Description: A technician checks the soil sampler of the Viking lander. The robotic arm was used to scoop up a sample of the Martian soil, empty it into a hopper on the lander which then routed the sample to each of the three scientific instruments, biology, gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer and water analysis. NASA's Viking Lander was designed, fabricated, and tested by the Martin Marietta Corp. of Denver, Colorado, under the direction of the Viking Project Office at Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia. The Lander drew heavily on the experience gained from the Ranger, Surveyor and the Apollo Programs in the areas of radar, altimeters, facsimile, cameras, soil samplers, landing gear, etc.

Ball Aerospace Technician Robin Russell inspects the Webb Telescope Aft Optics Subsystem during mirror integration activities. The Aft Optics bench, made of lightweight beryllium like the mirrors, holds Webb's tertiary and fine steering mirrors. The installed, gold-coated tertiary mirror can be seen in the background.

(1963) A technician mounts a model of the Apollo Launch Escape System (LES) in the Unitary Wind Tunnel at the NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The LES was a tower like structure consisting of four solid propellent motors mounted atop the Apollo Command Module. In the event of a contingency, (booster failure or some other imminent failure) the LES would be commanded to ignite, subsequently removing the Command Module from the Saturn launch vehicle.

Technicians prepare the Project Morpheus prototype lander for its fifth free flight test at the north end of the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 74-second test began around 1 p.m. EST with the Morpheus lander launching from the ground over a flame trench and ascending 467 feet, more than 160 feet higher than its last test. Morpheus flew forward, covering 637 feet in 30 second before descending and landing on target on a dedicated pad inside the autonomous landing and hazard avoidance technology, or ALHAT, hazard field. Project Morpheus tests NASA’s ALHAT and an engine that runs on liquid oxygen and methane, or green propellants, into a fully-operational lander that could deliver cargo to other planetary surfaces. The landing facility provides the lander with the kind of field necessary for realistic testing, complete with rocks, craters and hazards to avoid. Morpheus’ ALHAT payload will allow it to navigate to clear landing sites amidst rocks, craters and other hazards during its descent.

On Wednesday, March 30, 2106, the FDNY held a graduation ceremony for 118 Emergency Medical Technicians in Brooklyn.
This image is from October 2019 when technicians successfully performed a critical test on Webb's 5-layer sunshield by fully deploying each of its uniquely sized layers to the same position that they will have while orbiting the Sun a million miles away from Earth.
As an infrared optimized telescope, it is imperative that Webb’s optics and sensors remain impressively cold, and its sunshield is key for temperature regulation. The sunshield separates the observatory into a warm side that always faces the Sun (thermal models show the maximum temperature of the outermost layer is 383 Kelvin or approximately 230 degrees Fahrenheit), and a cold side that always faces deep space (with the coldest layer having a modeled minimum temp of 36K or around minus -394 degrees F). The oxygen present in Earth’s atmosphere would freeze solid at the temperatures experienced on the cold side of the sunshield, and an egg could easily be boiled with the heat encountered on the warm end.

Weapon Engineering Technician Daniel ‘Knocker’ White, from Hemsworth, has been in the Royal Navy for 3 years. He is currently onboard HMS Westminster, a Portsmouth based Type 23 frigate, in the Indian Ocean as part of the Royal Navy’s long standing commitment in the area.
Daniel formerly of Hemsworth Arts and Community College is part of the Weapon Engineering Department on board HMS Westminster.
Assisting with the maintenance on the ship’s radar and sensor systems, Daniel is particularly busy fixing challenging radar defects, ensuring that Westminster can undertake her patrols and boarding operations.
Daniel said: “My current job on board is to assist with maintaining the ship’s complex radar systems, it is I must say one that I love as it is challenging and rewarding at the same time.
He added: “There’s never a boring day I can assure you of that, there’s all ways something to do either fixing defects or tweaking of the equipment to get the optimal performance from it”.
As well as being an integral part of the Weapon Engineering Department, Daniel is a keen member of the Ship’s Company who is at the heart of morale motivating events on board, such as running wholeship quiz nights.
When not directly involved in morale building tasks, he is always on hand to assist with the rigging of the ship’s PA system for barbecues and other ship borne activities, ensuring that he keeps a smile on the faces of the Ship’s Company during Westminster’s time away from home port.
Daniel spends most of his spare time fixing or making things for other members of the Ship’s Company. He recently made a rather impressive parrot and hat for ‘Pickle Night’ a tradition of the Warrant and Senior Rates Messes to celebrate Nelson’s victory at Trafalgar.
Daniel said: “the challenges of this deployment have given me the opportunity to show what I can really do”.
He also said: “Being away from home is hard, especially at times like Christmas and the New Year, but it’s the thought that we are now over half way through that keeps me going, so I’ll soon be at home with my family and friends”.
As with all deployments of this length there are always changes to the operational programme due emerging commitments that require Royal Navy intervention.
Daniel said: “I’m sure there are a few surprises around the corner to still come. So yes there are highs and lows in this job as things change, but it is these changes and the engineering challenges that make it enjoyable regardless”.
Daniel is due back to the UK in February 2014.

Here is Joe the technician responsible for rebuilding 428 gearbox for us and he had a remarkable story to tell us about our very own gearbox. Turns out he was no stranger to the gearbox, not only the type but our actual gearbox. While cleaning the casing he noticed a serial number he himself stamped on the gearbox back in 1991!... Joe many years ago had worked for a transmission company who had the contract to refurbish gearboxes for Eastern Scottish. 31 years after overhauling the very same gearbox here he is doing it again. I hope it lasts another 30 years. A massive thank you to the whole team at Mackies Automotive Transmissions in Glasgow for all their help in getting our little bus back to full health. We hope to see Joe at the Museum for a ride on 428 one day soon.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – In the mobile service tower at Space Launch Complex 2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, technicians are inspecting the NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2, satellite. The task is taking place prior to encapsulation in its payload fairing atop a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket. Launch is scheduled for 2:56 a.m. PDT 5:56 a.m. EDT on July 1. OCO-2 is NASA’s first mission dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the leading human-produced greenhouse gas driving changes in Earth’s climate. OCO-2 will provide a new tool for understanding the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions and the natural "sinks" that absorb carbon dioxide and help control its buildup. The observatory will measure the global geographic distribution of these sources and sinks and study their changes over time.
