The Nassau Agreement was signed on December 18, 1962 resulting in the signing of the Polaris Sales Agreement on April 6, 1963.

The Polaris Sales Agreement was used as the model for the UK's purchase of the Trident weapon system to replace Polaris in British service.

Under the Polaris Sales Agreement, the United Kingdom paid a 5 % levy on the cost of equipment supplied in recognition of US research and development costs already incurred.

Trident missiles are provided to the United Kingdom under the terms of the 1963 Polaris Sales Agreement which was modified in 1982 for Trident.

The United Kingdom has purchased the rights to 58 missiles under the Polaris Sales Agreement ( modified for Trident ) from the United States Navy's " pool ".

Under the agreement the US was to provide the UK with a supply of nuclear-capable Polaris missiles ( under the terms of the Polaris Sales Agreement ), in return for which the UK was to lease the Americans a nuclear submarine base in the Holy Loch, near Glasgow.

In 1980, the Royal Navy requested Trident I missiles under the Polaris Sales Agreement, however in 1982, this was changed to Trident IIs.

For example, the importance of the Regulus 2, a very promising aerodynamic ship-to-surface missile designed to be launched by surfaced submarines, was greatly diminished by the successful acceleration of the much more advanced Polaris ballistic missile launched by submerged submarines.

It was the primary British nuclear deterrent weapon until the Royal Navy started operating Polaris missile armed nuclear submarines.

A stop-gap weapon ( WE. 177B ) was quickly produced to extend the life of the V-bomber force in the strategic role until the Polaris missile was deployed.

There was increasing tension between the superpowers following the deployment of American Pershing missiles in Western Europe, SS20s in the Soviet Bloc countries and Britain's replacement of the Polaris armed submarine fleet with Trident missiles.

( The Navy was developing the submarine-launched Polaris missile, which required them to know the submarine's location.

Bobby was further frustrated when Havok and Polaris announced their imminent wedding, him having carried a torch for Lorna for quite some time.

From his experiments, he concluded that the Earth was itself magnetic and that this was the reason compasses pointed north ( previously, some believed that it was the pole star ( Polaris ) or a large magnetic island on the north pole that attracted the compass ).

Moderns have Polaris to mark the approximate location of the North celestial pole, which it does nearly exactly, but this position of Polaris was not available in Pytheas ' time, due to changes in the positions of the stars.

And the " Program Evaluation and Review Technique " or PERT, was developed by Booz Allen Hamilton as part of the United States Navy's ( in conjunction with the Lockheed Corporation ) Polaris missile submarine program ; These mathematical techniques quickly spread into many private enterprises.

The project was given the title Polaris B3 in November, but the missile was eventually named Poseidon C3 to emphasize the technical advances over its predecessor.

As with Polaris, starting a rocket motor when the missile was still in the submarine was considered very dangerous.

This was solved during a series of meetings that led to the Royal Navy gaining the UGM-27 Polaris missile and construction of the Resolution class submarines to launch them.

Over the next few days a new plan was hammered out that saw the UK purchase the Polaris SLBM, but equipped with British warheads that lacked the dual-key system.

The Polaris, a much better weapon system for the UK, was a major " scoop " and has been referred to as “ almost the bargain of the century ” The RAF kept a tactical nuclear capability with the WE. 177 which armed V bombers and later the Panavia Tornado force.

Rather, the United Kingdom received a US $ 14 million discount from the US on the acquisition of submarine launched ballistic missile system Polaris missiles per a now-declassified addendum to the 1966 agreement.

The agreement formally arranged for the Polaris missile system to be provided to the UK to maintain its independent nuclear deterrent.

When Skybolt was in turn unilaterally cancelled by U. S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Macmillan negotiated with President John F. Kennedy the purchase of Polaris missiles from the United States under the Nassau agreement in December 1962.

Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will help one another to extend their brands into the other's home market, KTM extending their reach into North America, and Polaris extending into Europe.

Polaris Aircraft Leasing, a subsidiary of General Electric Capital, entered into agreement in 1993 to suspend lease payments on the airline's three Boeing 747-100SFs in return for an option to buy up to 49 percent of the airline in January 1995.

In 1982 Thatcher and Reagan reached an agreement to replace the British Polaris fleet with a force equipped with US-supplied Trident missiles, and Reagan became only the second foreign leader to address both Houses of Parliament ( the first was de Gaulle in 1960 ).

When Skybolt was cancelled, part of the resulting Nassau agreement was the replacement of Skybolt with the Polaris missile.

The agreement enabled the UK Polaris programme.

The agreement was clear that the UK's Polaris missiles were part of a ' multi-lateral force ' within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) and could be used independently only when ' supreme national interests ' intervened.

Conceptually, there is no difference between the latter two categories, and improvements in telescopes can shift previously non-visual binaries into the visual class, as happened with Polaris in 2006.

These five submarines made 40 Regulus strategic deterrent patrols between October 1959 and July 1964, when they were relieved by the George Washington class submarines carrying the Polaris missile system.

The complex would also include a 17, 500-seat arena and a 36, 000 seat stadium behind the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino and would cover an area between Russell Road and Hacienda Avenue and bordered by Polaris Avenue and Interstate 15.

In the northern hemisphere, if you can see Polaris ( the North Star ) the declination can be determined as the difference between the magnetic bearing and a visual bearing on the polestar.

The snowmobile market is now divided up between the four large North American makers ( Bombardier Recreational Products ( BRP ), Arctic Cat, Yamaha, and Polaris ) and some specialized makers like the Quebec-based AD Boivin ( manufacturer of the Snow Hawk ) and the European Alpina Snowmobiles.

In July 2007, Schaeffer announced a competition between the group's newest program, Polaris, and two human professionals, Phil Laak and Ali Eslami.

431 prime number, Sophie Germain prime, sum of seven consecutive primes ( 47 + 53 + 59 + 61 + 67 + 71 + 73 ), Chen prime, Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part, the distance between Earth and the star Polaris in light years

Transfer of a Polaris Missile between USS Proteus ( AS-19 ) & USS Patrick Henry ( SSBN-599 ) at Holy Loch, Dunoon, Scotland, 1961

In the summer 2007, the University of Alberta hosted a highly specialized headsup tournament between humans and their Polaris bot, at the AAAI conference in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The looming collapse of the alliance between the two thermonuclear powers forced Kennedy into an immediate volte-face at the Anglo-American summit in Nassau, where he agreed to sell Polaris as a replacement for the cancelled Skybolt.

Numbers are speculative but based on hard evidence in declassified files of the number of Polaris ET. 317 warheads and spares, a figure of between 48 and 60 is likely.

The arc between the pointer stars & Polaris is nearly five times greater than the arc between the pointer stars.

Using data from Enbridge's own reports, the Polaris Institute calculated that 804 spills occurred on Enbridge pipelines between 1999 and 2010.

* Dubhe and Merak ( Alpha and Beta Ursae Majoris ), the two stars at the end of the bowl of the Big Dipper are habitually called The Pointers: a line from β to α and continued for a bit over five times the distance between them, arrives at the North Celestial Pole and the star Polaris ( α UMi / Alpha Ursae Minoris ), the North Star.

This is so because Su Song's fourth star map places the position of the pole star halfway between Tian shu (− 350 degrees ) and the current Polaris ; this was the more accurate calculation ( by 3 degrees ) that Shen Kuo had made when he observed the pole star over a period of three months with his width-improved sighting tube.

In navigation the instrument is also called a cross-staff and was used to determine angles, for instance the angle between the horizon and Polaris or the sun to determine a vessel's latitude, or the angle between the top and bottom of an object to determine the distance to said object if its height is known, or the height of the object if its distance is known, or the horizontal angle between two visible locations to determine one's point on a map.
