf den menschlichen Körper. Nach seinem Raumflug wurde er 1987 Professor und Direktor des Instituts für Weltraumwissenschaften an der Freien Universität Berlin. Furrer war begeisterter Sportpilot. Er machte seine erste Pilotenlizenz 1974 und unternahm viele Flugtouren mit einmotorigen Sportflugzeugen, beispielsweise einen Flug über das Inlandeis Grönlands oder einen Soloflug von Deutschland nach Quito (Ecuador). Furrer starb am 9. D1-Mission - Hintergrund 1 / 3 September 1995 bei einem Flugzeugabsturz während einer Flugshow auf dem Flugplatz Johannisthal (Berlin). Ernst Willi Messerschmid (geb.

Functionality is our top priority and ultimately determines the design. only the technical features that are really needed can be found on our watches. Because we believe that products have to speak for themselves. the basic question that we ask ourselves is: which innovative technologies and materials can be employed for our craft and provide solutions for rendering our watches even more practical for everyday use? It is often worth indulging in a little lateral thinking to see what is going on in other industrial sectors or fields of science.

    NASA JOHNSON SPACE CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT ORAL HISTORY TRANSCRIPT GUION S. BLUFORD, JR. INTERVIEWED BY JENNIFER ROSS-NAZZAL HOUSTON, TEXAS – 2 AUGUST 2004 The questions in this transcript were asked during an oral history session with Dr. Guion S. Bluford, Jr. Dr. Bluford has amended the answers and a few questions for clarification purposes. He has also added a few questions for readability. As a result, this transcript does not exactly match the audio recording. ROSS-NAZZAL: Today is August 2, 2004. This oral history with Guy Bluford is being conducted in Houston, Texas, for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project. The interviewer is Jennifer Ross-Nazzal, assisted by Sandra Johnson and Rebecca Wright. Thank you so much for joining us this afternoon, Dr. Bluford. BLUFORD: It’s good to be here. ROSS-NAZZAL: Thank you. I’d like to begin by talking about your career in the Air Force. If you could, give us a brief outline of your career. BLUFORD: I went to Penn State [Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania] to get a degree in aerospace engineering and went into the Air Force ROTC [Reserve Officers Training Corps] Program. I graduated in September of 1964 with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering and a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. In January of 1965, I went to pilot training at Williams Air Force Base in Phoenix, Arizona. In February of 1966, I graduated and received my Air Force pilot wings. 2 August 2004 1 Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Guion S.
