Lockheed YF-94 (S/N 48-373). This was the second aircraft built (from TF-80C) On 16 April 1949, the first YF-94 prototype performed its maiden flight. [6] To accelerate development, these early test aircraft were converted from existing T-33s; they maintained roughly 75% commonality in terms of components with those used in the earlier F-80 and T-33As.
The Starfire Optical Range, as viewed from a helicopter. Three green lasers being fired at a single spot in the sky from the Starfire Optical Range. A FASOR used at the Starfire Optical Range for LIDAR and laser guide star experiments is tuned to the sodium D2a line and used to excite sodium atoms in the upper atmosphere.

Positioning an optical telescope in space eliminates the distortions and limitations that hamper that ground-based optical telescopes (see Astronomical seeing), providing higher resolution images. Optical telescopes are used to look at planets , stars , galaxies , planetary nebulae and protoplanetary disks , amongst many other things.
The ARC 3.5-meter telescope. The ARC 3.5 m (140 in) telescope is a Ritchey-Chretien reflector on an alt-azimuth mount with instruments attached at several focal points. Construction of the building began in 1985, but full operations of the telescope were delayed until November 1994 due to problems with fabricating the primary mirror. [3]
