Office for Metropolitan History
Ergonomic chairs for your office in Auckland? The Lisa Office tools have an unusual copy control scheme. The work is already underway, and both Chrysler and NASA have created several “project teams” that include engineers from each entity. I get that some people prefer to work in a quiet environment so that they’re allowed to just get on with their work. NASA was pretty pumped about their decision to award Boeing and SpaceX with contracts to bring human spaceflight back to the U.S., but a new internal audit shows they might not want to get over the Moon about it just yet. From jet-shoes to astronaut food, we’ve chosen some of the best or you.Left: The sombrero-topped hombres picture here are the Apollo 11 astronauts being swarmed by thousands at a 1969 parade in Mexico City during the world tour that followed their trip to the moon. And then there is the interesting story of how Ireland’s goodwill moon rock ended up in a municipal dump. The thing to keep in mind is that there are A LOT of fun things to do in Seabrook TX for everyone in the family.
Believe it or not, there is a great deal of NASA technology in your everyday life! This isn’t the first time we’ve featured Santa’s space technology interests. Under a three-year deal announced today, the struggling automaker and the nation’s space agency will develop and share technologies in composite materials, wireless technology and battery systems. Announcements at the October 1987 International Society of Wang User’s (ISWU) conference make it clear that future versions of OIS and Alliance OFFICE will be maintenance releases only (see “ISWU Report,” ACCESS, January 1987, page 37). Because the VS is Wang’s flagship product and the major platform for OFFICE, our Special Report focuses on VS OFFICE. NASA recently spent several months researching new design ideas to make helicopters quieter and more efficient. The work could not only make things quieter on the ground, but could lead to faster helicopters that are able to carry a bigger payload.
A helicopters main rotor blades are constantly twisting and turning during flight. Now people are realizing you can have much smaller, much simpler robots that can work together and achieve a task. Despite the high tech research that takes place in the facility much of what is shown to visitors makes even the most complicated subjects accessible. If someone asks us how much 8 times 8 is, then we will answer it immediately 64 but if someone asks us how much is 13 times 17, we will be swept away on our forehead and we will be confused in multiplying it. When it reaches President Barack Obama’s box at the end of the parade route, spacesuited astronaut Rex Walheim will detach from the vehicle, carrying the American flag. Nasa is wary of describing the mission on wheels as a bug hunt, for fear of disappointing the American taxpayers. Astronaut Peggy Whitson has officially spent more time in outer space than any other American. Using a High-Altitude Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit Sounding Radiometer, or HAMSR in official NASA acronymese, the Global Hawk is able to look down into the eye of the storm to the sea surface and compare different layers in relatively high resolution and in real time.
This MODIS image (taken from the Aqua satellite) shows both the plume heading out over the Bering Sea and also the the extent of the ash fall on the Peninsula – along with the deposits from pyroclastic flows or lahars (most likely) on the west (left) side of the volcano. Because hurricanes use warm, moist air as fuel, they form over warm ocean waters near the equator. However, they are power hungry, and their use is limited. What kinds of strategy could you use for space-pong? It’s almost a year since Microsoft announced that it was opening a pair of Azure data centres in Australia in order to offer local organisations the option of keeping their information in Australia. As I write this, the launches have just happened so pictures from the experiment and launches are not available yet and video has become available as I write and NASA is reporting some information via Facebook and Twitter as fast as they can and I am sure some more impressive photos and videos will be available soon.
