Gemini Ten: Photography on the Climb to Agena Eight

Transcription

On July nineteenth, nineteen sixty-six, Gemini Ten was climbing toward Agena Eight. The day before, Michael Collins and John Young had docked with Agena Ten. A trajectory correction had left them with only half their planned fuel at docking, and they repeatedly fired Agena Ten’s engine to match orbits with Agena Eight. Collins’s first planned spacewalk was a stand-up EVA: he remained at the open hatch rather than moving away from the spacecraft. It lasted forty-nine minutes. With a seventy-millimetre camera, he took twenty-two ultraviolet images of the southern Milky Way. As the docked spacecraft entered daylight, he also photographed a coloured plate to test how accurately film recorded colour in space. For the planned second EVA, Collins put on the ELSS chestpack and unstowed an umbilical, a line carrying oxygen, communications, and nitrogen. The nitrogen was stored under pressure in the adapter section and would power the hand-held maneuvering unit, a small device for moving an astronaut with gas thrust. Fuel remained scarce. The crew rendezvoused with Agena Eight about ninety minutes before the planned EVA, shaping the timing of the next spacewalk around the mission’s limited fuel.

The Marshall study, and what the source does not establish

After November 1964, budget pressure and NASA’s choice to emphasize crewed Earth-orbit missions sharply reduced piloted Mars-study activity. A Marshall Space Flight Center team still examined a Saturn-and-Apollo-based Mars flyby, but it remained a study concept, not a funded direct-landing program or a flown mission.[1][2][3]

PeriodReported Mars-study activity
17 months before November 196429 piloted planetary mission studies, costing $3.5 million.[4]
November 1964 through May 1966Four contracted studies, costing $465,000.[5]

The change accompanied a policy shift: NASA assigned low priority to developing a new rocket after Saturn and proposed concentrating post-Apollo crewed flight on Earth orbit, using Apollo-developed technology. The later study count and spending show how markedly Mars-related study work contracted during that period.[6][7]

The Marshall study, and what the source does not establish

Separately from the general count of contracted studies, a Marshall team led by Ruppe examined a crewed Mars flyby using Saturn launch vehicles and Apollo hardware. Its February 1965 report judged such flybys technically feasible in the mid-to-late 1970s, using a modified Apollo command and service module, a pressurized hangar, and automated probes.[8]

The source mentions four later studies but does not identify them as contractor studies or describe their architectures. It therefore does not provide enough detail to compare contractor designs with Marshall’s concept. Nor does the feasibility assessment establish an approved, funded direct-landing effort or a mission that flew: it documents a study, not a flight program.[9][10]

The Lake That Became a Cornfield

Transcription

Lake Cirknitz, in Illyria, appears in Jane Loudon’s 1848 account as both lake and field. She reports that in early June its water disappears through fissures. Peasants then sow and reap corn on the exposed basin, carrying away the crop around the end of September. Around mid-October, Loudon says, water surges back through openings in the ground. At other times, she writes, the lake grows deep enough to float a vessel of considerable size. This is Loudon’s historical report: one basin described first as farmland, then as water deep enough for a vessel.

  1. A builder in a drop of water.

    This tiny rotifer makes the pieces of its own home.

  2. The current brings the material.

    Beating cilia sweep tiny particles toward its head.

  3. A pellet takes shape.

    A small cup near the head gathers and shapes the material.

  4. One more piece of the wall.

    The rotifer bends and adds the pellet to its tube.

  5. A home, built pellet by pellet.

    The finished tube shelters a living animal almost too small to see.
