Analyses of these data by the authors and many others have provided a major advance in the field of Geodesy. Since the creation of the National Geodetic Satellite Program in the middle 1960's, a continuous effort has been underway at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and other research centers (notably the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the U.S. Department of Defense, and a cooperative effort between Germany's Deutsches Geodaetisches Forschungsinstitut and France's Groupe de Recherehes de Geodesie Spatiale -- to name a few) to use satellite observations to improve our understanding of the gravity field and enhance our capabilities for modeling near-earth satellite orbital motion. Better knowledge of the geopotential has created dramatic advances in point positioning, in the study of the earth's kinematics and tectonics, in understanding the earth's theology and interior, and in the study of global oceanic processes with spaceborne instrumentation. The geopotential models developed by GSFC are known by their acronym, GEM, standing for Goddard Earth Models. The GEM have generally kept pace with the rapid advances made in the precision by which near-earth satellites are tracked and the orbital accuracy requirements of the missions themselves. However, new NASA missions foreseen for the 1990's require further gravity model improvement to achieve their mission objectives. Of most immediate concern is geodetic support (e.g., for orbit computations and the marine geoid) for the TOPEX oceanographic satellite which is under development for launch in 1991. The 10 to 15 cm radial orbit accuracy requirement of TOPEX, driven by the radar altimeter system, is at least a factor of three beyond the capability of gravity models existing in 1985. There is an additional need for an Interim model

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.

JOURNAL SPRING 2017 Waltham Then and Now The original commercial center of Waltham was near the Linden Street – Main Street intersection, Marie Daly and businesses spread westward along Main Street, When we drive down Moody Street today, many of a busy thoroughfare for traffic and stagecoaches us are unaware that this busy thoroughfare and dense plying between Boston and Framingham, Worcester neighborhood were once a bucolic farm and abundant and Springfield. By 1830, the business and domestic riverside marshes. Previously a community of farms populace centered along Main, Elm, and River and woodlands, Waltham is now an urban district of Streets near the mill. In the 1830s, Central Street was housing, industries and commercial businesses. Yet developed, and in the following decades, residential and some areas of the city have been preserved as open business growth continued westward along Main Street, space for all to enjoy.

Nicklas © Smithsonian Institution, 2003 NASM Archives Desind Collection 1997-0014 Herbert Stephen Desind Collection 109 Cubic Feet, 305 Boxes Biographical Note Herbert Stephen Desind was a Washington, DC area native born on January 15, 1945, raised in Silver Spring, Maryland and educated at the University of Maryland. He obtained his BA degree in Communications at Maryland in 1967, and began working in the local public schools as a science teacher. At the time of his death, in October 1992, he was a high school teacher and a freelance writer/lecturer on spaceflight. Desind also was an avid model rocketeer, specializing in using the Estes Cineroc, a model rocket with an 8mm movie camera mounted in the nose. To many members of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR), he was known as “Mr. Cineroc.” His extensive requests worldwide for information and photographs of rocketry programs even led to a visit from FBI agents who asked him about the nature of his activities. Mr. Desind used the collection to support his writings in NAR publications, and his building scale model rockets for NAR competitions. Desind also used the material in the classroom, and in promoting model rocket clubs to foster an interest in spaceflight among his students. Desind entered the NASA Teacher in Space program in 1985, but it is not clear how far along his submission rose in the selection process. He was not a semi-finalist, although he had a strong application.

  • <> CRONOLOGIA DE LOS SATÉLITES ARTIFICIALES DE LA
    1 SATELITES ARTIFICIALES. Capítulo 5º Subcap. 10 <> CRONOLOGIA DE LOS SATÉLITES ARTIFICIALES DE LA TIERRA. Esta es una relación cronológica de todos los lanzamientos de satélites artificiales de nuestro planeta, con independencia de su éxito o fracaso, tanto en el disparo como en órbita. Significa pues que muchos de ellos no han alcanzado el espacio y fueron destruidos. Se señala en primer lugar (a la izquierda) su nombre, seguido de la fecha del lanzamiento, el país al que pertenece el satélite (que puede ser otro distinto al que lo lanza) y el tipo de satélite; este último aspecto podría no corresponderse en exactitud dado que algunos son de finalidad múltiple. En los lanzamientos múltiples, cada satélite figura separado (salvo en los casos de fracaso, en que no llegan a separarse) pero naturalmente en la misma fecha y juntos. NO ESTÁN incluidos los llevados en vuelos tripulados, si bien se citan en el programa de satélites correspondiente y en el capítulo de “Cronología general de lanzamientos”. .SATÉLITE Fecha País Tipo SPUTNIK F1 15.05.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK F2 21.08.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 01 04.10.1957 URSS Experimental o tecnológico SPUTNIK 02 03.11.1957 URSS Científico VANGUARD-1A 06.12.1957 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 01 31.01.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1B 05.02.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 02 05.03.1958 USA Científico VANGUARD-1 17.03.1958 USA Experimental o tecnológico EXPLORER 03 26.03.1958 USA Científico SPUTNIK D1 27.04.1958 URSS Geodésico VANGUARD-2A
