For example, the Giant Magellan Telescope will have seven 8. 4 meter primary mirrors, with the resolving power equivalent to a optical aperture.

The Mirror Lab is currently working on the 8. 4 meter diameter primary / tertiary mirror for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, and has started work on 2 of the 7 off-axis primary mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope.

STS-30 Atlantis ( May 4 – 8, 1989 ) was a four day mission during which the crew successfully deployed the Magellan Venus-exploration spacecraft, the first U. S. planetary science mission launched since 1978, and the first planetary probe to be deployed from the Shuttle.

His Limasawa also is not the port where Magellan and his fleet anchored from March 28 to April 4, 1521.

Launched May 4, 1989 aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, the Magellan probe was first placed into low Earth orbit, before firing its upper stage motor to send it on a trajectory toward Venus.

Cycles 4, 5 and 6 were devoted to collecting gravimetric data, for which Magellan was aerobraked to its lowest possible stable orbit, with a periapsis or closest approach of.

The mirror was manufactured at The University of Arizona's Steward Observatory Mirror Laboratory, which pioneered both the spin-casting and the stressed-lap polishing techniques which are being used for telescope mirrors that include the 6. 5 meter aperture MMT and Magellan telescopes and the two 8. 4 meter mirrors of the Large Binocular Telescope.

With support from ground-based observations done using the submillimeter bolometer cameras on the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment radio telescope ( November 29, 2009 ) and the Mayall ( Kitt Peak ) and Magellan telescopes ( December 4, 2009 ), it was determined that the patch looks black not because it is an extremely dense pocket of gas, but because it is truly empty.

In May 2007 Cap ' n Crunch's full name was revealed as Cap ' n Horatio Magellan Crunch.

In May 1993, aerobraking was used during the extended Venusian mission of the Magellan spacecraft.

Chile took possession of the Strait of Magellan on May 23, 1843.

Rear Admiral Evans commanded the Great White Fleet 16 April 1907 from Hampton Roads, Virginia in its passage from the Atlantic Ocean through the Straits of Magellan to the Pacific Ocean, where he was relieved of command in San Francisco, California 9 May 1908 because of ill health.

Other Mariner-based spacecraft, launched since Voyager, included the Magellan probe to Venus, and the Galileo probe to Jupiter.

The MGS used the data gathered from the Magellan mission to Venus to plan its aerobraking technique.

He shows her Magellan Castle orbiting around Venus and says that it is hers, although the existence of these castles is not revealed to the other Senshi characters until late in the Sailor Moon series.

He subsequently worked as a radar investigator on the Magellan mission to Venus, and with the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous mission.

Magellan arrived at Venus

Magellan arrived at Venus in mid-1990 and mapped the entire surface of Venus using specialized radar instruments.

Magellan arrived at Venus in August 1990, and mapped over 95 % of the surface of Venus.

Magellan arrived at Venus in August 1990 and radar-mapped over 95 % of the surface of Venus.

Magellan arrived at Venus in mid-1990, and mapped over 95 % of the surface of Venus.

The Venera 15 and Venera 16 followed later by the Magellan space probe mapped the surface of Venus over several years using synthetic-aperture radar.

The Magellan probe also imaged Venus in 1990 and 1994.

Magellan Castle, named after the Magellan probe, is where the princess and royal family lived on Venus and ruled over a race of Venusians prior to the events in the manga.
