NASA Lunar - Simulated Crew Module Arrives to Top off Ares IX

NARRATOR: NASA's Constellation Program is a step closer to the first test flight of the vehicle that will send humans on their way to the moon. Hardware that will be used for the test flight of Ares IX was delivered by a C-5 aircraft to Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility in January 2009. The equipment, consisting of a meticulously engineered simulated crew module and launch abort system, was carefully unloaded from the belly of the enormous aircraft. The launch abort system simulator is 46 feet in length and will fit over the crew module and tower above it, forming the nose of the vehicle. Two flatbed trucks transported the hardware to High Bay 4 of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building. Inside the massive building, workers removed the protective blue cover from the simulated crew module. This hardware and other elements will be integrated into the full-scale Ares IX test launch vehicle. Kennedy's Launch Pad 39B will be the site of the first Ares IX test flight targeted to launch in 2009 -- an important step toward developing Ares I, NASA's next-generation crew launch vehicle.

Shuttle landing on lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base

This 25 second movie clip shows a Shuttle landing on lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base. During 1977 the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, hosted the Approach and Landing Tests for the space shuttle prototype Enterprise. Since the shuttles would land initially on Rogers Dry Lakebed adjacent to Dryden on Edwards Air Force Base, NASA had already modified a Boeing 747 to carry them back to their launch site at Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Computer calculations and simulations had predicted the mated shuttle and 747 could fly together safely, but NASA wanted to verify that prediction in a controlled flight-test environment before the shuttles went into operation. The agency also wanted to glide test the orbiter to ensure it could land safely before sending it into space with human beings aboard. NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, developed a three-phase test program. First, an unpiloted-captive phase tested the shuttle/747 combination without a crew on the Enterprise in case of a problem that required jettisoning the prototype. There were three taxi tests and five flight tests without a crew in the shuttle. That phase ended on March 2, 1977. The second or captive-active phase-completed on July 26, 1977, flew the orbiter mated to the 747 with a two-person crew inside. Finally there were five flights-completed on October 26, 1977, in which the orbiter separated from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA, as the 747 was designated) and landed ...

STS 78 - Space Shuttle Columbia

The scheduled 15-day, 21-hour STS-78 Life and Microgravity Spacelab (LMS) mission will help set the stage for the International Space Station by studying the effects of long-duration space flight on human physiology and conducting the type of experiments that would fly on the orbital platform. Columbia will climb to a 173-statute-mile (278-kilometer)-high orbit with a 39-degree inclination to the Earth's equator to allow the seven-member flight crew to maintain the same sleep/wake rhythms they are accustomed to on Earth and to reduce vibrational and directional forces that could affect on-board microgravity experiments.

NASA Hints It's Found Missing Moon-Landing Videotapes Tuesday, July 14, 2009 Print ShareThis NASA A still of the original video feed from Apollo 11. The rediscovered videotapes should be of the same or better quality. It looks like NASA has found the missing moon-landing videotapes. A carefully worded media advisory note issued Monday promised that "greatly improved video imagery from the July 1969 live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moonwalk" would be made public Thursday. Rumors have been flying around the Internet for weeks that NASA, after years of searching, had discovered the original recordings of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's lunar excursion — which the space agency once feared had been accidentally destroyed. The story, as summarized by Britain's Sunday Express newspaper in late June, was that the tapes had been found in a storage facility in the basement of a building on a university campus in Perth, Australia. Monday's statement appeared to confirm that report, stating that the footage comes from what is "believed to be the best available broadcast-format copies of the lunar excursion, some of which had been locked away for nearly 40 years." Back on July 20, 1969, the raw video feed from the moon was beamed to the Parkes Observatory radio telescope in southeastern Australia, as well as two other radio telescopes in Australia and California. The feed was then compressed and sent to Mission Control in Houston. Because of technical issues, NASA's images couldn't be ...

First Paragliding Flight, Fuyang China

After several weeks of ground handling (practice) lessons and instruction I finally took my first paragliding flight. This launch site is is Fuyang, China about 1 hour from Hangzhou (3 hours South of Shanghai). I had 5 flights on this, my first day. The launch site is on a 300m hill overlooking a farm covered valley. At the landing site local van drivers come out to shuttle gliders back up the hillside. This was a really exciting and beautiful day for me. Many thanks to my teacher Hubi and the other pilots who assisted me on this first day of flying (esp you Riyadh!)

Killzone 2 Flip Book Retrospective

Here's my Dragonfly Flipz Book Killzone 2 Game Flipz book Retrospective. (All unreleased and Concept Demos, not for sale) Really, it's just a chance to make HD version for better viewing.) I shoot this as a way to give a better sense of how you would read a Dragonfly Flipz book. I kept the repeating soundtrack, which is from a later Killzone 2 trailer, simple for that reason. I think of my Dragonfly Flipz Mini-Books as a new graphic novel, comic book, and story book format. I plan to develop them for movie tie-in books (like for Transformer, Batman, etc), and education title (like a Space Shuttle launch, or Mars Landing). My thanks to all the people who have watched my video. Enjoy.

X-23B Nasa Experimental Craft

A fleet of lifting bodies flown at the NASA Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, from 1963 to 1975 demonstrated the ability of pilots to maneuver (in the atmosphere) and safely land a wingless vehicle. These lifting bodies were basically designed so they could fly back to Earth from space and be landed like an aircraft at a pre-determined site. (In 1976 NASA renamed the FRC as the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in honor of Hugh L. Dryden.) In 1962, FRC Director Paul Bikle approved a program to build a lightweight, unpowered lifting body as a prototype to flight test the wingless concept. It would look like a "flying bathtub," and was designated the M2-F1. It featured a plywood shell, built by Gus Briegleb (a sailplane builder from El Mirage, California) placed over a tubular steel frame crafted at the FRC. Construction was completed in 1963. The success of the Flight Research Center M2-F1 program led to NASA development and construction of two heavyweight lifting bodies based on studies at the NASA Ames and Langley research centers--the M2-F2 and the HL-10, both built by the Northrop Corporation, Hawthorne, California. The Air Force also became interested in lifting body research and had a third design concept built, the X-24A, built by the Martin Company, Denver, Colorado. It was later modified into the X-24B and both configurations were flown in the joint NASA-Air Force lifting body program located at Dryden. The X-24B design evolved from a family of ...
