Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions What Types of Companies Are on the "Don't Test" List? This list includes companies that make cosmetics, personal-care products, household-cleaning products, and other common household products. All companies that are included on PETA's "don't test" list have signed our statement of assurance verifying that they and their ingredient suppliers don't conduct, commission, pay for, or allow any tests on animals for ingredients, formulations, or finished products anywhere in the world and will not do so in the future. We encourage consumers to support the companies on this list, since we know that they're committed to making products without harming animals. Companies on the "Do Test" list should be shunned until they implement a policy that prohibits animal testing. The "do test" list doesn't include companies that manufacture only products that are required by law to be tested on animals (e.g., pharmaceuticals and garden chemicals). Although PETA is opposed to all animal testing, our focus in those instances is less on the individual companies and more on the regulatory agencies that require animal testing. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Legend V - The company makes or sells strictly vegan products.

During the decade from 1989–1998, NASA used two types of launch systems, one consisting of several families of expendable launch vehicles (ELV) and the second consisting of the world’s only partially reusable launch system—the Space Shuttle. A significant challenge NASA faced during the decade was the development of technologies needed to design and implement a new reusable launch system that would prove less expensive than the Shuttle. Although some attempts seemed promising, none succeeded. This chapter addresses most subjects relating to access to space and space transportation. It discusses and describes ELVs, the Space Shuttle in its launch vehicle function, and NASA’s attempts to develop new launch systems. Tables relating to each launch vehicle’s characteristics are included. The other functions of the Space Shuttle—as a scientific laboratory, staging area for repair missions, and a prime element of the Space Station program—are discussed in the next chapter, Human Spaceflight. This chapter also provides a brief review of launch systems in the past decade, an overview of policy relating to launch systems, a summary of the management of NASA’s launch systems programs, and tables of funding data. The Last Decade Reviewed (1979–1988) From 1979 through 1988, NASA used families of ELVs that had seen service during the previous decade. -

Sounding Rockets 2013 Annual Report
National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA Sounding Rockets Annual Report 2013 The NASA Sounding Rockets Program has closed another highly successful op- erational year with the completion of 19 successful flights. As of October 2013, the program has had 100% success on 38 flights over a period of 24 months. This is an impressive accomplishment. The scientific teams, the technical and administrative sounding rocket staff, and the launch ranges are to be congratu- lated on a job well done! This year involved flights from Wallops Flight Facility (Virginia), White Sands Missile Range (New Mexico), the Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands), and Poker Flat Research Range (Alaska). The Kwajalein campaign involved four rockets designed to probe the equatorial ionosphere and gain a better understanding of plasma energies and particle dynamics af- fecting the Earth. Multiple telescope missions were flown from White Sands Missile Range to study the Sun, the interstellar medium, and distant galaxies. Message from the Chief Message Flights from Wallops and Alaska have furthered our understanding of how the Phil Eberspeaker Earth and Sun interact. With every flight, NASA added to the body of scien- Chief, Sounding Rockets Program Office tific knowledge that will help unravel a host of scientific mysteries. The Sounding Rockets Program also continued to cultivate young minds by offering two university-level flight opportunities. Approximately 250 students from universities around the country had the opportunity to fly experiments aboard two-stage sounding rockets in 2013. The Sounding Rockets Program once again provided a unique teacher training workshop known as WRATS. With the knowledge obtained from this experience, teachers returned to the classroom with exciting options for enhancing their STEM curriculum. -

ALTAIR - Design & Progress on the Space Launch Vehicle Design
DOI: 10.13009/EUCASS2017-575 7TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) ALTAIR - Design & Progress on the Space Launch Vehicle Design Cédric Dupont*, Andrea Tromba*, Bastien Haemmerli**, Eduard Diez*** , Giulio Molinari****, Christoph Karl**** * Bertin Technologies, France – [email protected], [email protected] **NAMMO Raufoss AS, P.O. Box 162, NO-2831 Raufoss, Norway – [email protected] *** GTD Sistemas de Información S.A, Spain - [email protected] ***** ETH Zürich, Switzerland – [email protected], [email protected] Abstract ALTAIR is an innovative air-launch system consisting of a reusable unmanned aircraft carrier, an expendable launch vehicle and a cost-effective ground segment. The autonomous aircraft brings the launcher at altitude; following the release, the launcher boosts the payload to the intended orbit. This paper presents the launcher design at the project mid-term. Primary aims of the development are risk mitigation, cost savings, reliability and high performance. The project leverages collaborative engineering, design-to-cost techniques and multidisciplinary design optimization strategies. The resulting design utilizes low-cost hybrid propulsion, lightweight composite structures, innovative avionics and a smart multi-mission upper-stage to simultaneously attain all goals. 1. Introduction The market of satellite launches will drastically change in the coming decade. While being nowadays monopolised by the needs of massive and expensive satellites, requiring heavy launchers of the size of the Proton M, Delta IV or Ariane 5, it is foreseen that another product will take a large share of the global market: small satellites in the 50-150 kg range. This growth will be mainly driven by two factors. -
