Supplement to the 1975 report on active and planned spacecraft and experiments

A listing and brief description of spacecraft and experiments designed to update the January 1975 report on active and planned spacecraft and experiments to March 31, 1975 was presented. The information is given in two sections. In the first, spacecraft and experiments that have become known to NSSDC since the original report or that have changed significantly are described. In the second, an alphabetical listing is given for all spacecraft and experiments described in the first section and in the original report. It also updates status of operation and launch dates to March 31, 1975.

The 1975 report on active and planned spacecraft and experiments

Information is presented on current and planned spacecraft activity for various disciplines: astronomy, earth sciences, meteorology, planetary sciences, aeronomy, solar physics, and life sciences. For active orbiting spacecraft, the epoch date, orbit type, orbit period, apoasis, periapsis, and inclination are given along with the spacecraft weight, launch date, launch site, launch vehicle, and sponsoring agency. For each planned orbiting spacecraft, the orbit parameters, planned launch date, launch site, launch vehicle, spacecraft weight, and sponsoring agency are given.

Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics Institute, 24th, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Ore., June 12-14, 1974, Proceedings

Recent theoretical and experimental studies in heat transfer and fluid mechanics, including some environmental protection investigations, are presented in a number of papers. Some of the topics covered include condensation heat transfer, a model of turbulent momentum and heat transfer at points of separation and reattachment, an explicit scheme for calculations of confined turbulent flows with heat transfer, heat transfer effects on a delta wing in subsonic flow, fluid mechanics of ocean outfalls, thermal plumes from industrial cooling water, a photochemical air pollution model for the Los Angeles air basin, and a turbulence model of diurnal variations in the planetary boundary layer. Individual items are announced in this issue.
