NRL-South is located at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and specializes in oceanography, marine geology, geophysics, geoacoustics, ...
After determining that the system could be adapted in time to meet NASA's schedule requirements, NRL was granted authority to proceed with the Interim Control Module (ICM). From its inception ICM was a contingency option for attitude control and reboost of the ISS that would allow NASA to preserve the on-orbit construction schedule in case of ...
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) is a future mission by NASA to study the unexplored region from the middle of the solar corona out to 1 AU from the Sun. PUNCH will consist of a constellation of four microsatellites that through continuous 3D deep-field imaging, will observe the corona and heliosphere as elements of a ...
The NRL proposal was accepted and turned into the basis of the Minitrack stations. From a NASA history document: [1] In early April 1955, Milton Rosen, John Mengel, and Roger Easton assembled informally at NRL and generated a document
The director was John P. Hagen (1908–1990), an astronomer who in 1958 would become the assistant director of space flight development with the formation of NASA. [8] After a delay due to the NRL changing the shape of the satellite from a conical shape, [9] the initial 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) spherical Vanguard satellites were built at the NRL, and ...
NRL stands for the US Naval Research Laboratory. MSIS [ 3 ] stands for mass spectrometer and incoherent scatter radar, the two primary data sources for development of earlier versions of the model. E indicates that the model extends from the ground through exosphere and 00 is the year of release.
Many improvements were made to provide a more compact and efficient monopulse antenna feed and lobe comparison waveguide circuitry, such that monopulse tracking radar became the generally accepted tracking radar system for military and civilian agencies, such as NASA and the FAA. The NRL's work on monopulse radars eventually led to the AN/FPS ...
This is a display model of a GRAB satellite at the National Cryptologic Museum.. Galactic Radiation and Background (GRAB) was the first successful United States orbital surveillance program, comprising a series of five Naval Research Laboratory electronic surveillance and solar astronomy satellites, launched from 1960 to 1962.
