  • NASA Is Not Archiving All Potentially Valuable Data
    ‘“L, United States General Acchunting Office \ Report to the Chairman, Committee on Science, Space and Technology, House of Representatives November 1990 SPACE OPERATIONS NASA Is Not Archiving All Potentially Valuable Data GAO/IMTEC-91-3 Information Management and Technology Division B-240427 November 2,199O The Honorable Robert A. Roe Chairman, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: On March 2, 1990, we reported on how well the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) managed, stored, and archived space science data from past missions. This present report, as agreed with your office, discusses other data management issues, including (1) whether NASA is archiving its most valuable data, and (2) the extent to which a mechanism exists for obtaining input from the scientific community on what types of space science data should be archived. As arranged with your office, unless you publicly announce the contents of this report earlier, we plan no further distribution until 30 days from the date of this letter. We will then give copies to appropriate congressional committees, the Administrator of NASA, and other interested parties upon request. This work was performed under the direction of Samuel W. Howlin, Director for Defense and Security Information Systems, who can be reached at (202) 275-4649. Other major contributors are listed in appendix IX. Sincerely yours, Ralph V. Carlone Assistant Comptroller General Executive Summary The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is respon- Purpose sible for space exploration and for managing, archiving, and dissemi- nating space science data. Since 1958, NASA has spent billions on its space science programs and successfully launched over 260 scientific missions.

  • Response of Energetic Particles to Magnetospheric Ultra-Low-Frequency Waves
    KAZUE TAKAHASHI RESPONSE OF ENERGETIC PARTICLES TO MAGNETOSPHERIC ULTRA-LOW-FREQUENCY WAVES Ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves in the space physics context are the lowest-frequency plasma waves propagating in the Earth's magnetosphere. Although the propagation of the waves is explained in mag­ netohydrodynamic (MHD) theory, excitation of the waves involves not only MHD but also kinetic pro­ cesses. In this article, we describe how in situ magnetic field and particle measurements can be used to distinguish the basic properties of ULF waves, including the azimuthal wave number of the standing wave structure and the propagation direction. Examples are taken from observations with the AMPTE/CCE spacecraft. INTRODUCTION A long time ago it was realized that the geomagnetic perimentally determined. This provides a quantitative ba­ field as observed on the ground exhibits small-amplitude sis for testing various theories of plasma instabilities. oscillations with a period of a few minutes. 1 Since then, In this article we describe how energetic particle data the phenomenon has attracted many researchers and has combined with magnetic field data can be used to under­ been called by several different names, including geo­ stand the properties of ULF waves. In some cases, the magnetic micropulsations, magnetic pulsations, ultra­ particles can be treated separately from the bulk of the low-frequency (ULF) pulsations (i.e., frequencies lower plasma, and can be used as test particles probing the spa­ than 3 Hz), or ULF waves. In 1954, Dungey2 predicted tial and temporal structure of ULF pulsations. In that that the oscillations originate in the magnetosphere as case, the type of wave-particle interactions critically de­ magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves.

  • 60 Years of Earth Imaging from Satellites
    50 May-June 2018 60 Years of Earth Imaging from Satellites By Don Hillger and Garry Toth Satellite imagery is a common and integral part of modern life, from the frequent cloud photos used for weather analysis, forecasting and television illustrations to Earth-observing imagery for environmental monitoring. Th is fl ood of imagery is a modern phenomenon. Starting with the fi rst artifi cial satellites in the late 1950s, the ability to view Earth from space has progressed steadily to the point that many terabytes of imagery are now obtained daily from satellites, which have become the main sources of the remote-sensing data that swell the archives of the scientifi c community. Th e topic of satellite imagery and its history could fi ll a large number of volumes. Th e goal of this article is to outline certain aspects of satellite remote- sensing history (hitting the highlights, as it were) and, in particular, to focus on some of the innovative satellite imagery that has recently become available. Th e First Earth Imagery Th e fi rst photo of Earth from space was not taken by a satellite, but rather from a German V-2 missile launched from White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) in New Mexico on Oct. 24, 1946. Th e story of that photo is documented in the Smithsonian Air and Space Magazine (www.airspacemag.com/space/the-fi rst-photo- from-space-13721411/). Th e only postal item known to show this rocket-view image is a 65th anniversary cover for the launch of that V2 rocket.

  • Persistent and Transient Anisotropies of the Cosmic Radiation
    PERSISTENT AND TRANSIENT ANISOTROPIES OF THE COSMIC RADIATION By JON GORDON ABLES\·,· Bachelor of Arts Knox ·College Galesburg, Illinois 1959 Master of Science Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1963 Submitted to the faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 1967 OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY JAN 9 1968 PERSISTENT AND TRANSIENT ANISOTROPIES .,, ... ,.,.,,.',,•"•'.·,;.. ,, .. , OF THE COSMIC RADIATION Thesis Approved: 558289 ii PREFACE One of the more remarkable characteristics of the cosmic radiation is its high degree of uniformity; the flux changes very little with time and is almost completely isotropic. Only in the past few decades have measurements of the cosmic radiation been sufficiently precise to detect temporal variations; and, the detection of anisotropies, with any degree of certainty, became possible only with the improved instrumenta­ tion and world-wide monitoring .facilities constructed as part of the program for the International Geophysical Year. Although the observed variations and anisotropies are small, it has become increasingly evident that a great amount of information concerning the nature of the inter­ planetary medium, the solar corona, and even the sun itself, as well as possible information about the origin of the cosmic radiation, is con­ tained in these small variations and anisotropies. The advent, in the last decade, of artificial earth satellites and solar probes has greatly increased the interest in cosmic rays and related phenomena. Not only do these experimental vehicles provide a fresh viewpoint from which to study cosmic rays, but also the cosmic-ray measurements provide valuable cross-checks on other measurements made in space.
