Key adapters for the first crewed Artemis missions are manufactured at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The cone-shaped payload adapter, left, will debut on the Block 1B configuration of the SLS rocket beginning with Artemis IV, while the Orion stage adapters, right, will be used for Artemis II and Artemis III.

A test version of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket’s payload adapter is ready for evaluation, marking a critical milestone on the journey to the hardware’s debut on NASA’s Artemis IV mission.
Comprised of two metal rings and eight composite panels, the cone-shaped payload adapter will be part of the SLS Block 1B configuration and housed inside the universal stage adapter atop the rocket’s more powerful in-space stage, called the exploration upper stage. The payload adapter is an evolution from the Orion stage adapter used in the Block 1 configuration of the first three Artemis missions that sits at the topmost portion of the rocket and helps connect the rocket and spacecraft.
“Like the Orion stage adapter and the launch vehicle stage adapter used for the first three SLS flights, the payload adapter for the evolved SLS Block 1B configuration is fully manufactured and tested at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama,” said Casey Wolfe, assistant branch chief for the advanced manufacturing branch at Marshall.
NASA, Industry to Start Designing More Sustainable Jet Engine Core - NASA
The goal of the project, named Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC), is to demonstrate this compact core and have the technology ready for adoption in engines powering next-generation aircraft in the 2030s. HyTEC is a key component of NASA’s Sustainable Flight National Partnership.
To achieve its ambitious goal, HyTEC is structured in two phases:

Phase 1, which is wrapping up, focused on selecting the component technologies to use in the core demonstrator.
Phase 2, starting now, will see researchers design, build, and test a compact core in collaboration with GE Aerospace.

“Phase 1 of HyTEC is winding down and we are ramping up Phase 2,” said Anthony Nerone, who leads HyTEC at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland. “This phase will culminate in a core demonstration test that proves the technology so it can transition to industry.”
The End of the Beginning
Before researchers could start the design and build process for the core, they had to explore innovative new materials to use in the engine. After three years of notably fast progress, HyTEC researchers came up with solutions.
“We’ve been laser-focused since day one. We began the project with certain technical goals and metrics for success and, so far, we haven’t had to change course from any of them,” Nerone said.
To shrink the size of a core while maintaining the same level of thrust, heat and pressure must increase compared to standard jet engines used today. This means the engine core must be made of more durable materials that can withstand higher temperatures.
In addition to conducting materials research, the project also explored advanced aerodynamics and other key technical elements.

Cross section of a typical turbofan jet engine highlights parts of the core HyTEC will work to advance. These include the high-pressure compressor, combustor, high pressure turbine, and power extraction components.

What Comes Next
Phase 2 builds on Phase 1 to create a compact core for ground testing that proves HyTEC’s capabilities.
“Phase 2 is very complex. It’s not just a core demonstration,” Nerone said.

Camping

How do I make a camping reservation?Reservations can be made online through ReserveCalifornia at www.ReserveCalifornia.com or (800) 444-PARK (7275). Camping and lodging inventory becomes available each day for a period of six months in advance.
If this is your first time making a reservation, please be advised that our parks are loved by many within and outside the state of California. Due to demand, reservations for popular locations such as coastal beaches and campgrounds or cabins in the redwoods can be booked months in advance. Plan, do your research and have alternate parks in mind in case your first choice is booked. One alternative is to visit a fully booked park during the day but have lodging elsewhere nearby.
How do I cancel my camping reservation?Cancellations can be made via www.ReserveCalifornia.com or by calling the Customer Call Center at (800) 444-PARK (7275). Detailed information about the cancellation policy can be found here.
What are some helpful camping tips for year-round camping enjoyment?

For reservation sites, plan ahead.
Determine where you want to camp and be flexible.
Consider nonreservation sites, less busy days and less popular camps.
Remember the holiday rush. The closer you make a reservation to a holiday (Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day), the further north and inland you may need to go.
Consider cancellations. Check online periodically for cancellations or contact our Customer Call Center at (800) 444-PARK (7275). While cancellations are rare and no waiting lists are available at the moment, cancellations do occur.
Consider visiting the park for a day.
Visit us in April, May, September and October. This is considered our “shoulder season.” It is a good time to enjoy California’s state parks as the weather during these months is usually good.
Please leave the campsite in good condition. The camper who follows you will appreciate it. Remember to pack it in, pack it out.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
A failure of the proposed road puts the Rubicon as a whole in jeopardy, inclusive of access to our property. Soil Conservation: Where is the required documentation? Evaluation Criteria: #3: 1: It states in grant original trail will be rehabilitated. Is this closed? Is this abandoned losing RS2477 rights? 2. Points for providing a restroom used by contractor? This is in no way benefitting the public trail user. 3. You are closing original trail; this does not benefit or preserve the public’s right of way at all. In fact, quite the opposite, it opens the door to potential closures. #5. Where is the documentation for the public to see? #8. If this re route construction fails or becomes victim to seasonal closures, how does this sustain or benefit OHV recreation? #9. Hiking the PCT is in no way related to OHV. #10. 1. Public notice of meeting, where is the documentation of this announcement? There is an existing email list of property owners including ourselves and we did not receive any notification of this meeting. 2. Rubicon Trail Foundation. Stakeholder, Contractor and paid vendor? They cannot be all three. 3. Rubicon Trail Foundation lists themselves on their website as the money raising arm of FOTR. They are clearly one in the same entity but you list them as separate organizations to gain points. 11. Rubicon Trail Foundation and Friends of The Rubicon are one in the same. 13. Rubicon stands alone, this grant has nothing to do with Fordyce trail. Fordyce trail is important in and of itself. In Closing: As stated above, the need for trail work in this area is not in question and needs to be addressed but too many questions and risks to not only ourselves as local property owners but also every trail user now and for generations to come exist in this proposed grant as it sits today.

Los Piños Center | California Conservation Corps
Los Piños Center wildland firefighting Corpsmembers train how to build fire lines by using hand tools to dig down to bare minimum soil. 

 

Corpsmembers live in dormitories on center grounds. Each dorm has a flat screen television and couch. The center’s recreation room includes a professional billiards table, big screen television, air hockey, and foosball table. Laundry machines are on site for Corpsmembers to use, but Corpsmembers must provide their own detergent. The center also has a full-sized indoor basketball court, two outdoor basketball courts, a baseball field, a soccer field, and numerous trails for hiking and walking.
The 43-acre facility is often visited by deer and other mountain wildlife. The remnants of early settlers to the region can also be found on the campus, including markers for an abandoned gold mine, and mortars carved into rock used to grind ingredients into a fine paste or powder.
Volunteering and engaging with local communities are a hallmark of all CCC centers. As the Lake Elsinore and Santa Ana Mountain communities interact with Los Piños crews more, volunteer opportunities will arise.

 
 
 

Projects

 

Los Piños Corpsmembers Michael Franco and his crew practice cutting hand line near the center’s buildings. 

 

Los Piños Center Corpsmembers work to combat wildfires in Riverside County and across California. Two crews work in partnership with CAL FIRE to serve on hand crews to help slow and stop the spread of wildfires. The Los Piños Center partners with CAL FIRE Riverside (RRU) unit to respond to local incidents, as well as major wildfires across the state.
Corpsmembers get paid to train and get hands-on experience fighting wildfires. Through the CCC-CAL FIRE partnership, Corpsmembers earn the certifications necessary to launch their firefighting careers and get hired by agencies like the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, CAL FIRE, and other local municipalities.
When not combatting active wildfires or training for the rigors of wildland firefighting, Corpsmembers help reduce the fire threat. Working with area partners, the crews remove and reduce potential fuel for wildfires, including overgrown vegetation and dead trees.
