Anita Sengupta. Anita Sengupta is an American aerospace engineer. She is a graduate in aerospace and mechanical engineering (MS '00, Ph.D. '05) of the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California. She was the lead systems engineer of the team that developed the parachute system that was deployed during the landing of Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity. She was subsequently the project manager of the Cold Atom Laboratory at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech. She was then the Senior Vice President of Systems Engineering at Virgin Hyperloop One. She is currently Chief Product Officer at Airspace Experience Technologies (ASX).

Early life
Sengupta was born into a Baidya Brahmin family in Glasgow, Scotland before emigrating to New York where she was raised thereafter. Her father hailed from West Bengal, India, and was a mechanical engineer from the Indian Institute of Technology. Her British mother was an expert in French and German. Her parents met while pursuing a PhD at the University of Liverpool. From as young as age six, Sengupta admits being hooked on Star Trek character Spock, and his adventures on board a 23rd-century starship.

Cold Atom Laboratory
Anita Sengupta was the CAL Project Manager.
CAL is a facility for the study of ultra-cold quantum gases in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station (ISS). It will enable research in a temperature regime and  environment that is inaccessible to terrestrial laboratories. In the microgravity environment, up to 20 second long interaction times and as low as 1 picokelvin temperatures are achievable, unlocking the potential to observe new quantum phenomena. The CAL facility is designed for use by multiple scientific investigators and to be upgradable/maintainable on orbit. CAL will also be a pathfinder experiment for future quantum sensors based on laser cooled atoms.

CAL was scheduled to launch in 2016 on a Pressurized Cargo Vehicle in soft-stowage. After docking with ISS the CAL payload was to be installed by astronauts into an EXPRESS (EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station) rack inside the space station. The EXPRESS rack provides a standardized power, data, thermal, and mechanical interface to scientific payloads. CAL was to occupy a quad locker space due to its size and power requirements. Following installation the payload will be operated remotely via sequence control from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The initial mission was planned to have a duration of 12 months with up to five years of extended operation.

List of model railways. This is a list of model railways.

The world's first model railway was made for the son of Emperor Napoleon III in 1859 at the Château de Saint-Cloud. However, "There is a strong possibility that Matthew Murray, who built the geared-for-safety rack engines for John Blenkinsop's coal mine near Leeds, England, was actually the first man ever to make a model locomotive."

Jean-Montet Quasar 200. The Jean-Montet Quasar 200 was a single-seat aerobatic competition aircraft designed and amateur-built in France in the early 1980s. Only one was completed; it won one aerobatic competition and was destroyed less than three years later.

Design and development
The Quasar was designed and built by Jean, Pierre and Phillipe Montet. It was one of many designs developed from the available plans of the successful Stephens Akro aerobatic competitor of 1967.  They were both mid-wing monoplanes with angular flying surfaces, including cantilever wings and wire-braced tailplanes, and with fixed, cantilever tail wheel undercarriages. With a greater wingspan and a more powerful Lycoming flat-four engine, the  IO-360-A the Quasar was heavier than the Akro A.

The Quasar first flew on 10 September 1981.  On 19 September 1982, Pierre Montet flew the Quasar to win the Marcel Doret Cup for aerobatics at Moulins. It was destroyed on 1 April 1985, at its home airfield in Étampes.

Luftwaffe construction units. Luftwaffe construction units were established in 1939 from Reichsarbeitsdienst units transferred to the Luftwaffe, and reinforced with technically competent older conscripts, later also with prisoners of war and foreign volunteers (Hiwis). The main task was the construction and maintenance of military air bases. In 1944 the bulk of the construction units were transferred to the Organization Todt; those remaining under Luftwaffe control becoming Luftwaffe pioneers.

History
During the buildup of the Luftwaffe, necessary construction work was conducted by private contractors with civilian staff. From 1938 units from the Reichsarbeitsdienst were increasingly used by the Luftwaffe for construction purposes. These RAD-units were from 1939 converted into Luftwaffe construction companies and battalions. From 1941 construction regiments, and sometimes construction brigades, were created. Construction units under RAD control still existed; in 1942, 56 companies served with the Luftwaffe in the West. In 1944 most of the construction units were transferred to the Organisation Todt; the construction troops remaining under Luftwaffe control were reorganized into 14 battalions as Lufwaffen-Pioniere.

Mission
The role of the construction and pioneer units consisted of the implementation of all kind of construction projects, principally air base construction, and especially runway construction and repair. The pioneers were also tasked with the destruction of Luftwaffe installations, as the fronts contracted. Construction and pioneer units were also used to combat partisans, and as first-line troops in emergencies.

Personnel
The personnel of the construction units came from the Reichsarbeitsdienst, and from older, technically trained, conscripts. The manual labor were increasingly performed by prisoners of war and by Hiwis.

Organization
The Luftwaffe construction units were immediately subordinated to the air base regional commands, the Koflug, their use directed by its Field Works Office (Feldbauamt), and at the local air base by its Works Superintendent's Office
(Bauleitung), composed of technical military officials. On the Luftgau level, a special staff officer (Stobau), later commander, of the construction units were in charge. In the Reichsluftfahrtministerium an inspector of construction units supervised the technical and military training, and the appropriate use, of the construction units and the pioneers.

Maritime Prepositioning Force Utility Boat. The Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) Utility Boat (MPFUB) is a commercially designed utility craft used primarily to move personnel and light equipment during MPF offload operations. The 41 foot long, high-speed landing craft are replacing the Navy’s existing LCM-8 craft as part of the United States Navy's Improved Navy Lighterage System (INLS) in support of pre-positioned Marine Amphibious assault missions.  Additional missions include supporting waterborne force protection, transportation of personnel and materials, medical evacuation, salvage, damage control, and repair operations.

The MPFUB's power bow ramp facilitates embarking and discharging personnel over an INLS, low pier, or quay.  Cargo capacity is ten tons, or up to 30 personnel with 150 lbs of equipment at speeds up to 25 knots fully loaded.  It can reach speeds around 40 knots when empty.

The MPFUB weighs about 44,000 pounds (19,950 kg). Propulsion is provided by twin Cummins QSM11 engines rated for 660 hp at 2300 rpm and Hamilton 364 water jets (for beach deployments).  The MPFUB has three weapon mounts for M2 Browning, Mk 19 grenade launcher, or M240 machine guns.  It was designed by Kvichak Marine Industries, Incorporated.

Procurement of the MPFUB is managed by the Naval Facilities Expeditionary Logistics Center (NFELC).  The first MPFUB was delivered to the Navy's Assault Craft Unit ONE in 2006.

Barbaro RB-50. The Barbaro RB-50 was a small, French, high wing single engine light aircraft, amateur built in the 1960s.  Only one was completed.

Design and development
René Barbaro was a test flight engineer with Sud Aviation who designed, built and flew several aircraft in the 1960s and early 1970s. Most of these were single engine light aircraft, though he died in July 1972 flying his only twin engine design, the Barbaro RB.70. The Aéro-Club Airbus France Toulouse René Barbaro bears his name.

The RB-50 was of mixed construction. It had a high-mounted, wooden-structured, cantilever wing with a trapezoidal plan, built around a single spar and fabric-covered. Ailerons and slotted flaps filled the wing trailing edges.  The flaps were mechanically operated, with a maximum deflection of 37°.

It was powered by a nose-mounted   Continental C90 air-cooled flat-four engine, driving a two-blade, fixed-pitch  propeller.  The forward and central sections of the fuselage were formed from a riveted light alloy girder frame with a metal skin.  The centre section contained the fuel tank, which was an integral part of the structure supporting the seats and also, indirectly, the main wheel legs of the conventional, tail wheel undercarriage. Short, horizontal aerofoiled extensions from the front of the tank positioned these short, vertical legs safely beyond the cabin and tank, at the same time increasing the undercarriage track. The two occupants sat side by side under the wing leading edge with dual control columns unusually suspended from the roof for ease of access.  The cabin had a single-piece windscreen and three separate windows, decreasing in size rearwards, on each side; on the port side the forward window was part of a large door.

The rear fuselage was a wooden semi-monocoque which dropped down behind the cabin. The RB-50's tail unit was also all-wooden, with a cantilever tailplane mounted on top of the fuselage.  The port elevator carried a trim tab. Its fin had a swept, straight leading edge, leading to a rounded top and an unbalanced rudder, also tapered with a slightly curved trailing edge and extending down to the keel. The tail wheel was strut-mounted to the extreme rear fuselage.

According to Gaillard, the RB-50 flew for the first time on 9 October 1960, though Chillon suggests 9 October 1963.  It was registered on 30 July 1964 to the Toulouse Aero Club. Little is known about the modifications that were made that led to a new type number, RB-51. Gaillard suggests this happened in 1963, but the record gives the name change date as May 1969. The Certificate of Airworthiness was suspended on 30 March 1970, then removed, and the aircraft's record marked destroyed.
