Book A Study of the Characteristics of Thunderstorm Cessation at the NASA Kennedy Space Center

Download or read book A Study of the Characteristics of Thunderstorm Cessation at the NASA Kennedy Space Center written by Michael Shawn Hinson and published by . This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lightning summary was developed for a 100x100 kilometer area centered at the NASA Kennedy Space Center. Spatial and temporal patterns, and first stroke peak currents were analyzed from 1986-1995. Three thunderstorms were chosen due to their proximity to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and examined for their end of storm characteristics. Radar echoes at the -10 deg C and -20 deg C temperature heights were associated with cloud to ground (CG) lightning strike locations from the National Lightning Detection Network. Electric fields were also examined during the same time frame for any correlations. A pattern was observed for the spatial distribution of CG lightning. An inland maximum in ground flash density was observed during the summer months for both negative and positive flashes. The summer months had the lowest percentage positive flashes (2.5%) while the maximum value occurred during the winter (11.4%). Although thunderstorms can occur at any time during the day, the diurnal distribution of lightning flashes showed that the afternoon (2000 UTC) was the time of maximum lightning activity. From a time history of radar echoes, it was found that a 45 dBZ echo, last detected at the -10 deg C temperature height, may be a good indicator of the end of lightning activity. The observed lag times between this lightning termination signature and the end of all CG lightning flashes was 30 min for all three thunderstorms.

This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full color publication. This document has been produced and updated over a 21-year period. It is intended to be a handy reference document, basically one page per flight, and care has been exercised to make it as error-free as possible. This document is basically "as flown" data and has been compiled from many sources including flight logs, flight rules, flight anomaly logs, mod flight descent summary, post flight analysis of mps propellants, FDRD, FRD, SODB, and the MER shuttle flight data and inflight anomaly list. Orbit distance traveled is taken from the PAO mission statistics.

Book The Smell of Kerosene

Download or read book The Smell of Kerosene written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book puts the reader in the pilot's seat for a "day at the office" unlike any other. The Smell of Kerosene tells the dramatic story of a NASA research pilot who logged over 11,000 flight hours in more than 125 types of aircraft. Donald Mallick gives the reader fascinating first-hand description of his early naval flight training, carrier operations, and his research flying career with NASA. After transferring to the NASA Flight Research Center, Mallick became involved with projects that further pushed the boundaries of aerospace technology. These included the giant delta-winged XB-70 supersonic airplane, the wingless M2-F1 lifting body vehicle, and triple-sonic YF-12 Blackbird. Mallick also test flew the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle and helped develop techniques used in training astronauts to land on the Moon.
