The shuttle was built by Rockwell International's Space Transportation Systems Division in Downey, California.

Endeavour was delivered by Rockwell International Space Transportation Systems Division in May 1991 and first launched a year later, in May 1992, on STS-49.

The standard also includes additional common elements unique to Space Systems, Launch Vehicle Systems and Automated Information Systems.

In Germany, researchers at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Space Aviation Systems have been looking into these challenges for years and have developed various hydrogen-powered arcjet engines capable of power outputs from 1 to 100 kW.

Other major satellite manufacturers include Space Systems / Loral, Orbital Sciences Corporation with the STAR Bus series, Indian Space Research Organization, Lockheed Martin ( owns the former RCA Astro Electronics / GE Astro Space business ), Northrop Grumman, Alcatel Space, now Thales Alenia Space, with the Spacebus series, and Astrium.

In 1994 the Rover Group was sold to BMW and British Aerospace Space Systems was sold to Matra Marconi Space.

Following GEC's acquisition of Marconi as part of English Electric in 1968 the Marconi brand was used for its defence businesses e. g. Marconi Space & Defence Systems ( MSDS ), Marconi Underwater Systems Ltd ( MUSL ).

The space division became more and more independent until, just before Fokker's bankruptcy in 1996, it became a fully stand-alone corporation, known successively as Fokker Space and Systems, Fokker Space, and Dutch Space.

Other divisions of the company that were profitable, continued as separate companies, like Fokker Space ( later Dutch Space ) and Fokker Control Systems.

* Sahasrara ( Crown ): Time / Space

Time Out was followed by several albums with a similar approach, including Time Further Out: Miro Reflections ( 1961 ), using more 5 / 4, 6 / 4, and 9 / 8, plus the first attempt at 7 / 4 ; Countdown: Time in Outer Space ( dedicated to John Glenn ) ( 1962 ), featuring 11 / 4 and more 7 / 4 ; Time Changes ( 1963 ), with much 3 / 4, 10 / 4 ( which was really 5 + 5 ), and 13 / 4 ; and Time In ( 1966 ).

Bowie's second album, Space Oddity, followed in November ; originally issued in the UK as David Bowie, it caused some confusion with its predecessor of the same name, and the early US release was instead titled Man of Words / Man of Music.

General relativity also predicts the existence of gravitational waves, which have since been observed indirectly ; a direct measurement is the aim of projects such as LIGO and NASA / ESA Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and various pulsar timing arrays.

Galileos attitude control system software was written in the HAL / S programming language, also used in the Space Shuttle program.

Helium use following World War II was depressed but the reserve was expanded in the 1950s to ensure a supply of liquid helium as a coolant to create oxygen / hydrogen rocket fuel ( among other uses ) during the Space Race and Cold War.

Space probes have been placed into orbit around all the five planets known to the ancients: first Mars ( Mariner 9, 1971 ), then Venus ( Venera 9, 1975 ; but landings on Venus and atmospheric probes were performed even earlier ), Jupiter ( Galileo, 1995 ), Saturn ( Cassini / Huygens, 2004 ), and most recently Mercury ( MESSENGER, March 2011 ), and have returned data about these bodies and their natural satellites.

It is intended for integration and checkout at the International Space Station ( ISS ), and would be suitable for deep-space missions from the ISS to and beyond the Moon, including Earth / Moon L1, Sun / Earth L2, near-Earth asteroidal, and Mars orbital destinations.

The first call on the original Globalstar system was placed on November 1, 1998, from Qualcomm chairman Irwin Jacobs in San Diego to Loral Space & Communications CEO and chairman Bernard Schwartz in New York.

Other members include Laurene Powell Jobs-President of the Board, College Track, Zachary Karabell-President, River Twice Research, Kati Marton-Author & Journalist, Bernard L. Schwartz-Retired Chairman and CEO, Loral Space & Communications Ltd.

Space Systems / Loral ( SS / L ), of Palo Alto, California, is the wholly owned manufacturing subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications.

SS / L was acquired in 1990 for $ 715 million by Loral Corp. from Ford Motor Company as the Space Systems Division of Ford Aerospace.
