Laboratory Completes Laser Experiment At White Sands Air Force Research Laboratory, Office of Public Affairs 3550 Aberdeen BASE, NM A threemonth laser experiment at White Sands Missile Range has been http://www.de.afrl.af.mil/News/1999/99-63.html
Extractions: PHONE: (505) 846-1911 The experiment showed how a beam-control system could transmit a laser beam over a long, nearly horizontal path to a moving target. The system also corrected for the distorting effects of optical turbulence in the atmosphere. If unchecked, optical turbulence could limit the range and effectiveness of a laser. Conducted by the Directed Energy Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory, this "Dynamic Compensation Experiment" took place at the directorate’s North Oscura Peak site in the northern portion of the U.S. Army’s White Sands complex. According to Lt. Col. Todd Steiner, the directorate’s program manager for Airborne Laser Advanced Concepts Testbed, "The Dynamic Compensation Experiment, which was designed to replicate the functionality of the beam control system on the Airborne Laser, was an overwhelming success. We were able to show a factor of between 5 and 20 improvement between the uncompensated and compensated laser spots on the target board. This unprecedented performance in strong turbulence is one of the greatest Air Force Research Laboratory achievements of the last decade and will pave the way for future directed energy applications."

Extractions: QUESTIONS? TRINITY SITE, A HALF-CENTURY AFTER THE WORLD'S FIRST ATOMIC BOMB Those men standing a few miles from the blast site truly must have wondered what they had unleashed when they saw the awesome result of nuclear chain reaction rise up from the desert floor in front of them! The scientists who assembled "that first Atomic Bomb in a ranch house a couple of miles to the south had just ushered in the Nuclear Era. The world would never be the same. "Ground Zero," Trinity Site, is deceptive in its solitude and remoteness. Except on two days a year, the 1st weekend in April and the 1st weekend in October, when the site is opened to the public. You can actually stand on the exact point where the bomb was detonated. If you came by this way without the big fence that surrounds the place, and the obelisk marking the site, if it was just desert, you'd never suspect an Atomic Bomb was exploded here. There is a slight indentation in the ground, the grass is stunted and brown if it grows at all, but that's about it. We stayed at the Sands Motel on the south end of Carrizozo. Not a pretentious place by any description, but clean and comfortable and the only motel I know where they have direct TV in the rooms and you can click through a dozen or so movie channels.

Extractions: The White Sands Missile Range Museum has an interesting mystery on its hands. So far regular sleuthing has failed to come up with an answer and it is time to see if anyone can help solve it. The question is when did entertainer Jack Benny and movie actress and singer Ann Blyth visit White Sands? One humorous photo shows Benny riding cowboy-style on a WAC Corporal rocket. A saddle is attached to the rocket and Benny is riding it and waving to the camera. A smoke grenade was placed in the tail of the rocket for effect and smoke is clearly coming from the rocket's motor as if he is getting ready to take off. Painted on the rocket is "White Sands Proving Ground" which means the photo was taken before the name was changed in 1958. Also in the photo is Ann Blyth looking on.
Extractions: A government /industry team at Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., added flight computers, electronics, hydraulics, landing gear and other equipment needed to ready the X-34 for unpowered flights at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. With the upgrades comes a new designation. The non-flying X-34 A-1 will now become the A-1A. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Dulles, Va., built the A-1, as a structural test article for ground vibration and captive flights while attached to its L-1011 carrier plane. NASA decided in mid-1999 to upgrade the A-1 into a flight vehicle to augment two other flying X-34s designated A-2 and A-3 now under construction at Orbital's Dulles facility. "The A-1A is identical to the other flight vehicles except that it lacks the thermal protection system and propulsion system required for high speed, high-altitude flight," said Jeff Sexton, flight-testing and operations project manager for the Pathfinder Program at the Marshall Center, which includes X-34. "But we've added all the flight mechanisms - avionics and wiring, hydraulics, control surfaces, landing gear mechanism and flight software - needed for unpowered flight testing."

Extractions: Triniyt Site, whee the worlds' first bomb was exploded in 1945, is open to the pubic twice a year on the first Saturday in April and October. Trinity is located on the northern end of the 3.200-squar-mile White Sands Missile Range, M.M., between the towns of Carrizozo and Socorro, N.M. There are two ways of entering the restricted missile range on tour days. Visitors can enter through the range's Stallion Range Center which if five miles south of Highway 380. The turnoff is 12 miles east of San Antonio, N.M., and 53 miles west of Carrizozo, N.M. The Stallion gate will be open 8a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors arriving at the gate between those hours wil receive handouts and will be allowed to drive unescorted the 17 miles to Trinity Site. The road is paved and marked. The other way of entering the missile range is by travelling with a caravan sponsored by the Alamogordo (N.M.) Chamber of Commerce. The caravan forms at the Otero County Fairgrounds in Alamogordo and leaves at 8 a.m. Visitors entering this way will travel as an escorted group with military police to and from Trinity Site. The drive is 170 miles round trip. There are no service station facilities on the missile range. The caravan is scheduled to leave Trinity Site at 12:30 p.m. for the return to Alamogordo. The caravan may leave later if there is a large number of vehicles in the returning caravan. Included on the Trinity Site tour is Ground Zero where the atomic bomb was placed on a 100-foot steel tower and exploded on July 16, 1945. A small monument now marks the spot. Visitors also see the McDonald ranch house where the world's first plutonium core for a bomb was assembled. The missile range provides historical photographs and a Fat Man bomb casing for display. There are no ceremonies or speakers.

Extractions: Air Armament Center Public Affairs EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. (AFMCNS) Test teams successfully put Eglins Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile imaging infrared target seeker system through its paces Jan. 19, clearing another major hurdle toward it entering the nations precision-guided munitions arsenol. During a flight test held at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., Maj. Wayne Opella, an F-16 pilot with Eglins 46th Test Wing, launched the JASSM about 15,000 feet up, cruising at roughly 500 mph. The weapon separated cleanly from the aircraft, deployed its wings and tail section, and ignited its engine at the proper altitude to begin a 70-mile dash toward the target array on the desert floor. During the flight, the cruise missiles GPS navigation system functioned flawlessly, recognizing three navigation way points and completed necessary maneuvers to keep it on the pre-programmed mission attack plan, said Dale Bridges, Eglins JASSM Systems Program Office technical director. As the JASSM approached its target, it performed a pitch-over maneuver and dived on the target at a 70-degree impact angle. The state-of-the-art infrared imaging seeker recognized the target scene and guided the weapon to a hit, according to Bridges.
