The initial brief sumnary of NASA Atlantic Missile Range (AMR) launches was pre- pared in 1962 as a reference tool for internal use within the Launch Operations Center Historical Branch. Repeated requests for infor~natioriconcerning f4ASA launch activities warranted the presentation of this information in handy form for broeder distribution. The Summary now includes major NASA launches conducted under the direction of the John F. Kennedy Space Center (or its precursors) from the Eastern and Western Test Ranges. It does not include launches of non-mi 1itary, non-NASA spacecraft by the U.S. Air Force or launches of the small NASA Scout vehicle. This edition supersedes 811 previous issues of this Historical R~port. The rnateri a1 contai ned in this report was compi 1ed from several different sour'ces. Docunents consulted include: Operations Sumnaries, post-launch Flash ~lisht Reports, Final Field Reports, Mission Operations Reports (both pre-launch and post-launch), and Satellite Situation Repor&. Other major references were publications of the NASA Historical Office, such as: Aeronautics and Astronautics 1916-1960; Aeronautical and Astronautical E vents of 1961-1962 ; Aeronautics and Astronautics (yearly editions since f96T,mgs Pocket Statistics (published monthly). The writer is indebted to Mr. Marven R. Whipple, USAF ETR Historian, now retired, for providing data not otherwise available, and to Mr. William A. Lockyer, who prepared the previous edition of this report. Ms. Donna A. Clement, Mr. Joseph L. Green, and Mr. Hubert E. Griggs, McGregor-Werner Information Services Unit, provided valuable editorial assistance. The report is divided into projects within broad mission categories. Individual launches are listed In chronological order vif5in the categories. Mission results have been categorized as: successful (S); unsuccessful (U) ; or, pdrtially successful (P). A successful launch, fol lowed by a spacecraft fai lure, is designated (P). These are arbitrary classifications, made after a comparison of objectives and actual resul ts. A similar document, prepared in chart form, is available up011 request. Comnents, criticismns, and suggest ions for the ilnprove~nentof this publ ication are sol icited.

The processed images reveal radial structure with high density contrast at all observable scales down to the optical limit of the instrument, giving the corona a “woodgrain” appearance. Inferred density varies by an order of magnitude on spatial scales of 50 Mm and follows an f −1 spatial spectrum. The variations belie the notion of a smooth outer corona. They are inconsistent with a well-defined “Alfvén surface,” indicating instead a more nuanced “Alfvén zone”—a broad trans-Alfvénic region rather than a simple boundary. Intermittent compact structures are also present at all observable scales, forming a size spectrum with the familiar “Sheeley blobs” at the large-scale end.

Simpson Director, OSO Programs BALL BROTHERS RESEARCH CORPORATION SUBSIDIARY OF BALL CORPORATION BOULDER, COLORADO F72-01 PREFACE During the 1950's rapid progress was made in solar physics and in instrument and space hardware technology, using rocket and balloon flights that, although of brief duration, provided a view of the sun free from the obscuring atmosphere. The significance of data from these flights confirmed the often-asserted value of long-term observations from a spacecraft in advancing our knowledge of the sun's behavior. Thus, the first of NASA's space platforms designed for long-term observations of the universe from above the atmosphere was planned, and the Orbiting Solar Observatory program started in 1959. Solar physics data return began with the launch of OSO-1 in March of 1962. OSO-2 and OSO-3 were launched in 1965, OSO-4 and OS0-5 in 1967, OSO-6 in 1969, and the most recent, OSO-7/, was launched on September 29, 1971. All seven OSO's have been highly successful both in scientific data return and in per- formance of the engineering systems.

  • Identification of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection with Magnetic Cloud in Year 2005 at 1 AU
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 3, ISSUE 6, JUNE 2014 ISSN 2277-8616 Identification Of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection With Magnetic Cloud In Year 2005 At 1 AU D.S.Burud, R .S. Vhatkar, M. B. Mohite Abstract: Coronal mass ejection (CMEs) propagate in to the interplanetary medium are called as Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME). A set of signatures in plasma and magnetic field is used to identify the ICMEs. Magnetic Cloud (MC) is a special kind of ICMEs in which internal magnetic field configuration is similar like flux rope. We have used the data obtained from ACE Advance Composition Explorer (ACE) based in-situ measurements of Magnetic Field Experiment (MAG) and Solar Wind Electron, Proton and Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) experiment for the data of magnetic field and plasma parameters respectively. The magnetic field data and plasma parameters of ICMEs used to distinguish them as magnetic cloud, non magnetic cloud. We analyzed eighteen ICMEs observed during January 2005 to December 2005, which is the beginning of declining phase of solar cycle 23. The analysis of magnetic field in the frames of the flux ropes like structure using a Minimum Variance Analysis (MVA) method, and have identified 30% ICMEs in the year 2005, which shows magnetic field rotation in a plane and confirmed as ICMEs with MCs. Keywords: magnetic cloud (MC), interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME), minimum variance analysis (MVA). ———————————————————— Introduction:- Table No: 1 Signatures used to identify ICMEs in the Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are an energetic Heliosphere phenomenon originated in the Sun‘s corona, CMEs are eruptions of plasma and magnetic fields that drive space Sr.no.

FL-8-B Location: Hangar Road, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Industrial Area, Brevard County, Florida. USGS Cape Canaveral, Florida, Quadrangle. 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.

McComas Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio TX University of Texas at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX 78249, USA Abstract The goal of the Fully Online Datacenter of Ultraviolet Emissions (FONDUE) Work- ing Team of the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, was to establish a common calibration of various UV and EUV heliospheric observations, both spectroscopic and photometric. Realization of this goal required a credible and up-to-date model of spatial distribution of neutral interstellar hydrogen in the heliosphere, and to that end, a credible model of the radiation pressure and ionization processes was needed. This chapter describes the latter part of the project: the solar factors responsible for shap- arXiv:1112.2967v1 [astro-ph.SR] 13 Dec 2011 ing the distribution of neutral interstellar H in the heliosphere. Presented are the solar Lyman-alpha flux and the question of solar Lyman-alpha resonant radiation pressure force acting on neutral H atoms in the heliosphere, solar EUV radiation and the process of pho- toionization of heliospheric hydrogen, and their evolution in time and the still hypothetical variation with heliolatitude. Further, solar wind and its evolution with solar activity is 1 2 2.
