ROM-Based Plan-Position-Indicator Sweep Driver

Circuit produces PPI display on conventional X-Y oscilloscope. Circuit requires three inputs. First is once-per-scan pulse to synchronize display to north, relative heading, or another reference direction. Second is once-per-degree-of-rotation pulse to advance sweep rotation. Third input is normal sweep ramp. Duration of ramp corresponds to maximum displayed range. Changing ramp duration, while holding its peak amplitude constant, changes maximum displayed range. Conventional methods to accomplish this task use mechanically-driven deflection coils or mechanically-driven sine and cosine potentiometers, requiring mechanical preventive maintenance plus dedicated display indicator. New method displays radar sweep on any conventional storage oscilloscope.

An analyses of CD-ROM technology for spacelink

This study first examined the possibility of placing NASA CD's in the Spacelink Public Electronic Library (SPEL). The goal of this task was to place these materials on the Internet. The second part of the study addressed the possibility of using CD's as storage for portions of SPEL. These files would also be on the Internet and available to the users of Spacelink.

Welcome to NASA's Earth Science Enterprise: Educational CD-ROM Activity Supplement

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has been studying the Earth and its changing environment by observing the atmosphere, oceans, land, ice, and snow, and their influence on weather and climate. We now understand that the key to gaining a better understanding of the global environment is exploring how the Earth's systems of air, land, water, and life interact with each other. This approach-called Earth Systems Science-blends together fields like meteorology, oceanography, geology, and biology. In 1991, NASA launched a more comprehensive program to study the Earth as an integrated environmental system. They call it NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. A major component of the Earth Science Enterprise is the Earth Observing System (EOS). EOS is series of satellites to be launched over the next two decades that will be used to intensively study the Earth, with the hopes of expanding our under- standing of how natural processes affect us, and how we might be affecting them. Such studies will yield improved weather forecasts, tools for managing agriculture and forests, information for fishermen and local planners, and, eventually, the ability to predict how the climate will change in the future. Today's program is laying the foundation for long-term environmental and climate monitoring and prediction. Potentially, this will provide the understanding needed in the future to support difficult decisions regarding the Earth's environment.

The NASDA Global Rain Forest Mapping (GRFM) Project Releases First CD-ROM

The goal of the Global Rain Forest Mapping project (GRFM) is to acquire continuous, high resolution L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery of the major tropical rain forests of the world using the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS-1) SAR.
