Procedures for installing fire protection systems in large buildings are discussed. Factors considered in the safety management are: (1) distribution of water supply, (2) design and location of exits, (3) emergency power system, and (4) maintenance procedures.
Request procedures are described for Mariner 9 TV picture data. Image processing laboratory, user's guides, mosaics, catalogues, and microfiches are briefly discussed. Samples of the limb picture microfiche index and catalogue are presented.
This study was initiated in July 1972 to determine the reliability of satellite and high altitude sensors to provide data about oceanographic parameters in coastal waters; demonstrate the use of remotely sensed oceanographic information to predict the distribution and abundance of adult menhaden; and, demonstrate the potential of using satellite acquired information for improving the harvest and management of a fishery resource. The study focused on coastal are as in the north central portion of the Gulf of Mexico including parts of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The area used in the final analysis was limited to the Mississippi Sound, which is approximately 145 kilometers (90 miles) long and 16 kilometers (10 miles) wide, has an average water depth of about 3.7 meters (12 feet), and in general characterizes an estuarine environment.
The many missions under consideration require that the Shuttle, Tug, and Spacelab be extremely versatile. This versatility is being designed into all aspects of the systems. It is believed it will be possible to have simple interfaces between payloads and the basic spacecraft. With capability in the Shuttle to fly into orbits ranging up to polar inclination, and the capability in the Tug to fly to the planets, the combination appears capable of flying all of the missions identified as probable for the 1980s. By taking man into space with his instruments in the Spacelab it is believed that a high degree of mission success can be achieved with less emphasis in instrument perfection than is demanded today.
Alloy has high temperature properties exceeding strength of all known superalloys. It exhibits inherent resistance to oxidation and high temperature hot corrosion.
The National Marine Fisheries Service has been studying the application of aerospace remote sensing to fisheries management and utilization for many years. The 15-month ERTS study began in July 1972 to: (1) determine the reliability of satellite and high altitude sensors to provide oceanographic parameters in coastal waters; (2) demonstrate the use of remotely-sensed oceanographic information to predict the distribution and abundance of adult menhaden; and (3) demonstrate the potential use of satellites for acquiring information for improving the harvest and management of fisheries resources. The study focused on a coastal area in the north-central portion of the Gulf of Mexico, including parts of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The test area used in the final analysis was the Mississippi Sound and the area outside the barrier islands to approximately the 18-meter (10-fathom) curve.
