A Fire Upon the Deep is a science fiction novel by American writer Vernor Vinge, a space opera involving superhuman intelligences, aliens, variable physics, space battles, love, betrayal, genocide, and a conversation medium resembling Usenet.

He is a member of a fictional shapeshifting race called Changelings and serves as the head of security for the space station Deep Space Nine on which the show is set.

Odo later worked for the Cardassians during the Occupation of Bajor aboard the orbiting Terok Nor ore-processing space station, and later for the Bajorans / Federation aboard Deep Space Nine ( the Federation name for Terok Nor ), in both cases as chief of security.

Variations on this are space station series, notably Babylon 5 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, based on an open-port paradigm in which trouble comes in through the airlocks.

However, the Doctor's TARDIS has been seen to be able to fly through physical space, first in " Fury from the Deep " ( 1968 ) and at repeated times throughout the revived series, most notably in " The Runaway Bride " ( 2006 ), in which the TARDIS is shown launching into space ( most previous incidents show the TARDIS flying only after it has dematerialised from a location ).

The first AI in space ( Deep Space 1 ) was developed from Code TI, as is the MAPGEN software that daily plans the activities for the Mars Exploration Rovers, the same core reasoner is used for Ensemble to operate Phoenix Lander, and the planning system for the International Space Station's Solar Arrays.

These events included numerous appearances and performances by surviving members of the original Comets, including the band's induction into the Rock Walk hall of fame, a performance at the Viper Room club on the Sunset Strip, and a special performance for employees of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena to celebrate the success of the Deep Impact space probe.

Brockman's harangue about the Corvair spacecraft being taken over by a master race of giant space ants in " Deep Space Homer ", which generated the meme, is considered to be one of the show's classic moments.

Mirkin has been cited as introducing a more surreal element to the show's humor, as shown by his sole writing credit for the show, " Deep Space Homer ", which sees Homer Simpson go to space as part of a NASA program to restore interest in space exploration.

* The Deep Impact space probe

" Various Bajoran characters were included in several of the Star Trek series, including Ro Laren ( played by Michelle Forbes ) in The Next Generation as well as a number of others in Deep Space Nine, which was set on a space station near to Bajor, and which featured Bajoran characters such as Kira Nerys ( Nana Visitor ) and Winn Adami ( Louise Fletcher ).

Eventually Sisko reluctantly accepted a posting as commander of Deep Space Nine orbiting the planet Bajor, where he eventually married a space freighter captain, Kasidy Yates.

Bashir is the chief medical officer of space station Deep Space Nine and the USS Defiant.

The mostly uncharted space beyond the nearby Periphery states is known as the Deep Periphery and contains numerous pirate havens and lost Star League colonies.

The Federation is at first at a disadvantage having underestimated Matan's forces ; however, they are able to repel an offensive against Starbase 12 and destroy Litvok Nor, a Cardassian space station identical to Deep Space 9, and rescue Data.

The primary setting of much of the series is aboard the fictional Starfleet controlled space station Deep Space Nine, located above the planet Bajor.

In " Emissary ", the pilot episode, the United Federation of Planets dispatches Commander Benjamin Sisko to take command of the space station Deep Space Nine.

In addition, the AVGR provides programmatic support for various proposed and ongoing planetary missions ( e. g. Stardust, Deep Impact ).

Several works of Star Trek spin-off fiction expand on Section 31's operations ; Pocket Books published a four-part series profiling connections between Section 31's operations and the missions of James T. Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, and the crews of Deep Space Nine and the USS Voyager.

Resupply missions are collectively termed Operation Deep Freeze.

The Deep Space Network, or DSN, is a world-wide network of large antennas and communication facilities that supports interplanetary spacecraft missions.

Deep space missions are visible for long periods of time from a large portion of the Earth's surface, and so require few stations ( the DSN has only three main sites ).

Shortly after the transfer NASA established the concept of the Deep Space Network as a separately managed and operated communications system that would accommodate all deep space missions, thereby avoiding the need for each flight project to acquire and operate its own specialized space communications network.

Although normally tasked with tracking unmanned spacecraft, the Deep Space Network ( DSN ) also contributed to the communication and tracking of Apollo missions to the Moon, although primary responsibility was held by the Manned Space Flight Network.

Numerous scripts are available ; these include simple tours, reconstructions of complex space missions such as Cassini – Huygens and Deep Impact, and scripts showing useful information, like size comparisons, or particular events such as multiple simultaneous eclipses of Jupiter's moons or the evolution of a star.

Several such missions have been launched, including penetrators on the two Phobos probe landers targeted for Mars ' moon Phobos and ones for Mars itself on Mars 96 and Deep Space 2, but so far none have succeeded.

It was a series of two new missions for the existing Deep Impact probe following its success at Tempel 1:

Another network, the Deep Space Network ( DSN ), interacted with manned craft higher than 10, 000 miles from Earth, such as the Apollo missions, in addition to its primary mission of data collection from deep space probes.

Alongside the single missions, Aces of the Deep includes a single player Career Mode where the player can choose which year of the war he wants to start his career, up until the end of the war.

She was a co-investigator on the Deep Impact mission and current co-investigator on the NASA Discovery missions EPOXI and Stardust-NExT.

Deep Diver carried out many scientific missions in 1967 and 1968, including a 430-foot lockout dive in 1967 ( at the same location as the 1964 Sténuit-Lindbergh dive ) and a 700-foot lockout dive near Great Stirrup Cay in 1968.

DSVs are commonly divided into two types: research DSVs, which are used for exploration and surveying, and DSRVs ( Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle ), which can be used for rescuing the crew of a sunken submarine, clandestine ( espionage ) missions ( primarily installing wiretaps on undersea cables ), or both.

Alvin, owned by the Office of Naval Research ( ONR ) is operated under agreement by the National Deep Submergence Facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ( WHOI ), where it conducts science oriented missions funded by the National Science Foundation ( NSF ), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ) and ONR.

The spacecraft in the New Millennium Program were originally named " Deep Space " ( for missions demonstrating technology for planetary missions ) and " Earth Observing " ( for missions demonstrating technology for Earth orbiting missions ).

One of Yomiko's partners at the British Library, Nancy Makuhari, codename " Miss Deep " is a somewhat mischievous, sultry agent who quickly grows close to Yomiko as the two embark in a number of missions for the library as teammates.

Operation Deep Freeze ( OpDFrz or ODF ) is the codename for a series of United States missions to Antarctica, beginning with " Operation Deep Freeze I " in 1955 – 56, followed by " Operation Deep Freeze II ", " Operation Deep Freeze III ", and so on.
