Zero Gravity Research Facility

The Zero Gravity Research Facility is NASA’s premier facility for ground based microgravity research, and the largest facility of its kind in the world. It provides researchers with a near weightless environment for a duration of 5.18 seconds.
Facility Overview

The Zero Gravity Research Facility is NASA’s premier facility for ground based microgravity research, and the largest facility of its kind in the world. The Zero-G facility is one of two drop towers located at the NASA site in Brook Park, Ohio. The Zero-G facility has been operational since 1966. It was originally designed and built during the space race era of the 1960s to support research and development of space flight components and fluid systems, in a weightless or microgravity environment. The facility is currently used by NASA funded researchers from around the world to study the effects of microgravity on physical phenomena such as combustion and fluid physics, to develop and demonstrate new technology for future space missions, and to develop and test experiment hardware designed for flight aboard the International Space Station or future spacecraft.
The Zero-G facility provides researchers with a near weightless or microgravity environment for a duration of 5.18 seconds. Microgravity, which is the condition of relative near weightlessness, can only be achieved on Earth by putting an object in a state of free fall. NASA conducts microgravity experiments on earth using drops towers and aircraft flying parabolic trajectories. Allowing the experiment hardware to free fall a distance of 432 feet (132 m) creates the microgravity environment at the Zero-G facility.
Yana Garcia, Secretary for Environmental Protection | CalEPA
Her legal practice areas have focused on environmental justice issues, civil rights, land use, toxics and chemical disclosure, oil and gas extraction, and crude transport. Between 2011 and 2012, Garcia served as a legal research attorney at the San Francisco Superior Court’s Civil Division, Office of the Presiding Judge.
Prior to practicing law, Yana worked on various environmental justice and civil rights projects aimed at achieving equitable access to clean air, clean water, and sustainable food and energy systems in the states of Texas, New Mexico and Massachusetts.
Garcia holds a degree in politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a law degree from Northeastern University School of Law.

“Yana’s deep connection to communities, her strong track record as an environmental attorney in holding polluters accountable, and her commitment to bringing diverse interests together make her uniquely matched to the challenges facing California.
“She is a strategic and compassionate leader who played a central role in helping communities gain access to safe and affordable drinking water. Yana is known nationally as a groundbreaking environmentalist who has lifted up the voices of tribal nations, U.S.-Mexico border communities, and those struggling on the frontlines of the battle for environmental justice. I look forward to working with Yana to implement our ambitious environmental agenda with the knowledge that she is resolute in her commitment to ensuring a California for all.”

FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
What was the final City Council vote on the Mills Park Project at the July 9 meeting?

At the July 9 meeting, the Mayor made two motions: to approve the environmental determination for the project, and to approve the architectural review permit. Only three Council members were able to vote because two members announced their recusal from voting on the project, given the proximity of property they own to the site. In such cases, State law (Government Code §3696) requires that all three Council members vote in favor of the project. Both motions did not pass by a 2 to 1 vote.VotesSupportMayor Rico MedinaLaura DavisDenyMarty MedinaRecusedVice Mayor Irene O'ConnellMichael Salazar

What is Measure N and the Transit Corridors Plan (TCP) and how does this impact the proposed Mills Park Center Development Project?

The "Downtown and Transit Corridors Economic Enhancement Initiative" Proposal - Measure N ballot question was voted and passed by 68.2% of San Bruno voters during the November 4, 2014 election. Besides allowing for the development of 42 residential parcels exceeding the density permitted in 1974 and above-ground multi-story parking garages, the approval of Measure N allowed for the maximum permitted heights and stories in the Transit Corridors Plan (TCP) area.Specifically related to this Project site, Measure N allowed maximum building heights to increase 20 feet along El Camino Real, 15 feet along San Bruno Avenue, 5 feet along San Mateo Avenue, and 40 feet in the Caltrain Station area. The Transit Corridors Plan and Measure N ballot map clearly show the project site as increasing in height by 20 feet and two stories.

 A Message from Dr. Laurie Leshin
 A Message from Dr. Laurie LeshinFirst of a kind. Pathfinding. Groundbreaking. Impactful. These are words that describe JPL and the work we do every day. What brings JPLers together is a shared passion for imagining and then achieving what others might think impossible – in other words, we Dare Mighty Things Together.The purpose of “Dare Mighty Things Together: A Plan for JPL, 2023-2026” is to help us focus on actions that enable JPL to have an expanded positive impact on the space ecosystem in the coming years.The plan includes seven "strategic imperatives" to guide our focus and are designed with a three-year time horizon, taking us to JPL's 90th birthday in October 2026. Our seven strategic imperatives are intended to serve as the foundation of much work over the next three years, advancing our ability to succeed, seed, and lead well into the future.It’s an incredibly exciting time to be at JPL and I’m thrilled to be on this journey with you!

The 2018-19 Budget: The May Revision—Deferred Maintenance
Prior to making future allocations of funds from the above deferred maintenance account, we recommend the Legislature seek information from the administration regarding what factors led to the accumulation of deferred maintenance at individual departments, as well as what longer-term plans departments have developed to ensure that appropriate ongoing maintenance is sustained so that deferred maintenance does not continue to accumulate. This information would enable the Legislature to better assess the nature of the current backlogs and assist it in crafting policies to ensure that departments effectively manage their maintenance programs on an ongoing basis.

<figure class="alignright size-large"><a href="https://news.va.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/05/Jan-Reno_r1.jpg"><img decoding="async" width="167" height="240" src="https://news.va.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/05/Jan-Reno_r1.jpg?w=167" alt="Concentration camp prisoner" class="wp-image-131241" /></a></figure></div>

<p>Jan Reno was one of eight siblings, including her twin sister. Her family became prisoners at the Dachau concentration camp in Munich, the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany.</p>

<p>It operated from 1933 to 1945, subjecting prisoners to forced labor and brutality based on ethnicity, religion and other factors. Over 200,000 people from across Europe were imprisoned in Dachau with tens of thousands perishing due to starvation, disease and violence.</p>

<p>“My grandmother was the only one out of our whole family who survived,” Graham said.</p>

<p>It was on April 29, 1945, that Dachau was liberated by American soldiers, one of whom would become Jan’s future husband.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">“I remember the day the Americans came.”</h2>

<p>“My grandfather, Raymond Reno, was part of the 45th Infantry Division, one of the two divisions that liberated Dachau. He and 47 other soldiers discovered the camp and was part of the team put together for the sole purpose of liberating the camp survivors,” she said.</p>

VA News
<p>It’s essential to remember, however, that just because you or a Veteran loved one are facing challenges doesn’t mean suicide is inevitable. There are things you can do to manage risk factors and VA has resources to help bolster factors to lower your risk.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding risk and protective factors for suicide</h2>

<p>There’s no single cause of suicide. It’s the result of a complex interaction of <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/suicide/factors/index.html" rel="noopener">risk and protective factors</a> at the individual, community and societal levels.</p>

<p>Risk factors are associated with an increased likelihood of suicide-related behaviors and can include:</p>

<ul>
<li>Prior suicide attempt history.</li>

<li>Certain mental health conditions.</li>

<li>Access to lethal means like guns or certain medications.</li>

<li>Stressful life events, such as divorce, job loss or the death of a loved one.</li>
</ul>

<p>Protective factors can help offset those risk factors and are characteristics associated with a decreased likelihood of suicidal behaviors. They include:</p>

<ul>
<li>Access to mental health care.</li>

<li>Feeling connected to other people.</li>

<li>Positive coping skills.</li>
</ul>

<p>Veterans also have unique characteristics and experiences related to their military service that may increase their suicide risk or protect them against it:</p>

<ul>
<li>Veteran risk factors: transition-related challenges, posttraumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury and experience with guns.</li>

<li>Veteran protective factors: resilience, a sense of belonging and purpose through military service, access to VA mental health care and care for substance use disorders, and positive coping skills learned in high-stress settings.</li>
</ul>
The 2024-25 Budget: California State University
Under the Governor’s proposed approach, the state would delay the base increase until 2025‑26, then double up the ongoing increase and provide a one‑time back payment. In the meantime, CSU would increase spending in 2024‑25 by the originally planned amount, most likely by using its reserves. We recommend rejecting this proposal. The Governor’s approach creates risk for the state, which would be committing to a $734 million General Fund increase for CSU in 2025‑26, despite facing a significant projected budget deficit that year. The approach also creates risk for CSU, which would be increasing spending and likely drawing down its reserves in anticipation of a state funding increase in 2025‑26. If the state is unable to provide these funds, then CSU likely would need to consider significant spending reductions that would be more disruptive than containing spending in the first place. Instead of the deferral, we recommend holding CSU funding and spending expectations flat for 2024‑25, then revisiting once the state budget condition improves.
Recommend Also Holding CSU’s Funded Enrollment Target Flat. In 2023‑24, CSU estimates it is enrolling 368,042 resident full‑time equivalent (FTE) students—an increase of 5,788 students over the previous year. The majority of the increase is attributed to campuses converting self‑supported courses to state‑supported courses in summer 2023, with little enrollment growth occurring in fall 2023. Even with the conversion of these summer courses, CSU remains 19,072 students (4.9 percent) below its funded enrollment target. The Governor’s compact had set forth a 1 percent annual increase in CSU’s funded enrollment target. The Governor’s budget maintains this approach despite CSU currently being below that target. We recommend rejecting this approach. Given that CSU could add many more students within its current funded enrollment target, we recommend instead holding the target flat and not allocating any new enrollment growth funding in 2024‑25. Were the state budget condition to deteriorate further over the coming months, the Legislature could also consider whether to reduce CSU’s funded target to align with its current enrollment level, achieving up to $239 million in estimated ongoing General Fund savings.
