    NNAS Lecture 1st February in the Town Close Auditorium, Norwich Castle Museum. Dr Richard Maguire, Senior Lecturer in Public History, School of History, University of East Anglia, on the Cold War Anglia project. Once again the projection equipment let us down so Richard had to begin his lecture without illustrations but gallant efforts by Sophie Cabot eventually enabled the pictures to be shown. His theme was the culture of the Cold War and he gave a brief outline of the early UK weapons programme to combat the threat from Soviet Union bombers and to launch retaliatory attacks. He chose four locations to illustrate its effects on the landscape of East Anglia. (a) RAF Bawburgh nr. Norwich (b) RAF Feltwell (c) RAF Barnham nr. Thetford (d) RAF Orford Ness in Suffolk All of these were highly classified in their time, which means accurate details about them are still sketchy. Bawburgh This was a virgin site. pristine farmland, before it became part of a radar defence network, imposed by Government without being integrated into the local community. It altered centuries of agricultural use and the surrounding landscape. Whereas Bawburgh pre-WWII was in the middle of nowhere now it is adjacent to the A47 and filled in with development. The original station was part of the 1950s Rotor Radar System to modernise the United Kingdom’s radar defences. At one time 40 airforce personnel worked there but little is left except an underground bunker with a bungalow built over the top (a similar example exists at Trimmingham). The main guardhouse bungalow. Feltwell The airfield was part of a network built in the late 1930s with a curved array of hangers, similar in layout to many of the other RAF airfields of the period (for example RAF Marham, RAF Watton and RAF West Raynham).

    Korean War Timeline America's Forgotten War By Kallie Szczepanski, About.com Guide At the close of World War II, the victorious Allied Powers did not know what to do with the Korean Peninsula. Korea had been a Japanese colony since the late nineteenth century, so westerners thought the country incapable of self-rule. The Korean people, however, were eager to re-establish an independent nation of Korea.

  • 53Rd IAA HISTORY of ASTRONAUTICS SYMPOSIUM (E4) “Can You Believe They Put a Man on the Moon?” the Apollo Program
    70th International Astronautical Congress 2019 Paper ID: 48885 oral 53rd IAA HISTORY OF ASTRONAUTICS SYMPOSIUM (E4) \Can you believe they put a man on the moon?" The Apollo Program. (3) Author: Mr. John Goodman Odyssey Space Research, United States, [email protected] DORIS CHANDLER AND THE SATURN V GUIDANCE DEBATE Abstract Doris Chandler was a NASA engineer who led the team of men who developed the on-board guidance algorithm used by the Saturn launch vehicles. She received a B.S. in Mathematics from Tulane University with a Phi Beta Kappa Key and joined the Aeroballistics Laboratory at the Redstone Arsenal in 1953. As a NASA employee at the Marshall Space Flight Center in the 1960s, she served in three management positions: Deputy Chief of the Guidance Theory Section, Chief of the Guidance Application Section, and Chief of the Applied Guidance and Flight Mechanics Branch. In the early 1960s, Doris Chandler's team developed one of two competing mathematical concepts for Saturn guidance. The advent of flyable digital computers permitted the development of software- based guidance algorithms. Reference trajectory guidance methods employing analog computing, used for ballistic missiles in the 1950s, were not suitable for new space launch vehicles like the Saturn V. The Polynomial Guidance Mode (PGM), championed by Peenem¨undeveteran Rudolf Hoelker, used guidance polynomials derived from curve fits of nominal and dispersed optimal trajectories computed using the calculus of variations. PGM required extensive pre-flight computation but resulted in simple on-board software. Doris Chandler's team developed the Iterative Guidance Mode (IGM) based on an idea of Peenem¨unde veteran Helmut Horn that involved Lawden's linear tangent steering law.
