Kittinger,Craig Ryan,Neil Armstrong | 272 pages | 16 Apr 2011 | University of New Mexico Press | 9780826348043 | English | Albuquerque, NM, United States Joseph Kittinger - Wikipedia If you're in a car driving down the road and you close your eyes, you have no idea what your speed is. It's the same thing if you're free falling from space. There are no signposts. You know you are going very fast, but you don't feel it. You don't have a mph wind blowing on you. I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet. Kittinger set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest-duration drogue-fall four minutes , and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere. His records for highest parachute jump and fastest velocity stood for 52 years, until they were broken in by Felix Baumgartner. Kittinger appeared as himself on the January 7, episode of the game show To Tell the Truth. He received two votes. He and the astronomer William C. In , after returning to the operational air force, Kittinger was approached by civilian amateur parachutist Nick Piantanida for assistance on Piantanida's Strato Jump project, an effort to break the previous freefall records of both Kittinger and Soviet Air Force officer Yevgeni Andreyev. Kittinger refused to participate in the effort, believing Piantanida's approach to the project was too reckless. Kittinger later served three combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War , flying a total of combat missions. Kittinger was shot down on May 11, , just before the end of his third tour of duty. Reich, Lieutenant Colonel Kittinger was leading a flight of Phantoms approximately 5 miles 8. Kittinger and his wingman were chasing a MiG when Kittinger's F-4 was hit by an air-to-air missile from another MiG that damaged the plane's starboard wing and set the aircraft on fire. Kittinger and Reich ejected a few miles from Thai Nguyen and were soon captured and taken to the city of Hanoi. During the same engagement, Kittinger's wingman, Captain S. Nichols, shot down the MiG they had been chasing. Kittinger was put through rope torture [ citation needed ] soon after his arrival at the POW compound and this made a lasting impression on him. Kittinger was the senior ranking officer SRO among the newer prisoners of war, i. In Kittinger's autobiography " Come Up and Get Me " by Kittinger and Craig Ryan , Kittinger emphasized being very serious about maintaining the military structure he considered essential to survival. Kittinger and Reich were returned to American hands during Operation Homecoming on March 28, , and they continued their air force careers, with Kittinger having been promoted to full colonel while in captivity. Kittinger accumulated 7, flying hours in the air force, including combat flying hours during three tours during the Vietnam War. In addition, he has flown over 9, hours in various civilian aircraft. Kittinger received the following awards and decorations during his USAF career: [26]. Kittinger retired from the air force as a colonel in and initially went to work for Martin Marietta now Lockheed Martin Corporation in Orlando, Florida. Still interested in ballooning, Kittinger set a gas balloon world distance record for the AA size class since broken of 3, Kittinger also participated in the Gordon Bennett Cup in ballooning in ranked third and ranked 12th. As of , Kittinger has been assisting balloonist Jonathan Trappe's attempt to be the first to cross the Atlantic by cluster balloon. Texas Governor Rick Perry cited Kittinger's work, as did the Texas state senate with a special resolution presented during the dedication ceremony attended by Kittinger and his wife, Sherry. The Colonel Joseph W. Kittinger was honored at a ceremony in Caribou, Maine , the launch point for his solo trans-Atlantic balloon flight. He also served as the guest of honor at the community's sesquicentennial celebration. On February 20, , Kittinger visited his alma mater , the University of Florida , and spoke to over students and faculty about his role in the Red Bull Stratos Mission. Kittinger, a UF alumnus, told his story of when he took the ,foot jump from a high-altitude balloon. Located on the southwest corner of the Orlando Executive Airport , at the corner of Crystal Lake Drive and South Street, the park was named in Kittinger's honor, but was temporarily closed and partially demolished circa — in order to create a stormwater runoff retention area to permit a highway expansion project of the State Road East-West Expressway. In March , the park was reopened at its previous location. The National Museum of the U. Disassembled in Texas and transported via two semi- trailers over a period of several days, the aircraft arrived in Orlando on July 22, , and underwent a total restoration by a team of volunteers at Orlando Executive Airport. Following restoration, it was subsequently moved to its current location on the airport, remounted on its new pylon, and formally dedicated on December 14, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Red Bull Stratos camera system configuration is unique. Most cameras required modification or special electrical and thermal systems to function in near space. To achieve a live broadcast from 24 miles above the Earth, an optical ground tracking camera system was developed with features ranging from infrared to high-definition cameras. The company has pioneered visual documentation systems for the private and commercial space programs advancing into the 21st century. FlightLine offers zero-gravity qualified crews and HD cameras for use in the cold vacuum of space, as well as housings that allow traditional motion picture cameras to operate in that hostile environment. The single-engine helicopter has been modified with a custom mission package that includes:. With additional seating capacity, the helicopter typically also carries a still photographer to capture even more images for the mission. Together, the two have more than 30 years of experience in film and television aviation. A former U. He also serves as a demonstration pilot, including performances with the Red Bull Air Force demonstration team. Airborne Images is a full-service aerial production company that has provided service to Red Bull Stratos that began during pressure suit and parachute system development and continues through test and training jumps to the final mission. In addition, the Los Angeles-based company serves the motion picture industry worldwide with helicopters, airplanes, pilots, gyro-stabilized camera systems, aerial directors of photography, stunt coordinators and a comprehensive range of additional aerial production resources. The entire communications solution for Red Bull Stratos is provided by industry leader Riedel Communications. The ground-based communications system encompasses two main applications:. Riedel provides the communications infrastructure on-site. Artist is a fiber-based communications solution that offers highly flexible, reliable decentralized and communications in broadcast-quality audio. Furthermore, the on-site digital radio network MOTOTRBO , with its devices and ten channels, is not only provided by Riedel but also seamlessly integrated into the wired matrix intercom system. This means radios can directly talk to users e. MediorNet is a fiber-based real-time network for HD video, audio, communications and data signals that also provides integrated processing, for extraordinarily efficient installation and maintenance. The Red Bull Stratos mission uses 24 MediorNet nodes that are installed in a redundant ring topology to provide maximum reliability. In case a connection between two nodes gets lost, the signals will still be distributed due to the redundant topology. The connection to the flightline where the balloon and capsule are launched is also realized with the MediorNet system — in this case with two MediorNet Compact frames that are connected to the main system. It also distributes the broadcast audio between Mission Control and recording. Furthermore, the data of the telemetry used for other broadcast applications is transported via MediorNet. In addition to the video transport, MediorNet also serves as a network backbone for the on-site Internet connection, providing Ethernet connectivity in all areas of the compound. Similar to the setup on the ground, Riedel is responsible for the capsule communications system as well as for the video transmission solutions. A specially developed communications system provides reliable communication between Felix Baumgartner and Mission Control from pre-launch through the entire ascent. This system enables control of the video recording and works as a comprehensive digital video router — not unlike having a mini OB truck inside the capsule. It offers complete remote control of the whole video system and features three video downlinks that can be dynamically assigned to the selected cameras. Eight Riedel team members contribute to the mission firsthand at the launch site in Roswell, New Mexico, led by Matthias Leister, head of broadcast solutions, and Jacqueline Voss, system engineer.

  • Energy Drinks and Their Availability to Children and Youth
    ENERGY DRINKS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE SOCIAL AFFAIRS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BILL S-228 James Shepherd June 5, 2107 Contact: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Red Bull was the original energy drink which was introduced in Austria, in 1987. Red Bull was introduced to the United States in 1997 and to Canada in 2004. Since then, hundreds of brands of energy drinks and concentrated energy shots have flooded the marketplace worldwide. They are one of the fastest growing segments of the beverage market. Energy drink ingredients include caffeine, taurine, vitamins and in most cases sugar. The caffeine concentration permitted in energy drinks in Canada is 200-400 mg/litre which on the store shelf amounts to 80mg in a small can, up to a maximum of 180mg in larger container sizes. Energy drinks are often confused with other beverages, including sports drinks. While sports drinks such as Gatorade are formulated to hydrate the body, and do not contain caffeine or other stimulants, energy drinks can lead to dehydration. There are a number of caffeinated cross-over products on store shelves, which add to the confusion between the products. MY SON’S TRAGIC STORY On January 6, 2008, my 15-year-old son Brian was competing in a day-long paintball tournament. Around noon, Red Bull representatives came into the venue, where many individuals under the age of 18 were engaged in sport. They handed out free samples of energy drinks and according to police; Brian was witnessed drinking one of these samples.

  • Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project
    Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project Marc Thomson Kianna Nguyen Jessica Tobey Logan Shapiro Introduction On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first human being to break the sound barrier with his body. He jumped from a height of 38,969 meters at the edge of the atmosphere and reached a maximum speed of 833.9 miles per hour (372.8 m/s). His fall lasted 9 minutes and 3 seconds, setting a world record for the longest duration of a jump ever recorded (“Red Bull Stratos Summary Report”). This project will explore how Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier and how his velocity and drag force varied with distance and time. The model presented in this project simulates the jump and allows us to estimate the duration of flight, the time in which Baumgartner pulled the parachute, and the time in which he broke the sound barrier. The conclusion of this project is that Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier due to the variation of the speed of sound depending on temperature, and the small amount of drag force he experienced due to the thinner atmosphere close to where he began his jump. Our Model The following variables will be used to describe different properties of our model. 퐹푑 : Drag Force g(y) : Gravitational Acceleration 휌(푦): Density According to the International Atmosphere Model (built into MatLab) G : Universal Gravitational Constant 퐶푑: Drag Coefficent y : Elevation (or Altitude) A : Cross-Sectional Area 푑푦 푅푒 : Radius of the Earth and y’(t): Velocity 푑푡 푚푒 : Mass of the Earth 푑2푦 : Acceleration 푑푡2 w: Weight m : Mass of Baumgartner In order to find Baumgartner’s speed as a function of time, we begin with Newton’s second law in which net force is equal to mass times acceleration.
