Angels Land in Vero from Far and Wide to Gather at Brevard Reunion 35 cents VOL. 2/ISSUE 28 THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2014 Vets flock Angels land in Vero from far and wide to gather at Brevard reunion Mary Kemper STAFF WRITER [email protected] It was a weekend for meeting up with old friends, enjoying good food and music — but most importantly, paying trib- ute to fellow veterans. Tens of thousands attended the Florida Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard Reunion in Melbourne’s Wickham Park through Sunday, May 4, a gathering that marked its 27th year. Though the opening ceremony took place on Saturday, May 3, events began on April 27 when the Traveling Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Wall was emplaced on the park grounds. On April 28, the presentation of wreaths was made, and the opening ceremony for the Wall was conducted. Live music and a wide as- sortment of vendors filled the days until Saturday’s opening ceremony, which included a Massing of the Colors. Mitch Kloorfain/chief photographer U.S. Navy Blue Angles crew chief Bill Asbury signed autographs for the aerobatic flight team’s fan base at the Vero Beach Air Show Saturday, May, 10 in Vero Beach.

(Editor’s note: See previous cover- age of Morris in Veteran Voice) Also on Saturday was a “Last Patrol” re-enactment, in authen- tic uniforms and equipment. On Sunday, a church service was held, and the closing ceremo- ny was held at the Traveling Wall. The Wall was, throughout, the centerpiece of the reunion. There was never a moment when peo- ple weren’t viewing it. Volunteers helped locate loved ones’ location on the Wall, and handed out complimentary sheets of thin paper and pencils so people could make “rubbings” of their loved ones’ names. Greg Welsh is the Wall manag- er for the Vietnam Veterans of Brevard. The former Air Force master ser- geant and Vietnam veteran said the VVB “created the Wall from funds we raised at one of our reunions. “We introduced it to the public for the first time in April of 2006,” he said. “Since then, we’ve trav- eled the whole country with it.” It’s a pretty big job.

  • A Case Study of the Failure on Apollo 13 Based on TMX-65270, Report of Apollo 13 Review Board
    A Case Study of the Failure on Apollo 13 Based on TMX-65270, Report of Apollo 13 Review Board Prepared by Brenda Lindley Anderson, QD34 1 ABSTRACT The dramatic journey of the crippled Apollo 13 vehicle has been heavily documented and popularized. Many people know there was an explosion in the service module which caused the vehicle to lose its oxygen supply. Less well known is the set of circumstances which led to the explosion. This paper examines the manufacturing, processing and testing history of oxygen tank #2, detailing the additive effects which caused the oxygen to ignite and to overpressure the tank. 2 The Apollo 13 Flight Apollo 13 was to be the third manned lunar landing. The selected landing site was in the hilly uplands of the Fra Mauro lunar region. A scientific package of five experiments was to be emplaced on the lunar surface. Also, the landing crew was to gather a third set of selenological samples from the lunar surface to be studied by scientists on earth. However, on the third flight day, an explosion of oxygen tank 2 in bay 4 of the Service Module (SM) changed the scientific exploration flight into an outstanding rescue mission. Design of the Apollo Oxygen Tank Assembly The oxygen tank of the Apollo Service Module (SM) is constructed of concentric inner and outer shells, containing a vacuum between shells to reduce heat leak. A dome caps the tank providing containment for the fluid, electrical and signal paths into and out of the tank. See figure 1. Figure 1 Service Module Oxygen Tank 3 The gap between the tank shells also contains insulating material.

Memorial Tributes: Volume 17 ABE SILVERSTEIN 1908–2001 Elected in 1967 “For aeronautical and space systems.” BY ROBERT S. ARRIGHI SUBMITTED BY THE NAE HOME SECRETARY ABE SILVERSTEIN was a visionary engineer and leader whose accomplishments during his 40-year career continue to impact the aerospace community. He was instrumental in the design of a massive subsonic wind tunnel (the Full-Scale Tunnel), study of complete engine systems, development of the nation’s early jet engines and ramjets, creation of large supersonic wind tunnels, use of liquid hydrogen as a propellant, the foundation of NASA, formation of the Mercury and Apollo Programs, the success of the Centaur second- stage rocket, and a great deal more. He excelled at instantly grasping the essence of a problem, proposing a likely solution, and delegating the task to the experts to resolve. His off-the- cuff acumen and decisiveness inspired both fear and intense loyalty from staff and colleagues. Abe Silverstein died on June 1, 2001, at the age of 92. Abe was born on September 15, 1908, in Terre Haute, Indiana, to Joseph and Eva Silverstein. His father advised him at a young age to pursue engineering, and Abe claimed that his mother’s insistence on perfection in his school work provided him with the mindset required for future space engineering. Abe graduated from Terre Haute’s Rose Polytechnic Institute in 1929 with a BS in mechanical engineering. He returned to earn a degree as a mechanical engineering professional in 1934.
