The first volume dealt with the birth of the Apollo Program and traced its early development. The second concerns its teenage period, up to September 30, 1964. By late 1962 the broad conceptual design of the Apollo spacecraft and the Apollo lunar landing mission was complete. The Administrator formally advised the President of the United States on December 10 that NASA had selected lunar orbit rendezw)us over direct ascent and earth orbit rendezvous as the mode for landing on the moon. All major spacecraft contractors had been selected; detailed system design and early developmental testing were under way. On October 20, 1962, soon after Wally Schirra's six-orbit mission in .Sigma 7, the first formal overall status review of the Apollo spacecraft and flight mission effort was given to Administrator James E. _Vebb. The writer of this foreword, who was then the Assistant Director for Apollo Spacecraft Development, recalls George Low, then Director of Manned Spacecraft and Flight Missions trader D.

Understanding these physical and chemical parame- ters is fundamental knowledge necessary not only for discovering life or signs of life on other planets, but also for understanding our own terrestrial environment. Therefore, astrobiology pushes us to combine different perspectives such as the conditions on the primitive Earth, the B H.

Wray22 Abstract A committee of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) has reviewed and updated the description of Special Regions on Mars as places where terrestrial organisms might replicate (per the COSPAR Planetary Protection Policy). This review and update was conducted by an international team (SR-SAG2) drawn from both the biological science and Mars exploration communities, focused on understanding when and where Special Regions could occur. The study applied recently available data about martian environments and about terrestrial organisms, building on a previous analysis of Mars Special Regions (2006) undertaken by a similar team. Since then, a new body of highly relevant information has been generated from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (launched in 2005) and Phoenix (2007) and data from Mars Express and the twin Mars Exploration Rovers (all 2003).

  • Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation
    SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION SCCF ANNUAL REPORT • FISCAL YEAR 2018-2019 Founded in 1967, SCCF is dedicated to the conservation of coastal habitats and aquatic resources on Sanibel and Captiva and in the surrounding watershed through its program areas: Marine Laboratory Wildlife & Habitat Management Natural Resource Policy Native Landscapes & Garden Center Sea Turtles & Shorebirds Environmental Education Land Acquisition & Stewardship Connections November 2019 Dear Valued Members and Friends, What a year this has been! In September 2018 we announced SCCF’s new CEO and we spent the fall celebrating Erick Lindblad’s extraordinary 33-year tenure as a mentor and leader. Ryan took the helm in January 2019, and the ensuing months have featured a very successful transition and the emergence of new ideas and energy – including an update to SCCF’s strategic plan. We are entering the future bravely and thoughtfully and want to share several themes that will Doug Ryckman and Ryan Orgera guide SCCF in that future. COMMITMENT - Erick and the extraordinary SCCF staff shaped a culture of love for their jobs and appreciation of each other. Our dedicated team members are committed to SCCF’s mission and pour their hearts into all of its work. We are extremely proud of our people and the values they continue to demonstrate every day. VIGILANCE - SCCF has fought to protect our islands for over 52 years. We have been highly successful, preserving over 1,850 acres, educating innumerable citizens and visitors, and advocating for nature in Fort Myers, Tallahassee, and Washington. The SCCF RECON Network is our islands’ first line of defense in monitoring coastal water quality, and our sea turtle and shorebird programs nurture fragile wildlife populations.

  • The Search for Life on Mars and Other Planetary Bodies 211
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.75437 ProvisionalChapter chapter 12 Are We Alone? The Search for Life onon MarsMars andand OtherOther Planetary Bodies Stephanie A.A. Smith, Smith, Andrzej PaszczynskiAndrzej Paszczynski and Susan E. ChildersE. Childers Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.75437 Abstract Extensive research has shown the potential for microorganisms to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Our current understanding of diverse life on Earth implies that, even though the surface of Mars is very inhospitable to life, it is possible that there may be indigenous microorganisms on Mars, especially in the protective subsurface. Ultimately, a better understanding of microbial diversity on Earth is needed to determine the limits of life to help determine the potential for life on Mars and other exoplanets. Keywords: microorganisms, extreme environments, life on Mars, exoplanets 1. Introduction The search for extraterrestrial life is bolstered by our long-standing quest to determine if we are alone in the Universe. Mars and Europa are two likely candidates to target in the search for extraterrestrial life, since both have carbon, potential energy sources, and water in some form [1–4]. The current focus to search for life on Mars is supported by the fact that although Mars is quite cold and dry, current conditions are thought to be analogous to conditions on early Earth when single-celled life was gaining a foothold [5]. Furthermore, because there is a diversity of microorganisms known to thrive in the most inhospitable habitats on Earth, it is not unreasonable to think that microorganisms could live on Mars.

Johannes Jürgenson Das Gegenteil ist wahr Zweiter Band: Die Wahre Herkunft der Flugscheiben und die Folgen für die Weltpolitik Denkbar ist alles, möglich vieles und plausibel eine ganze Menge. Die entscheidende Frage bleibt jedoch: Was ist wahr? - Geleitwort - Dieses Buch gibt dem Leser Einblicke in Begebenheiten der letzten Jahrzehnte, die dem deutschen Volk bewußt verschwiegen wurden und noch werden. in unserem Zeitalter geschehen Dinge, die für den Verstand des Durchschnittsbürgers und das betrifft uns ja fast alle, unbegreiflich, unfaßbar erscheinen. Wissenschaft und Technik sind soweit vorangeschritten, wie einst in den Zukunftsromanen eines Jules Verne und Hans Dominik, nun die Wende des 19. zum 20. Jahrhunderts beschrieben wurden, sich längst weit darüber hinaus entwickelten. Zum Leidwesen der gesamten Menschheit hat sich eine Clique gewissenloser Menschen zusammen geschlossen, die, die Fäden nicht nur auf dem Gebiet der weltweiten Finanzen ziehen, sondern auch ihr Spinnennetz über die gesamte Wissenschaft, Technik, Medien und Militärs gezogen haben und somit versuchen sich den Rest der Menschheit zu Sklaven zu machen.

In an introduction. Dr. L. Reiffel stressed the need for a quantitative evaluation of landing safety in Apollo sites. The agenda is given in Attachment A. Attendees are listed in Attachment B. B. LUNAR ORBITER PERFORMANCE Capt. L. R. Scherer reviewed the accomplishments of the Lunar Orbiter program. Lunar Orbiter I obtained stereo medium resolution (about 8 meter) photography in 9 potential Apollo landing sites. Lunar Orbiter II obtained stereo medium resolution and monoscopic high resolution (about 1 meter) photography of 13 potential Apollo landing sites. In addition. the majority of the equatorial band on the back side and from 40 0 E longitude to 1000 E longitude on the front side has been photographed at lower resolution. C. GEOLOGIC INTERPRETATION Mr. L. Rowan of USGS discussed the geologic interpretation of the photography. He described three major phenomena; the ejecta blanket and ray pattern surrounding impact craters. volcanic fields, and mass movement (a new process of slumping and flow of the top layer of lunar soil). Mr. Rowan's presentation was taken from the paper "Orbiter Observations of the Lunar Surface.
