  • Podiform Chromite at Voskhod, Kazakhstan
    PODIFORM CHROMITE AT VOSKHOD, KAZAKHSTAN Caroline Johnson Submitter in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. November, 2012 Somewhat unconventionally, this thesis is for me. Caroline Johnson “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” Douglas Adams (1952-2001) Abstract The Voskhod podiform chromitite is one of more than 30 chromitite deposits that collectively form the Main Ore Field (MOF) within the Kempirsai Massif, in Kazakhstan. The MOF is the largest podiform chromitite ore-field in the world. The Voskhod deposit, encased in a serpentinised dunite halo, is situated within harzburgite units that comprise the mantle sequence of the Kempirsai ophiolite. This study arose from a unique opportunity to work on drill core samples through an un-mined podiform chromite deposit and investigate its internal structure, composition and genesis. The 18Mt ore-body has a strike of 600 m, is 170 m to 360 m wide and has an average thickness of 39 m. It has an immediate dunite halo between 1 m and 5 m thick. The ore body is made up of multiple stacked chromitite layers. Mineralised layers are separated by barren dunite or by weakly disseminated dunite lenses ranging from <1 m to 50 m. The style of mineralization varies throughout the ore body; the central region is dominated by thick (>5 – 45 m) units of massive chromite (>80% chromite), with progression towards the south west disseminated chromite (10 – 40% chromite) becomes increasingly abundant. Drill core logging and cross- section profiling of the internal structure of the ore body has identified an intricately connected network of what appear to be chromite-filled channel-ways.

  • UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units
    Appendix 1 UK Military Hovercraft Trials Units Background When Christopher Cockerell was seeking support for the development of the hovercraft principle, it was the intervention of the late Earl Mountbatten that was of signifi cant help. With his background in Amphibious Warfare, he immediately saw the potential for this new concept, so much so that it was initially classifi ed as Top Secret. Eventually, the Saunders Roe, SR.N1, was built and launched on 11 June 1959 to further evaluate the potential of the concept. This new vehicle attracted great pub- licity and interest in the UK. Military interest led to the formation of an Interservice Hovercraft Working Party in 1961 and the formation of the Interservice Hovercraft (Trials) Unit (IHTU) at HMS Ariel (later HMS Daedalus), at Lee-on-the-Solent just west of Portsmouth harbour. IHTU personnel were drawn from the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force and the Army. The different Service backgrounds and training assisted both in routine maintenance and fault fi nding on these special craft. Additionally, after the traditional 3-year tour, personnel were drafted to active units and able to spread the message about the usefulness of amphibious hovercraft. Figure A1.1 shows the Unit in the NHTU days with SR.N6, BH 7 and VT 2 craft present. The Early Days In order to evaluate hovercraft military potential, to start with craft were hired from their manufacturers and operated from Lee-on-the-Solent. These evaluations served the double purpose of enabling Service personnel to gain experience of hovercraft operations and assisting manufacturers in the development of their craft.

Upon learning the news that the Americans at the end of 1963 had announced the launch of the Gemini project with two astronauts, Soviet Premier Khrushchev summons Korolyov and orders him to fly not two but three cosmonauts before November 7, the anniversary of the October Revolution: "If the Americans have a vehicle for two, we prove our superiority by flying three men." explains Umberto Cavallaro, Editor of our on-line sister journal (in Italy) AdAstra. Korolyov uselessly tries to explain that in a few months it is survival reserves and safety systems. impossible to prepare a new spacecraft and a new rocket Vostok is renamed Voskhod to simulate the construction, powerful enough. Khrushchev is not interested in these within a very short time, of a brand new spaceship, about implementation details. which it is absolutely forbidden to disseminate any information or drawing. What is important is the spectacular side: "to launch into space three Soviet citizens before the Americans can launch It becomes immediately clear that even by choosing the their two astronauts." The threat is clear: if Korolyov is smallest of cosmonauts, it is impossible to compress three unable to fulfill the "task entrusted to him by the party and people within the Voskhod. the government" the task will be passed to another person in position to do so.
