The format is approximately 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches. Illustration and text on one side. The other side is blank. RARE surviving commemorative item of the last Space Shuttle launch!!! The STS-135 Launch Salute was in honor of the hundreds of thousands of men and women who have devoted their time careers and passion over the previous 40 years to the success of the Space Shuttle Program and in remembrance of the Challenger and Columbia crews who paid the ultimate price we ask you to join and raise hands as you watch Atlantis ascend into the heavens during the final space shuttle launch. At ten seconds to liftoff stand up. at liftoff join and raise hands For first ten second of flight keep hands raised. With this gesture we convey the thanks of a grateful nation and world for the legacy of space exploration that has been set for the future. NASA continues preparations for the mission that everyone hopes will never be needed: the STS-335 flight to rescue the STS-134 crew in the event that Endeavour becomes disabled during the program’s planned final flight. STS-135 ISS assembly flight ULF7 was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8 2011 and landed on July 21 2011 following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier LMC which were delivered to the International Space Station ISS. The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. Although the mission was authorized it initially had no appropriation in the NASA budget raising questions about whether the mission would fly. On January 20 2011 program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13 2011 program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. During an address at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 16 2010 NASA administrator Charles Bolden said that the agency needed to fly STS-135 to the station in 2011 due to possible delays in the development of commercial rockets and spacecraft designed to transport cargo to the ISS. "We are hoping to fly a third shuttle mission in addition to STS-133 and STS-134 in June 2011 what everybody calls the launch-on-need mission. and that's really needed to buy down the risk for the development time for commercial cargo" Bolden said. The mission was included in NASA's 2011 authorization which was signed into law on October 11 2010 but funding remained dependent on a subsequent appropriations bill. United Space Alliance signed a contract extension for the mission along with STS-134; the contract contained six one-month options with NASA in order to support continuing operations. The federal budget approved in April 2011 called for US$5.5 billion for NASA's space operations division including the shuttle and space station programs. According to NASA the budget running through September 30 2011 ended all concerns about funding the STS-135 mission. National Aeronautics and Space Administration unknown
197084062Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 1970. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Wraps. Good. xiv 2 225 3 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Tables. Appendices. Corner of front cover gone. Ex-library with the usual library markings. This reporting period was highlighted by the Apollo 11 manned lunar landing and the Apollo 12 second manned lunar landing. The two successful Moon missions fulfilled the national goal of a manned lunar landing and safe return within the decade of the sixties and convincingly demonstrated the technological competence of the Apollo program. In addition these flights showed the value of the space program as a unifying force in international relations for interest in the Moon landings and in the astronauts transcended national boundaries. This report addresses Manned Space Flight Scientific Investigations in Space Space Applications Advanced Research and Development The Nuclear Rocket Program Tracking and Data Acquisition International Affairs University Programs Information and Educational Programs and Supporting activities. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civilian space program as well as aeronautics and space research. NASA was established in 1958 succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA. The new agency was to have a distinctly civilian orientation encouraging peaceful applications in space science. Since its establishment most US space exploration efforts have been led by NASA including the Apollo Moon landing missions the Skylab space station and later the Space Shuttle. NASA is supporting the International Space Station and is overseeing the development of the Orion spacecraft the Space Launch System Commercial Crew vehicles and the planned Lunar Gateway space station. The agency is also responsible for the Launch Services Program which provides oversight of launch operations and countdown management for uncrewed NASA launches. NASA's science is focused on better understanding Earth through the Earth Observing System;10 advancing heliophysics through the efforts of the Science Mission Directorate's Heliophysics Research Program; exploring bodies throughout the Solar System with advanced robotic spacecraft such as New Horizons; and researching astrophysics topics such as the Big Bang through the Great Observatories and associated programs.

2001809962001. Fourth Printing stated. Velobound. Very good. Various paginations approximately 180 pages. Illustrations color. Bibliography. Appendices A-K includes Glossary and Acronyms. Figures. Distribution memorandum laid in. In its fiscal year FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriation Congress directed the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA to complete a study that "includes conclusions as to whether the full-scale NIF National Ignition Facility is required in order to maintain the safety and reliability of the current nuclear weapons stockpile and whether alternatives to the NIF could achieve the objective of maintaining the safety and reliability of the current nuclear weapons stockpile." To meet this requirement the NNSA has conducted a detailed study of the role of high-energy-density physics HEDP and NIF in the Stockpile Stewardship Program SSP. The principal finding of this study is that a vital HEDP Program is an essential component of the SSP. Based on this finding the Office of Defense Programs DP recommends the continuation of the baseline HEDP Program including 192-beam NIF with the goal of achieving ignition. Section 3.4.6 addresses an aspect of nuclear weapons effects testing. Section 4.4 is entitled Weapons Effects. The SSP was established in response to the FY 1994 National Defense Authorization Act P.L. 103-160 Sect. 3138 which called on the Secretary of Energy to "establish a stewardship program to ensure the preservation of the core intellectual and technical competencies of the United States in nuclear weapons." In the absence of nuclear testing the SSP must: 1 support a focused multifaceted program to increase the understanding of the enduring stockpile; 2 predict detect and evaluate potential problems due to the aging of the stockpile; 3 refurbish and remanufacture weapons and components as required; and 4 maintain the science and engineering institutions needed to support the nation's nuclear deterrent now and in the future. The principal outcomes of the SSP are confidence in safety security and reliability of U.S. nuclear weapons and a cadre of nuclear-skilled personnel underpinning nuclear deterrence. The NNSA national laboratories agree that a strong and diverse HEDP Program is an essential component of the SSP. An excellent understanding of high-energy-density physics is required to understand the operation of nuclear weapons. The fundamental requirements for the baseline HEDP Program are driven by meeting the needs of the stockpile and by a commitment to related broader national scientific interests. Based on these requirements the HEDP Program has developed a set of strategic goals in the following areas: weapons physics ignition high yield radiation effects basic science and supporting technologies. To determine if the HEDP Program is properly optimized to meet the needs of DP's mission DP invited senior members of the defense and scientific communities to examine high-energy-density activities conducted throughout the SSP. These study panel members were asked specifically to assess the role of high-energy-density physics within the SSP and to examine the facilities and program elements within the HEDP Program to assure that the goals of the SSP are met in the near and long term. Two areas that were not included directly in this study were HEDP activities within the Advanced Simulation and Computing Campaign and the cost considerations associated with developing and operating the necessary experimental computational manufacturing and production capabilities required for the SSP. unknown
201376281National Nuclear Security Administration 2013. Presumed First thus. CD-RW. Very good. This has one file with 27 powerpoint items on it. In Russian: These appear to include presentations by Shubin Loparev Zheleznov McDowell Wallace Warner Lehman Hecker Voloshin Reis Zucca Sandoval Petrov Felske Hawkins and Ponomarev plus panel related material and the JVE coin. Among the topics covered include Trust but Verify Optimizing Rosatom JVE Results Seismic Hydrodynamic Monitoring Geophysics Geology Technical Elements Next Steps and Future Cooperation. The United States part of the Joint Verification Experiment carried out in 1988 as the Kearsarge event in Operation Touchstone. Twenty-five years later before tensions increased between Russia and the United States a joint commemoration of the event was held at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site formerly the Nevada Test Site. JVE provided the first opportunity for scientists from US and Soviet nuclear weapons laboratories to meet and work cooperatively. At the Nevada Test Site and at the follow-on experiment at the Soviet Semipalatinsk Test Site they developed confidence-building steps that made possible the ratification of the TTBT in 1990. Both Russians and Americans agree that cooperation between US and Soviet nuclear weapons scientists began with the JVE and the follow-on discussions on the TTBT verification mechanisms during the Geneva negotiations.

200575224Albuquerque NM: National Nuclear Security Administration 2005. Presumed First Edition First issuance thus. CD. Very good. On Hold Shelf. This disk has six files on it: 1. Welcome letter 2. Course Material 3. Self Review 4. Reference Material 5. Software and 6. Read Me. In the course material area there is information of special access programs security policies threat briefing OPSEC overview a Baseline Security Manual and practical exercises. The reference material is indicated as including Executive Orders Presidential Decision Documents Public Laws Director of Central Intelligence Directives 6 DCIDs DoD Manuals DOE policies and other associated materials. In opening the disk there was a reference to SNL so it is assumed that Sandia National Laboratories assisted at least in the production of the CD if not in the development of this training. This CD is marked 'Official Use Only" but previous experience in requesting a determination as to whether the dissemination limitation has almost without exception resulted in silence which we take after a period of time as indicating consent. Special access programs SAPs in the U.S. Federal Government are security protocols that provide highly classified information with safeguards and access restrictions that exceed those for regular classified information. SAPs can range from black projects to routine but especially-sensitive operations such as COMSEC maintenance or Presidential transportation support. In addition to routine controls a SAP may impose more stringent investigative or adjudicative requirements specialized nondisclosure agreements special terminology or markings exclusion from standard contract investigations carve-outs and centralized billet systems. There was no specific organization within the NNSA indicated on the CD that a question on dissemination could be referred to. Since this information is more than a decade old and because multiple requests for status on other Official Use Only materials have been ignored it is assumed that the OUO limitation no long applies.
