Trailer Big To Run Airport Fog Tests
A mobile unit designed by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory Buffalo and sponsored by NASA spreads salt above runway approaches to break up fog. Mounted on a trailer truck rig the unit uses a nitrogen jet to propel salt powder 300 feet aloft into a shrouded nine foot diameter propeller. El mira airport temporarily hosts the test as foggy weather approaches.

Space Antenna Records Signals From Pulsars
Space scientists at Goldstone observe regular radio pulses from pulsars using the 210 foot Deep Space Network antenna. Observations across multiple frequencies aim to determine energy output and interstellar medium effects. The effort involves Caltech JPL and global observatories to study these objects in the Milky Way.

Space Systems Undergo Destructive Testing At Kennedy
Kennedy Space Center engineers rely on nondestructive testing to inspect spacecraft components before launch. Techniques include radiography ultrasonic testing magnetic particle tests electromagnetic testing and dye penetrant. Tests occur without dismantling parts and can handle large field components or tiny 1/8 inch diodes, ensuring readiness after shipping and handling checks.

Vacuum Low Temperatures Recreates Space Lab at MSFC
In Huntsville Alabama the Sunspot I room sized thermal vacuum chamber at Marshall Space Flight Center simulates space environment for Apollo Telescope Mount tests. The 12 by 17 foot chamber reaches ultimate vacuum in 4.5 hours, uses quartz lamps, and cools inner walls to 200 degrees below zero. It supports testing of the telescope mount, docking adapter, Saturn Workshop, and future systems including a solar simulator and rapid pump down to mimic a Saturn 1B launch.

Boiling Research Aims to Improve Propulsion Systems
Dr Haruo Oguro of the University of Cincinnati leads a NASA funded study into pool and forced convection boiling to better heat transfer. The project uses two facilities with viewing windows and thermocouple probes to measure bubble energy, size and frequency for insights into two phase flow and propulsion efficiency.

Predicting Quakes By Laser Light Survey System
NASA reports North American Rockwell has developed a laser survey system to measure crust movements along fault zones. The portable setup would provide continuous measurements to detect stress buildup and may predict earthquakes hours to weeks in advance, reducing survey costs.
