Johnson Space Center Houston, Texas 77058 National Aeronautics and Space Administration SCOTT CARPENTER NASA ASTRONAUT (FORMER) Scott Carpenter, a dynamic pioneer of modern exploration, has the unique distinction of being the first human ever to penetrate both inner and outer space, thereby acquiring the dual title, Astronaut/Aquanaut. He was born in Boulder, Colorado, on May 1, 1925, the son of research chemist Dr. M. Scott Carpenter and Florence Kelso Noxon Carpenter. He attended the University of Colorado from 1945 to 1949 and received a bachelor of science degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Carpenter was commissioned in the U.S. Navy in 1949. He was given flight training at Pensacola, Florida and Corpus Christi, Texas and designated a Naval Aviator in April, 1951. During the Korean War he served with patrol Squadron Six, flying anti-submarine, ship surveillance, and aerial mining, and ferret missions in the Yellow Sea, South China Sea, and the Formosa Straits. He attended the Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River, Maryland, in 1954 and was subsequently assigned to the Electronics Test Division of the Naval Air Test Center, also at Patuxent. In that assignment he flew tests in every type of naval aircraft, including multi- and single-engine jet and propeller-driven fighters, attack planes, patrol bombers, transports, and seaplanes. From 1957 to 1959 he attended the Navy General Line School and the Navy Air Intelligence School and was then assigned as Air Intelligence Officer to the Aircraft Carrier, USS Hornet. Carpenter was selected as one of the original seven Mercury Astronauts on April 9, 1959.

His thesis is titled: Pressure and Hemoglobin Oxygenation. “Wells began diving at the age of 14, after making his own surface-supplied diving system out of a point sprayer and a motor scooter engine. Two years later, he made an oxygen rebreather from war surplus parts by following diagrams in the U.S. Navy Diving Manual, and by the age of 19, he was teaching scuba classes at the college level. During his 30-career, he worked as a medical school professor and research physiologist, as science coordinator for NOAA’s Manned Underwater Science and Technology Office, as director of NOAA Diving Programs, and finally as the director of NOAA’s EDU and Dive Programs. Dr. Wells is known for having lived on the ocean floor in saturation habitats longer and in more different systems than any other diver…he has dived in numerous locations from the Pacific to the Arctic.
  • Scott Carpenter Is a True American Hero

    Scott Carpenter Is a True American Hero

    Scott Carpenter Bio / Press Scott Carpenter is a true American hero. The first human being to pioneer the frontiers of both inner and outer space, he bears the dual title of Astronaut/Aquanaut. Chosen from a field of 508 military test pilots, Scott Carpenter is one of the original seven NASA Project Mercury astronauts. Commander Carpenter is the second American to orbit the Earth. His 3-orbit, 5-hour mission concluded with a spectacular manual landing after a retrofire malfunction forced a 250- mile overshoot of the planned landing zone. The result: the Aurora 7 spacecraft was outside NASA’s line-of-sight radio range, rendering communication with Cape Canaveral impossible for almost an hour. Anyone who remembers the excitement of the space race of the 1960s will recall the May 24, 1962 television and radio news reports speculating that the astronaut was lost in the Atlantic and his fate unknown. After a long and dramatic 55 minutes, the good news was heralded that Carpenter was discovered alive and well, having emerged from the nose of his spacecraft and settled into a life raft. He was recovered and safely brought aboard the USS Intrepid—two hours after splashdown. Congratulatory calls followed from President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and the country breathed a mutual sigh of relief. Scott Carpenter was born in Boulder, Colorado on May 1, 1925. He received a bachelor of science degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the University of Colorado, and was commissioned in the U.S. Navy in 1949. This was followed by flight training and service in the Korean War.
  • Going to Extremes NEEMO Case Study

    Going to Extremes NEEMO Case Study

    Going to Extremes NEEMO Case Study In human space flight, crew preparation is paramount. NASA employs various tools in order to best prepare its crews; simulation and simulators, training for specific extravehicular activity (EVA) tasks in its Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, and survival training. Apollo astronauts participated in desert wilderness survival to hone their skills. NASA has a long history of using terrestrial based activities as space flight analogs to advance science, test hardware and techniques, and develop crew leadership skills and team solidarity. The NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) is a unique analog that merges elements to develop leadership abilities and build team cohesion with the execution of genuine mission objectives required for human space flight missions, all in an extreme environment. During NEEMO missions, astronauts become aquanauts and simulate living on a spacecraft, testing EVA techniques and tools for future space missions. Crews build leadership skills in an extreme setting, executing relevant mission objectives, allowing the astronaut- aquanaut to develop a genuine mission rhythm. What lessons can be learned from this extreme analog, and how are they being applied to current and future exploration objectives? 1 Going to Extremes NEEMO Case Study Aquanaut A Connection between Space and the Sea A diver who remains at depth underwater One of NASA’s Mercury 7, America’s first class of for longer than 24 hours. astronauts became the connector between space and the sea.

    SEALAB II Scheduled to Begin

    SEALAB II scheduled to begin June 25, 1965 FACT SHEET SEALAB II PROGRAM: SEALAB II, the second phase of the Navy's "Man-in-the-sea" program, is scheduled to begin in the middle of August. Working in the area around their undersea quarters, situated on the ocean bottom at a depth of 210 feet, one-half mile off La Jolla, California, the aquanauts will carry out experimental salvage techniques, engage in oceanographic and marine biological research, and undergo a series of physiological and human performance tests. The undersea experiment will be conducted by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in collaboration with the Navy's Special Projects Office as part of the Deep Submergence Systems Program. SEALAB-I was conducted last year by ONR 30 miles off Bermuda when four Navy divers lived and work comfortably and safely at a depth of 193 feet for a period of 11 days. PERSONNEL: Two diving teams of ten men each, including civilian scientists as well as Navy divers, will occupy the 57-foot undersea habitat alternately during the 30 day experiment. Two of the men are scheduled to stay down for the entire 30 days. It is anticipated that Commander M. Scott Carpenter will be the leader of the first team. The astronaut, on loan from NASA, is presently directing the training of aquanaut candidates at the U.S. Navy Mine Defense Laboratory, Panama City, Florida. The teams will be named at a later date. EXPERIMENTS: An experimental salvage procedure will be used in the recovery of a Navy fighter aircraft to be sunk for this purpose.

    1 x 53 Sealab tells the mostly forgotten story of the U.S. Navy’s daring program that tested the limits of human endurance, revolutionized the way humans explored the ocean and laid the groundwork for undersea military missions to come, SEALAB based in part on the book SEALAB: America’s Forgotten Quest to Live and Work 1 x 53 on the Ocean Floor by Ben Hellwarth. In the spring of 1964, Scott Carpenter—already famous for being the contact second American to orbit the earth—was preparing for a new mission, not Tom Koch, Vice President into space as an astronaut but into the sea as one of the Navy’s newly-minted PBS International “aquanauts.” Divers who attempted to chart the ocean’s depths faced barriers 10 Guest Street that had thwarted humans for centuries: near total blackness, bone-jarring cold, Boston, MA 02135 USA and intense pressure that could disorient the mind and crush the body.

Their daring exploits were beginning to capture the nation’s pbsinternational.org attention, but a deadly tragedy would prematurely end their pioneering work. An audacious feat of engineering—a pressurized underwater habitat, complete with science labs and living quarters—Sealab aimed to prove that humans were capable of spending days or even months at a stretch living and working on the ocean floor. The project was led by George Bond, a former doctor from Appalachia turned naval pioneer who dreamed of pushing the limits of ocean exploration the same way that NASA was pushing the boundaries of space exploration.

    Master’s Thesis in Biology (60 ECTS) Field of Study: Marine Ecology Use of bubble flotation to improve copepod fisheries: Laboratory studies on the physical and behavioural interactions of Calanus finmarchicus and air bubbles Henrik Jeuthe Department of Aquatic BioSciences Norwegian College of Fishery Science University of Tromsø November 2008 Abstract The current study presents a novel approach to zooplankton harvest in the ocean, where copepods are lifted through the water column and concentrate them at the ocean surface. There they are harvested with a surface skimmer or shallow trawl. The method can potentially reduce fuel costs and unwanted by-catch compared to a conventional plankton trawl. The optimal bubble size for attachment to Calanus finmarchicus was determined to 125-225 µm. Attachment was found on 331 of 604 studied copepods (55%), and the majority (88%) had an attached air volume equal to a 50-300 µm bubble. The attachment ratio has been estimated to 20% for 275-400 µm bubbles, i.e. 20% collisions resulted in attachment (N=40). Copepod behaviour, i.e. escape jumping, is the major cause for detachment. Female C. finmarchicus are very resilient jumpers, performing on average 95 jumps, during 2 minutes, before becoming passive. Males are significantly less active. Bubble driven upwelling contributed more than attachment to lifting copepods through the water column. An attached 500 µm bubble gives the copepod an estimated rise velocity of 4 cm/s, while upwelling velocities (Vup) of up to 35 cm/s were created in bubble plumes, 30 cm above the bubbler. 0,23 The relation between air flow (Q) and created upwelling flow was determined to Vup~Q for small 0,40 bubbles (mean size ~150µm) and Vup~Q for large bubbles (mean size ~1500 µm).

Annotations are included for many publications so that the reader can learn a lot about the Canyons without chasing down individual publications. The bibliography is arranged from the most recent to the oldest. To assist in reading this bibliography, some background information on the canyons is first provided. Most of the publications cited in this bibliography are available in the collection of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library, which is open to the public. Scripps Canyon (above right) is a narrow gorge about one mile long with three main branches: North, Sumner and South Branches. All three heads can be traced into the coastal cliffs as incised land canyons. Scripps Canyon is cut into calcareous and noncalcareous mudstone and sandstone of the Eocene Ardath Shale (formerly Rose Canyon Shale), including a large amount of conglomerate, as seen in the sea cliffs to the north. Scripps Canyon has precipitous, narrow, sometimes overhanging rocky walls nearly its entire length, with some sections so narrow that submersibles cannot descend to the bottom. Canyon walls can have scoured and grooved surfaces under the overhanging walls, showing that active erosion is taking place.
