Aerospace Data Facility-East

Aerospace Data Facility-East (ADF-E), also known as Area 58 and formerly known as Defense Communications Electronics Evaluation and Testing Activity (DCEETA), is one of three satellite ground stations operated by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in the continental United States. Located at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, the facility directs reconnaissance satellites and disseminates their intelligence to other U.S. government agencies. Function ADF East is co-located with elements of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the agency that operates U.S. space-based imagery constellation. Authors James Bamford and Jeffrey Richelson report that the site manages the KH-11 imagery spacecraft and the Lacrosse radar imaging spacecraft. NASA engineer Ken Young, who visited the site as part of a plan for KH-11 to photograph STS-1, described its equipment as far more sophisticated than at his agency. History First use The first documented use of material downloaded at ADF East was on January 21, 1977, when the acting director of Central Intelligence E. Henry Knoche delivered reconnaissance satellite photographs that had been downloaded at ADF East to U.S. President Jimmy Carter. Y2K On the morning of January 1, 2000, a technical glitch caused by the Y2K bug limited ADF East to 70 percent of its planned imagery satellite coverage. At a press conference on January 4, United States Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre stated, "The problem wasn't with the satellite system – they were under positive control at all times. The problem was on the ground in the processing station." Declassification On October 15, 2008, the NRO declassified its three Mission Ground Stations: ADF-East, ADF-Colorado, and ADF-Southwest.

Richmond Raceway

Der Richmond Raceway ist eine dreiviertel Meilen lange D-Ovalförmige Rennstrecke direkt außerhalb von Richmond in Henrico County im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Geschichte Die Strecke wurde 1946 auf dem Messegelände der Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds als unbefestigter 0,5-Meilen Dirttrack eröffnet, um dort Trab- und Automobilrennen abhalten zu können. Ersten Rennen der AAA Big Car Series ab 1946 folgten ab 1948 erste Rennen der Nascar Modified sowie 1953 das erste NASCAR Grand National Rennen, das Lee Petty gewann. Am 10. März 1964 fand das erste Rennen unter temporärer Beleuchtung statt. Erst 1968 wurde die Strecke asphaltiert. Der Umbau auf die aktuelle Länge von 0,75 Meilen erfolgte im Jahre 1988. Das erste Rennen unter diesen neuen Bedingungen fand im September 1988 statt. Eine stationäre Beleuchtung wurde für das Herbstrennen 1991 installiert. Im Jahre 2010 wurde ein LED-Videoturm aufgebaut, der über vier LED-Bildschirme, 28 auf 24 Fuß messend, verfügt, die während der Rennen die Fernsehbilder des Rennens, Werbung oder Fahrervorstellungen zeigt. 2017 wurde der Name Richmond International Raceway auf den Namen Richmond Raceway gekürzt. Dabei wurden auch Umbaumaßnahmen für das Infield angekündigt, die von 2017 bis 2018 realisiert wurden. Streckenbeschreibung Der Raceway befindet sich auf dem Richmond Raceway Complex, einer 3,2 km² großen Multifunktionsanlage. Auf dieser finden eine Reihe weiterer Veranstaltungen statt, darunter die Virginia State Fair, die Virginia Golf Show, Bassarama, sowie die Richmond Heim und Garten-Schau. Veranstaltungen Seit 1953 fanden insgesamt 137 Rennen der NASCAR Cup Series (Stand: Ende 2025) auf dem Raceway statt. Damit ist dieser nach Daytona und Martinsville die am häufigsten genutzte Strecke der Serie. Mit 13 zwischen 1961 und 1975 erzielten Siegen ist Richard Petty der erfolgreichste Serienpilot auf dieser Strecke, gefolgt von Bobby Allison mit 7 Siegen. Richmond war ab 2004 der Austragungsort des letzten regulären Saisonrennens des NASCAR Sprint Cups vor dem jährlichen Chase, dem Play-off-System der Serie. Somit wurde – bis zur Verlegung des Rennens in die Play-off-Phase selbst im Jahr 2018 – lange Zeit das 26. Rennen auf dieser Strecke mit dem Untertitel „One Last Race to Make The Chase“ ausgetragen. Seit 2022 ist das sogenannte Federated Auto Parts 400 wieder Teil des regulären Saisonplans. Zu den weiteren Veranstaltungen gehören Rennen der Nationwide Series, der NASCAR Craftsman World Truck Series, der IndyCar Series und des United States Automobile Club mit der Silver Crown und der National Spring Car Series. Bis 2009 war Richmond auch ein fester Bestandteil des Kalenders der IndyCar Series. Eine für 2020 geplante Rückkehr der Serie scheiterte an der COVID-19-Pandemie.

Richmond Raceway

Richmond Raceway är en 0.75 mile (1.12 km) lång D-formad ovalbana belägen utanför Richmond i Virginia i USA som sedan 1999 ägs av International Speedway Corporation. Läktarkapaciteten är 51 000. Kurvornas banking är 14°, vilket hjälper till för en respektabel snittfart, även om bara Martinsville Speedway är långsammare i Nascar. Historia Richmond färdigställdes 1946, som Atlantic Rural Expositions Faigrounds. Bansträckningen var ursprungligen en halv mile lång men byggdes 1988 ut till sin nuvarande längd, 0,75 mile. Banan höll sitt första race i NASCAR:s Cupserie 1953, med Lee Petty som vinnare. År 1955 såldes banan till Paul Sawyer och Joe Weatherly och bytte då namn till Atlantic Rural Fairgrounds, ett namn banan behöll fram till 1967 då den fick namnet Virginia State Fairgrounds. Sitt nuvarande namn har den sedan 1989. Den mest segerrike föraren genom tiderna är Richard Petty som vann tretton cup-race på banan. Banan har sedan 1991 belysning och arrangerar Federated Auto Parts 400 som kvällslopp. Under 2000-talet drygade Richmond ut, då man förutom sina två Nascar-tävlingar även började arrangera IndyCar på banan. Publiksiffrorna var inte i närheten av Nascar:s på samma bana, men banan arrangerade några jämna och populära race. Höstens lopp har en nyckelroll i Nascar Cup Series, då det är den sista tävlingen i grundserien, och det lopp som slutgiltigen avgör vilka 16 förare som tar sig vidare till slutspelsserien.

Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel

The Virginia Tech Stability Wind Tunnel is a medium-scale wind tunnel located at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) in Blacksburg, Virginia. With a test section measuring 6 by 6 ft (1.8 by 1.8 m) and maximum wind speeds of approximately 262.6 ft/s (80.0 m/s), it is one of the largest university-owned wind tunnels in the United States, and is used for a wide variety of research projects within the college as well as being contracted out for commercial use, especially product testing. Professor William Devenport is the current director, and Dr. Aurelien Borgoltz is the assistant director. History The Stability Wind Tunnel was first built by the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics (NACA), the predecessor to NASA, at Langley Research Center in 1940. The wind tunnel was used by NACA for deriving the dynamic stability of fixed models for nearly two decades. In 1958, shortly after being declared surplus, it was acquired by Virginia Tech and was attached to the university's Randolph Hall, where it was re-activated in 1961, and remains active to this day, currently being operated by the Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering. Technical details The Stability Wind Tunnel is powered by a 600-horsepower motor which turns a 14 ft (4.3 m) propeller. In the 1990s, the fan was updated with new, custom-made blades built by Prince Aircraft Company. With the usual set-up, the wind tunnel can, at max velocity, attain a Reynolds Number of over 5,000,000. The removable test section currently in use in the tunnel utilizes stretched Kevlar walls which allow sufficient air flow to exit the system while not disrupting the airflow within the test section. This causes an absence of background noise allows researchers to monitor the sounds coming from the test section with microphones in order to gain data regarding the airflow and turbulence of smooth airfoils and other objects. Along with chambers placed alongside the test section, this leads to the current test section being called "anechoic". The majority of the data is currently received and analyzed by a National Instruments mainframe, alongside a number of amplifiers and other assorted equipment. Commercial use The Stability Wind Tunnel has been utilized for research by a number of private organizations. These include a NASA-sponsored acoustic test regarding the landing gear of the Boeing 777 and simulated maneuvers of a scale aircraft in order to obtain data for descent of the aircraft. References
Sussex II State Prison

Sussex II State Prison was a prison of the Virginia Department of Corrections located in unincorporated Sussex County, Virginia, near Waverly. It was adjacent to Sussex I State Prison, which lies to its southeast, just across Mussellwhite Drive. One of only four state prisons, the facility had a maximum capacity of 1,352 offenders. It was a security level 4 prison. The prison offers vocational and educational programs, as well as re-entry to offenders who qualify. In terms of building structure, the facility was identical to Sussex I State Prison. In May 2004, two inmates attempted to escape the prison in a truck but were apprehended. Financial controversy When Sussex I and Sussex II State Prisons were opened in 1998, they were built on state owned land which could not be subject to property taxes from Sussex County. An agreement was reached with the county Board of Supervisors for the state to instead make an annual "Payment in Lieu of Taxes", a service fee based on the land's value. That amount was assessed at $500,000 and it was utilized by the county for supporting their fire and emergency services, both of which service the prison. In 2010, during the Great Recession, this payment was cut from the state budget by then Governor Tim Kaine. It was never subsequently restored when the economy improved. This came to light in 2023, when local officials in Sussex County went to the media to discuss the financial burdens that both of the Sussex state prisons put upon their services. Planned closure In December 2023, the Virginia Department of Corrections announced plans to permanently close the Sussex II State Prison along with three other state correctional facilities elsewhere in the commonwealth effective July 1, 2024. According to a press release from VADOC the closure decisions were made "to enhance employee, inmate, and probationer safety, to address longstanding staffing challenges, and in consideration of significant ongoing maintenance costs." As of January 2024, there were no inmates being housed at the prison in advance of its pending closure. References
