[1] [2] MET was formerly called Ground Elapsed Time (GET) prior to the Space Shuttle. [3] The International Space Station (ISS) does not use an MET clock since it is a "permanent" and international mission. The ISS observes Greenwich Mean Time (UTC/GMT). The shuttles also had UTC clocks so that the astronauts could easily figure out what the ...
The erector at Pad 19 is lowered in preparation for the launch of Gemini 5. The launch went perfectly except for a few seconds of pogo oscillation (axial vibration of the rocket). This was measured at +0.38 g (3.7 m/s 2) during first stage flight, exceeding the permitted +0.25 g (2.5 m/s 2) for a total of about 13 seconds. Conrad and Cooper ...

USSR 1 July 1982 Trans-Neptunian region: Pioneer 10: First to travel past the orbit of Neptune, the furthest major planet from the Sun. USA 13 June 1983 Venus: Vega 1: First helium balloon atmospheric ...
The second diagram showed the conjugate hyperbola to calibrate space, where a similar stretching leaves the impression of FitzGerald contraction. In 1914 Ludwik Silberstein [9] included a diagram of "Minkowski's representation of the Lorentz transformation". This diagram included the unit hyperbola, its conjugate, and a pair of conjugate diameters.
Some 1980s 8-bit Commodore computers, such as the PET / VIC-20 / C64, had a jiffy of 1/60 second, which was not dependent on the mains AC or video vertical refresh rate. [9] A timer in the computer creates the 60 Hz rate, causing an interrupt service routine to be executed every 1/60 second, incrementing a 24-bit jiffy counter, scanning the ...
Terence is an official at the starting line, while Stella is a participant. At time t = t ′ = 0, Stella's spaceship accelerates instantaneously to a speed of 0.5 c. The distance from Earth to Mars is 300 light-seconds (about 90.0 × 10 6 km). Terence observes Stella crossing the finish-line clock at t = 600.00 s.
Chris Kooluris says he wants to be surrounded by things he loves -- and he isn't talking family, friends, or a significant other. Chris Kooluris, 37, grew up playing iconic video games in their ...
Escape speed at a distance d from the center of a spherically symmetric primary body (such as a star or a planet) with mass M is given by the formula [2] [3] = = where: G is the universal gravitational constant (G ≈ 6.67 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2 [4])
