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.

198279941Greenbelt Maryland: NSA/Goddard Space Flight Center 1982. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Very good. Various paginations approximately 1.25 inches thick. Cover has some wear and soiling. Name of previous owner written in ink at type of spine. The Goddard Space Flight Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration organized a workshop held on May 18-22 1981 centered around three working groups corresponding to the three chapters in this report--a Trace Species Working Group; a Multidimensional Aspects Working Group; and a Trends and Predictions Working Group. Over 100 scientists representing most of the institutions in the world engaged in upper atmospheric research attended the workshop. At the end of the workshop each working group prepared a summary document and these have been assembled into this report. The basic theme for the workshop and the report was the comparison of theory and measurement. Appendix A-I includes in part: References Acronyms Stratospheric Instruments and Analysis Chemical Kenetics and Photochemistry and a Reference Solar Spectral Irradiance for use in a Atmospheric Modeling It should be stressed that this is not a consensus document. If more than one conclusion could be maintained by the scientific data then both of these conclusions have been quoted. It is aft all a significant test of the present state-of-knowledge if more than one scientific conclusion can be drawn from the same experimental data.<br /> <br /> The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere just above the troposphere and below the mesosphere. The stratosphere is stratified layered in temperature with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to the Earth; this increase of temperature with altitude is a result of the absorption of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This is in contrast to the troposphere near the Earth's surface where temperature decreases with altitude. The border between the troposphere and stratosphere the tropopause marks where this temperature inversion begins. Near the equator the lower edge of the stratosphere is as high as 20 km 66000 ft; 12 mi at midlatitudes around 10 km 33000 ft; 6.2 mi and at the poles about 7 km 23000 ft; 4.3 mi Temperatures range from an average of 51 °C 60 °F; 220 K near the tropopause to an average of 15 °C 5.0 °F; 260 K near the mesosphere.6 Stratospheric temperatures also vary within the stratosphere as the seasons change reaching particularly low temperatures in the polar night winter. Winds in the stratosphere can far exceed those in the troposphere reaching near 60 m/s 220 km/h; 130 mph in the Southern polar vortex. NSA/Goddard Space Flight Center paperback
