To infinity and beyond NASA's robotic and human lunar exploration strategy gets under way at JSC by Linda Singleton The lunar landings of the Apollo missions are often considered the most significant technical achievement of humankind since the beginning of recorded history. ... More than 100 NASA employees, contractors and space enthusiasts attended the NASA Robotic and Human Lunar Exploration Strategic Roadmap Committee public meeting held recently at Space Center Houston. ...

... What's a Population . ... It varies, ecologists use the word "population" in several ways; typically a "somewhat isolated collection of individuals." ... There are two "basic models" of population growth. Exponential growth, and logistic growth. ... In logistic growth there are "density-dependent" changes in growth rate that REGULATE population growth. ... The exponential and logistic models treat all individuals in a population the same; but we know that baby's don't reproduce but adults do! ...

... Sizes of spectra The number of spectra that are `spoiled' by overlaps depends on the contrast ratio reached by the MEMS device, the area on the sky covered by an individual spectrum and on the number density of potential spoilers at a given magnitude. ... 4-- NIRSpec contrast and confusion limits 1 low resolution 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 1 hi resolution 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.2 0 20 Figure 3: Probability that spectra are contaminated at the Galactic pole as a function of the magnitude of the target galaxy. ...

ELT MASS/DIMM instrument for atmospheric turbulence measurements. ... 1.2 Principal geometry of MASSґDIMM device . ... The next chapter is a guide for alignment of the optical scheme elements ґ the op eration which is mandatory after the device assembly or while installing the device on the telescop e. Exit pupil optics tuning (MASS segmentator and DIMM mirrors), fo cusing and lateral p ositioning of the Fabry lens, checking the entrance pupil p osition are the sub jects of particular attention. ...
