    This thesis was designed to determine the importance of military recreation programs in improving the quality of life of United States service men and women. The study utilized a survey conducted on Fort Campbell, Kentucky, in the Spring of 1995. The results were analyzed individually and as a group. The findings were that military recreation programs play an important role in the quality of life of United States service men and women and their families. These findings were supported by the review of related literature and results from the survey which showed that 70% of the respondent\u27s Agreed or Strongly Agreed that military recreation programs play a significant role in quality of life in the military. The findings also indicated that those persons who Strongly Agreed that military recreation programs play a significant role in quality of life in the military participate in an average of 6.2 programs while those who Disagreed participate in an average of 3.5 programs. The investigator also discovered that respondents Definitely planning to make a career of the military participated in an average of 6.28 programs each, while those respondents Definitely Not planning to make a career of the military participated in 5.1 programs each

    The StarLight Space Interferometer

    Two papers describe the StarLight space interferometer a Michelson interferometer that would be implemented by two spacecraft flying in formation. The StarLight formation flying interferometer project has been testing and demonstrating engineering concepts for a new generation of space interferometers that would be employed in a search for extrasolar planets and in astrophysical investigations. As described in the papers, the original StarLight concept called for three spacecraft, and the main innovation embodied is a modification that makes it possible to reduce complexity by eliminating the third spacecraft. The main features of the modification are (1) introduction of an optical delay line on one spacecraft and (2) controlling the flying formation such that the two spacecraft are located at two points along a specified parabola so as to define the required baseline of specified length (which could be varied up to 125 m) perpendicular to the axis of the parabola. One of the papers presents a detailed description of the optical layout and discusses computational modeling of the performance; the other paper presents an overview of the requirements for operation and design, the overall architecture, and subsystems
