Various paginations approximately 125 pages. References. From Wikipedia: "The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center DLR to construct and maintain an airborne observatory. NASA awarded the contract for the development of the aircraft operation of the observatory and management of the American part of the project to the Universities Space Research Association USRA in 1996. The DSI Deutsches SOFIA Institut manages the German parts of the project which are primarily science and telescope related. SOFIA's telescope saw first light on May 26 2010. SOFIA is the successor to the Kuiper Airborne Observatory.SOFIA is based on a Boeing 747SP wide-body aircraft that has been modified to include a large door in the aft fuselage that can be opened in flight to allow a 2.5 meter diameter reflecting telescope access to the sky. This telescope is designed for infrared astronomy observations in the stratosphere at altitudes of about 41 000 feet about 12 km. SOFIA's flight capability allows it to rise above almost all of the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere which blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching the ground. At the aircraft's cruising altitude 85% of the full infrared range will be available. The aircraft can also travel to almost any point on the Earth's surface allowing observation from the northern and southern hemispheres. Once ready for use the expectation is for observing flights to be flown 3 or 4 nights a week for the next 20 years. SOFIA is now based at NASA's Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility at LA/Palmdale Regional Airport California while staff at NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View California operate the SOFIA Science Center where astronomical observation missions are planned for the flying observatory. The NASA logo reflected in SOFIAs 2.5-meter primary mirror. SOFIA uses a 2.5-meter reflector telescope which has an oversized 2.7 meter diameter primary mirror as is common with most large infrared telescopes. The optical system uses a Cassegrain reflector design with a parabolic primary mirror and a remotely configurable hyperbolic secondary. In order to fit the telescope into the fuselage the primary is shaped to an f-number as low as 1.3 while the resulting optical layout has an f-number of 19.7. A flat tertiary dichroic mirror is used to deflect the infrared part of the beam to the Nasmyth focus where it can be analyzed. An optical mirror located behind the tertiary mirror is used for a camera guidance system. The telescope looks out of a large door in the side of the fuselage near the airplane's tail and will initially carry nine instruments for infrared astronomy at wavelengths from 1 655 micrometres and high-speed optical astronomy at wavelengths from 0.3 1.1 micrometres. The main instruments are the FLITECAM a near infrared camera covering 1 5 micrometres; FORCAST covering the mid-infrared range of 5 40 micrometres and HAWC which spans the far infrared in the range 42 210 micrometres. The other four instruments include an optical photometer and infrared spectrometers with various spectral ranges. SOFIA s telescope is by far the largest ever to be placed in an aircraft. For each mission one interchangeable science instrument will be attached to the telescope. Two groups of general purpose instruments are available. In addition an investigator can also design and build a special purpose instrument. On April 17 2012 two upgrades to HAWC were selected by NASA to increase the field of view with new detector arrays and to add the capability of measuring the polarization of dust emission from celestial sources. The open cavity housing the telescope will be exposed to high-speed turbulent winds. In addition the vibrations and motions of the aircraft introduce observing difficulties. The telescope was designed to be very lightweight with a honeycomb shape milled into the back of the mirror and polymer composite material used for the telescope.

1964réf. 79107Washington DC: United States Department of the Interior Defense Electric Power Administration 1964. Presumed First Edition First printing. Wraps. Good. vi 243 3 pages. Maps with some color Tables Figures. Notations on front cover and title page. Cover worn. RARE. This is the report of an engineering study on the vulnerability of the nation's electric power systems to attack by nuclear weapons. It was authorized by the Dept. of Defense Office of Civil Defense and the Dept. of the Interior Defense Electric Power Administration. The Office of Civil Defense realizing the necessity of having essential ventilation and illumination in community shelters sought a valid estimate of the electric power service that would be available under conditions following a nuclear attack. The results of this study were intended to provide the requisite estimate. It also contains useful information on the ability of the electric power industry to furnish power for decontamination and recovery during the survival period following the first 15 days of shelter confinement. The Defense Electric Power Administration was selected to perform this study because of its recent experience in conducting related studies. Representatives from more than 1500 operating companies contributed more than 50000 person hours to obtain and analyze much of the technical information and supporting data for the material contained in this report. This study was the most complete analysis made to date 1964 of the effects of an assumed full-scale nuclear attack on the nation's electric power industry. These effects were examined in detail to find out what they mean to the entire electric power industry in terms of physical damage to the generating plants transmission lines and related facilities. The report contains: Summary and Conclusions Study Problem Study Method Generating Capacities Preattack and Surviving Populations by States and Regions Time-Phased Load Capacity and Balance; Regional Summaries by States Time-Phased and Load Capacity and Balance:: Composite and National Summary of All Regions Time-Phased. This report illustrates the restrictive influence of the attack on such factors as power service capability interrelationship between electric power systems and restorational time. It takes into consideration a high-level national attack with nuclear weapons and evaluates its effects on generation facilities substation transformers transmission facilities and interconnections. This overall insight into conditions that will have to be met should be useful to the electric power industry when considering plans and programs to reduce vulnerability to attack and to provide service when and where needed postattack. The results of this study are of special significance to national security because they bear directly on the feasibility of a sound national fallout shelter program. In another sense the value of this study goes beyond the data contained in the report. As the first nationwide effort of its kind it established standards methods and format which can be used to guide future combined industry/government surveys to update or expand information on the vulnerability of electric power systems. The usefulness and validity of the study were increased by directing inquiry to the smallest practical reporting unit--the county.
