Remote sensing technology and data from instrumented satellites and high altitude aircraft are proposed for mapping land use on a current national basis, for monitoring changes and trends, and for creating statistical models which can be manipulated to demonstrate the probable effects of proposed land use and of environmental changes over large areas. Both Apollo spacecraft and aircraft photography were used; the spacecraft pictures delineated the cropland and urban boundaries more clearly. A computer model is also proposed for statistical analysis and for printing out updated maps automatically; this model will include a data bank which can be updated rapidly with changes detected by the computer.
Flammability testing of components in the design of Apollo spacecraft is discussed. The purpose of component flammability testing was to determine the flammability characteristics of a variety of different sizes, shapes, and configurations of nonmetallic materials of similar or different types that make up a functional assembly, subsystem, or system in a spacecraft. The test criteria and requirements for the nonmetallic materials are presented.
The development of a nonflammable elastomer for use in Apollo spacecraft is discussed. The requirements for the material to be foamed, extruded, compression molded, and cast into various configurations are examined. A fluorine-based hydrocarbon is considered a promising candidate. An acceptable material known as Fluorel is examined. Procedures for applying fluorel to a flood light glare shield are presented. The process for preparing 20 percent homogenized Fluorel is analyzed.
