TOPEX Press Conference (2 of 2)

Footage shows the continuation of the TOPEX Press Conference. The panelists are seen answering questions from the participating audience as well as from NASA Centers. Answers address Kelvin waves, pulses of warm water, sea surface temperature, and the direction in which the project is heading. Also presented are TOPEX/POSEIDON playbacks of the topography and currents of the World Ocean. The video also shows stills of the Central Pacific Ocean from Nov. 1992 to Jan. 1993 and observations of the El Nino events.

STS-42/Discovery/IML-1 Admiral Richard Truly Press Briefing

A press briefing is presented by Admiral Richard Truly about the STS-42 Discovery International Microgravity Laboratory-1 (IML). He describes the launch that took place on the morning of January 22, 1992. It was NASA's first launch of 1992 following the Challenger disaster. Life Sciences and materials science microgravity experiments were flown on the STS-42 to study the behavior of materials and living things in microgravity. The briefing ends with a short question and answer period.

Thermal Conductance of Pressed Bimetal Contact Pairs at Liquid Nitrogen Temperatures

Large Dewars often use aluminum radiation shields and stainless steel vent lines. A simple, low cost method of making thermal contact between the shield and the line is to deform the shield around the line. A knowledge of the thermal conductance of such a joint is needed to thermally analyze the system. The thermal conductance of pressed metal contacts consisting of one aluminum and one stainless steel contact has been measured at 77 K, with applied forces from 8.9 N to 267 N. Both 5052 or 5083 aluminum were used as the upper contact. The lower contact was 304L stainless steel. The thermal conductance was found to be linear in temperature over the narrow temperature range of measurement. As the force was increased, the thermal conductance ranged from roughly 9 to 21 mW/K within a range of errors from 3% to 8%. Within the range of error no difference could be found between the using either of the aluminum alloys as the upper contact. Extrapolating the data to zero applied force does not result in zero thermal conductance. Possible causes of this anomalous effect are discussed.
