Legacy Image NASA SP17069 NASA Thesaurus Astronomy Vocabulary Scientific and Technical Information Division 1988 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Washington, M= . ' NASA SP-7069 NASA Thesaurus Astronomy Vocabulary A subset of the NASA Thesaurus prepared for the international Astronomical Union Conference July 27-31,1988 This publication was prepared by the NASA Scientific and Technical Information Facility operated for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by RMS Associates. INTRODUCTION The NASA Thesaurus Astronomy Vocabulary consists of terms used by NASA indexers as descriptors for astronomy-related documents. The terms are presented in a hierarchical format derived from the 1988 edition of the NASA Thesaurus Volume 1 -Hierarchical Listing. Main (postable) terms and non- postable cross references are listed in alphabetical order. READING THE HIERARCHY Each main term is followed by a display of its context within a hierarchy. USE references, UF (used for) references, and SN (scope notes) appear immediately below the main term, followed by GS (generic structure), the hierarchical display of term relationships. The hierarchy is headed by the broadest term within that hierarchy. Terms that are broader in meaning than the main term are listed . above the main term; terms narrower in meaning are listed below the main term. The term itself is in boldface for easy identification. Finally, a list of related terms (RT) from other hierarchies is provided. Within a hierarchy, the number of dots to the left of a term indicates its hierarchical level - the more dots, the lower the level (i.e., the narrower the meaning of the term). For example, the term "ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES" which is preceded by two dots is narrower in meaning than "GALAXIES"; this in turn is narrower than "CELESTIAL BODIES". This relationship can be seen in the hierarchy of any of these ' three terms. While allproader, narrower, and related terms in a hierarchy are main (postable) terms from the NASA Thesaurus, some hierarchy terms do not appear as main terms in the NASA Thesaurus Astronomy Vocabulary The reason is that a term may be part of a hierarchical relationship, but is not itself a valid main entry in an astronomy vocabulary. For example, the displays of "IMPACT DAMAGEw and "METEORITIC DAMAGE" show "DAMAGE" as the broadest term, but there is not a main entry for "DAMAGE", which is too general a term for an astronomy vocabulary. Other features include array terms identified by an infinity symbol which organize related concepts under very general headings; scope notes (SN), which restrict the use of a term to a certain context; and "used for" (UF) terms, which are nonpostable variations of the terms that have been cross refer- enced to the postable main term.

Unmanned scientific spacecraft have probed for facts about matter, radiation and magnetism in space, and have collected data relating to the Moon, Venus, Mars, the Sun and some of the stars, and reported their findings to ground stations on Earth. Spacecraft have been put into orbit around the Earth as weather observation stations, as communications relay stations for a world-wide telephone and television network, and as aids to navigation. In addition, the space program has accelerated the advance of technology for science and industry, contributing many new ideas, processes and materials. All this took place in the decade of the Sixties. What next? What may be expected of space exploration in the Seventies? NASA has prepared a series of publications and motion pictures to provide a look forward to SPACE IN THE SEVENTIES. The topics covered in this series include: Earth orbital science; planetary exploration; practical applications of satellites; technology utilization; man in space; and aeronautics. SPACE IN THE SEVENTIES presents the planned programs of NASA for the coming decade.

    Small Astronomy Calendar for Amateur Astronomers Year III 2021 Let’s welcome our 2021 Small Astronomy Calendar Edition made by our Intergalactic Astronomy Educators Fellowship (IGAEF)’s team. In 2021, many amateur astronomers asked for calculations for more specific geographical locations. This year we added new useful calculated positions and coordinates for everyone in the world to use. You should check this calendar every month, specifically the lunar occultations pages for your observation point. There are many interesting and unique events that might not happen every year, because of the different parameters of the Moon orbit. Our hope is to fulfill your expectations. We would like to receive suggestions and feedback. You can find the editor’s email in the last page of the calendar. We appreciate your support and we are looking forward to having a good observational year, and a better and more complete calendar for this first year of a new decade.

  • The Language of Differential Forms
    Appendix A The Language of Differential Forms This appendix—with the only exception of Sect.A.4.2—does not contain any new physical notions with respect to the previous chapters, but has the purpose of deriving and rewriting some of the previous results using a different language: the language of the so-called differential (or exterior) forms. Thanks to this language we can rewrite all equations in a more compact form, where all tensor indices referred to the diffeomorphisms of the curved space–time are “hidden” inside the variables, with great formal simplifications and benefits (especially in the context of the variational computations). The matter of this appendix is not intended to provide a complete nor a rigorous introduction to this formalism: it should be regarded only as a first, intuitive and oper- ational approach to the calculus of differential forms (also called exterior calculus, or “Cartan calculus”). The main purpose is to quickly put the reader in the position of understanding, and also independently performing, various computations typical of a geometric model of gravity. The readers interested in a more rigorous discussion of differential forms are referred, for instance, to the book [22] of the bibliography. Let us finally notice that in this appendix we will follow the conventions introduced in Chap. 12, Sect. 12.1: latin letters a, b, c,...will denote Lorentz indices in the flat tangent space, Greek letters μ, ν, α,... tensor indices in the curved manifold. For the matter fields we will always use natural units = c = 1. Also, unless otherwise stated, in the first three Sects.

This report shows that we have made forward strides toward each of the six objectives which I set forth for a balanced space program in my statement of March 7, 1970. Aided by the improvements we have made in mobility, our explorers on the moon last summer produced new, exciting and useful evidence on the structure and origin of the moon. Several phenomena which they uncovered are now under study. Our unmanned nearby observation of Mars is similarly valuable and significant for the advancement of science. During 1971, we gave added emphasis to aeronautics activities which contribute substantially to improved travel conditions, safety and security, and we gained in- creasing recognition that space and aeronautical research serves in many ways to keep us in the forefront of man’s technological achievements. There can be little doubt that the investments we are now making in explora- tions of the unknown are but a prelude to the accomplishments of mankind in future generations.

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.
