NASA ANNOUNCES RESEARCH GRANTS IN MICROGRAVITY COMBUSTION SCIENCE

NASA has selected 49 researchers to receive grants totaling approximately $20,000,000 to conduct microgravity combustion research. Forty one of the grants are to conduct ground-based research, while the remaining eight are flight definition efforts. Eighteen of these grants are for continuation of work currently being funded by NASA, but the majority (31) represent new research efforts.

The investigators will have NASA's microgravity research facilities such as drop-tubes, drop-towers, aircraft flying parabolic trajectories, and sounding rockets at their disposal, with the flight-definition investigators working toward experiments on a space-flight test bed. Sponsored by NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Science and Applications, this research offers investigators the opportunity to take advantage of a low-gravity environment to improve understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes associated with combustion

NASA received 155 proposals in response to its research announcement in this research area. These proposals were all peer-reviewed by scientific and technical experts from academia, government, and industry. In addition, those proposals selected for flight definition were reviewed in terms of engineering feasibility by a team from the Lewis Research Center. A list of awardees (by state), their institutions, and research titles follows:

Aerospace and Defense Services

We have supported DOD customers since 1950 and NASA since the mid-1960s. Our DOD customers include the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force. Today, we have more than 7,800 personnel contributing to vital defense and aerospace programs across the U.S. and Australia. Our support to defense and aerospace customers align into four service categories: Test and Evaluation Engineering, Operations, and Maintenance, Scientific, Engineering, and Technical Services, Design/Build and Operate Test Facilities, and Enterprise Information Services (EIS).

Space Center gunman kills hostage, self

Authorities reported that on March 16, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. sent an e-mail to Phillips about his work performance. On March 18, Phillips purchased a .38-caliber and 20 rounds of ammunition. A copy of the e-mail was found in Phillips' lunch bag on the day of the shootings.

U.S. Navy "Blue Angels" jet crashes: CNN

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A jet fighter flown by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels demonstration team crashed on Saturday in South Carolina and a number of houses were on fire, CNN said.

Witness Scott Houston told CNN in a telephone interview that he saw six Blue Angels jets flying low behind a grove of trees at the end of an airshow in Beaufort, South Carolina and only five emerged.

A cloud of smoke was seen rising from the area.
