SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.

Tout autour de la navette Atlantis, on retrouve sur plusieurs étages des expositions interactives pour en apprendre plus sur l’histoire et les technologies du Space Shuttle Program de la NASA. Au fur et à mesure que l’on avance, le couloir devient orange et rouge, comme si l’on ressentait le retour brutal de la navette dans l'atmosphère Terrestre …

 

All around the Atlantis Shuttle, there are interactive displays on several floors to learn more about the history and technologies of NASA's Space Shuttle Program. As we move forward, the corridor becomes orange and red, as if we felt the sudden return of the shuttle into the Earth's atmosphere …

Saturn's softly glowing rings shine in scattered sunlight.

  

The B ring presents a remarkable difference in brightness between the near

and far arms (bottom and top of the image, respectively). The strong

variation in brightness could be due to the presence of wake-like features

in the B ring.

  

See PIA08389 for a labeled Cassini map of the rings.

  

This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 5

degrees above the ringplane. Images taken using red, green and blue

spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The

images were acquired at a distance of approximately 574,000 kilometers

(357,000 miles) from Saturn. At the center of the image, the

Sun-ring-spacecraft, or phase, angle is 114 degrees, and the image scale

is 34 kilometers (21 miles) per pixel in the radial, or outward from

Saturn, direction.

  

The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European

Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory,

a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages

the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The

Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and

assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space

Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.

We're Here! with the spacemen.

 

Gabriel Green is a true spaceman, having been abducted by aliens from the planet Korendor back in 1957. With the wisdom of the space brothers (in continuous telepathic contact) he ran for president in 1960 and again in 1972 (when he was defeated by that other Whittier, California celebrity, Richard "Tricky Dicky" Nixon). Life could be so much different now, just look at his promises!

The graphics on the box are great, but best of all is the fabulous "lunar surface" packaging that holds the Fisher Space Pen inside its case. It's just a simple thing, but it's good fun, and it does a lot to reinforce the pen's Space Age mystique.

S-IC First Stage

 

The S-IC (pronounced “ess one see”) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was built by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, most of its mass of more than 2,000 tons at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. It was 42 meters tall and 10 meters in diameter, and provided 33,000 kN of thrust to get the rocket through the first 61 kilometers of ascent. The stage had five F-1 engines in a quincunx arrangement. The center engine was fixed in position, while the four outer engines could be hydraulically gimballed to control the rocket.

 

The S-IC was built by the Boeing Company at the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, where the Space Shuttle External Tanks would later be built by Lockheed Martin. Most of its mass at launch was propellant, RP-1 fuel with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. It was 138 feet (42 m) tall and 33 feet (10 m) in diameter, and provided over 7,600,000 pounds-force (34,000 kN) of thrust. The S-IC stage had a dry weight of about 289,000 pounds (131 metric tons) and fully fueled at launch had a total weight of 5,100,000 pounds (2,300 metric tons). It was powered by five Rocketdyne F-1 engines arrayed in a quincunx (five units, with four arranged in a square, and the fifth in the center) The center engine was held in a fixed position, while the four outer engines could be hydraulically turned (gimballed) to steer the rocket. In flight, the center engine was turned off about 26 seconds earlier than the outboard engines to limit acceleration. During launch, the S-IC fired its engines for 168 seconds (ignition occurred about 8.9 seconds before liftoff) and at engine cutoff, the vehicle was at an altitude of about 36 nautical miles (67 km), was downrange about 50 nautical miles (93 km), and was moving about 7,500 feet per second (2,300 m/s).

Manufacturing

 

The Boeing Co. was awarded the contract to manufacture the S-IC on December 15, 1961. By this time the general design of the stage had been decided on by the engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The main place of manufacture was the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans. Wind tunnel testing took place in Seattle and the machining of the tools needed to build the stages at Wichita, Kansas.

 

MSFC built the first three test stages (S-IC-T, the S-IC-S, and the S-IC-F) and the first two flight models (S-IC-1 and -2). They were built using tools produced in Wichita.

 

It took roughly seven to nine months to build the tanks and 14 months to complete a stage. The first stage built by Boeing was S-IC-D, a test model.

 

Components

 

The largest and heaviest single component of the S-IC was the thrust structure, with a mass of 21 ton. It was designed to support the thrust of the five engines and redistribute it evenly across the base of the rocket. There were four anchors which held down the rocket as it built thrust. These were among the largest aluminum forgings produced in the U.S. at the time, 4.3 meters long and 816 kilograms in weight. The four stabilizing fins withstood a temperature of 1100 °C.

 

Above the thrust structure was the fuel tank, containing 770,000 liters of RP-1 fuel. The tank itself had a mass of 11 ton dry and could release 7300 liters per second. Nitrogen was bubbled through the tank before launch to keep the fuel mixed. During flight the fuel was pressurized using helium, that was stored in tanks in the liquid oxygen tank above.

 

Between the fuel and liquid oxygen tanks was the intertank.

 

The liquid oxygen tank held 1,305,000 liters of LOX. It raised special issues for the designer. The lines through which the LOX ran to the engine had to be straight and therefore had to pass through the fuel tank. This meant insulating these lines inside a tunnel to stop fuel freezing to the outside and also meant five extra holes in the top of the fuel tank.

 

Two solid motor retrorockets were located inside each of the four conical engine fairings. At separation of the S-IC from the flight vehicle, the eight retrorockets fired, blowing off removable sections of the fairings forward of the fins, and backing the S-IC away from the flight vehicle as the engines on the S-II stage were ignited.

Made famous by the movie “Top Gun,” the F-14 Tomcat is the last of Grumman’s “Cat” series of Naval fighters which began with the F4F Wildcat in the 1930s.

 

The F-14 grew out of the failed attempt to turn the F-111 into a carrier-based interceptor. Design work on the Tomcat began in 1967, a full year before the F-111B was canceled. It adopted the best elements of that design including the AN/AWG-9 radar and Phoenix missile, twin engines, and a variable geometry “swing” wing and combined them into a large, twin-tailed form that became the symbol of American naval aviation from the 1970s through the first years of the Twenty-first Century.

 

Tomcats entered service on the USS Enterprise in 1974 and flew some of the last American combat missions over Vietnam while providing air cover over Saigon during the American evacuation in April 1975. Small numbers of F-14s were sold to Iran in the years just before the Iranian Revolution. The Tomcat was retired from U.S. Navy service in 2006 due to rising costs of operation. The Iranian Air Force has retained their Tomcats in service long past their retirement in the United States.

This old sign reading "TIRES VULCANIZING RECAPPING" was uncovered after some siding was removed. It previously had been bearing the name of Water Tech, a water softener and purifier company that have moved out many years ago.

 

I'd long thought that this building on Franklin Boulevard at 26th Avenue in Sacramento was ripe for redevelopment as a band rehearsal studio because of its location away from established neighborhoods along a Crenshaw-lookin' stretch of street that was showing signs of unusual artistic expression.

 

Well, now it would appear that it's becoming something kinda artsy. A vinyl banner hangs on the fence to advertise "spaces available".

 

The adjacent North City Farms neighborhood is my sleeper pick for next "cool" neighborhood of Sacramento. It's super-cheap, quickly bikable to the central grid, and walkable to three supermarkets and some of the very best Mexican food you can find anywhere...and I really mean anywhere.

 

The building on the right has a fading ghost sign which says something about "APPLIANCE LIQUIDATORS".
