Orbiter emergency crew escape system

Two conventional ejection seats were incorporated into the first two orbiter vehicles to provide the crew with emergency ejection capability during the flight test programs. To avoid extensive development and test costs, existing ejection seats were selected and minimum modifications were made to accommodate the orbiter application. The new components and modifications were qualified at the component level, and a minimum sled test program was conducted to verify the orbiter installation and validate the six degree-of-freedom analysis. The system performance was certified and the orbital flight test capability was established by analysis

How to Make Out in Graduate Sociology: One Observer's View

The establishment of new graduate sociology programs and the rapid expansion of such programs in general have created a deficit of peer socialization as to the latent, unwritten "requirements" of successfully attaining the Ph.D. The present paper seeks partially to correct this deficit through explicating a number of existing but unwritten requirements of success in graduate sociology. The explication focuses upon six informal aspects of the graduate experience that affect student success and it'makes recommendations on how to manage each aspect: 1) being conscious that one should early decide his personal "data style" and substantive interests; 2) performing early a sizing up of the faculty in terms of their congruence with one and in terms of their national repute as well as developing relations with congruent faculty; 3) knowing the factors professors employ in sizing up students; 4) realizing that accomplished papers are the key to graduate success, and knowing how to manage one's papers; 5) recognizing the relative unimportance of formal examinations; and 6) knowing how to choose and manage one's doctoral thesis topic and committee.http://web.ku.edu/~starjrn
