Wilkins2 1NOAA/NESDIS/National Centers for Environmental Information, Asheville, NC 28801, USA 2Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites – North Carolina (CICS-NC), North Carolina State University, Asheville, NC 5 28801, USA Correspondence to: Kenneth R. Knapp ([email protected]) Abstract. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series is operated by the U. S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). While in operation since the 1970s, the current series (GOES 8- 15) has been operational since 1994. This document describes the Gridded Satellite (GridSat) data, which provides GOES data 10 in a modern format. Four steps describe the conversion of original GOES data to GridSat data: 1) temporal resampling to produce files with evenly spaced time steps, 2) spatial remapping to produce evenly spaced gridded data (0.04° latitude), 3) calibrating the original data and storing brightness temperatures for infrared channels and reflectance for the visible channel, and 4) calculating spatial variability to provide extra information that can help identify clouds. The GridSat data are provided on two separate domains: GridSat-GOES provides hourly data for the Western Hemisphere (spanning the entire GOES domain) 15 and GridSat-CONUS covers the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) every 15 minutes. Dataset reference: doi:10.7289/V5HM56GM 1 Introduction NOAA has used the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) series since 1975 to monitor weather.

  • Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space
    SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space December 1983 NTIS order #PB84-181437 Recommended Citation: SALYUT: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space–A Technical Mere- orandum (Washington, D. C.: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA- TM-STI-14, December 1983). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 83-600624 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword As the other major spacefaring nation, the Soviet Union is a subject of interest to the American people and Congress in their deliberations concerning the future of U.S. space activities. In the course of an assessment of Civilian Space Stations, the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has undertaken a study of the presence of Soviets in space and their Salyut space stations, in order to provide Congress with an informed view of Soviet capabilities and intentions. The major element in this technical memorandum was a workshop held at OTA in December 1982: it was the first occasion when a significant number of experts in this area of Soviet space activities had met for extended unclassified discussion. As a result of the workshop, OTA prepared this technical memorandum, “Salyut: Soviet Steps Toward Permanent Human Presence in Space. ” It has been reviewed extensively by workshop participants and others familiar with Soviet space activities. Also in December 1982, OTA wrote to the U. S. S. R.’s Ambassador to the United States Anatoliy Dobrynin, requesting any information concerning present and future Soviet space activities that the Soviet Union judged could be of value to the OTA assess- ment of civilian space stations.

  • Fast Solar Wind Monitor (BMSW): Description and First Results
    Space Sci Rev (2013) 175:165–182 DOI 10.1007/s11214-013-9979-4 Fast Solar Wind Monitor (BMSW): Description and First Results Jana Šafránková · Zdenekˇ Nemeˇ cekˇ · Lubomír Prechˇ · Georgy Zastenker · Ivo Cermákˇ · Lev Chesalin · Arnošt Komárek · Jakub Vaverka · Martin Beránek · Jiríˇ Pavl˚u · Elena Gavrilova · Boris Karimov · Arkadii Leibov Received: 4 September 2012 / Accepted: 19 March 2013 / Published online: 6 April 2013 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 Abstract Monitoring of solar wind parameters is a key problem of the Space Weather pro- gram. The paper presents a description of a novel fast solar wind monitor (Bright Monitor of the Solar Wind, BMSW) and the first results of its measurements of plasma moments with a time resolution ranging from seconds to 31 ms. The method of the fast monitoring is based on simultaneous measurements of the total ion flux and ion integral energy spectrum by six nearly identical Faraday cups (FCs). Three of them are dedicated to determination of the ion flow direction, whereas other three equipped with control grids supplied by a re- tarding potential are used for a determination of the density, temperature, and speed of the plasma flow. The paper introduces not only the measuring methods, the FCs design, and modes of operation, but brings the examples of time series of measurements and their com- parison with the observations of other spacecraft as well as the first results of an analysis of frequency spectra of solar wind fluctuations within the ion kinetic scale, examples of rapid measurements at the ramp of an interplanetary shock and investigations of fast variations of alpha particle content.

FL-8-B Location: Hangar Road, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Industrial Area, Brevard County, Florida. USGS Cape Canaveral, Florida, Quadrangle. Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: E 540610 N 3151547, Zone 17, NAD 1983. Date of Construction: 1959 Present Owner: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Present Use: Home to NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP) and the Launch Vehicle Data Center (LVDC). 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.
