Landsat and Apollo: The Forgotten Legacy Paul D. Lowman, Jr. Abstract This paper demonstrates that Landsat was fundamentally a result of the Apollo Program. The U.S. Geological Survey's EROS proposal of 1966, which eventually led to Landsat, was stimulated largely by the demonstrated utility of 1100 orbital photographs from the Gemini missions, Gemini being solely preparation for Apollo. In addition, Earth-oriented remote sensing research sponsored by NASA in the mid-1960s, primarily support for Apollo lunar missions, included studies of Earth resource applications as well. Finally, the extensive series of airborne remote sensing studies carried out by the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center was Apollo-derived in that the primary mission of

Henri Oung Date due: April 28th, 2009 Knowledge and Conspiracy Theories Date submitted: April 28th, 2009 Term paper: Moon-landing Word count: 1110 We always strive to achieve something. That achievement might be a dream or something even bigger. One of the dreams that Americans have is to actually get off the planet earth and see the outer universe. But one of the first things they wanted to accomplish is to actually land on the moon. It was first succeeded by the soviets in 1966, but the Americans did try to land a few years before that, but failed.
The leader of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was Martin Luther King Jr.. Martin Luther King Jr. would set up groups of people. They would pray, sing, and protest for equal rights. At the end of these protest there would usually be violence, for example the police would swing their bats to break up the protest. Many of the people in the protests would get arrested, hurt, or killed. Also martin Luther King Jr. would give inspiring speeches about how he wants his children to live in a world were they wouldn’t be judged or
The Selma to Montgomery marches was three marches in 1965 that marked the political and emotional peak of the American civil rights movement. They grew out of the voting rights movement in Selma, Alabama, launched by local African-Americans who formed the Dallas County Voters League (DCVL). In 1963, the DCVL and organizers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) began voter-registration work. When white resistance to Black voter registration proved intractable, the DCVL requested the assistance of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, who brought many prominent civil rights and civic leaders to support voting rights. Planning the First March With civil rights activity blocked by Judge Hare's injunction, the DCVL
don’t know yet 9. Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day because of the accomplishments made by King in his honor to end the legalization of segregation in the United States. One accomplishment by Martin Luther King was organizing desegregation protests in Birmingham, Alabama. Another accomplishment by King was mobilizing sit-ins and marches by thousands of school children. King was eventually arrested by Birmingham police officers along with thousands of children.
At that meeting Martin Luther King gave an inspiring speech that spread the boycott further among blacks. On December 8th, Martin Luther King held a meeting with bus officials and lawyers. He and the MIA appealed for the desegregation of the service, but were denied. During the boycott, blacks walked, biked, carpooled(private black drivers transported passengers) and hitchhiked to get around. Black taxi drivers offered discounts to black passengers.
What kinds of issues were present within American society in the 1960s? In this essay I will be explaining the different types of issues which arose during the 1960s in American society. I will be referring to the civil rights movement, the counter-culture revolution, division of the public opinion, the impact of students and young people, the influence of music, drugs, alcohol and freedom, and why the counter-culture revolution did not achieve what it had aimed to achieve. The civil rights movement The civil rights movement started on December 1, 1955 Rosa parks inspired the movement. She boarded a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama; she took a seat in the designated "black" rows in the back.

Although rocket pioneer R.H. Goddard and the Peenemunde rocket scientists used inertial sensors for navigation and control of missiles, a complete navigation system using inertial sensors did not emerge until the 1940s under Charles Stark Draper, considered to be “the father of inertial navigation.” C.S. Draper established the Instrumentation Laboratory at MIT as a major player in the early development of inertial navigation. In the 1960s, engineers at MIT designed the inertial navigation system (INS) for sensing and controlling rocket thrusting during trajectory changes of the Apollo spacecraft [12]. The dominant inertial sensor errors for the Moon missions were unpredictable shifts in output biases of the gyroscopes and accelerometers. These
