Still, the huge sailer poses a problem. The sail must be carried aloft furled (folded, it will fit into a package of only one cubic meter) and the framework assembled far beyond the atmosphere. Luckily, NASA is readying a suitable ferry: the space shuttle. Capable of carrying the sail and framework in its large equipment bay, the shuttle should be in regular use by the proposed launch date for the sailing ship: January...
However, a former manager of the refrigerator agency, Edward N. Bothfeld '76-4, said that a new counter-refrigerator with five cubic feet of space, comparable to many HSA models, costs about...
...business is running ahead of the company's own gloomy projections. It now has 151 orders v. 99 a year ago, most of them from domestic airlines. The Boeing 747 plant at Everett, Wash., the world's largest building in terms of capacity (200 million cubic feet), is busier now than at any time since the early 1970s when the 747 jumbo was new and the competitive rush to put it into service was at its peak. McDonnell Douglas expects to deliver 18 jumbo DC-10s next year, about the same as this year, plus nearly 40 smaller...
...morning of the 26th, Steve Dasovich, head of operations at the Buffalo mine, sent bulldozers to relieve pressure on the dam. It was too late for that, though. When they got to the dam a little before 7 a.m., it was gone. And 21 million cubic feet of water and God knows how many tons of mud and slag and crap were headed for the 16 little communities nestled along Buffalo Creek. Pretty soon, they were gone too. The flood swept down the narrow valley, 40 feet high, picking up automobiles and mobile homes and even houses. Even people...
...life forms that Viking's ingenious biology laboratory is designed to seek out. Eight days after the landing-an interval during which Viking will monitor Martian weather and seismology and shoot the mission's first color pictures-the ingeniously conceived and packaged laboratory (which occupies about a cubic foot of space) will begin operating. The surface sampler, a power-shovel-like bucket, will be extended from Viking by a boom that can reach 10 ft. It will scoop up a sample of Martian soil, which will then be distributed to three separate chambers of the laboratory. Using nutrients...
