  • STS-99 Endeavour SHUTTLE RADAR TOPOGRAPHY MISSION
    STS-99 Endeavour SHUTTLE RADAR TOPOGRAPHY MISSION: PUTTING OUR PLANET ON THE MAP KSC Release No. 1-00 January 2000 The Space Shuttle Endeavour mission will chart a new course, using two antennae and a 200-foot-long mast protruding from its payload bay to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth’s surface. The result of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth’s topography. Besides contributing to the production of better maps, these measurements could lead to improved water drainage modeling, more realistic flight simulators, better locations for cell phone towers, and enhanced navigation safety. Just about any project that requires accurate knowledge of the shape and height of the land can benefit from the data. Some examples are flood control, soil conservation, reforestation, volcano monitoring, earthquake research, and glacier movement monitoring. The measurements, which once processed are expected to be accurate to within 50 feet, may be tailored to meet the needs of the military, civil, and scientific user communities, bettering the lives of people across the planet. Other possible uses of the information include aiding the selection of locations for cellular phone towers and improving topographical maps for backpackers, firefighters and geologists. The 11-day mission is a partnership between NASA and the Department of Defense’s National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), together with the German and Italian space agencies. The U.S. military, the primary customer of the data gathered during the mission, will use the 3-D pictures, called visualizations, to help in mission planning and rehearsal, modeling and simulation.

  • History of the Naval Aviator and Designations and Numbers
    Chapter 8 History of the Naval Aviator and Designations and Numbers The evolution of the programs and policies regarding the designation of naval aviators and naval aviation pilots is one of confusion, ambiguities, inadequate centralized administration of recordkeeping, and inconsistencies in the implementation of a new and young aviation organization into the Navy. During the early period, divergent views on aviation within the Navy and the onset of WWI brought a great influx of new people, programs, policies, aircraft, and air stations into the fledgling naval aviation community. When the United States entered WWI, naval aviation consisted of one operating air station, 48 aviators and student aviators, and 54 aircraft on hand. It was ill-equipped to handle the huge growth precipitated by the United States’ entry into the war. Background on the Evolution of Naval Aviators The Navy’s aviation program had an aviator before it acquired its first aircraft. Lt. Theodore G. Ellyson was ordered to training in December 1910 at the Glenn Curtiss aviation camp in San Diego, Calif. The Navy received its first aircraft from the Curtiss Company the following July. Flight instruction at that time was informal and remained so during the next couple of years. Ellyson, a student pilot, became a pilot when Glenn H. Curtiss agreed he could fly airplanes. Subsequently, Ellyson taught John H. Towers, another student pilot, to fly. In addition to flying, however, students also had to become totally familiar with the mechanics of their machines and to be able to repair and rebuild aircraft. Formality arrived when Capt. Washington I.
