In 1989, the European Space Agency's Hipparcos satellite took astrometry into orbit, where it could be less affected by mechanical forces of the Earth and optical distortions from its atmosphere.

NASA's planned Space Interferometry Mission ( SIM PlanetQuest ) ( now cancelled ) was to utilize astrometric techniques to detect terrestrial planets orbiting 200 or so of the nearest solar-type stars, and the European Space Agency's GAIA ( due to launch in 2012 ), which will be applying astrometric techniques in its stellar census.

Recent observations by the European Space Agency's INTEGRAL satellite may explain the origin of a giant cloud of antimatter surrounding the galactic center.

* In May 2005, the European Space Agency proposed research in space to achieve femto-kelvin temperatures.

The facilities at the centre, initially labelled ESDAC ( European Space Data Acquisition Centre ), were essentially a large mainframe computer or computers, which was made available both to its in-house staff and to visiting scientists and fellows who wished to use them to analyse and study the recovered data.

ESDAC was later renamed ESOC, the European Space Operations Centre.

The president visited several European air bases to thank the troops ( not shown ) for their support of NATO Operations Allied Force and Shining Hope, 1999.

Used to great effect in anti-aircraft projectiles, proximity fuses were fielded in both the European and Pacific Theaters of Operations ; they were particularly useful against V-1 flying bombs and kamikaze planes.

Casablanca was the site of a large American air base, which was the staging area for all American aircraft for the European Theater of Operations during World War II.

On June 23, 1942, he returned to London as Commanding General, European Theater of Operations ( ETOUSA ), based in London, and replaced Chaney.

In the European Theater of Operations napalm was used by American forces in the siege of La Rochelle in April 1945 against German soldiers ( and inadvertently French civilians in Royan )-about two weeks before the end of the war.

* July 4 – WWII in the European Theater of Operations:

In August 1944, NCDUs from Utah Beach participated in the landings in southern France, the last amphibious operation in the European Theater of Operations.

In World War II, he commanded corps and armies in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations.

Only the Secretary of Defense ( or the President ) can authorize the transfer of operational control of forces between the three Military Departments ( Departments of the Army, Navy & Air Force ) and the currently nine Combatant Commands ( Africa Command, Central Command, European Command, Northern Command, Pacific Command, Southern Command, Special Operations Command, Strategic Command, Transportation Command ), and between the Combatant Commands.

The European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) of the European Space Agency is located in Darmstadt.

Following the 2008 revision of the EU Regulation that governs European political parties allowing the creation of European foundations affiliated to Europarties, the EFA established in September 2007 its official foundation / think tank, the Centre Maurits Coppieters ( CMC ).

The Independence Party and Centre Party were against accession to the EU, but only the Independence Party still wants Estonia to withdraw from the European Union.

Centre Party and Socialist Left Party are also against the current membership in the European Economic Community.

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ( ECMWF ) is an independent intergovernmental organisation supported by 19 European Member States and 15 Co-operating States.

The craft was controlled from the European Space Agency ESOC facilities in Darmstadt ( then West Germany ) initially in Geostationary Transfer Orbit ( GTO ) then in the Near Earth Phase ( NEP ) before the longer Cruise Phase through to the encounter.

Founded in 1978 by a small group of engineers at the European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) in Darmstadt, Germany.

* European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) responsible for ESAs satellites and space probes.

The European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) in Darmstadt reported that the contact was made at 20: 25 UTC on 22 November 2011 after some modifications had been made to the 15 m dish facility in Perth to improve its chances of getting a signal.

CryoSat is operated from the European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) in Darmstadt, Germany.

The European Space Operations Centre ( ESOC ) operates a number of ground-based space-tracking stations for the European Space Agency ( ESA ) known as the European Space Tracking ( ESTRACK ) network.

Even so astute a commentator as Harold Clurman of The Nation has said that `` Waiting For Godot '' is `` the concentrate of the contemporary European mood of despair ''.

And it is clearly argued by Lord Percy of Newcastle, in his remarkable long essay, The Heresy Of Democracy, and in a more general way by Voegelin, in his New Science Of Politics, that this same Rousseauan idea, descending through European democracy, is the source of Marx's theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat.

As Sandburg said at the time: `` It is as ancient as the medieval European ballads brought to the Appalachian Mountains, it is as modern as skyscrapers, the Volstead Act, and the latest oil well gusher ''.

At some cities, this pick-up and delivery service is without additional charge, and, if you are budget-wise, when you are planning your itinerary, you will take advantage of these free delivery and collection stations in major cities within the larger European countries.

It is well to bear in mind that gasoline will cost from $.80 to $.90 for the equivalent of a United States gallon and while you might prefer a familiar Ford, Chevrolet or even a Cadillac, which are available in some countries, it is probably wiser to choose the smaller European makes which average thirty, thirty-five and even forty miles to the gallon.

Rates for American cars are somewhat higher, ranging from about $8.00 a day up to $14.00 a day for a Chevrolet Convertible, but the rate per kilometer driven is roughly the same as for the larger European models.

Since most European cars average more miles per gallon of gasoline than American cars, it naturally follows that the cost per kilometer for these models will be less, but the greater seating capacity of the large American cars will equalize this, provided your group is sufficiently large to fill a 7-passenger limousine.

Bumblebees can thus suffer severely from the onslaughts of Psithyrus, the `` cuckoo-bumblebee '' as it is called in some European countries.

The scheme, in theory, is an ingenious adaptation of European registration systems to the conditions of African life.

But where the core of NATO is concerned, the Secretary of State has not only reiterated the United States' profound attachment to the alliance, `` cornerstone '' of its foreign policy, but has announced that five nuclear submarines will eventually be at NATO's disposal in European waters.

Socio-cultural anthropology is considered anthropology proper in most of Europe, and in the parts of the world that were influenced by the European tradition.

It is a popular belief that alchemists made contributions to the " chemical " industries of the day — ore testing and refining, metalworking, production of gunpowder, ink, dyes, paints, cosmetics, leather tanning, ceramics, glass manufacture, preparation of extracts, liquors, and so on ( it seems that the preparation of aqua vitae, the " water of life ", was a fairly popular " experiment " among European alchemists ).

The Sargasso Sea contains large amounts of seaweed and is also the spawning ground for both the European eel and the American eel.

The road between Lubango and Namibe, for example, was completed recently with funding from the European Union, and is comparable to many European main routes.

Most European domestic power supplies run at 230 V, so the current drawn by a particular European appliance ( in Europe ) will be less than for an equivalent American one ( in the United States ).< ref group =" Note "> The formula for power is given by
