Sensitive Habitat Protection (Ocotillo Wells SVRA)
Unlike larger dune areas these small hummocks, which are held in place by larger vegetation, are negatively impacted by riding. Fencing is necessary to preserve the habitats and to allow impacted areas time to rejuvenate. Fenced-in areas of this type include Barrel Springs, County Line, Morton Dunes, as well as some smaller areas throughout the Park.In 2008 an Environmental Scientist successfully germinated a large number of native plants, and a fortuitous rain event gave him the opportunity to transplant approximately 85 plants in several of the fenced-in hummocks. When the transplants become established, they will stabilize new dune accumulations.Another category of sensitive habitat includes water sources. Springs, which tend to occur in heavily traveled areas along a fault line through the Park, are fenced in to protect them and the wildlife utilizing the water resource.Enclosed special natural features include Shell Reef and the Palo Verde Fossil Beds (both contain large accumulations of marine fossils), Gas Dome (where water bubbles with pressurized gases from deep below ground can be found) and the Cove (a rocky mesa at the base of Borrego Mountain).

Direct Broadcast
One of the unique features of the MODIS instrument is its 
 Direct Broadcast capability – in addition to storing 
 data for later download at designated intervals, MODIS immediately 
 broadcasts the raw data it collects on the chance that someone 
 on the ground below is listening. The Terra MODIS instrument 
 was one of the first satellites to constantly broadcast data 
 for anyone with the right equipment and software to download, 
 free of charge.
The MODIS direct broadcast system began with Terra on Monday, 
 April 24, 2000, and for Aqua on July 12, 2002. Both broadcast 
 full-time except when passing over any of NASA’s Deep 
 Space Network antennas that are actively tracking a remote 
 spacecraft. It is estimated that this will occur less than 
 two hours per day. (For more information, please visit the 
 Terra 
 Direct Readout Website.)
Millerton Lake State Recreation Area
Visitors to Millerton Lake State Recreation Area (SRA) can experience a wide range of outdoor activities at this central Sierra Nevada foothill reservoir. The park lies in Fresno and Madera counties, bifurcated by the San Joaquin River channel, traversing its historical route from the Sierra Crest to the California Delta. Millerton Lake SRA is host to a multiuse trail system and to over forty miles of shoreline. The several thousand square acres of water surface area is popular with boaters and fishermen. Locals and out-of-town visitors enjoy the temperate climate, with warm to hot summers and cool winters. The region is the traditional and ceremonial homeland of the Dumna and Kechaye, a Yokuts Native American group of Central California. Their involvement in the park and impact on the landscape is appreciated by visitors daily.

The Town of Danville refers to practices and technologies that aim to integrate the management of land, water, biodiversity, and other environmental resources to meet human needs while ensuring the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services and livelihoods.A sustainable landscape is designed to be both attractive and in balance with the local climate and environment and it should require minimal resource inputs. The design must be functional, cost-efficient, visually pleasing, environmentally friendly and maintainable.Some of the solutions being developed are:Reduction of stormwater run-off using bio-swalesReduction of water use in landscapes through design of water-wise garden techniquesIntegrated Pest Management techniquesEnergy-efficient landscape design in the form of proper placement and selection of shade trees and creation of wind breaksPermeable paving materials to reduce stormwater run-off and allow rain water to infiltrate into the ground and replenish groundwater rather than run into surface waterRecycling of products, such as tree branches to create mulchIntegration and adoption of renewable energy, including solar powered landscape lighting

Fact Sheet

9-by 15-Foot Wind Tunnel Fact Sheet
Built in 1968, the 9- by 15-Foot Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (9×15 LSWT) is the most utilized low-speed propulsion acoustic facility in the world.

	Read the 9-by 15-Foot Fact Sheet 	

The 9×15 low speed tunnel tests take off and landing of aircraft. The laser velocimetry system for flow measurement show here, with the color blue and green lasers, measures engine exhaust that comes back up from the ground. The STOVL model n the 9×15 low speed wind tunnel, building 39, is similar to the British Harrier aircraft.

Schuyler Flatts Burial Ground | The New York State Museum
To learn more about the individuals from the Schuyler Flatts Burial Ground, a bioarchaeological study of the human remains was conducted. As living tissue, bones and teeth change as we grow and age. They also respond to various stresses encountered during life and can bear evidence of poor nutrition, infection, and disease as well as activity-related behavior. Analysis of the Schuyler Flatts individuals shows clear evidence of musculoskeletal stress and early onset arthritis from a lifetime of hard work. They also suffered from poor dental health and some teeth show marks of habitual activities such as pipe smoking. They exhibit less evidence of nutritional stress when compared with their urban counterparts at the New York African Burial Ground possibly as a result of rural enslavement. 
A total of 14 individuals were recovered from the burial ground. It is believed that other graves may have been disturbed in the past or remain unmarked at the burial ground. Half of individuals recovered were children including five infants who may have been stillborn or died shortly after birth. Their remains…
The other individuals recovered were adults including 6 women and 1 man.
Burial 3 is a woman who was 35-45 years old when she died. She stood about 5’3” tall. Some of her back teeth had been lost and others had cavities. She once fractured a bone in her left wrist but it was long since healed. She had strong arms along with mild arthritis. She was identified as of African ancestry based on the shape of her bones but DNA analysis identified her maternal ancestry as Native American and possibly Micmac, a tribe in the Canadian maritimes.
Burial 7 is a woman over 50 years old who had lost all of her teeth long before she died. She stood about 5’3” tall and was robust for her size with muscular arms, legs, and hands. Hard work caused her to have arthritis in all of her major joints and may have led to fractures earlier in life to vertebrae in her neck and lower back. Her bones were osteoporotic and she sustained four broken ribs shortly before she died, possibly due to a fall. She was probably born in New York but DNA analysis suggests her maternal ancestry was from west or west-central Africa.

 Blast off!

Delta rocket similar to the one that launched the Deep Space 1 spacecraft from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in October 1998.

Real rockets work kind of the same way as the pop rocket. But instead of using tablets that fizz in water, they use rocket fuel.
The rocket that launched Deep Space 1 on October 24, 1998, had four different kinds of engines. Some pushed the rocket off the ground. Then some helped it continue its climb into space. Others gave the Deep Space 1 spacecraft its final push away from Earth. But all of them forced a gas to shoot out of the rocket, thus pushing the rocket the other way.

Universal Stage Adapter (USA) | Glenn Research Center | NASA
“The second configuration of SLS, known as Block 1B, will be the workhorse of the proving ground phase of NASA’s journey to Mars,” said Steve Creech, Director of the SLS Spacecraft and Payload Integration and Evolution Office at NASA’s Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville, Ala. where the SLS Program is managed.
The Universal Stage Adapter (USA) is utilized for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS). The SLS is a powerful, advanced heavy-lift launch vehicle designed to be flexible and evolvable for deep-space destinations. The base contract effort, led by Dynetics a subsidiary of Leidos, is to design, test, manufacture, and deliver one USA.  The acquisition also includes qualification and flight quick disconnects, payload encapsulation tooling, lifting Ground Support Equipment (GSE), transportation hardware, internal access platforms, and ground processing and transportation cover.
The USA will integrate the Exploration Upper Stage (EUS) to the Orion crew module while providing structural, electrical, and communication paths. The USA will also provide environmental control to payloads during integrated ground operations, launch, and ascent phases. The USA will integrate primary, co-manifested, and secondary payloads on the EUS.
