Hyperbolicity in a class of one-dimensional maps

In this paper we provide a direct proof of hyperbolicity for a class of onedimensional maps on the unit interval. The maps studied are degenerate forms of the standard quadratic map on the interval. These maps are important in understanding the Newhouse theory of infinitely many sinks due to homoclinic tangencies in two dimensions

Debris/ice/TPS assessment and integrated photographic analysis for Shuttle Mission STS-46

A Debris/Ice/TPS assessment and integrated photographic analysis was conducted for Shuttle Mission STS-46. Debris inspections of the flight elements and launch pad were performed before and after launch. Ice/frost conditions on the External Tank were assessed by the use of computer programs, nomographs, and infrared scanner data during cryogenic loading of the vehicle followed by on-pad visual inspection. High speed photography was analyzed after launch to identify ice/debris sources and evaluate potential vehicle damage and/or in-flight anomalies. This report documents the debris/ice/TPS conditions and integrated photographic analysis of Shuttle Mission STS-46, and the resulting effect on the Space Shuttle Program
