# North Carolina Highway 162

North Carolina Highway 162 (NC 162) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway serves as an alternate route to the former NC 59 by bypassing downtown Hope Mills.

## Route description

NC 162 is a short road at only 7.5 miles (12.1 km) in length. The road begins at U.S. Route 401 (US 401) near the Lafayette Shopping Center. After crossing Hope Mills Road (former NC 59), it bypasses Hope Mills to its north, ending at Interstate 95 Business (I-95 Bus.) and US 301.

## History

The first NC 162 was established in 1937 as a renumbering of NC 161. It traversed from NC 16 in Warrensville, to Rugby Road at the Virginia state line. In 1953, the entire route was renumbered as part of NC 194.
The second and current NC 162 was established in 2007 as a new primary routing that was signed on George Owen Road between Fisher Road and Camden Road, crossing NC 59. In 2009, it was extended to its current western terminus with US 401 (Raeford Road) via Bingham Drive and Bunce Road. In 2011, it was extended east from Camden Road to Legion Road. In 2013, after widening and other improvements on Elk Road, NC 162 was extended west along Elk Road to its current terminus with I-95 Bus/US 301, completing the Hope Mills bypass.

# North Carolina Highway 172

North Carolina Highway 172 (NC 172) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina; it is entirely in Onslow County. It is also unique in that over half of this highway travels through Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune on federal grounds.

## Route description

The entire routing of NC 172 is in Onslow County split in the middle by Camp Lejeune. The route's southern terminus is at US 17 in the unincorporated community of Folkstone, located between Holly Ridge and Wilmington. The road heads east-northeast through a mix of forest land and small houses towards the community of Sneads Ferry. About 4 miles (6.4 km) from its terminus, it intersects NC 210. It then starts to bend towards the north forming the border of the Sneads Ferry census-designated place. The Lakeside Drive/Old Ferry Road intersection is the last intersection that is accessible by the public along the southern segment of NC 172. North of there, the road crosses the New River before reaching the gate to Camp Lejeune. Through Camp Lejeune, the closed road heads east then north through mostly forested lands of the base. The road reopens at its intersection with Bear Creek Road, just north of a gate. On this segment of the road, NC 172 heads north passing forestland on the west side of the road and some houses on the east. The signed highway ends at a signalized intersection with NC 24 in Starling near Hubert.

## History

April 2007: Travel through the Camp Lejeune section of the highway is restricted to vehicles with U.S. Department of Defense decals as a security measure.

# North Carolina Highway 163

North Carolina Highway 163 (NC 163) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway serves as a direct route from West Jefferson towards Wilkesboro.

## Route description

NC 163 is a two-lane mountain highway that traverses 9.1 miles (14.6 km) from West Jefferson to NC 16. The highway travels with gliding curves through the valley area, with nearby mountains including Mount Jefferson, Round Knob and Frenches Knob along its edges. A majority of the route parallels Beaver Creek down to its confluence with the South Fork New River. At its eastern terminus, travelers can continue south on NC 16 to the Blue Ridge Parkway, located at Horse Gap (3,128 feet (953 m)), or continue down the mountain towards Wilkesboro.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) measures average daily traffic volumes along many of the roadways it maintains. In 2016, average daily traffic volumes along NC 163 varied from 2,000 vehicles per day west of the Obids Creek crossing to 5,900 vehicles per day near its western terminus. No section of NC 163 is included with the National Highway System, a network of highways in the United States which serve strategic transportation facilities, nor does it connect to the system.

## History

Established in 1961 as a new primary routing along an existing secondary road (SR 1002), from West Jefferson to near Horse Gap; little has changed since.

# North Carolina Highway 186

North Carolina Highway 186 (NC 186) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Entirely in Northampton County, it helps facilitate truck traffic parallel to I-95 and connects the communities of Seaboard and Margarettsville.

## Route description

NC 186 is a two-lane rural highway that traverses 23.4 miles (37.7 km) from NC 48 near Gaston to the Virginia state line near Margarettsville. The first 3.4 miles (5.5 km) parallel I-95 heading south before joining NC 46 towards Garysburg. Once in Garysburg, its concurrency with NC 46 ends and then briefly overlaps with US 301 before it heads in a northeasterly direction out of town. It then proceeds to connect Gumberry, Seaboard, and Margarettsville, before crossing the state line into Virginia, becoming Virginia State Route 186 (SR 186), and heading towards Branchville, Virginia and Boykins, Virginia.

## History

Established around 1975 as a renumbering of NC 195; the number change was to match with Virginia's SR 186, which was originally SR 195 before I-195 was established in Richmond, Virginia, around 1970. It remained unchanged until May 21, 2013, when it was extended west and north from its former terminus at US 301 to NC 48. The justification for the extension was to help facilitate truck traffic and serve the Northampton Commerce Park and Enviva Industrial Facility, on what was SR 1200 (Lebanon Church Road and James Jones Road); it can also be used as an alternate route for I-95 in the event traffic has to be rerouted.

### North Carolina Highway 195

North Carolina Highway 195 (NC 195) was established around 1938 as a renumbering of NC 305 between Garysburg to Seaboard, then continuing east on new primary routing into Virginia becoming SR 195. Around 1970, SR 195 was renumbered to SR 186; North Carolina reciprocated in 1975.

# Alma Park, New South Wales

Alma Park is a farming area closely associated with the Pleasant Hills township situated about 17 kilometres to its north. It is a part of the Greater Hume Shire Local Government Area. While it is listed in some maps and other documents as a town, it is nothing more than an area of settlement that in some cases is referred to jointly with Pleasant Hills, for example the Alma Park/Pleasant Hills Landcare Group
Other than private properties that farm both wheat and similar grain crops and cattle, the only obvious indication of the location of Alma Park is an old Lutheran church that still exists on the Alma Park–Pleasant Hills Road.

## German settlement

Alma Park has close links with the Pleasant Hills community particularly with regard to its Wendish German (Lutheran) heritage when a large group of these settlers arrived in the 1880s. At the time Alma Park was referred to as Wallendool.
Greendale Post Office opened on 1 July 1875, was renamed Alma Park in 1905 and closed in 1910.
# North Carolina Highway 209

North Carolina Highway 209 (NC 209) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway runs north–south from Lake Junaluska to Hot Springs.

## Route description

NC 209 is a 36.6-mile-long (58.9 km) two-lane mountain highway that begins at a busy intersection with US 19/US 23/US 74/US 23 Business in Lake Junaluska. Going north, it crosses over I-40 and through some valley farmlands. The road bends east at Max Patch Road and begins some curvy climbing on and around Hebo Mountain, entering Madison County at Betsy's Gap (3,895 ft (1,187 m), highest point on route). Entering the Spring Creek Valley, it passes through the communities of Luck and Trust, before reaching Spring Creek; from there the remaining 10 miles (16 km) becomes an aggressively winding road, and is not recommended for commercial trucks. Once past all the twists and turns, travelers arrive in Hot Springs, where the highway ends at US 25/US 70.
From just north of where the highway crosses the Pigeon River to NC 63, NC 209 forms the eastern border of the Pisgah National Forest. North of NC 63, the highway is completely within the borders of the forest to its northern terminus.

### Scenic byway

NC 209 is part of one scenic byway in the state (indicated by a Scenic Byways sign).
The Appalachian Medley is a 45-mile (72 km) byway from near Lake Junaluska to Walnut; it is known for several recreational areas, the Appalachian Trail, and its scenic mountain drive. NC 209 forms the main part of the scenic byway, connecting with US 25/US 70, in Hot Springs, where it continues the rest of the route.

## History

Established in 1921 as an original state route, it went from NC 10, in Lake Junaluska to NC 20, in Hot Springs. In 1954, NC 209 was extended a .5-mile (0.80 km) south to its current southern terminus.

# THEOS (satellite)

THEOS, also known as Thaichote, is an Earth observation mission of Thailand, developed at EADS Astrium SAS, Toulouse, France. In July 2004, EADS Astrium SAS signed a contract for delivery of THEOS with GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency) of Bangkok, Thailand. GISTDA is Thailand's leading national organization (i.e., space agency) in the field of space activities and applications. The Thai Ministry of Science and Technology funds the program.
THEOS was launched from Dombarovskiy at 06:37 UTC on 1 October 2008, by a Dnepr rocket. The satellite was initially planned for a 2007 launch using the space vehicle Rokot of Eurockot Launch Services . The contract was however canceled when Eurockot faced a parts shortage.
On 24 March 2014, THEOS captured images showing some 300 objects in close proximity to the suspected crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, in the Indian Ocean. The discovery was reported by GISTDA on 27 March 2014. The objects have not yet been identified as debris.

## Benefits

THEOS was used to observe natural resources in the country by gathering information to be used by both the government and public for research and mapping. THEOS observation missions are conducted to observe agriculture sites, the production of agricultural crops, forest demolition, forest types, shrimp farms, water pollution from oil leaks, water sources, community areas, illegal farms, disaster areas, and the satellite can also be used for city planning. THEOS also reduces the cost of purchasing satellite images from other countries. Moreover, the information that is gathered from the satellite can also be sold to other countries. Thailand has also gained knowledge and technology for designing and building satellite from the French. In addition, specialists from France also travel to Thailand to teach Thai personnel every year.

## Overview

THEOS was designed to be a small sized satellite with a mass of 750 kg (include equipment and fuel). It has a hexagonal shape with a height of 2.4 meters and a width of 2 meters (when the solar panel folds). It was launched into low Earth orbit in 2008 to an altitude of 822 km and with an inclination of 98 degrees. It is equipped with optical imagery which can observe in the visible band to near infrared. Its mission duration is expected to be at least 5 years.
