A brief overview is given of the theoretical work done on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) done in this workshop. Papers on energy source models, optical transients, X-ray and gamma-ray continuum models, and cyclotron line models are reviewed.
A review is presented of the aircraft parabolic flight program in the U.S. including the USAF and NASA participation from 1957 to the present. The parabolic flight profile to achieve microgravity levels and intermediate g-levels is discussed. The NASA reduced gravity aircraft is described including the service provisions for this reimbursable project.
This video presentation covers Shuttle flights 1 and 2, Spacelab, mobile workstation, Voyager 2 Saturn, Infrared Astronomy Satellite, Hubble Space Telescope, Kuiper Airborne Observatory, High Altitude Earth Survey, Landsat, aerodynamic research, electric cars, wind energy, XV-15, Quiet Shorthaul Research Aircraft, X-14 BVTOL, 40 x 80 Wind Tunnel, and turboprop research.
Important visual events including launch, Syncom 4 deployment, LDEF retrieval, onboard crew activities, and landing are presented. Air-to-ground transmission between the crew and Mission Control is also included.
Historical film footage of the X-series aircraft (including Yeager's X-1 flight), lifting bodies, and early Apollo landing tests is presented.
The following are presented: computer animation of trajectories for both Voyagers 1 and 2; view of Jupiter during one orbit of Ganymede; computer animation of Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter and its satellites; time lapse of the planet's rotation and its satellites; stroboscopic sequence of selected frames; cloud motion; Jupiter's Great Red Spot (4/25 - 5/24, 1979) through a violet filter; and the Great Red Spot through a blue filter by Voyager 1. The dynamics of Jupiter's clouds are shown - the whole planet is shown first, then two closer looks are repeated several times. Also included are pans of stills of Jupiter's satellites and a computer simulation tour of Saturn system from POV just behind Voyager, made of 116 images of Saturn through a green filter and of 516 images taken by Voyager 1 (9/12 - 9/14, 1980). Frames are enhanced to show the motion of features in Saturn's rings. Pans of stills of Saturn's satellites are shown. There is computer animation of the planet's system, rings, and Sigma Sagittari. Images on January 14, 1986 are through an orange filter. Uranus's satellites are shown as is computer animation of an August 1989 encounter.
