The Cosmological Evolution of Radio Sources with CENSORS

The CENSORS survey, selected from the NVSS, has been followed up using EIS, K-band imaging and spectroscopic observations to produce a radio sample capable of probing the source density in the regime: z greater than 2.5. With a current spectroscopic completeness of 62%, CENSORS has been used in direct modeling of RLF evolution and in V/V(sub max) tests. There is evidence for a shallow decline in number density of source in the luminosity range 10(sup 26) - 10(sup 27)WHz(sup -1) at 1.4GHz.

Test stand 116 at the Marshall Space Flight Center

A discussion of propulsion component testing in general and the capabilities of Test Stand 116 at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in particular will serve to educate the aerospace community concerning this national resource. Historical significance, facility systems and capabilities, and day-to-day test operations are the focus of this discussion.
