妖精的旋律

Posted on by 卖女孩的小火柴

《Elfen Lied》在感觉应该算是比较经典的一部动漫，虽然初看好像不是很和谐，因为血腥、暴力等原因，优酷等视频网站上面也不能直接看，但是并不影响很多人的喜欢(including me)。
现在的很多动漫都很浮躁啊，虽然画质什么的上去了，但是配乐绝对达不到这种飘然的感觉……嗯……这是别人说的。
记得刚看完的时候还在百度贴吧发了个帖子……写了点观后感： http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1990117460
因为在贴吧写了，就不重复说了。有兴趣的孩子可以去看看哟。
下面贴一首前奏钢琴曲：（本来是YouTube上的，但是你懂的，所以放YouKu上了）

  3. This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic
    job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you
    presented it. Too cool!

  5. naturally like your web-site but you have to check the spelling
    on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the
    reality nevertheless I’ll definitely come again again.

    1. Dia melihat wajah Mak Nab sedikit berubah. Hatinya berkecamuk!Cerpen : Tangisan Di Tanah Perkuburan Oleh : adrin malinaPanggilan telefon yang diterima Ustaz Kamal lewat malam semalam membawa berita yang kurang enak Segera huluran tangannya disambut oleh kedua orang kuat kampung itu dengan senyuman tersungging di bibir masing-masing. Semakin dekat dengannya. Aku lihat Solehah yang sudah mual dengan pemujukan pemuda itu. Ayah pula sibuk berkebun, Ya Allah, Mengenalinya aku tahu diamnya bererti mengiyakan. sekiranya aku berjumpa lagi dgn dia aku akan lari?

    2. The imaging spectrometer will work both in targeted and survey modes. It will target afew thousand selected areas for inspection at highest spatial resolution — 18 meters(60 feet) per pixel — and spectral resolution — 544 different wavelengths. It will spendmore of its time surveying the entire planet at resolutions of 100 to 200 meters (330 to660 feet) per pixel in and about 70 different spectral channels (“colors”). The surveywill find candidate sites for targeted inspection. The search for water-related mineralssuch as carbonates, clays and salts gets top priority for use of this instrument.Researchers are planning observations of sites such as smooth interiors of ancientcraters that may have held lakes and volcanic regions that may have produced hotsprings. They will also use the spectrometer to monitor seasonal changes in dust andice particles suspended in the atmosphere.

    4. Note: Launch has been rescheduled for Feb. 3. The following story was written prior to the delay.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The first probe to orbit another planet. A craft that gave mankind its only up-close look at Mercury. A robotic explorer that will encounter a star four million years from now. Dozens of satellites that expanded communications around the globe and bolstered American national security.These diverse missions are linked in history by launching from the same Cape Canaveral launch pad, which hosts its last Atlas rocket liftoff on Thursday, January 27. Complex 36 will see its final Atlas rocket launch on Thursday. Photo: Pat Corkery/Lockheed MartinBuilt in the early 1960s, launch pad 36B has supported 75 Atlas missions. Its finale launch will be a middle-of-the-night affair, with the exact time to be concealed until next week.The secrecy has been imposed by the launch’s customer — the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office. The NRO is the government agency responsible for operating the nation’s fleet of spy satellites.A countdown dress rehearsal was accomplished last Friday and the hush-hush payload was mounted atop the rocket Monday.The upcoming mission represents not only the last use of Complex 36 by Lockheed Martin but also retirement of the rocket-maker’s Atlas 3 booster. It’ll be the sixth flight for the rocket, which debuted in May 2000 and boasts a flawless success record.Atlas 3 was conceived as a short-lived, stepping-stone program between the older Atlas 2 series of rockets and the next-generation Atlas 5 vehicles. It safely introduced the Russian-designed RD-180 engine and later a stretched version of the Centaur upper stage that are vital parts of Atlas 5.Lockheed Martin retired the Atlas 2 family last August and now the Atlas 3 era’s conclusion leaves the company with the various Atlas 5 models — each able to launch cargos of different sizes and weights — to carry on the Atlas name that dates back a half-century. Atlas 5s are launched from the Cape’s Complex 41. The first Atlas 3 rocket blasts away from pad 36B in 2000. Photo: Pat Corkery/Lockheed MartinThe modern Atlas 5 is greatly different from the Atlas boosters of the early days. The first stage represents the biggest change with its rigid structure that replaces the “balloon” pressure-stabilized design that fades into history with Atlas 3.Atlas 5 is assembled in a nearby building atop a mobile launching platform and rolled to its pad at Complex 41 just hours before liftoff unlike any other Atlas. West Coast military launches of Atlas 5 from California’s Vandenberg Air Force Base, however, will use the more conventional method of putting the rocket stages together on the pad.Development of Atlas 5, spurred by the Air Force’s call for an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle, was aimed at creating a family of rockets that would be cheaper, easier to operate and offer higher reliability. So far, four Atlas 5 launches have occurred with successful outcomes since 2002.For the past two-and-a-half years, Atlas workers at Cape Canaveral have shuttled between Complex 36 and 41 as they prepped and launched the heritage boosters as well as Atlas 5. They will call Complex 41 their exclusive home after next week’s mission. The program’s Atlas 5-only era begins in March when a commercial communications satellite is set for launch. Pending a safety and environmental review, a new commercial rocket family will be Complex 36. Photo: Pat Corkery/Lockheed MartinOnce the Atlas 3 flies over the horizon, Lockheed Martin begins an extensive safing and deactivation process at Complex 36 after 145 launches from the two-pad site. Pad A was secured following the final Atlas 2AS rocket launch on August 31.Pad 36B, where the 18-story Atlas 3 currently stands, saw its first launch in August 1965 as an Atlas booster lofted a dynamic model of NASA’s Surveyor program. This very pad has served as the starting point for several historic exploration missions:Several Surveyors: These lunar explorers were designed to make soft landings on the moon as precursors to Apollo, including Surveyor 3 that was visited by the Apollo 12 crew two years later.Mariner 6: A robotic probe that flew past Mars in 1969, returning 75 pictures of the planet.Mariner 9: Became the first spacecraft to orbit another planet when it arrived at Mars in 1971. The probe mapped the Red Planet’s surface and captured the first sharp pictures of Mars’ polar caps, Valles Marineris, volcanoes and the moons Phobos and Deimos.Mariner 10: Launched in 1973, this was the first space probe to visit two planets. It flew past Venus – where it discovered evidence of rotating clouds – en route to the solar system’s innermost planet, Mercury. Mariner 10 gave the first and so far only up-close examination of Mercury when it made three encounters that found a thin atmosphere and magnetic field.Pioneer 11: After sailing past Jupiter, the probe became the first to explore Saturn and its majestic rings in 1979. Although communications with Pioneer 11 ceased in 1995 after leaving the solar system, the spacecraft is traveling toward the constellation of Aquila where NASA says it will pass near one of the stars in about four million years.More recent historical footnotes for pad 36B include the first flights of Atlas 1, 2, 2AS and 3 rockets since 1990, launches of civilian weather satellites that provide images and information that Americans see every day on TV, the premier sun-watching probe called SOHO, commercial and military communications satellites linking users around the world and several hush-hush spy spacecraft. The secret payload, already enclosed in the rocket’s nose cone, is lifted into the pad 36B tower for mating to the Atlas 3 vehicle. Photo: ILSWhat the Atlas 3 will be launching Thursday is shrouded in mystery. The NRO won’t comment on its satellites given the classified nature of the spacecraft.”Everything we put up is uniquely built for a particular mission, and this is the same,” NRO spokesman Rick Oborn said.It will take about 78 minutes for the Atlas 3B and its single-engine Centaur upper stage to haul the payload into the desired orbit. The actual details of the orbit’s altitude are being kept under wraps, too. But officials acknowledge the rocket will head northeastward from the Cape to a highly inclined orbit extending more than 60 degrees north and south of the equator.The payload will be deployed from the rocket over the South Pacific. If all goes smoothly, this would be the record-extending 75th consecutive time an Atlas has achieved success since 1993.The Atlas mission is managed by International Launch Services.

    8. Posted: March 12, 2005Riding the most powerful Atlas rocket in history, the world’s heaviest commercial communications satellite is circling the Earth following Friday’s fast and fiery blastoff from Cape Canaveral. This stunning image of the Atlas 5 rocket launching Inmarsat 4-F1 was captured by a fisheye lens fitted on a sound-activated camera at Complex 41. Photo: Ben Cooper/Spaceflight NowThe Inmarsat 4-F1 spacecraft becomes the cornerstone in a sophisticated network providing mobile broadband communications services spanning the globe for users at sea, in the air and on land.”Thanks to you all, the world just got a little smaller today,” Inmarsat CEO Andrew Sukawaty told the Atlas launch team shortly after the successful liftoff.”The satellite that just went up is the largest commercial satellite to be launched. There is a very important reason for that: we are looking to launch an exciting new service globally, and this was the first step in that.”Putting almost half-megabit data speeds for people to access globally where terrestrial networks don’t go, we see as a fundamental service. Some see it as a life-line service in some parts of the world, an essential service for media, for aid organizations, for maritime, which is a base of customers that has been with us for many, many years.”It is an important service for the world and we just improved it in a major way, and you all made the world a little smaller.” The Lockheed Martin Atlas 5 rocket ascends from Complex 41. Photo: ILSThe $250 million launch was postponed a day, but the second attempt was uneventful as Lockheed Martin crews fueled up the 194-foot tall Atlas 5 vehicle at Complex 41 and aimed for liftoff at 4:42 p.m. EST (2142 GMT).Blessed with Chamber of Commerce weather and a countdown free of any technical gremlins, the Russian-designed main engine thundered to full throttle in the last moments of the launch campaign that had taken years to reach culmination. Three 67-foot long solid-propellant booster rockets strapped to the first stage were then commanded to ignite, rapidly propelling the vehicle skyward on more thrust than any previous Atlas.Within five seconds, the rocket has cleared the lightning protection towers around the launch pad. In contrast, earlier Atlas 5 rockets lacking any solid boosters for added liftoff kick took 13 seconds to ascend from the towers.Following a 32-minute launch across the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlas 5 delivered Inmarsat 4-F1 into a super-synchronous transfer orbit, releasing the craft over Africa. The highly elliptical orbit featured a high point of 56,270 miles, a low point of 274 miles and inclination of 20.83 degrees.The exceptionally high transfer orbit was targeted given the performance available from the launch vehicle and the fuel-saving efficiency it permits satellite controllers when conducting the orbital maneuvers to place the spacecraft into geostationary orbit. The launch occurred in perfect weather conditions as seen from the Kennedy Space Center Press Site at Complex 39. Photo: Ben Cooper/Spaceflight NowOver the next three weeks, the satellite’s onboard propulsion system will circularize the orbit at 22,300 miles and reduce the inclination to approximately 0 degrees so that the craft can match the Earth’s rotation and appeared parked over the equator.The Lockheed Martin Atlas 5 rocket gave a tailored feel to its Inmarsat spacecraft payload, with three strap-on solid boosters and a stretched nose cone.This particular configuration of the next-generation launcher — called the Atlas 5-431 model with a four-meter fairing, three solids and single-engine Centaur upper stage — had never flown. But its debut appeared flawless, and extended the string of consecutive successful missions by the Atlas family to 76 since 1993, including all five Atlas 5 flights. The joint U.S.-Russian firm International Launch Services, which markets the Atlas and Proton rocket fleets, managed the mission.”Years of effort, 7 years from the inception of this project, went into this,” Sukawaty said. “Teams of people have been dedicated to this for a healthy part of their careers. You at ILS certainly have a reputation that can’t be matched in terms of reliability, and I saw it in action today. It was impressive. Thank you all very much.”The Inmarsat 4-F1 satellite weighed 13,138 pounds at launch. By far the heftiest commercial communications spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, its official liftoff mass was a bit heavier than earlier predictions. As a result, it eclipsed by a tiny margin the previous record-holder’s weight to become the heaviest satellite of its kind deployed into orbit. As seen from Port Canaveral, the Atlas 5 rocket launched into crystal clear skies. Photo: Steve Harrison”This is a milestone launch for us…in terms of the size of the payload,” ILS President Mark Albrecht said. “Inmarsat 4-F1 is one of largest commercial communications satellites in the world, as well as the most massive satellite launched by Atlas. Yet it falls into the middle of the Atlas 5 capability range, demonstrating the flexibility of our design.”Lockheed Martin designed the Atlas 5 family to incorporate various configurations, allowing each rocket and its specific payload to be paired together with just the right amount of power. The rocket can be fitted with as many as five strap-on solid boosters to loft over 19,000 pounds into geosynchronous transfer orbit. Before Friday’s flight, the most solids used on a single Atlas 5 launch was two. The Inmarsat 4-F1 craft is the first of Inmarsat’s newest generation of satellites that come with the tag line “broadband for a mobile planet.” Built in Europe by EADS Astrium, the Inmarsat 4-series spacecraft will provide office-like broadband services such as Internet, email, voice and data-relay using laptop and palm-sized terminals on land, at sea or in the air.”It’s really about taking the office with you where terrestrial networks don’t go economically,” Sukawaty said.What’s more, the Inmarsat 4-series of satellite will continue the existing lower-data-rate capacity currently offered by the London-headquartered company for maritime, air and emergency services, and enhance navigation signals for air traffic uses.”Basically, it is going to expand our services and extend the life of our service to the end of the next decade,” Sukawaty said. An artist’s concept shows the Inmarsat 4-series satellite in orbit. Credit: EADS AstriumThe sophisticated satellites transmit over 200 spot beams to deliver strong signals to the small receivers. Each craft has a giant unfurlable antenna reflector stretching 30 by 39 feet.The new craft are 60 times more powerful and have 20 times more capacity than their predecessors, the Inmarsat 3-series of satellites. Inmarsat has 9 older satellites in orbit.Inmarsat 4-F1 will be operated at 64 degrees over the Indian Ocean to cover Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. A sister satellite — Inmarsat 4-F2 — is scheduled to fly later this year atop a Sea Launch rocket to serve South America, most of North America, the Atlantic Ocean and part of the Pacific Ocean.”The first two I-4 satellites will bring broadband communications to 86 percent of the world,” Sukawaty said.A third craft is under construction for back up to the first two. If not needed as a replacement, the F3 craft could be deployed over the Pacific.Video coverage for subscribers only:VIDEO:ATLAS 5 ROCKET BLASTS OFF WITH INMARSAT 4-F1 VIDEO:WATCH EXTENDED LENGTH LAUNCH MOVIE VIDEO:ONBOARD VIEW OF SOLID ROCKET BOOSTER SEPARATION VIDEO:LAUNCH AS SEEN FROM THE PRESS SITE VIDEO:NARRATED ANIMATION PREVIEW OF THIS LAUNCH VIDEO:OVERVIEW OF INMARSAT AND ITS NEWEST SATELLITE VIDEO:TECHNICAL BRIEFING ON THE INMARSAT 4-F1 SPACECRAFT Columbia ReportA reproduction of the official accident investigation report into the loss of the space shuttle Columbia and its crew of seven.

The TDRS L spacecraft streaks to orbit. Credit: Walter Scriptunas II / Weighing 746,061-pounds and standing 40 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, the two-stage rocket launched from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41 at 9:33 p.m. EST. It was the 10th straight Atlas to launch on the first attempt.The liftoff marked the 625th rocket with the name Atlas and the 43rd for the Atlas 5 family.About two hours later, the Centaur upper stag deployed the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite L, or TDRS L, into geosynchronous transfer orbit as prescribed.”This spacecraft is part of a NASA-wide initiative to replenish the Space Network constellation that has been on-orbit since the early 80s” said Paul Buchanan, TDRS deputy project manager.Created in 1973 and launching its first satellite in 1983, the system was conceived to provide constant communications with astronauts and science spacecraft circling the planet in low-Earth orbit. The TDRS design uses a constellation of geosynchronous satellites parked 22,300 miles above Earth to provide global coverage.”The TDRS constellation is a critical national asset, not only when we supported the space shuttle for all those years it was flying. Now it’s the International Space Station and Hubble. A lot of the missions — the late 80s to now — the amount of communications bandwidth or user load and request for all the science data, the amount of users of TDRS has gone up just because of the number of satellites that have gone up,” said Buchanan.Looking down from that vantage point, the TDRS network receives signals from vehicles like the space station flying at a mere 250 miles and routes the telemetry, voice, video and science information to a dedicated ground terminal for delivery to Houston.No matter where the space station is located at any given moment, TDRS has the outpost in sight for the two-way communications.What’s more, the dazzling views of the cosmos captured by the Hubble Space Telescope are relayed through TDRS, as are the measurements obtained by NASA’s fleet of Earth-watching environmental satellites and astronomy birds peering into the universe. There’s even telemetry-relay from ascending rockets that beam through the network, including the Atlas-Centaur vehicle carrying TDRS K.Despite retirement of the space shuttle orbiters, the demand for TDRS services has not waned. Just the contrary, project officials say, as the space agency sends up more and more science satellites that need their communications relayed.”The communications services provide is a tri-band — Ku, Ka and S-band — and the throughput is higher due to the state of electronics and technology growth. That’s why NASA decided to replenish the constellation,” said Buchanan.And with the shuttles no longer around to deliver supplies to the space station, international cargo ships like Europe’s ATV and Japan’s HTV freighters and commercial craft like the SpaceX Dragon and the Orbital Sciences Cygnus route their telemetry through TDRS.The first generation of TDRS spacecraft, built by TRW as the system’s A through G satellites, launched aboard 7 space shuttle missions between 1983 and 1995. One, however, was lost aboard Challenger in 1986.Four of the six that went into operation remain alive today, well outlasting their 10-year design life.A second generation, a batch of three made by Boeing and known as TDRS H, I and J, flew aboard Atlas 2A rockets between 2000 and 2002 to improve the capabilities of the system.Now, Boeing is providing three more to replenish the constellation and keep it viable into the 2020s. TDRS K was launched last January and TDRS L will be followed by TDRS M no sooner than 2016.”The legacy constellation plus K, L and M will provide near continuous communications services to 2022-2023,” Buchanan said.”TDRS K is performing flawlessly. It’s doing great. We expect the same from TDRS L.”The satellite stood 26 feet tall and weighed over 7,600 pounds at launch, including 3,700 pounds of maneuvering fuel loaded inside the craft. Once fully deployed in space, TDRS L’s solar wings will stretch 69 feet tip-to-tip to generate 3,220 watts of power and charge internal nickel-hydrogen batteries.The primary physical feature of the satellite is two 15-foot-diameter flexible graphite mesh antenna dishes that were folded like taco shells for launch, then springing into shape once released in orbit.The antennas offer gimbal tracking of targeted spacecraft flying beneath the satellite, providing high-gain communications to the station, Hubble and other craft for vital contacts and data dumps.After finishing the orbit-raising activities two weeks following the launch, the spacecraft’s full appendages will be deployed, starting with one solar array, then the booms holding the Single Access antennas fold out, the other solar wing extends, the forward Omni swings into place and the space-to-ground antenna is positioned.The spacecraft will undergo testing at 150 degrees West, then drift eastward to its operational location at 49 degrees West.The launch was the first of 9 planned for the Atlas 5 rocket in 2014, including 6 from Cape Canaveral and three from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Next up is the March 25 launch of the NROL-67 mission for the National Reconnaissance Office from the Cape.

  10. This may be why, when you first take to the internet in search for a loan, you are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of online lenders trying to win your business. For this reason, it is vital that you are clued up on exactly what makes an online lender reputable and trustworthy. The following points are some of the basic requirements you should be on the look out for when browsing loan websites.Consumer Credit Licence Before a company can offer any kind of credit within the UK, they have to have been issued a “Consumer Credit Licence” or “CCL” by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), the consumer credit watchdog.This is a legal requirement for any company that wishes to offer you credit or pass your details onto a broker or lender.When a company applies for a CCL, the OFT will check that it actually exists and that its directors are in a good enough position to conduct such business. The OFT will also run background checks on the directors to ensure they are who they say they are and have no criminal records.Therefore, if a company displays a valid CCL on its website, then you can be happy in the knowledge that its credentials have been checked and approved by the OFT. A CCL is 6 digit number, ie. 610526Data Protection Act RegisteredAs mentioned above, when applying for secured loans you have to disclose a considerable amount of highly personal information. It is understandably important that you feel confident in trusting the company to whom you are sending your details.This is achieved by the lending company being registered under the 1998 Data Protection Act. The basic requirements of the Act are that any company or individual that holds your personal details must make certain they are handled, transmitted and stored in a secure and responsible way. So, before you submit any of your personal information to a business its important you ensure that they are displaying a valid data protection licence. A Data Protection Licence is usually 8 alpha numeric characters, ie. B922588XValid & Confirmed UK AddressThe competitive nature and ever increasing demand for credit within the UK often attracts foreign fraudsters, and as a result, many online loan sites are not operated by UK-based companies or individuals.As we have already identified, the details you are required to supply when applying for secured loans are highly personal, and provide all the information necessary for a fraudster to steal your identity.To make sure that the website you are viewing is backed by a genuine UK company or individual, take a few minutes to look around the site to see if you can find a UK address and telephone number. Such information is usually found in “About Us” or “Contact Us” sections.If you have any doubts about the validity of the lenders contact details seek guidance from an IFA or the Citizens Advice Bureau before proceeding. In summary, ensuring that a company has fulfilled all of the above basic requirements should prove that it is a trustworthy secured loans lender, who will handle your personal information and loan application in a safe and acceptable manner. marc by marc jacobs バッグ http://www.supermarcjacobsoutletjap.com/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%90%E3%82%A4%E3%83%9E%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF-%E3%83%90%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0-c-37.html

  16. Number 1 – promote your product, not your opportunity. This is not what you are taught when you attend your weekly ‘Opportunity’ meetings. Your company is based on a good product or service, or you wouldn’t be involved with it. Be passionate about your product or service, and build your marketing campaign around the value and benefits of consuming that product or service. You need your prospects to become customers first; customers who will become passionate about your product or service, and who will then continue to be consumers. If prospects join your business based on the opportunity alone, what is going to happen if they don’t start making money right away? They give up and you will have to go and find someone else to replace them; and so the cycle continues. Number 2 – Master a tool that allows you to connect with the most amount of people, in the shortest amount of time, for the least amount of money. That tool is the telephone. How many people can you take to a weekly opportunity meeting? How many people can you talk to on the telephone in 2 hours, using a script that takes just a few minutes to complete, with a list of people who already want what you have to offer? And I’m not talking about your friends and family. If they wanted what you have to offer they would have jumped right in the first time you offered it. So, why are you wasting your time trying to convince them?Number 3 – Position yourself as the expert. Forget 3 way calls with your upline and taking prospects to listen to someone else at an opportunity meeting. Become the leader in your business and have people listen to you. Learn all the skills you need to grow your own business from prospecting through to closing and be the CEO of your business. Grow your business for your benefit, not your company’s benefit. Most network marketing companies teach you methods that work for them, not you. Think about it this way. If your upline has 100 distributors who each bring 1 prospect a week to an opportunity meeting, and 50% of those prospects join the business, then your upline has grown their business by 50 people a week. On the other hand, half of those 100 distributors have grown their businesses by just 1 person a week. Which side of that fence would you rather be on?If the techniques taught by most companies really work, then why do more than 90% of network marketers fail to achieve a significant income. In fact, most people who walk the trail of tears do so with the heavy burden of an overloaded credit card. A debt that will take years to clear due to the huge number of DVD’s, brochures, catalogues, etc. purchased to grow the business for someone else, certainly not the individual. If you are serious about growing your business, then forget about your list of friends and family, 3 way-calling, and opportunity meetings. Don’t waste your time talking to everyone you meet about your opportunity; most of them simply are not interested and won’t stay in your business long if they do join.

  17. Although lawyers are mostly responsible for legal court work, very often they allot their responsibilities to paralegals. One of the most important tasks of paralegals are to help the lawyers to prepare for hearings, trials, corporate meetings and closings. Paralegals perform the background investigation into the facts of the case and make sure that all the important information has been considered. In addition to this preparatory work, they perform a number of other important functions. For instance, they help in drafting contracts, separation agreements, instruments of trust and mortgages. Areas Of WorkMany organizations require the expertise of paralegals. Law firms, legal departments of large corporate houses and government offices employ the services of paralegals. Within these organizations, they work in different aspects of applied law, such as corporate law, personal injury, real estate, family law, employee benefits and even criminal law. Since law has increased in complexity, paralegals now also specialize in their services. Paralegals in corporations and the public sector usually work a standard 40-hour week. TrainingThere are a number of ways to become a paralegal. The most common is a paralegal program at a community college that matures into an associate’s degree. The other common method is through a program of certification in paralegal studies. Bachelor’s and master’s degrees in paralegal studies are also available at a number of schools. Some employers also train paralegals. They hire college graduates with no legal experience and train them hands-on. Nearly 1000 colleges and universities, proprietary schools and law schools offer formal paralegal training. Graduation from a program with ABA (American Bar Association) approval can enhance employment opportunities. Familiarity with technical knowledge and the working of computers are also essential in paralegal work. The Internet and computer software are regularly used to research legal literature and save databases. Therefore, a course in computer operations can be extremely useful and is virtually essential.Job OutlookEmployment for paralegals is expected to grow much faster in the future. Employers are trying to cut costs by hiring paralegals to take care of a number of tasks that were earlier performed by lawyers. Experienced and formally trained paralegals have the best employment opportunities. Insurance companies, banks, real estate agencies and title insurance firms are now hiring paralegals. The demand for paralegals will increase with the expanding population’s demand for legal services.Earning ProspectsEarnings of paralegals and legal assistants vary. Salaries are based on experience, education, training, the type and size of the employing company and the geographic location. In general, paralegals working for large legal firms or in large cities and metropolitan areas usually earn more than those who work within smaller firms or in remote regions. In addition to the salary, many companies offer a system of bonus to paralegals. The average starting salary can be anything around $30,000. Even the lowest paid is close to $26,000, while the top make as much as $60,000 or more.After five years of experience, the average salary increases. The average paralegal salary for the top bracket can increase to as much as $80,000 in five years. If you have an analytical mind, and like law, then a career as a paralegal can prove to be immensely satisfying. miumiu バッグ http://www.newmiumiushopjap.com/%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%9F%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A6%E3%83%90%E3%83%83%E3%82%B0-c-95.html

    1. The University of Maryland space physics group specializes in measurements of space plasmas and of suprathermal and energetic ions found in solar, planetary, and interplanetary environments. The work for which the group is internationally recognized includes studies of the composition and ionization states of the solar wind, solar energetic particles, and interstellar neutral atoms which have been “picked up” in the solar wind. This work, carried on at Maryland since the late 1960s, has given key insights into solar energetic particle acceleration and conditions in the solar atmosphere.Other work has provided fundamental information about the energizing of particles by traveling interplanetary shocks and such diverse topics as the origin of oxygen and sulfur ions in Jupiter’s magnetosphere from the volcanoes on the moon Io and the composition and energy content of the Earth’s radiation belts.The plasma and energetic particle observations carried out by the Space Physics Group require novel instrumentation carried on Earth-orbiting satellites and deep-space probes. Instruments are designed and constructed on campus by the group’s technical staff, with participation by graduate as well as undergraduate students.Experiments built by the group are currently operating on 13 spacecraft, including Cassini. Other missions carrying the group’s sensors include the Voyager deep-space probes, the Ulysses probe to the solar poles and near-Earth missions such as Geotail, the Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX), WIND, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), and the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE).Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:WATCH FRIDAY’S SCIENCE NEWS CONFERENCE VIDEO:THURSDAY’S NEWS BRIEFING ON CASSINI’S FIRST PICTURES VIDEO:RING PICTURES ARE PRESENTED WITH EXPERT NARRATION VIDEO:CASSINI RE-DISCOVERS TINY MOONS ATLAS AND PAN VIDEO:CASSINI BOOMING SOUNDS FROM BOW-SHOCK CROSSING VIDEO:CASSINI BEGINS ENGINE FIRING TO ENTER ORBIT VIDEO:BURN ENDS SUCCESSFULLY TO PUT CASSINI IN ORBIT VIDEO:POST-ARRIVAL NEWS CONFERENCE VIDEO:WEDNESDAY’S 12 P.M.

At that time, Cassini started detecting radio signalsfrom Earth’s lightning as far out as 89,200 kilometers from the Earth’ssurface. In contrast, as Cassini approached Saturn, it started detectingradio signals from lightning about 161 million kilometers from the planet.”This means that radio signals from Saturn’s lightning are on the order ofone million times stronger than Earth’s lightning. That’s just astonishingto me!” says Gurnett, who notes that some radio signals have been linkedto storm systems observed by the Cassini imaging instrument.Earth’s lightning is commonly detected on AM radios, a technique similar tothat used by scientists monitoring signals from Cassini.Regarding Saturn’s rings, Gurnett says that the Cassini Radio and PlasmaWave Science (RPWS) instrument detected large numbers of dust impacts onthe spacecraft. Gurnett and his science team found that as Cassiniapproached the inbound ring plane crossing, the impact rate began toincrease dramatically some two minutes before the ring plane crossing,then reached a peak of more than 1,000 per second at almost exactly thetime of the ring plane crossing, and finally decreased to pre-existinglevels about two minutes later.Gurnett notes that the particles areprobably quite small, only a few microns in diameter, otherwise they wouldhave damaged the spacecraft.Finally, variations in Saturn’s radio rotation rate came as a surprise.Based upon more than one year of Cassini measurements, the rate is 10hours 45 minutes and 45 seconds, plus or minus 36 seconds. That’s about sixminutes longer than the value recorded by the Voyager 1 and 2 flybys ofSaturn in 1980-81.Scientists use the rotation rate of radio emissionsfrom the giant gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter to determine therotation rate of the planets themselves because the planets have no solidsurfaces and are covered by clouds that make direct visual measurementsimpossible.Gurnett suggests that the change in the radio rotation rate is difficult toexplain.”Saturn is unique in that its magnetic axis is almost exactlyaligned with its rotational axis. That means there is no rotationallyinduced wobble in the magnetic field, so there must be some secondaryeffect controlling the radio emission. We hope to nail that down duringthe next four to eight years of the Cassini mission.”One possible scenario was suggested nearly 20 years ago. Writing in theMay 1985 issue of “Geophysical Research Letters,” Alex J. Dessler, a seniorresearch scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University ofArizona, argued that the magnetic fields of gaseous giant planets, such asSaturn and Jupiter, are more like that of the sun than of the Earth. Thesun’s magnetic field does not rotate as a solid body. Instead, its rotationperiod varies with latitude.Commenting earlier this year on the work ofGurnett and his team, Dessler said, “This finding is very significantbecause it demonstrates that the idea of a rigidly rotating magnetic fieldis wrong. Saturn’s magnetic field has more in common with the sun than theEarth. The measurement can be interpreted as showing that the part ofSaturn’s magnetic field that controls the radio emissions has moved to ahigher latitude during the last two decades.”The radio sounds of Saturn’s rotation – resembling a heartbeat – andother sounds of space can be heard by visiting Gurnett’s Web site at:.Cassini, carrying 12 scientific instruments, on June 30, 2004 became thefirst spacecraft to orbit Saturn and begin a four-year study of the planet,its rings and its 31 known moons. The $1.4 billion spacecraft is part ofthe $3.3 billion Cassini-Huygens Mission that includes the Huygens probe,a six-instrument European Space Agency probe, scheduled to land on Titan,Saturn’s largest moon, in January 2005.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the EuropeanSpace Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

Photo credit:European mission to space station postponed SPACEFLIGHT NOWPosted: July 19, 2014 The last flight of Europe’s heavy-duty Automated Transfer Vehicle heading for the International Space Station will be delayed a few days while engineers resolve a problem with the spaceship’s Ariane 5 launcher, officials said Friday. The Automated Transfer Vehicle’s Russian-made docking cone is visible in this image of the spacecraft after it was mounted on top of its Ariane 5 launcher. Photo credit: ESA/M. PedoussautLiftoff was scheduled for July 24 from the European-run Guiana Space Center on the northern coast of South America, the tropical spaceport that is home to the Ariane 5, Soyuz and Vega rockets operated by the French launch services firm Arianespace.Arianespace announced the postponement Friday, but officials have not settled on a new launch date.”In order to proceed with complementary verifications on the Ariane 5 ES launch system, Arianespace has decided to delay the VA219 launch for a few days,” Arianespace said in a statement released Friday.The launch is known as VA219 in Arianespace’s mission naming system.Sources familiar with the problem said technicians encountered trouble filling the Ariane 5’s second stage attitude control system with hydrazine fuel. Thrusters on the upper stage of the launcher control the pitch and roll of the rocket after separation of the Ariane 5’s twin solid rocket boosters.The thrusters will also re-orient the upper stage before deployment of the ATV spacecraft.The second stage engine will fire twice during the launch to put the Automated Transfer Vehicle into an orbit on the way to the space station.The fifth Automated Transfer Vehicle, nicknamed “Georges Lemaitre” after the Belgian physicist who first proposed the Big Bang theory, is the last in a line of European Space Agency cargo spacecraft built to service the space station.The ATV 5 mission will take up approximately 14,500 pounds of supplies, spare parts, fuel, water, oxygen and air to replenish the space station’s reserves.It will dock to the back end of the space station’s Russian Zvezda service module a couple of weeks after launch and stay attached for up to six months.The ATV mission has a docking window with the space station extending until Aug. 31.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle approaches the space station’s Zvezda service module in this image tweeted by astronaut Reid Wiseman living aboard the complex. Photo credit: NASA/Reid WisemanFitted with distinctive X-shaped solar arrays, the European Space agency’s ATV cargo craft appeared as an insect looming behind the space station, with live television views showing the spaceship firing off rocket thrusters to manage its approach.With a glacial closing rate of about 2 inches per second, the 20-ton supply ship linked up with the space station’s Zvezda service module at 1330 GMT (9:30 a.m. EDT) as the spacecraft sailed 260 miles over southern Kazakhstan at a velocity of more than 17,000 mph.Lasers and radars guided the ATV for the final phase of the rendezvous, which completed a two-week journey after the craft’s July 29 launch aboard an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana.The ATV’s cargo complement includes crew clothing, food, rocket fuel, water and experiments, including fish for a Japanese aquatic investigation. Soy sauce, coffee and tiramisu are also on-board.The space station’s crew will open the hatches leading to the ATV on Wednesday. After ensuring the spaceship’s air is clean, cargo unloading is scheduled to begin Thursday.The massive supply load is the biggest delivered to the space station since the last space shuttle mission in 2011. No other vehicle is capable of taking up so much cargo to the outpost.Named for Georges Lemaitre, the Belgian priest and physicist behind the Big Bang theory, the cargo spacecraft is the last in a line of five European resupply freighters, a 3 billion euro ($4 billion) program that started with studies in the late 1980s before ESA committed to the spaceship’s development.About 14,500 pounds of cargo and fuel was delivered with the ATV’s docking Tuesday.The cargo complement includes 1,896 pounds of propellant to be pumped inside the Russian Zvezda service module, 1,858 of fresh water, 220 pounds of air and pure oxygen, and more than 5,900 pounds of dry cargo.When docked to the aft end of the space station’s Russian segment, the ATV will raise the lab’s altitude and maneuver it out of the way of space junk.The largest piece of hardware aboard ATV 5 is an electromagnetic levitator for ESA’s Material Science Laboratory inside the Columbus module. The device will melt down metallic samples for research in material thermodynamics, according to ESA.An upgrade for NASA’s robotic satellite servicing testbed on the space station was also carried by the ATV. An articulating borescope inspection tool will be added to the satellite servicing experiment to test in-space inspection capabilities.With the five ATVs, Europe sent up 31,446 kilograms, or 69,327 pounds, of cargo, fuel, water and air to the space station, according to Thomas Reiter, head of ESA’s human exploration and operations directorate.”Georges Lemaitre is the last ATV, six years after the launch of the first, which was in March 2008,” said Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA’s director general. “Six years have gone by in the meantime, but the ATV is, and will remain for a long time to come, a unique space vehicle. It’s the most complex vehicle that ESA and European industry have ever developed and produced. It’s both a launcher and a satellite. It’s both automatic and man-rated. It’s capable of unparalleled accuracy and controlled atmospheric re-entry.”ESA is retiring the ATV in favor of a new program to design and build the service module for an unmanned test flight of NASA’s Orion multipurpose crew vehicle set for launch at the end of 2017.”To say it very bluntly, if Europe had not done ATV, the service module for [Orion] MPCV would have been a no go,” said Bart Reijnen, head of orbital systems and space exploration at Airbus Defence and Space.Officials said they wished to put engineers to work on developing a new spacecraft instead of building more ATVs. Cargo deliveries to the space station will continue with a fleet of supply vehicles from the United States, Russia and Japan.The U.S. Dragon and Cygnus cargo craft, along with Japan’s H-2 Transfer Vehicle, can carry up larger experiments than the ATV, which attaches to the Russian segment of the space station with a smaller passageway than NASA’s modules.Russia’s Progress spacecraft delivers propellant, but in smaller quantities than the ATV.But the ATV is the only cargo craft to do it all.The ATV missions were part of a barter agreement between ESA and NASA. The resupply capabilities offered by the ATV paid Europe’s share of the space station’s operating costs through 2017.ESA’s payment for the station’s operating expenses from 2017 through 2020 will be paid with the provision of the Orion spacecraft’s service module, which is valued at approximately 450 million euros, or about $600 million.At the end of the ATV 5 mission, currently scheduled for January or February, the ATV will undock from the space station’s Zvezda service module with trash and waste. Like the previous European cargo ships, the ATV 5 mission will plunge back into the atmosphere, destroying itself and the garbage inside, clearing precious room on the space station for fresh experiments and cargo.But NASA and ESA officials have devised a plan to change the re-entry trajectory to collect data on how the ATV responds when it falls into the atmosphere, helping engineers validate computer models to predict how the space station will re-enter at the end of its mission as a crewed orbiting research laboratory.Pending final approval from safety officials, the shallow re-entry profile would occur over the uninhabited South Pacific Ocean.The ATV also carries an internal camera to record and transmit imagery of the re-entry from inside the spaceship’s pressurized module.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

The Ariane 5 rocket with Europe’s fifth Automated Transfer Vehicle blasts off from French Guiana. Photo credit: ESA/S. Corvaja Part refueling tanker and part cargo hauler, Europe’s fifth Automated Transfer Vehicle launched aboard an Ariane 5 rocket at 2347 GMT (7:47 p.m. EDT) from the Guiana Space Center, a high-tech spaceport carved from the edge of the Amazon jungle.As the countdown clock reached zero, the Ariane 5’s Vulcain 2 core engine ignited. Following a computer-controlled health check, the rocket’s twin strap-on boosters lit and the Ariane 5 moved skyward.The 16-story launcher raced into the night over French Guiana, lighting up the space center in an orange glow as the rumble of the rocket reached spectators and villagers miles away.The Ariane 5 surpassed the speed of sound in 48 seconds, then let go of two large solid-fueled boosters about 2 minutes, 24 seconds into the flight. The hydrogen-fueled Vulcain 2 engine continued firing for 9 minutes before emptying its propellant tanks.A nearly cloud-free sky afforded dazzling views of the launch as the rocket dimmed before finally disappearing as it flew hundreds of miles northeast of the space base.The Ariane 5’s main engine gave way to an upper stage Aestus engine for two burns to put the ATV into a circular orbit approximately 161 miles above Earth.The launcher released the supply ship at 0051 GMT (8:51 p.m. EDT), and the craft extended four solar array wings to begin generating power. A communications antenna boom also deployed as planned, according to the European Space Agency.Arianespace, the Ariane 5’s commercial operator, declared the launch a success.The ATV cargo carrier, named for the Belgian priest and physicist Georges Lemaitre behind the Big Bang theory, is set for docking to the International Space Station’s Zvezda service module Aug. 12.”Sixty consecutive successful launches for Ariane 5,” said Stephane Israel, chairman and CEO of Arianespace. “Georges Lemaitre is on its way to the ISS.” The Ariane 5 rocket streaks downrange from the Guiana Space Center. Photo credit: Stephen Clark/Spaceflight NowThe Automated Transfer Vehicle is the biggest spaceship of its type, capable of carrying food, supplies, experiments, fuel, water and air for the space station’s six-person crew.The spacecraft weighed more than 20 tons at launch, making it the largest in the fleet of international resupply vehicles servicing the space station.But Tuesday’s launch marked the last flight of the ATV, which is being phased out in favor of U.S.-built commercial cargo craft and Japan’s resupply freighter — called the H-2 Transfer Vehicle.”The last of the litter is now in orbit,” said Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA’s director general.”Georges Lemaitre is the last ATV, six years after the launch of the first, which was in March 2008,” Dordain said. “Six years have gone by in the meantime, but the ATV is, and will remain for a long time to come, a unique space vehicle. It’s the most complex vehicle that ESA and European industry have ever developed and produced. It’s both a launcher and a satellite. It’s both automatic and man-rated. It’s capable of unparalleled accuracy and controlled atmospheric re-entry.”The U.S. and Japanese vehicles can carry up larger experiments than the ATV, which attaches to the Russian segment of the space station with a smaller passageway than NASA’s modules.Russia’s Progress spacecraft delivers propellant, but in smaller quantities than the ATV.But the ATV is the only cargo craft to do it all.With the arrival of the Georges Lemaitre spacecraft, Europe’s five ATVs will have delivered 31,446 kilograms, or 69,327 pounds, of cargo, fuel, water and air to the space station, according to Thomas Reiter, head of ESA’s human exploration and operations directorate.”The first studies started in the 1980s, so we are 25-to-30 years down the road, and there is a lot of energy, motivation, and competencies in ATV,” said Bart Reijnen, head of orbital systems and space exploration at Airbus Defence and Space, lead contractor for the cargo spacecraft. “For all the teams that have been working over such a long time period, it’s not easy to say farewell to ATV. You can be sure about that.” Artist’s concept of the ATV approaching the International Space Station. Photo credit: ESATechnicians packed approximately 14,500 pounds of cargo inside the fifth ATV.The cargo complement includes 1,896 pounds of propellant to be pumped inside the Russian Zvezda service module, 1,858 of fresh water, 220 pounds of air and pure oxygen, and about 5,941 pounds of dry cargo.Cargo items include coffee, soy sauce and supplies for a Japanese experiment on fish.The complexity of the ATV was unmatched in the European space industry when ESA started the program. Cargo deliveries by the European supply ships help pay ESA’s share of the space station’s common operating costs through a barter arrangement with NASA.”It’s one million lines of code, just to give you idea, because it’s very complex to have an automatic docking,” said Eric Beranger, head of space programs at Airbus Defence and Space. “You need to anticipate all possible mishaps using sensors, and yet be able not to lose track of your target and be able to dock. This software onboard ATV is able to dock with a precision within 6 centimeters (2.4 inches). It gives you an idea at 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,400 mph). On top of that, this ATV will be the heaviest ever launched — more than 20 [metric] tons.”The fluids and air will be transferred into tanks on the space station’s Russian segment, while astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the research lab will unpack the dry cargo, which includes experimental hardware for European, Japanese and U.S. investigations ongoing inside the outpost.The European cargo craft can also boost the space station’s orbit and maneuver the huge complex out of the way of space junk during its mission.The largest piece of hardware aboard ATV 5 is an electromagnetic levitator for ESA’s Material Science Laboratory inside the Columbus module. The device will melt down metallic samples for research in material thermodynamics, according to ESA.Officials decided to stop building ATVs, opting to focus on a new development using the spacecraft’s technologies to keep European engineering teams sharp.After considering a cargo return vehicle and an orbital cleanup spaceship to clear space debris from orbit, ESA member states agreed in November 2012 to build a service module for NASA’s Orion crew capsule, a U.S.-led program to send astronauts on missions to deep space destinations, such as asteroids, the moon and Mars.The agreement covers the construction of a service module for an unmanned test flight of the Orion spacecraft around the moon set for launch no earlier than late 2017. Based on technologies and components developed for the ATV, the service module supplies propulsion and power for the Orion capsule.”I think in this way we can nicely demonstrate that all the effort we have taken to build such a fantastic vehicle to do this fantastic cargo transfer and automated docking … is not lost, but it’s built upon for future activities,” said Thomas Reiter, a former astronaut and director of ESA’s space exploration programs.Negotiations have not started for European construction of service modules for later Orion missions, including crewed flights.Beranger called the final ATV mission “both an au revoir and the beginning of a new adventure.”If all goes according to plan, the ATV will reach the vicinity of the space station Aug. 8 for a mock rendezvous. The cargo freighter will pass about 5 miles underneath the space station to test the capabilities of a new infrared navigation camera that could guide future missions in space.The ATV’s primary rendezvous sensors, a suite of telegoniometers and videometers, have guided the supply ships to four dockings with the space station with help from a GPS navigation system for long-range tracking.The optical guidance system fires lasers on final approach to the space station, bouncing the light off of specially-located reflectors mounted on the aft end of the outpost’s Zvezda service module.The Laser Infrared Imaging Sensors, or LIRIS, carried on the ATV do not require the reflectors, enabling future missions to rendezvous with nearly any object in orbit.ESA’s ATV contractor Airbus Defence and Space, along with Sodern and Jena-Optronik, proposed flying the new laser and infrared sensors on the ATV 5 mission. The infrared camera was provided by French company Sodern, with German-based Jena-Optronik supplying the laser lidar, according to ESA.”The purpose is to validate, in a real operational environment, these partially new technologies that might be used in the future,” said Massimo Cislaghi, ESA’s ATV 5 mission manager. “We don’t have a real application yet, but they might be used in the future for rendezvous and docking with non-cooperative targets. It’s a little bit like science fiction, but the typical example is the retrieval of a spacecraft out of control before it becomes a danger for re-entry or debris.”The “fly-under” maneuver to test the infrared camera is set for Aug. 8, and the laser lidar sensor will be tested during the ATV’s final approach on docking day.At the end of the mission, currently scheduled for January or February, the ATV will undock from the space station’s Zvezda service module with trash and waste.

The Ariane 5 rocket with Europe’s fifth Automated Transfer Vehicle is on the launch pad in French Guiana. Photo credit: ESA/S. CorvajaThe massive spaceship is enshrouded on top of Europe’s workhorse Ariane 5 launcher, which rolled out to the launch pad Monday at the Guiana Space Center, a French-owned facility on the northeast coast of South America.Liftoff is scheduled for 2347:38 GMT (7:47:38 p.m. EDT) Tuesday during an instantaneous launch opportunity when the space station’s orbital path passes over the tropical spaceport.After a series of orbital maneuvers and tests, the ATV will approach the space station Aug. 12 for an automatic, laser-guided docking to the Russian Zvezda service module.It is the fifth ATV mission since 2008, and the spacecraft weighs in at more than 20 tons, making it the largest in the fleet of international resupply vehicles servicing the space station.But Tuesday’s launch will mark the last flight of the ATV, which is being phased out in favor of U.S.-built commercial cargo craft and Japan’s resupply freighter — called the H-2 Transfer Vehicle.The U.S. and Japanese vehicles can carry up larger experiments than the ATV, which attaches to the Russian segment of the space station with a smaller passageway than NASA’s modules.While the space station’s other resupply freighters can deliver large experiments, fuel and basic supplies, the ATV does it all.”The first studies started in the 1980s, so we are 25-to-30 years down the road, and there is a lot of energy, motivation, and competencies in ATV,” said Bart Reijnen, head of orbital systems and space exploration at Airbus Defence and Space, lead contractor for the cargo spacecraft. “For all the teams that have been working over such a long time period, it’s not easy to say farewell to ATV.

Credit: ESAMoving at a snail’s pace, the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicledocked to the station’s Zvezda service module at 1445 GMT (10:45 a.m.)after a highly choreographed approach lasting more than four hours. Hooksand latches began engaging about a few minutes later to permanently bringthe station and space transporter together.”No commands,” a Russian flight controller radioed flight engineer YuriMalenchenko moments before the docking. Malenchenko was manning a controlpanel inside Zvezda, ready to manually send an abort command if a problemappeared.Such commands were off limits once the ATV moved within three feet of thecomplex because a late abort could cause more harm than good.”The parameters are nominal, waiting for contact.””We have contact,” Malenchenko said.Officials at the ATV control center in Toulouse, France, erupted inapplause when the docking was announced.”The ATV is so much more than a simple delivery truck,” said DanielSacotte, the European Space Agency’s director for human spaceflight,microgravity and exploration. “It is an intelligent and versatilespaceship which has just demonstrated its extraordinary skills.”Heralded as the most advanced spacecraft ever built in Europe, the ATVjoins ESA’s Columbus laboratory module at the station, which launchedaboard the shuttle Atlantis in February.”It is the largest and most complex spacecraft ever developed in Europe,and the second in size of all the vehicles visiting the station afterNASA’s space shuttle. With Columbus and the ATV, we have entered the majorleague of the ISS,” Sacotte said.NASA administrator Mike Griffin congratulated the Europeans on the ATVdocking Thursday morning.”I am incredibly proud of and pleased for our European partners with thisdemonstration of a successful automated docking of the ATV cargo vehiclewith the ISS,” Griffin said. “This accomplishment showcases yet again theprocess which has been made by the international partnership in bringingthis incredible program to fruition.”In a statement minutes after the docking, ESA director generalJean-Jacques Dordain announced the space agency will begin recruiting anew class of European astronauts in the next weeks.Before Thursday’s docking, Jules Verne automatically flew through variouswaypoints using data from a relative GPS navigation system and four laserdevices.The ship switched from GPS to optical data at about 1333 GMT (9:33 a.m.EDT) as Jules Verne flew in formation about 817 feet behind the station.The advanced instruments were heavily tested through two demonstrationdays Saturday and Monday to ensure they were ready to close in on thecomplex.Jules Verne reached a holding point 62 feet behind the station at 1415 GMT(10:15 a.m. EDT), where it held for about 20 minutes as the craft alignedits docking probe with the corresponding receiving port on the back end ofZvezda.After resuming its approach, Jules Verne arrived at a location 36 feetfrom the station at 1438 GMT (10:38 a.m. EDT). Ground controllers at theATV control center issued a “go” for docking before the ship began itsfinal rendezvous.With its docking probe extended, the bus-sized spacecraft stretches 34feet in length and 15 feet in diameter at its widest point.The ship’s pressurized section ferried more than 2,500 pounds of dry cargoto the station, including 1,100 pounds of food, 300 pounds of spare partsfor the newly-delivered Columbus module, and storage support hardware forthe Russian segment. The Automated Transfer Vehicle also carried about 176pounds of fresh clothing, according to the European Space Agency.The station’s three-person crew – commander Peggy Whitson and flightengineers Yuri Malenchenko and Garrett Reisman – will open up the31-inch-wide pathway leading to Jules Verne early Friday morning. Theywill install atmospheric scrubbers to cleanse the air inside the modulebefore being permitted to fully ingress the craft Saturday.”The initial ingress will occur tomorrow morning,” said Brian Smith,NASA’s ATV flight director. “That’s where they will take some air samplesin the vestibule, they will open the ATV hatch and take some more samples,and then they’re going to set up a scrubber.”Officials also plan to test Jules Verne’s ability to control the station’sorientation by firing the ship’s thrusters Saturday.The crew is scheduled to begin outfitting of the cargo carrier Monday toprepare for transfer activities.”They will take the bags, they’ll reconfigure them, they’ll reconfigurethe racks that are in there, set up some temporary racks, and they’ll beready to go to start transferring items in and out,” Smith said.Station residents will manually unload the supplies from Jules Verne’spressurized logistics carrier. The gear will be replaced with wastematerial throughout its four-month stay at the orbiting laboratory.”We’ll be using it a bit like the cupboard,” said John Ellwood, ESA ATVproject manager.Jules Verne also trucked nearly 600 pounds of water and 46 pounds ofoxygen to the station. The water will be used for drinking, cleaning andfood rehydration, while the oxygen will be moved into the outpost’s airsupply beginning April 14.The crew will hook up the water lines and must manually turn valves totransfer the oxygen.Once fresh water is pumped inside the station, the crew can transferliquid waste back into the ATV’s water tanks.About 1,900 pounds of hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide propellants housedinside Jules Verne’s refueling tanks will also flow into Zvezda. The fuelwill be used for the station’s primary propulsion system on the Russiansegment of the complex.Jules Verne’s flight to the station exhausted more than half of its own12,900-pound fuel supply, leaving about 5,000 pounds of propellant toraise the station’s altitude, steer the complex clear of orbital debris,and provide attitude control when the outpost’s gyroscopes are down. TheATV must also keep a fuel reserve for the ship’s suicidal de-orbit burn atthe end of the mission.The refueling system will be checked out April 18 before propellant willbegin running into Zvezda’s propulsion system, and the first re-boost isplanned for late April to tweak the station’s orbit for the arrival of theshuttle Discovery in early June.Engineers on the ground will control the refueling and re-boost operations.Jules Verne shepherded a total of approximately 10,100 pounds of suppliesfor the station, including dry cargo and fluids.The ATV is designed to carry more than 16,000 pounds of logistics, threetimes more payload mass than Russia’s workhorse Progress spacecraft, whichhas averaged nearly four missions per year since 2001.Officials opted to pack Jules Verne with less than a full load because ofthe nearly month-long voyage to the station, which included a complicatedseries of tests that will not be required on future ATV missions.Future ATV trips to the station will likely last about eight days,according to ESA officials.The ATV program has cost ten ESA member states $1.9 billion since 1995,including the craft’s design, development and construction. The costnumber also covers the program’s ground segment.France led the program’s development, providing nearly 47 percent of thetotal contributions to the ATV. Germany and Italy supplied 24 percent and13 percent, respectively, and seven other ESA member states hadcontributions in the single digits.Led by the industrial giant European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co., theATV contractor team included thousands of engineers and technicians acrossEurope. Russia provided the docking probe and refueling system.Four more ATV’s are in the pipeline. Scheduled for launch at the end of2009 or early 2010, the next spacecraft is already under construction.Subsequent ATV’s are manifested for launch in 2011, 2012 and 2013.The ATV’s cargo capacity will be especially needed after the spaceshuttle’s retirement in 2010. The shuttle currently carries most of thestation’s internal and external hardware to orbit.”It is a major contribution to the program, probably more significantlypost-2010 when the shuttle is no longer available for us to much of thelogistics work it does,” said Mike Suffredini, NASA’s space stationprogram manager.Jules Verne’s mission is tentatively set to end Aug. 7 with an undockingfrom the space station. Two engine firings will slow the craft’s speedenough to drop into the atmosphere, destroying the craft and up to 14,000pounds of the station’s trash over the South Pacific.”That fiery end of the ATV mission really concludes the operations ofJules Verne,” Chesson said.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO: RENDEZVOUS BRINGS SHIP TO POINT 820 FEET AWAY VIDEO: JULES VERNE APPROACHES TO 62 FEET FROM STATION VIDEO: FREIGHTER FLIES TO FINAL HOLD POINT AT 36 FEET VIDEO: SPACECRAFT SUCCESSFULLY DOCKS TO SPACE STATION VIDEO: POST-DOCKING NEWS CONFERENCE FROM HOUSTON VIDEO: PREVIEW OF DEMONSTRATION DAY 2 VIDEO: JULES VERNE’S RENDEZVOUS WITH SPACE STATION VIDEO: FREIGHTER FLIES TO WAYPOINT 62 FEET FROM STATION VIDEO: SPACECRAFT PERFORMS CLOSEST APPROACH TO 36 FEET VIDEO: JULES VERNE BACKS AWAY FOR ‘ESCAPE’ MANEUVER VIDEO:ARIANE 5 ROCKET BLASTS OFF WITH JULES VERNE VIDEO:ROLLOUT OF ARIANE 5 ROCKET TO LAUNCH PAD VIDEO:DETAILED ATV OVERVIEW BRIEFING VIDEO:NARRATED ATV LAUNCH-TO-DOCKING ANIMATION VIDEO:NARRATED ANIMATION OF THE RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING VIDEO:NARRATED ANIMATION OF ATV PERFORMING REBOOST VIDEO:NARRATED ANIMATION OF ATV REENTRY STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

    3. The Atlas 3 rocket lifts off with MBSAT. Photo: ILSAfter a clockwork countdown, the 170-foot tall rocket zoomed off Cape Canaveral’s pad 36B at 12:40 a.m. EST (0540 GMT).Night owls saw a spectacular ascent as the booster arced over the Atlantic and accelerated downrange with its flickering bluish flame. Space Coast residents at least 30 miles away felt the stiff rumble generated from the Russian-made RD-180 main engine blasting the Atlas 3 into the predawn darkness.Three minutes after liftoff, the spent first stage was jettisoned and the single-engine Centaur upper stage ignited for a 9-minute firing to achieve a temporary orbit. After coasting across the ocean, the Centaur performed a second burn as it neared Africa to reach an elliptical geosynchronous transfer orbit with a high point 22,332 statute miles, a perigee of 114 statute miles and inclination of 24.82 degrees to the equator. The MSAT satellite was safely released from its launcher 29 minutes into flight, capping the 70th consecutive successful Atlas launch. The remarkable string encompasses Atlas 1, 2, 3 and 5-families of rockets dating back to 1993.”This is a landmark launch for the Atlas team,” said Mark Albrecht, president of the Atlas marketing group, International Launch Services.”The Atlas rocket has a perfect record over more than a decade, but we’ll never get complacent. We still take it one launch at a time, and that discipline and dedication is what has given us the world’s most reliable vehicle.”Atlas is shooting for the commercial launch industry’s consecutive successful record that is currently held by the now-retired Ariane 4 rocket. The European-made vehicle accumulated 74 straight successes between 1995 and 2003 before it was removed from service in favor of the more powerful Ariane 5. A 25-minute time-lapse exposure shows the Atlas 3 rocket streaking into the night. Photo: Ben CooperThe beneficiary of Saturday’s successful launch was the Mobile Broadcasting Satellite, dubbed MBSAT for short. Built by Space Systems/Loral of Palo Alto, California, the 9,133-pound spacecraft will maneuver itself into a circular geostationary orbit 22,300 miles high and park over the equator at 144 degrees East longitude.Operated by Mobile Broadcasting Corp. of Tokyo and SK Telecom of Seoul, the craft will beam MPEG-4 video, CD-quality audio and data to mobile users equipped with palm-sized receivers, cellular phones and other portable devices across Japan and South Korea.Users on the go can receive the programming — whether they are traveling in cars, riding on trains or simply sitting in their offices.”People can enjoy broadcasting services anytime, anywhere,” said Masashi Suenaga, vice president of Mobile Broadcasting Corp.Japanese customers are expecting about nine video choices including 24-hour news, sports and entertainment, 60 audio channels across a full-range of music genre and several data-cast services. Subscribers in Korea will receive fewer channels.The world’s first Digital Multimedia Broadcasting System works by uplinking the programming from a ground center to the orbiting MBSAT. The satellite then distributes the video, audio and data to its coverage zone using a large, 40-foot parabolic antenna. An artist’s concept of the MBSAT spacecraft in orbit. Credit: MBSAT”The MBSAT satellite will host one of the most cutting edge applications driving the satellite industry beyond basic broadcasting,” said C. Patrick DeWitt, president, Space Systems/Loral.Ground-based signal repeaters will fill the satellite reception gaps, which can be created by large buildings blocking the space transmissions.MBSAT features two high-power transponders for direct broadcasting, with one transponder providing coverage for Japan and the other for Korea. Two additional transponders provide links to terrestrial repeater networks.Once MBSAT arrives at its final orbital position and undergoes testing, the broadcasting services are expected to hit the marketplace in July.Saturday’s launch was the fifth for Lockheed Martin’s Atlas 3 rocket fleet since debuting in 2000. Developed as a transitional vehicle between the older Atlas models and next-generation Atlas 5, the Atlas 3 has proved the reliability of the new Russian RD-180 engine and stretched Centaur upper stage used by the Atlas 5 family. Now, Atlas 3 is being phased out in favor of Atlas 5. The Atlas 3 has just one additional launch scheduled for early next year carrying a classified U.S. National Reconnaissance Office spy satellite payload. The next launch for the Atlas fleet will use the older Atlas 2AS vehicle to place the Japanese Superbird 6 communications satellite into orbit on April 15 from Cape Canaveral. That rocket is already assembled on pad 36A.

    4. “The impact sounds spectacular, and it will be,” said Tony Colaprete, the LCROSS project scientist. “But you have to consider impacts of this size hit the Moon three or four times a month, essentially once a week. What’s unique about the LCROSS impact is we know exactly where and when, so we can actually coordinate all of these eyes to look at it.

Credit: NASADuration: LRO has a one-year exploration mission followed by a possible three-year science mission. Mass: The total mass at launch is 1,916 kilograms (4,224 pounds). The dry mass is 1,018 kilograms (2,244 pounds), and fuel is 898 kilograms (1,980 pounds). Power: Spacecraft power is 685 watts. Dimensions: Stowed in the rocket (solar array and high-gain antenna folded up), LRO is 152 inches tall. LRO measures 103 inches from the instrument module to the stowed solar array and 108 inches from the stowed high-gain antenna to Mini-RF antenna. After launch, LRO’s deployed solar array is 168 inches ?? 126 inches. The three panels together are 168 inches wide and extend out from the spacecraft 126 inches. The deployed high-gain antenna extends out 102 inches. Fine Pointing: The spacecraft maintains pointing control to 60 arc seconds. Solar Array: The spacecraft has articulated solar arrays and Li-ion battery. Telemetry: Telemetry is Ka-band hi-rate downlink and S-band up/down low rate Data Volume and Maximum Downlink Rate: The data volume is 461 Gb per day and downlink is 100 Mb per second. Spacecraft Provider: The spacecraft was built by engineers at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Orbit: The trip to the moon will take approximately four days. LRO will then enter an elliptical orbit, also called the commissioning orbit. From there, it will be moved into its final orbit ?? a circular polar orbit approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles) above the moon’s surface. Mission Operations Center: The Mission Operations Center (MOC) resides at NASA Goddard Space Flight in Greenbelt, Md. Engineers at Goddard will control the spacecraft after separation, during lunar orbit insertion, and for mission operations. The MOC flows raw data to principal investigators. Planetary Data System: Principal investigators will deliver instrument data to the Planetary Data System within six months after initial operations. The Planetary Data System is a publicly accessible repository of science data for planetary missions. Project Cost: The project’s life cost is approximately $500 million.InstrumentsCRaTER – The Principal Investigator is Dr. Harlan Spence, Boston University, Boston.

The instrument mass is 13.8 kilograms (30 pounds) and the average power is 7.0 watts. Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER)The primary goal of CRaTER is to characterize the lunar radiation environment in terms of the different types of charged particles and their energies, particularly above 10 MeV. Radiation comes from the sun and beyond the Solar System (galactic cosmic rays). These data will allow scientists to determine the potential biological impacts of the radiation. CRaTER will also test models of radiation effects and shielding and measure radiation absorption by human tissue-like plastic, aiding in the development of protective technologies to help keep crews safe.CRaTER measures the energy deposited by cosmic rays over a wide energy range behind different amounts of tissue-equivalent plastic (TEP). Radiation passing through the telescope, including ions and electrons, and to a lesser extent neutrons and gamma rays, loses energy while passing through silicon detectors and the TEP. When ionizing radiation passes through a detector a signal is produced that is proportional to the total energy lost in the detector. Detectors are in pairs, one thicker and one thinner, which when combined, provide measurements of the linear energy transfer (LET) over the range of 0.1 keV/??m to 2.2 MeV/??m, a range relevant to radiobiology. Measured LET is used to understand how radiation loss evolves in human tissue and how dose rates change during periods of heightened solar activity and ultimately over the course of the solar cycle. CRaTER will make the first direct, high-resolution measurements in deep space of the LET spectrum of energetic radiation. These data will be of major importance not only for human exploration but also for better understanding radiation effects in spacecraft systems. Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment (DLRE)The objective of DLRE is to measure lunar surface temperatures at scales that provide essential information for future surface operations and exploration. The temperature of the lunar surface and subsurface is a critical environmental parameter for future human and robotic exploration. While the Apollo missions were all targeted to equatorial landing sites and were only conducted during the lunar day, NASA’s new lunar exploration program will involve exploration of a much wider range of latitudes and astronaut stays of longer than two weeks. Both types of missions involve considerably more challenging thermal environments and will benefit greatly from a comprehensive global thermal mapping dataset that Diviner will provide. A key objective is to determine the temperatures within permanently shadowed areas, which would be well below 100 K (-279 degrees F), to understand the potential of these areas to harbor water ice. Orbital thermal mapping measurements also provide detailed information on surface parameters such as composition, hazards, rough terrain, or rocks. The Diviner instrument will be able to determine surface temperatures to within 5 degrees C across areas as small as 300 m using 9 different wavelengths between 7 and 200 microns. The structure consists of an optics bench assembly, a motor driven elevation/azimuth yoke, and an instrument mount. The optics bench holds all of the optical subassemblies (the mirrors and detectors) and is suspended from the yoke. Motors on the yoke allow the instrument to be pointed in different directions and scan across the surface. The instrument is temperature controlled. Radiometric calibration is provided by viewing of blackbody and solar targets mounted on the yoke. Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) The goal of the Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) is to map the entire lunar surface in the far ultraviolet part of the spectrum. LAMP will search for surface ice and frost in the polar regions and provide images of permanently shadowed regions, illuminated only by starlight and the glow of interplanetary hydrogen emission, known as the Lyman Alpha line. LAMP is an imaging ultraviolet spectrometer based on an instrument that is currently on its way to Pluto (the ALICE UV spectrometer). The instrument detects ultraviolet light between 1,200 – 1,800 ?. Building up data over the course of the mission will allow surface resolutions of a few kilometers with high signal-to-noise ratio. Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) The Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) will measure the neutron flux from the moon from thermal energies up to 15 MeV. LEND will create maps of surface and subsurface (down to ~1 meter) hydrogen distribution by measuring the epithermal neutron flux (0.4 eV-100 eV) with high-spatial resolution (10 km Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM)). LEND will be able to detect hydrogen in permanently shadowed craters near the lunar poles that may be water ice. Detection of water ice deposits will identify a critical resource for the future long-term human presence on the moon. LEND will also gather information about the neutron component of the lunar radiation environment, also extremely important for its impact on astronaut health. LEND is a neutron spectrometer similar to another instrument, the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND) that has been operating around Mars since 2001 on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. The neutrons measured by these instruments are formed by cosmic-ray interactions with the planetary surface. If hydrogen is present, it will change the energy spectrum of those neutrons, providing quantitative information on hydrogen distribution. Unlike HEND, LEND is designed with a passive collimator that provides high spatial resolution (10 km FWHM) of neutron emission at the lunar surface. No other neutron instrument with this imaging capability has ever flown in space.Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) investigation will provide a precise global lunar topographic model and geodetic grid that will serve as the framework to enable precise target location, safe landing, and surface mobility to carry out exploratory activities. LOLA will also characterize the polar illumination environment by mapping the details of the topography, and image permanently shadowed polar regions of the moon to identify possible locations of surface ice crystals in shadowed polar craters. Building on our previous experiences on the moon and Mars, we now know that topography at scales from local to global is necessary for landing safely. In addition, it preserves the record of the evolution of the surface that contributes to decisions as to where to explore. The LOLA instrument pulses a single laser at 1,064 nm wavelength laser, splitting the output into five beams that illuminates surface 28 times per second. For each beam, LOLA measures time of flight (range), pulse spreading (surface roughness), and transmit/return energy (surface reflectance). This allows the topography to be determined, along with an indication of whether the surface is rough or smooth at small scales and any changes in the surface brightness. With its two dimensional spot pattern, LOLA unambiguously determines slopes along and across the orbit track. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC)LROC is designed to address two of the prime LRO measurement requirements: (1) Assess meter scale features to facilitate selection of future landing sites on the moon, and (2) acquire images of the poles every orbit to characterize the polar illumination environment (100-meter scale), identifying regions of permanent shadow and permanent or near-permanent illumination throughout a full lunar year. In addition to these two main objectives, the LROC team plans to conduct meter-scale mapping of polar regions, 3-dimensional observations to enable derivation of meter-scale surface features, global multispectral imaging, and production of a global landform map. LROC will also reimage sites photographed during Apollo to measure recent meteorite impact rates and better understand the potential hazard from these impacts. LROC consists of two narrow-angle cameras (NACs) to provide 0.5 meter scale panchromatic images over a 5-km swath, a wide-angle camera (WAC) to provide images at a scale of 100 meter in seven color bands over a 60-km swath, and a Sequence and Compressor System (SCS) supporting data acquisition for both cameras. LROC is a modified version of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s ConTeXt Camera (CTX) and MARs Color Imager (MARCI) provided by Malin Space Science Systems (MSSS) in San Diego, Calif. Mini-RFMini-RF on LRO will provide observations of the permanently shadowed areas by using radar illumination of the surface at resolutions of 30 and 150 meters. The returned data will also be used to define the manner in which the radar energy is scattered and reflected back to the spacecraft. Depending upon the characteristics of the reflected energy, it will be possible to determine if ice is present in significant quantities in the areas of permanent shadow. Because radar uses wavelengths of 8-12 GHz (X band) and 2 GHz (S band) it is sensitive to surface roughness (rocks) and can be used to map rock distribution. A less advanced version of this instrument is being flown on the Chandrayaan-1 mission and those data will be used to guide the higher resolution and more advanced measurements made by Mini-RF. The Mini-RF is a technology demonstration of an advanced synthetic aperture radar (SAR), capable of measurements in X-band and S-band. Mini-RF will demonstrate new lightweight SAR communication technologies and locate potential water ice. The Mini-RF instrument consists of electronic boxes and an antenna. The antenna is mounted on the side of the spacecraft and it points at an angle of 50 degrees. An image is produced by the motion of the spacecraft.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

An artist’s concept of AEHF 1. Credit: Lockheed MartinUnited Launch Alliance technicians have erected the rocket’s bronze first stage and the Centaur upper stage aboard the mobile launching platform that’s parked inside the Complex 41 assembly building.Sporting a large nose cone and three strap-on solid-fueled boosters, the vehicle will form one of the most powerful lifters in the U.S. inventory. It’s known as the 531 configuration in the Atlas’ modular family.All that thrust will propel the Air Force’s first Advanced Extremely High Frequency spacecraft into orbit on July 30 from the Complex 41 launch pad. The morning’s window extends from 8:05 to 10:05 a.m. EDT (1205-1405 GMT).Built by Lockheed Martin with help from Northrop Grumman, the AEHF 1 satellite begins a new generation of geosynchronous spacecraft that relay secure communications amongst the national leadership and battlefield commanders.”Launching the first AEHF satellite will mark yet another revolution in assured military satellite communications by a government and industry team that has delivered unmatched capabilities for secure transmission of the highest priority military information,” said Stuart Linsky, Northrop Grumman vice president for satellite communications. An artist’s concept of the AEHF coverage patterns. Credit: Lockheed MartinThe new AEHF birds will replace the aging Milstar satellites in providing vital links that are dependable, jam-resistent and immune from interception.”AEHF will play an integral role in our national security space architecture, and we look forward to providing this new capability to the warfighter,” said Col. Michael Sarchet, commander of the Protected Satellite Communications Group at the U.S. Air Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.”This sophisticated satellite was designed, built and tested by a joint government/industry team dedicated to providing secure, real-time connectivity to deployed forces around the globe.”Designers say one AEHF spacecraft has more capacity than Milstar’s five-satellite constellation combined and its faster data rates will benefit tactical military communications, enabling higher quality maps, targeting data and live video to be transmitted without being detected by the enemy.”Assured communications for our military services is absolutely essential wherever they may be deployed,” Linsky said. “Capabilities provided by AEHF will give more warfighters access to the protected communications they need.”Two more AEHF satellites are built and progressing through factory testing. Their launches aboard Atlas 5 rockets are expected by 2012.”We are very proud of our role in providing critical protected communications systems for the nation and have great confidence in the unprecedented new capabilities this vitally important satellite will provide to the warfighter,” said Mike Davis, Lockheed Martin’s AEHF vice president. An artist’s concept of the three AEHF satellites. Credit: Lockheed MartinThe Air Force said AEHF 1 arrived in Florida on May 24 to undergo the final preparations for flight. The craft will be checked out, then fueled and encapsulated within its launch shroud at a satellite processing facility. Delivery of the payload to the rocket’s Vertical Integration Facility at Complex 41 for attachment atop the Centaur upper stage occurs a couple of weeks before liftoff.Once the Atlas’ initial assembly is finished — albeit without the payload or nose cone yet — the rocket will be temporarily transported to the launch pad at the end of June for a countdown dress rehearsal and fueling test. Afterwards, the mobile platform hauls the rocket back to hangar to receive the AEHF satellite.This will be the 22nd launch for the Atlas 5 since 2002 and the ninth dedicated Defense Department mission. Atlas completed two civil and military flights earlier this year to deploy NASA’s new Sun-watching observatory and the Air Force’s X-37B experimental spaceplane.See our for previous launch coverage.STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

Liftoff of MAVEN occurred on time atop an Atlas 5 rocket at 1:28 p.m. EST (1828 GMT). Credit: Pat Corkery/United Launch Alliance”What a Monday at the office,” said David Mitchell, MAVEN’s project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.The Mars-bound spacecraft, weighing as much as a fully loaded SUV, blasted off at 1:28 p.m. EST (1828 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, Fla.Dodging clouds from an incoming weather front, the 188-foot-tall Atlas 5 launcher leisurely ascended from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 41 on the power of its Russian-made RD-180 engine.Getting lighter as the first stage burned its supplies of propellant, the Atlas 5 broke the sound barrier about a minute-and-a-half later, rocketing into the stratosphere and leaving Earth’s veneer of air behind.The rocket’s kerosene-fueled first stage, painted a gleaming bronze, shut down and jettisoned about four minutes after liftoff, yielding to a Centaur upper stage for the final maneuvers to place the 5,420-pound MAVEN spacecraft on a hyperbolic escape trajectory to break free of the grip of Earth’s gravity.The Centaur stage released the MAVEN probe about 53 minutes into the mission, notching another success for ULA’s workhorse Atlas 5 rocket, which made its seventh flight of the year Monday.A few minutes after separation from the Atlas 5 rocket, MAVEN radioed its status to antennas in Australia, confirming its health as it extended two appendages containing more than 2,000 power-generating solar cells to begin charging the craft’s batteries.By 4 p.m. EST, two-and-a-half hours after launch, MAVEN was 14,000 miles from Earth and speeding away. Artist’s concept of MAVEN deploying from the Centaur upper stage. Credit: United Launch AllianceEngineers planned to analyze telemetry data from MAVEN overnight Monday, assess the health of the spacecraft, and formally transition the mission into the cruise phase Tuesday.The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission, or MAVEN, was conceived to solve the mystery of how the Martian atmosphere was stripped from the red planet, a landmark event that eroded the world’s ability to support life.Bruce Jakosky, a scientist at the University of Colorado at Boulder, dreamed up the mission 10 years ago.”After 10 years of doing this, I don’t have the words to describe what I’m feeling,” Jakosky said. “It’s every possible emotion, but they’re all positive.”After winning funding from NASA in 2008, MAVEN was given a launch opportunity in November 2013.”Five years ago, we put in Nov. 18, 2013, as our planned launch date, and we hit it,” Mitchell said.Big challenges loom ahead of MAVEN, especially a crucial 38-minute thruster firing in September 2014 to put the school bus-sized spacecraft in orbit around Mars.Before then, MAVEN will go through a program of testing and checkouts to ensure everything is in tip-top shape for the Mars arrival on Sept. 22, 2014.”I’ve been incredibly nervous for the last 10 years,” Jakosky said. “I know that we do lose spacecraft on launch. Not every launch goes smoothly. In fact, that’s the single biggest potential opportunity to lose the mission, so getting past this hurdle is a really big one. Now we get to the next hurdle where have potential to lose the mission, which will be Mars orbit insertion.”MAVEN’s next milestone is a Dec. 3 engine burn to adjust the probe’s path toward Mars, the first of four course correction maneuvers planned during the mission’s 10-month cruise. The Dec. 3 burn will adjust MAVEN’s course to aim for Mars. Engineers purposefully put the spacecraft on a trajectory to miss the red planet following launch because the Atlas 5 rocket’s Centaur stage is shadowing MAVEN on the escape path from Earth. Artist’s concept of MAVEN at Mars. Credit: Lockheed MartinScientists don’t want the Centaur rocket stage, brimming with toxic propellants and strong gas tanks, crashing into Mars and contaminating the surface.Mitchell said ground controllers will start activating MAVEN’s eight science instruments for tests in December, and some of the payloads will take data during the voyage to Mars. MAVEN’s ultraviolet imaging spectrometer will observe comet ISON in December, Jakosky said.Once MAVEN is at Mars, the probe will drop into an operational elliptical orbit. MAVEN is due to begin collecting science by early November 2014, according to NASA.MAVEN will do a lap around Mars ever four-and-a-half hours, reaching as far as 3,860 miles from the planet and as close as 93 miles above its surface, close enough for the spacecraft sample the upper atmosphere each time around.Five times during its one-year prime mission, MAVEN will alter its orbit to dip deeper into the wispy layers of gas enshrouding Mars, plowing through the atmosphere just 77 miles above the red planet.”If you put your hand while you’re going through, you would feel a light breeze,” said Guy Beutelschies, MAVEN program manager at Lockheed Martin Corp. “It’s really a modest amount of pressure out there, but it is a tremendous value for the scientists to be able to go down and get that in situ measurement of the atmosphere.”MAVEN’s solar panels are canted at an angle on each end, making the spacecraft more aerodynamic when it flies through the outer atmosphere of Mars, according Beutelschies.The spacecraft is outfitted with instrumentation to keep track of solar activity, measure the make-up of the Martian upper atmosphere, and observe how the atmosphere moves, grows and shrinks during the mission.NASA has committed to paying for MAVEN to collect scientific data for at least one year – until late 2015 – but the platform has enough fuel to last up to a decade.One of MAVEN’s ancillary objectives is to serve as a communications relay platform for NASA’s rovers on the surface of Mars. The space agency relies on orbiters above Mars to function as faster radio links with the rovers than if engineers were forced to communicate with them directly.But research is the reason for MAVEN’s existence.”It’s clear that major questions about the history of Mars center on the history of its climate and atmosphere, and how that’s influenced the surface, geology and the possibility for life,” Jakosky said.Scientists know Mars today is a barren world with its water locked up underground or in immense polar ice caps. Thanks to missions like the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers, geologists have obtained a window into the Martian environment billions of years ago, when Mars had ample flowing water and all the chemical ingredients required to give rise to life.But there is something missing.Data from previous missions lack insight into how and when Mars changed, and MAVEN’s job is to find out what triggered the dramatic climate shift.”We’re trying to understand basically why the climate chnaged on Mars, why Mars appears to have gone from an environment that was habitable – to microorganisms at least – to one that is the cold, dry, uninhabitable environment we see today,” Jakosky said.Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

Artist’s concept of MAVEN at Mars. Credit: NASA/GoddardThe Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution, or MAVEN, mission carries a suite of instruments built by scientists across the United States to sample the red planet’s upper atmosphere and gauge its composition, dynamics and response to a stream of radioactive particles from the sun.Scientists do not know how Mars transformed from a world with lakes, rivers and potential life into a barren planet without any sign of life today.”We’re trying to understand why the climate changed on Mars – why Mars appears to have gone from an environment that was habitable, to microorganisms at least, to one that is the cold, dry, uninhabitable environment we see today,” said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN’s principal investigator from the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.Data from ongoing Mars missions, including NASA’s Curiosity rover, have convinced scientists Mars once had ample moisture and harbored warmer temperatures, giving it all the ingredients necessary to support life at some point in its 4.6-billion-year history.”We don’t just launch missions to Mars one at a time,” said John Grunsfeld, head of NASA’s science division. “We have an integrated program of Mars exploration. We’ve been following a path of looking for water on Mars, looking for current water and past water. We’ve now confirmed that … We’re transitioning into the search for biosignatures, past evidence that life could have started on Mars. And we don’t have that answer yet. That’s part of the quest trying to answer, are we alone in the universe, in a broader sense.”Despite an onslaught of missions over the past decade-and-a-half, including four rovers, a stationary lander, and four orbiters, there is scant evidence for how and when Mars lost its thick atmosphere, leaving a thin blanket of gas just above the surface.Scientists posed that question when developing the proposal for the $671 million MAVEN mission in 2003, Jakosky said.”One of the big questions has been what happened to the climate? Why did it change? What we’re trying to do is answer that question of where did the water go? Where did the [carbon dioxide] from the early thick atmosphere go? There are two places it can go,” Jakosky said. “It can go down into the crust and be locked up there, or it can go up and be lost to space. We have evidence that both of those happened, but we don’t see reservoirs of [carbon dioxide] in the crust that could explain what happened to the early thick atmosphere. We’re trying to explain the role of loss to space.”Asked if he felt anxious, nervous or excited on the eve of launch, Jakosky replied: “All of the above.”MAVEN is the first mission dedicated to surveying the Martian upper atmosphere, and the probe also hosts an Electra radio to join NASA and European orbiters providing communications relay between Earth and the rovers on the surface.”By looking at the nature of the upper atmosphere today, we learn about the processes that control the atmopshere, and we’re going to have a good understanding of what the history of the atmosphere has been,” Jakosky said.Fitted with eight instruments, MAVEN is set to blast off from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at 1:28 p.m. EST (1828 GMT) Monday aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket.Powered by a Russian-built RD-180 engine, the Atlas 5 will ascend from the Florida coastline, break the sound barrier about 78 seconds into flight and rocket into the upper atmosphere in four minutes before releasing its kerosene-fueled first stage to fall back into the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlas 5 rocket is poised on the launch pad after rollout Saturday. Credit: NASA/Kim ShiflettAn RL10 engine on the Atlas 5’s Centaur upper stage will ignite two times, first to put MAVEN in a parking orbit around Earth, then to shoot the 5,420-pound spacecraft toward Mars. Deployment of MAVEN is expected about an hour after launch.MAVEN is programmed to radio its status to a pair of ground stations in Australia moments later, and its two wings of power-generating solar panels should be unfurled within 15 minutes of spacecraft separation, according to David Mitchell, MAVEN’s project manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.The solar arrays stretch 37.5 feet tip-to-tip, about the length of a school bus. Filled with propellant, MAVEN weighs about the same as a fully-loaded SUV, according to NASA.The trip to Mars will take 10 months, and MAVEN is due to put itself into orbit there with a make-or-break 38-minute braking burn scheduled for Sept. 22, 2014, assuming the launch occurs as planned Monday.”There’s quite an interest in this mission,” said Omar Baez, NASA’s launch director for the MAVEN mission. “You wouldn’t think so in that it’s not as sexy as the rovers going over the planet, but this is kind of like a weather satellite for mars, and it’s providing relay. It’s real science.”Several more engine firings next fall will put MAVEN into its operational orbit, which will take the probe as close as 93 miles to Mars and as far as 3,860 miles, completing lap of the planet every four-and-a-half hours.”Every orbit, we’re dipping down below the altitude from which gas is lost, so we sample that column directly on every orbit,” Jakosky said.The probe has to extend several instrument booms once it arrives at Mars, allowing MAVEN’s sensors to be far enough away from the spacecraft to avoid interference and collect pristine measurements. One of the deployable platforms holds three instruments, allowing those sensors to pivot and point toward Mars while the craft’s solar arrays are aimed the sun to charge its batteries.By early November 2014, MAVEN should be ready to begin its science campaign, which will last at least one Earth year.MAVEN’s science instruments come from institutions across the United States and France. Some of the payloads will track the sun’s influence on Mars. Diagram of MAVEN and its instrument package. Credit: NASA/Goddard”Mars is responding in various ways, literally bristling with loss processes,” said Janet Luhmann, MAVEN’s deputy principal investigator from the University of California at Berkeley. “MAVEN is instrumented specifically to be able to measure what’s coming in and what’s going out.”Unlike other Mars missions, MAVEN does not carry a camera. As a cost-saving measure, Jakosky said he decided to limit MAVEN’s expenditures to those focused on its prime science mission.Other sensors will identify the gases, ions and elements making up the tenuous outer reaches of the Martian atmosphere.”This will allow us to estimate over long time periods, on the order of billions of years … how long Mars has been exposed to this loss process and, therefore, how much atmosphere has been removed in this way,” Luhmann said.One way MAVEN will try to quantify how much of the atmosphere was lost to space is measuring concentrations of heavy and lighter isotopes of gases. Scientists think Mars should hold a greater number of heavy isotopes because lighter atoms would have been easier to strip away with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles coming from the sun.”Over billions and billions of years, you leave more of the heavy stuff in the atmosphere,” said Paul Mahaffy, lead scientist for one of MAVEN’s instruments.”What got me into this were the measurements of isotopes of the noble gases in the atmosphere,” Jakosky said. “The key one that got me excited about this was the ratio of argon-38 to argon-36 because on Mars, it’s been measured through Martian meteorites and now confirmed with [the Curiosity rover], that the ratio of argon-38 to argon-36 is about 20-to-30 percent greater than on Earth, and the only thing that can explain that is loss to space, so to me that’s a direct measurement proving that atmospheric loss to space was an important process.”Earth’s strong magnetic field makes it more resistant to atmospheric decay from the solar wind, but Mars does not have the global magnetism required to hold on to air over billions of years.”We think that escape to space has been responsible for removing a lot of gas from the atmosphere, and we designed this mission to try to understand how those processes work, and see if we can measure things that will tell us how much gas has escaped over time,” Jakosky said.MAVEN will get to Mars just after the peak of the sun’s 11-year solar cycle, so scientists hope to get a front-row seat on how a strong solar wind impacts the planet’s atmosphere.”What we’re really getting at is understanding the history of the climate, the history of the volatile inventory, and I think the understanding of the history of the habitability of Mars by microbes,” Jakosky said. “I see it as a geology mission, or an astrobiology mission, because that’s what we’re getting at by studying the top of the atmosphere and its interactions with the sun.”Follow Stephen Clark on Twitter: .Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

Credit: Stephen Clark/Spaceflight Now”NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory will provide a powerful new set of eyes, ears and magnetic sensors to better understand how the changing sun can disrupt our high-tech existence,” said Madhulika Guhathukarta, lead scientist for the Living With a Star program, which seeks to study the link between the sun and Earth.The satellite’s three instruments will take rapid-fire images of the sun, peer into the solar interior and measure its extreme ultraviolet radiation output.”It will observe the sun faster, deeper and in greater detail than any previous observatories, breaking barriers of space, time and clarity that have long blocked progress in solar physics,” Guhathukarta said.SDO will return gargantuan volumes of data during its mission, beaming the information to dedicated antennas at White Sands, N.M. The sensors will send up to 150 million bits of data per second, almost 50 times more science data than any other mission in NASA history.”SDO will observe the sun almost continuously for more than five years, sending back data at an astounding rate of one-and-a-half terabytes per day,” said Elizabeth Citrin, the mission’s project manager. “That’s almost 500,000 music downloads per day. With this wealth of data, we will learn how solar activity is created and how it will affect space weather. And space weather is what affects us humans here on Earth, our satellites, communications, [and] power grids.”SDO will study the sun for at least five years, and managers hope the satellite will last a decade.Taking advantage of a lull in brisk ground winds, the 191-foot-tall Atlas 5 booster ignited its Russian-made engine and majestically lifted off from Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral at 10:23 a.m. EST (1523 GMT).NASA tried launching Wednesday morning, but persistent winds in Central Florida thwarted those plans.Burning a mix of kerosene and liquid oxygen, the rocket thundered to the fringes of space and accelerated to more than 11,000 mph in just four minutes. The first stage next shut down and backed away, and the Centaur upper stage fired its hydrogen-fueled engine for 11 minutes to reach a temporary parking orbit.After an 87-minute coast through space, the Centaur ignited again to propel the 6,800-pound satellite to a transfer orbit with a high point of 21,945 miles, a low point of 1,552 miles and an inclination of 28.5 degrees.The Atlas 5 deployed SDO at 12:11 p.m. EST (1711 GMT) as the spacecraft flew over the Pacific Ocean.”The Atlas and Centaur were flawless,” said Omar Baez, NASA’s launch director for the mission. “They got us to where the satellite needed to go.”NASA confirmed the satellite deployed its two electricity-producing solar paddles soon after separation, beginning two months of orbit-raising, testing and commissioning before the observatory begins normal operations.”All the right things that they wanted to do in those crucial first few minutes has happened like clockwork,” Baez said.Six main engine burns and a handful of trim cleanup maneuvers are on tap over the next three weeks to raise SDO’s altitude to a circular orbit more than 22,000 miles above Earth. An artist’s concept of the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Credit: NASASDO will also unfurl two Ka-band high-gain antennas about six hours into the mission. The observatory’s instruments will open their doors after it reaches a circular geosynchronous orbit, according to Citrin.”The activities are interspersed, but basically the first month is spacecraft checkout and getting on orbit, second month is instrument checkout and the third month data’s coming back,” Citrin said.The satellite will be stationed in an unusual inclined geosynchronous orbit, and SDO will appear to hover in a figure-eight pattern oscillating about 28.5 degrees on both sides of the equator. The probe will remain in constant view over the White Sands ground station throughout its mission.Officials selected the orbit to maximize SDO’s data return and minimize the time the satellite will spend in Earth’s shadow, when the sun would be blocked from view.”Because we have so much data, we don’t have an on-board recorder,” Citrin said. “There is no recorder that can handle this volume of data, so we have to send our data directly down to the ground.”Scientists will provide near-live data to researchers and the public on the Internet. Imagery from SOHO, an SDO predecessor, is also available online.But SDO will snap pictures at a higher rate and with better resolution than any sun-watching probe before. The satellite will record images every second with 10 times greater resolution than high-definition television.The objective of the mission is to better understand the relationship between the sun and Earth, especially as society relies more on high-tech gadgets in everyday life.”Modern society is so dependent on satellite information that any variability caused by the sun has an impact. Solar variability can affect human spaceflight, satellite operations, smart power grids, GPS navigation, emergency radio communications, air travel, and financial services,” Guhathukarta said.The holy grail for space weather researchers is to refine forecast models predicting the impacts of streams of plasma coming from the sun during violent solar storms. Credit: Ben Cooper/Spaceflight Now”One of the goals for SDO is to say if solar activity is predictable, we should learn how to do it and try to develop the tools to do it,” said Phil Scherrer, principal investigator for the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager from Stanford University. “There are two questions. One is if it’s predictable and the second one is what are the tools to do the forecasting.”The charged particles are propelled away from the sun at more than a million miles per hour, and when the magnetic fields of the sun and Earth are aligned just right, the radiation can propogate at the north and south poles.These events, which originate in solar flares or coronal mass ejections, trigger costly consequences spanning the globe.A solar storm in March 1989 knocked out power to six million residents in Quebec, and an influx of radiation in October 2003 disrupted GPS navigation signals as far south as Florida, according to SDO officials.Solar activity is expected to increase in the next few years. An 11-year cycle governs the prevalence of solar storms, during which the sun alternates between relatively quiet and violent periods.The sun is currently in an unexpected extended solar minimum, but scientists say they are seeing an increase in sunspots, a sign that solar activity may be on the rise.SDO’s launch was delayed more than a year because of a cramped Atlas 5 rocket manifest, but solar activity remained low longer than predicted.”We very much wanted to start observing with SDO near minimum so we could watch the rise of activity,” Scherrer said. “We were a little late getting up in the sky, but the sun’s very cooperative.”The solar storms are powered by the sun’s ever-changing magnetic field.”Every time we look at the magnetic field of the sun, it’s different,” said Dean Pesnell, SDO project scientist. “We would like to study that magnetic field from its creation inside the sun, to coming out through the surface, and its eventual destruction above the surface of the sun.”SDO carries a a Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager that will investigate the interior source of the solar magnetic field, a bank of telescopes called the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly to take high-resolution snapshots of the sun’s surface, and the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment to take the pulse of the sun’s radiation output.The instruments will track developing solar storms from their genesis in the sun’s dynamo to their violent climax.”The variability of the sun is predominately caused by magnetic fields, so if we want to be able to predict that variability, we have to start with predicting the magnetic fields,” Scherrer said.HMI will use rapid-cadence magnetic field measurements at the sun’s surface to study the motion of materials deep inside the solar interior. The imager will offer improvements over a doppler sensor on SOHO.”The goal is to understand the relationship between the internal dynamics and magnetic activity,” Scherrer said. “With HMI, we can measure the structure, the flows and the dynamics in the interior of the sun, and we can measure the magnetic field at the surface.”HMI will also measure the direction of the magnetic field, helping scientists determine when solar flares and coronal mass ejections are more likely to affect Earth.

Credit: NASAThe AIA instrument package features four prominent turret-like telescopes bolted to the top of the spacecraft to gather images of the sun in a wide swath of temperatures ranging from 6,000 Kelvin to 1.5 million Kelvin. The sweltering temperatures measured by AIA are equivalent to between 10,340 degrees and 2.7 million degrees Fahrenheit.”On the Earth, we have these things called earthquakes,” said Alan Title, AIA chief scientist at the Lockheed Martin Solar Astrophysics Laboratory. “Earthquakes occur on tectonic plates. That’s where big masses of the Earth move across each other and create shears, and these plates break and release a lot of energy. On the sun, the magnetic fields are the logical equivalent of tectonic plates. And as they move and create shear, they have the potential of releasing huge amounts of energy.”The AIA telescopes will take a set of pictures every 10 seconds, creating images four times the size of a single HDTV frame. Scientists must use specially-outfitted monitors to see the pictures, according to Title.”We will be able to go in and blow up regions of the sun and look at very high time detail and spatial detail,” Pesnell said.NASA currently uses the TRACE spacecraft for up close looks at the sun, but AIA will provide improved resolution and observe the entire solar disk, instead of smaller sections.The EVE ultraviolet sensor will monitor the brightness of the sun and measure fluctuations in its radiation output.”The extreme ultraviolet radiation is extremely energetic. It’s much more energetic than the photons that we call the near-ultraviolet that reach the ground and cause sunburns,” said Tom Woods, EVE principal investigator at the University of Colorado’s Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics.Extreme ultraviolet waves are absorbed by the atmosphere before reaching Earth’s surface, but the radiation can wreak havoc with radio communications and GPS satellite navigation signals.Woods said data from SDO will be fed into NOAA and Air Force operational space weather forecast models.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:ATLAS 5 ROCKET BLASTS OFF!

This new vehicle could potentially help us do those missions better.”Built by Boeing Phantom Works, the 29-foot-long, 11,000-pound X-37B spacecraft sports a modest cargo bay, a powerful maneuvering engine, a deployable solar array, and stubby wings to guide the ship back to Earth after its mission.”Our top priority is demonstrating the vehicle itself,” Payton said. “This has an autonomous flight control system, a new generation of silica tile, a wealth of other new technologies that are one generation beyond the shuttle.”Although officials are openly discussing the X-37B platform itself, the Air Force is mum on exactly what payloads the unmanned ship carries inside its cargo hold, which is about the size of a pickup truck bed.”The actual on-orbit activities we do classify,” Payton said earlier this week in a conference call with reporters. “We’re doing that in this case for the actual experimental payloads that are on-orbit with the X-37.”It will land on a runway originally built for the space shuttle at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.Officially named the Orbital Test Vehicle, the prototype spaceplane is about one-quarter the size of a space shuttle orbiter.”The Orbital Test Vehicle combines the best of aircraft and spacecraft to enable flexible and responsive missions,” said Paul Rusnock, Boeing vice president of experimental systems and program director for the X-37B. “This first flight will demonstrate the readiness of the X-37B to begin serving the Air Force as it continues to investigate ways to make space access more routine, affordable and responsive.” The Atlas 5 rocket featured a 5.4-meter payload fairing and no solid rocket boosters. Credit: Stephen Clark/Spaceflight NowBesides saying the mission will demonstrate the craft’s high-tech capabilities, the Air Force is not releasing any information on what experiments or objectives are planned while the X-37B is in orbit.The mission entered a news blackout less than 20 minutes after the 196-foot-tall Atlas 5 rocket blasted off at 7:52 p.m. EDT (2352 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, Fla.The Atlas 5 rocket launched in the 501 configuration with a 5.4-meter payload fairing, no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage.Thursday’s launch was the first flight of that version of the Atlas 5, and it was the first time the rocket’s larger payload shroud has flown since 2006.”This vehicle is light enough to launch without the solid rocket motors even with the larger fairing, making this a rather unique configuration,” said Lt. Col. Erik Bowman, commander of the 45th Launch Support Squadron at Cape Canaveral.After flying vertically away from the launch pad at Complex 41, the Atlas 5’s Russian-made main engine steered the rocket east from the Space Coast and into a clear blue sky awash with breathtaking sunset colors.Less than four minutes into the flight, the Atlas 5 rocket was already at the edge of space, high enough to jettison the 17-foot diameter nose cone cocooning the miniature space shuttle.The Atlas first stage pulled away from the Centaur upper stage four-and-a-half minutes after liftoff, and the hydrogen-fueled RL10 engine ignited on time about 10 seconds later.After firing for nearly 13 minutes, the Centaur shut down on schedule. The upper stage cut loose of the spaceplane about 20 minutes after liftoff.United Launch Alliance and Air Force officials say the launch was successful.The Air Force is not releasing the ship’s planned orbit, but officials say it is designed to operate at altitudes between 110 and 500 nautical miles, or 126 to 575 statute miles. The Atlas 5 soars into the sky at dusk. See our photo gallery from . Credit: Ben Cooper/Spaceflight NowThe X-37B’s on-board engine is capable of significant maneuvers after the craft arrives in orbit.Once in space, the spaceplane was supposed to open its clamshell-like payload bay doors and unfurl its solar panel.During several weeks or months in orbit, the X-37B will be a testbed for secret new technologies.Future flights of the reusable spaceship could approach U.S. or foreign satellites, recover old spacecraft, or test out surveillance and repair techniques. The speculation leads some to voice concerns over the militarization of space.During a teleconference with reporters Tuesday, Payton said none of those activities are part of the X-37B’s first flight. The craft launching Thursday does not carry a robot arm like the shuttle, and there are no rendezvous objectives planned for the mission, according to Payton.Officials hope this test flight will lead to more responsive space systems, including reusable vehicles like the X-37B.”If we’re successful with this first launch, I would love to see us proliferate the X-37 idea and marry it up with Operationally Responsive Space,” Payton said in a March interview. “We could have an X-37 sitting at Vandenberg or at the Cape, and on comparitively short notice, depending on warfighter requirements, we could put a specific payload into the payload bay, launch it up on an Atlas or Delta, and then have it stay in orbit, do the job for the combatant commander, and come back home. And then the next flight, we could have a different payload inside, maybe even for a different combatant commander.” The X-37B spacecraft is encapsulated inside the Atlas 5 payload fairing. Credit: U.S. Air ForceThe Air Force does not plan to release any updates during the miniature shuttle’s flight, but a cadre of dedicated satellite observers on the ground could track the spaceplane’s orbit.The trackers may also see any objects deployed by the spacecraft.New heat shield technologies, advanced guidance and navigation, a solar power generation system, and new flight control systems are at the top of the list of public goals for the test flight.”The primary objectives of the X-37 are to [prove] a new batch of vehicle technologies for America’s future, plus readying and demonstrating the concept of operations for reusable experimental payloads,” Payton said.The X-37B will return to Earth only after it completes its top secret experiments in orbit.The mission will be controlled by the Air Force’s 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo.The length of the mission has not been determined, according to Payton. The craft can stay in orbit for up to 270 days.At the end of the flight, the craft’s main engine will fire to drop the ship from orbit. The spaceplane will re-enter the atmosphere on a computer-controlled autopilot and make a high-speed landing at nearly 300 mph.”Our re-entry activity is slightly different than the shuttle because the real-time human control won’t be there every single instance of de-orbit preps and de-orbit burn and entry,” Payton said. “It will be relying on its own autopilot, its own gyroscopes, its own GPS receivers, eventually its own altimeter. It will be on its own all the way through entry and landing. And that’s dramatically different than the way shuttle does it.” The X-37B spaceplane sits on a runway at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Credit: U.S. Air ForceA second spaceplane is under construction for launch some time next year. The Air Force will not set a specific launch date until the first X-37B safely returns.”The most important demonstration is on the ground,” Payton said. “Once we get the bird back, we’ll see what it really takes to turn this bird around and get it ready to go fly again, to learn how to do payload changeout on the ground, to learn how much it really costs to do this turnaround on the ground with these new technologies on the X-37 itself.”The Air Force hopes turnaround times and operations expenses prove faster and less costly than traditional space platforms.”There is much to learn in the first few flights on the technologies used on this vehicle, how quickly it can be readied for a re-flight, and on the operational utility,” said David Hamilton, director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. “We have started discussions with Air Force Space Command (officials) to plan for the possibility for transition to an operational capability, but the system first must prove its utility and cost effectiveness during the test program.”In development for more than a decade, the X-37B craft builds on earlier design and testing by NASA and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The Air Force took over the program in 2006.The program’s future, including the potential for operational sorties, hinges on the outcome of test flights in 2010 and 2011.”That all depends on the success of these first two birds,” Payton said. “Can we keep the [operations and maintenance] costs low? Can we turn them around between flights easily?”John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

The Automated Transfer Vehicle was lifted atop an adapter Feb. 4. Credit: ESA/CNES/ArianespaceOutfitted with eight supply racks, two more than the first two ATV missions, craft will carry about 1,300 pounds more dry cargo than the disposable freighter’s previous flight last year.”Every cubic centimeter of the carrier is at full capability,” said a European Space Agency fact sheet.The ATV is the space station’s largest resupply vessel following the retirement of the space shuttle.It’s also loaded with more than 3,000 pounds less rocket fuel than the ATV 2 flight, which boosted the space station’s orbit by 22 miles in June 2011. No such reboost is planned for the ATV 3 mission.Officials can adjust the cargo manifest on each ATV mission based on the needs of the space station. ATV 3 carries 220 pounds of pressurized gas and 75 gallons of potable water for the outpost’s atmosphere and residents.The spacecraft is being prepared for launch in March from the Guiana Space Center, a European-run spaceport in French Guiana on the northeast coast of South America.Already filled with propellant, water, pressurized air and oxygen, and most of its dry cargo, the 32-foot-long spacecraft was slowly towed from the Guiana Space Center’s S5 processing facility to the Ariane 5’s final assembly building Tuesday night, according to Massimo Cislaghi, ESA’s manager of the ATV 3 mission. The Ariane 5 rocket moved from the launcher integration building to the final assembly building in December. Credit: ESA/CNES/ArianespaceThe adapter connecting the ATV with the Ariane 5 launcher’s upper stage was scheduled to be added to the rocket Wednesday, and the 22-ton cargo freighter will be lifted on top of the launcher Thursday, crowning the 165-foot-tall vehicle. The Ariane 5’s payload fairing will be added to encapsulate the ATV on Feb. 27, according to Cislaghi.ATV 3 is nicknamed Edoardo Amaldi after the Italian physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in nuclear and particle physics and later helped foster the precursor to ESA.The ATV will refuel the space station with maneuvering propellant, replenish the outpost’s atmosphere with oxygen and air, and deliver 4,850 pounds of dry cargo, including spare parts, food and payloads.Launch of the ATV is scheduled for March 9 at about 1000 GMT (5 a.m. EST). The robotic spacecraft will dock with the space station’s Zvezda service module March 19 at 0238 GMT (10:38 p.m. EDT on March 18), according to projections.The launch and docking times will be adjusted over the coming weeks.Using special techniques while the ATV is mounted on top of the launcher, technicians will next week load nearly 1,179 pounds more cargo into the freighter’s pressurized cabin. The complex process will take two days to complete beginning Feb. 14, according to Cislaghi.Engineers expanded the late cargo load for ATV 3, doubling the mass of supplies to be installed inside the ship so close to liftoff over the second ATV mission, which launched in February 2011. Workers installed cargo bags into the ATV’s pressurized section in November. Credit: ESA/CNES/ArianespaceWorkers will place about 60 bags of cargo into the spacecraft next week, including crew care packages for each of the six residents aboard the international outpost.Another late addition to the ATV’s cargo manifest is a pump for the station’s urine processing system, which purifies waste water into drinking water for the crew aboard the orbiting lab.The fluids control pump assembly, provided by NASA, moves urine from a waste water tank into a distiller, which removes contaminants from the liquid.The 110-pound pump would normally be placed inside the ATV with other large pieces of cargo, but the assembly did not arrive when most of the ship’s payload was loaded last fall. Instead, the pump must be carefully lowered through the craft’s forward hatch, which points up when the ATV is attached to the Ariane 5 launcher.The Edoardo Amaldi cargo ship will remain attached to the space station until late August, when it will undock and burn up in Earth’s atmosphere, disposing of trash from the outpost.John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

See of the rocket’s colorful launch. Credit: Stephen Clark/Spaceflight NowThe 173-foot-tall rocket lit its hydrogen-fueled Vulcain 2 engine, sat on the launch pad for seven seconds as computers furiously checked the launcher’s health, then lit two solid rocket boosters to propel the 856-ton Ariane 5 into a sky painted with orange just after sunset at the spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.Liftoff occurred at precisely 2152:18 GMT (5:52:18 p.m. EDT; 6:52:18 p.m. local time), the instant Earth’s rotation placed the Ariane 5’s ELA-3 launch pad in the path of the International Space Station’s orbit.The launcher quickly rocketed into the sky, where the Ariane 5 clawed through wispy clouds before disappearing from view about 5 minutes later, leaving a twisting cloud of exhaust contorted by high-altitude winds and illuminated by the day’s last rays of sunlight.Sixty-four minutes later, after arriving in a near-circular 161-mile-high orbit, the Ariane 5’s upper stage deployed the fourth Automated Transfer Vehicle, a massive spacecraft financed by the European Space Agency and built by an industrial consortium led by Astrium Space Transportation.”It’s the end of the Ariane mission tonight, but the ATV mission has only started,” said Bart Reijnen, Astrium’s vice president of orbital systems and space exploration.The 44,610-pound spacecraft is beginning a 10-day journey to the space station, where it will dock to the lab’s aft port at approximately 1346 GMT (9:46 a.m. EDT) June 15.”Ariane 5 keeps breaking records of reliability, but also of availability, since tonight, again after a terrific countdown, the launcher left right on time,” said Stephane Israel, Arianespace’s chairman and CEO. “But it’s also performance, because with Albert Einstein, a payload of 20.2 metric tons was lofted into space, which was the heaviest load ever launched by Europe.”The unmanned freighter deployed its solar panels and a communications antenna boom about a half-hour after separation from the Ariane 5 upper stage Wednesday night. Over the next 10 days, the ATV will coast through space before beginning a series of engine burns to fine-tune its flight toward the space station.The cargo craft – named for renowned physicist Albert Einstein – is stocked with goods for science, repairs and the comfort of the space station’s six-person crew. Items include a European fluids experiment, a water pump for ESA’s Columbus module, a critical component for the outpost’s water recycling system, and containers of tiramisu and t-shirts, peanut butter and parmesan, and lasagna.The Italian food will arrive as Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano begins his third week about the complex after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on May 28 with Russian and American crewmates.”We are very much looking forward to the arrival of ATV 4 – Albert Einstein – one of the highlights of my increment. We are very much looking forward to it because it carries lots of experiments, our personal stuff and lots of food,” Parmitano said in a message from the space station. “We would like to congratulate the grounds teams, all of them, for a successful launch.”The ATV also carries fuel to pump into tanks on the Zvezda service module, and its load of propellant will also be used to reboost the space station and steer the complex clear of space debris during the craft’s docked stay, which extends until at least October.Water and gas tanks aboard Albert Einstein contain 1,245 pounds of potable water and 220 pounds of air and pure oxygen.Read our for more details on ATV 4’s cargo load.Europe delivers the supplies and fuel under a barter agreement with NASA to pay for the ESA’s share of the space station’s operating costs.”For us, kilos on ATV are money,” said Jean-Jacques Dordain, ESA’s director-general. “We have to pay our share of the common oeprating costs. This is what you do when you own an apartment. You have to pay your share, and we are paying in kilos. The more kilos we are sending to ISS the better because it reduces the bill we have to pay to our partners. This is why using the full capacity of ATV is very important to us.”Every kilo must be useful, but we have succeeded with our parnters to use the full capacity of ATV,” Dordain said.

Credit: NASAThe ATV’s arrival at the space station is set for June 15, but engineers are concerned a laser reflector mounted aboard the outpost was damaged during the docking of a Russian Progress cargo craft in late April.The Progress supply freighter failed to deploy one of its rendezvous antennas after launch, but Russian officials elected to continue the mission’s approach fo the space station’s aft docking port on the Zvezda service module, the same location designed for the ATV, which uses a Russian docking system.Astronauts mounted an array of laser optical reflectors around the Zvezda docking port for the ATV’s laser navigation sensors to use during the rendezvous. During the last 250 meters, or 820 feet, of the approach, the European cargo ship fires laser pulses at the reflectors, which bounce the signal back to receivers on the ATV to tell the spacecraft the location and range to the space station.But the lodged antenna on the Progress docking in late April may have struck one of the reflectors.Mike Suffredini, NASA’s space station program manager, said he doesn’t think the antenna damaged the reflector – called an MRR. He described the hat-shaped antenna, which has rim of thin aluminum, as “very flimsy.””We expect that [the antenna] did contact the outer mold line of the docking ring and is probably resting on this MRR – this retroreflector that the ATV needs to use,” Suffredini said in a May 22 press conference. “But the loads are such that we don’t expect that we damaged the retroreflector.”The Progress supply craft is scheduled to leave the station June 11, and engineers will scrutinize video from the ship’s on-board camera to examine the reflector for damage.”In the act of rubbing up along the side of the docking ring, [the antenna] might have put some contamination on the retroreflector and damaged the reflector so it won’t reflect the right energy” to the ATV’s laser navigation sensors.If engineers find damage, there is a spare reflector aboard the space station that could be installed on a spacewalk before the ATV arrives.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

    9. Atlas-Centaur rockets have been used since the 1960s to dispatch ground-breaking missions for NASA, including the Surveyors to the Moon, Mariner flights to Mars, Venus and Mercury, and the Pioneers that were the first to visit Jupiter and beyond.In its newest era, the Atlas 5 rocket sent the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to the red planet in 2005, propelled the New Horizons probe toward Pluto and the solar system’s outer fringes in 2006, doubled up with the dual Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and LCROSS impactor to the Moon in 2009, hurled Juno to Jupiter last August and dispatched the car-sized Curiosity rover on the Mars Science Lab mission in November 2012 and the Mars-bound MAVEN orbiter this past November.Atlas 5 FactsThis will be:Atlas/SBIRS GEO 2 launch timeline Posted: March 12, 2013 T-00:02.7Engine StartThe Russian-designed RD-180 main engine is ignited and undergoes checkout prior to launch.T+00:01.1LiftoffThe United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 vehicle, designated AV-037, lifts off and begins a vertical rise away from Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.T+01:30.6Mach 1 and Max QThe Atlas rocket achieves Mach 1 some 81 seconds into the flight, then passes through the region of maximum dynamic pressure at 91 seconds.T+04:03.1Main Engine CutoffThe RD-180 main engine completes its firing after consuming its kerosene and liquid oxygen fuel supply in the Atlas first stage.T+04:09.1Stage SeparationThe Common Core Booster first stage of the Atlas 5 rocket separates from the Centaur upper stage.

    10. Earlier lunar probes detected signs of hydrogen in the dark polar regions, an indirect indication of water ice. Scientists believe ice could indeed be trapped in polar craters that never see sunlight, brought in by comet impacts over the billions of years since the moon’s formation.

    12. An Atlas 5 rocket thundered to life and majestically streaked into space today, boosting two NASA spacecraft toward the moon for an ambitious $583 million mission to scout out landing sites for future manned missions and to search for evidence of hidden ice near its frigid poles.

They are pushing for the US National Park Service to adopt such regulations in 2016, in time for the agencys centennial. “I absolutely believe we will have our quiet places,” Hempton says. “Just like we went through with water quality, things have to get really bad before we recognise them as a basic value and clean them up.”

    24. It’s a bit like Unforgiven and parallels with the tone of Scott & Bailey. But it’s dark in that it’s about where Catherine goes psychologically,Michael Kors Handbags, where she ends up. I don’t want to give the plot away,Michael Kors, but it’s very different to Last Tango In Halifax [Sally’s last drama for BBC] and much more in the style of Unforgiven which I wrote a few years ago.

    26. Back in Wisconsin, Turk, who has no desire to travel to Mexico or England to attain illicit worms, awaits the trial results. He occasionally speaks to multiple sclerosis support groups about his experiences, encouraging others to take part in research to speed the discovery of better medications. He is taking interferon beta-1a, a drug that reduces relapse rates, but he hopes the trials of helminthic therapy prove successful, and would gladly switch to it if it gained approval. Without a tried and tested cure, Turk says he has good days and bad days. “A lot of people look at me and dont think theres anything wrong, but thats just because I do a good job at hiding it,” he adds.

    27. The simulation uses high tech full aircraft system layouts on the ground called Iron Birds. “Iron-birds can simulate all flight segments such as take-off,Michael Kors Handbags, cruise, landing,Michael Kors, and so on, so that the aircraft is virtually tested on real flights such as London to Dubai without any actual flight taking place,” says Mullot. “All this can be done well before the first pieces of the first aircraft to fly are assembled.”

    28. In real life, Dickens wasnt charmed by the legal world. He is credited, for instance, with coining the term “red tape” as a metaphor for rigid rules and procedures; and he was familiar with the red tape that bureaucrats used to wrap many documents. Dickens also satirised the law in his novels, such as Bleak House,Michael Kors, the tale of a decades-long court case that destroys most of its participants.

    29. The question is instantly challenging because of course the idea that mostof us have of World War 1 is one of total annihilation in the trenches. Therewas some truth in that. As Dan Snow points out, on a single day, 1st July 1916,20,000 British men went over the top and died. But overall 88% of soldiers whoserved in trenches avoided death. The vast majority.

    31. At least, this is what can happen but it need not be an inexorable fate.

Your passions and distractions are yours to negotiate, in tandem with whomsoever you can enlist along the way.

    32. One happy footnote: future studies should be even less risky for the birds. Rather than continue the live method used for this study, the team has now started to monitor birds responses to video playback of approaching vehicles.

    36. What will lead religious life into the next decade and beyond are creative responses to the desire for vitality, spirituality, and community. What this means is that any religion, church, mosque, temple, gathering that proves itself to make vital and meaningful impacts in the lives of the people who live in its proximity will thrive. Any entity that responds to the spiritual and existential needs of people who are trying to make sense of their lives in real and sustaining ways will succeed. And any entity that creates a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself will gather people up.

    37. Some whose theology predicts an end-times see the world as marching from bad to worse, with God intervening at the end. Others hold to a theology that sees them as being used by God to bring his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Still others are neither so fatalistic nor optimistic.

    41. For me “secular” moments that lead to a sense of spirit are walks,Michael Kors Watch, springtime in the Rockies, a really great laugh, spending time with dogs, and any story that draws me into what Tolkien called the “enchanted state.”

    45. I am a third-generation native Texan of Mexican descent and proud to be an American. I am also a citizen of the Kingdom of Jesus. I follow a leader who challenges me to seek his Kingdom first. So what would the Kingdom-coming-near look like for those who came to this country without proper documents?

    47. Texas A&M’;s home arena hasn’;t “rocked” like it did Wednesday since the days of the Big 12.

    54. Syria’s precarious position in the heart of the Middle East makes the conflict extremely unpredictable. Lebanon, across the western border, suffered its own brutal civil war in the 1970s and the 1980s and is already experiencing increased interethnic tensions. Iraq, to Syria’s east, is mired in worsening violence. And Israel to the southwest has seen shots fired across the contested Golan Heights and has been forced to strike what it claimed were advanced weapons convoys heading to Hezbollah, with whom it went to war with in 2006.

      1. In States like Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas or California everybody knows the Western Cowboy living home on the range. But can you really still find a true western cowboy? At one time you could find real cowboys in the Wild West States but that time was over one hundred years ago. When by the 1890s railroads had expanded to cover most of the nation, long cattle drives from Texas to the railheads in Kansas were unnecessary and furthermore the invention of barbed wire allowed cattle to be confined to designated area to prevent overgrazing of the range. This was the end of the open range and large cattle drives. However, smaller cattle drives continued for more than 50 years prior to the development of the modern cattle truck as ranchers still needed to herd cattle to local railheads for transport to stockyards and packing plants. And what is left today? Is there still a need for cowboys in our modern ranching high-tech world? The answer is yes; you just need to get off the road to find the modern cowboy working on cattle ranches or other related fields. If you are still unsure if this is the right lifestyle for you, you may want to try a few days on a cattle ranch, taking long rides on horseback, sit around the fire listening to tales of Cowboys past, and get your food of the Chuck Wagon and eat in the great outdoors that Texas like the other classical western states have to offer. There are many offers of such type available on the Internet or local travel agencies. But apart from this cowboy romantic, finding real cowboy jobs is not that easy and you need to get in touch with ranchers or other people looking for workers who are able to do cowboy jobs like feeding the livestock, doing the branding, earmarking cattle, taking care of a small string of horses, performing routinely patrols of the rangeland, checking for damaged fences or evidence of prediation, detecting water problems and any other issues of concern. The modern cowboy often needs to be an all-rounder, dependent on the size of the ranch, the terrain, and the number of livestock. Only on a very large ranch with many employees, there is a chance that the cowboy is able to specialize on tasks solely related to horses (for instance horse training) or just cattle. In addition to cowboys working on ranches, there are several other job opportunities in stockyards, barrel racer, as staff or competitors at rodeos or in the cowboy trucker business. There are no published figures on the number of working cowboys but it is estimated that there are about 10,000 workers in the US working in the field of 聯Support activities for animal production”, as this field officially is called. But don聮t expect a very good salary working as a cowboy! Following the numbers of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics from the year 2003, you shouldn聮t expect to earn much more than $20,000 per annum. Find your Cowboy Job NowLooking for the word 聯cowboy” in a so-called meta (or all-in-one) job search engine results in 1000 or even more job offers, even though many of those are only indirectly related to real cowboy jobs. One of the pages specialized in cowboy jobs is the Two-Approach Job Search Guide (2ajobguide.com), where you can search for cowboy jobs using the Indeed庐 Job Search Technology. Indeed was developed by Paul Forster and his partner Rony Kahan in the year 2004 and is on its way to Americas most important Job Search Engine, gaining terrain against job banks like HotJobs, Monster, Careerbuilder or America聮s Job Bank.
