摘要:
A space shuttle mission scheduled for launch on March 23, 1992, carrying a payload of largely remote‐sensing instruments, will constitute an important element of the NASA's Mission to Planet Earth and the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The mission was planned in 1983 and was earlier known as the Earth Observations Mission (EOM), subsequently becoming the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS) in 1986.The ATLAS‐1 flight is intended to be the first in a series of shuttle flights that will monitor the radiant energy output of the Sun, look for potential responses of the Earth's atmosphere to changes in this energy source, and verity global change assessments. Emphasis is on the frequent recalibration opportunities afforded by such a program, which allow transfer of calibrations to other longer‐duration orbiting observatories, such as the National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration TIROS‐N sa

摘要:
NASA's $15 billion budget request continued to draw fire at recent House and Senate hearings, as well as criticism from the General Accounting Office. Discussing space science funding, legislators seemed particularly concerned about how NASA will fund its $11 billion Earth Observing System in coming years while continuing with the rest of its space science agenda.“NASA is overcommitted relative to likely resources—in short, it is chasing too much program with too few dollars,” GAO's Mark E. Gebicke, director of NASA issues, wrote in a February 19 letter to Richard Durbin (D‐Ill.) of the House Budget Co

摘要:
The U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) has awarded a $10.8 million contract to the Texas A&M University system to establish a major new oceanography research program focusing on the Gulf of Mexico.The Texas A&M program is one of a three‐part, $16.2 million federal initiative called the Louisiana/Texas Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX), which will aid MMS in reducing risks associated with oil and gas operations on the continental shelf along the Texas and Louisiana coasts from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Rio Grand
