Apollo 16 was slated to be the second of the " J-missions ," an Apollo mission type featuring the use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle ( LRV ), increased scientific capability, and lunar surface stays of three days.

To smooth the transition from second generation to the new line, IBM used the 360's microprogramming capability to emulate the more popular older models.

The Principality of Monaco, which is the world's second smallest nation ( after the Vatican City State ), has a very limited military capability, and would depend entirely upon its larger neighbour, France, for defence in the face of an aggressive world power.

It was only with the advent of ballistic missile submarines, starting with the George Washington class in 1959, that a survivable nuclear force became possible and second strike capability credible.

In McNamara's formulation, MAD meant that nuclear nations either had first strike or second strike capability.

An early form of second strike capability had already been provided by the use of continual patrols of nuclear-equipped bombers, with a fixed number of planes always in the air ( and therefore untouchable by a first strike ) at any given time.

Ballistic missile submarines established a second strike capability through their stealth and by the number fielded by each Cold War adversary — it was highly unlikely that all of them could be targeted and preemptively destroyed ( in contrast to, for example, a missile silo with a fixed location that could be targeted during a first strike ).

Israeli and European manufacturers form a second tier due to lower indigenous investments, and the governments of those nations have initiatives to acquire U. S. systems due to higher levels of capability.

First generation stations such as Salyut 1 and Skylab had monolithic designs, consisting of one module with no resupply capability, whilst the second generation stations Salyut 6 and Salyut 7 comprised a monolithic station with two ports to allow consumables to be replenished by cargo spacecraft such as Progress.

Seagate's second generation ST-412 disk drive, amongst other things, added buffered seek capability to the interface.

The maximum memory would be 65 Tb, with a network I / O capability of 24 TB / second.

The second capability, by itself, is less noteworthy, as major RISC architectures ( such as SPARC, Alpha, PA-RISC, PowerPC, MIPS ) have been 64-bit for many years.

Kahn argued that for deterrence to succeed, the Soviets had to be convinced that the United States had a second strike capability, in order to leave no doubt in the minds of the Politburo that even a perfectly-coordinated, massive attack would guarantee a measure of retaliation that would leave them devastated as well:

The iPhone 4S was announced on October 4, 2011, improving upon the iPhone 4 with a dual core A5 processor, an 8 megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30 frames per second, World phone capability allowing it to work on both GSM & CDMA networks, and the Siri automated voice assistant.

" Iraq is not disarming ," Ritter said, and in a second statement, " Iraq retains the capability to launch a chemical strike.

The primary mirrors of each of the two telescopes are 10 meters ( 33 ft ) in diameter, making them the second largest optical telescopes in the world, slightly behind the Gran Telescopio Canarias ; however the Gran Canary telescope does not have the capability to use all of its 10. 4 meters, thus making the Keck telescopes the largest observable telescope in the world.

Many television stations which have the capability ( both commercial and public ) will also air their local feed of NWR on their second audio program channel if they aren't carrying a program which features either a Spanish language translation or a Descriptive Video Service track for the visually impaired.

Typical MMU delta-v ( velocity change ) capability was about 80 feet per second ( 24. 4 m / s ).

A unique feature of the HETE mission was its capability to localize GRBs with ~ 10 arc second accuracy in near real time aboard the spacecraft, and to transmit these positions directly to a network of receivers at existing ground-based observatories enabling rapid, sensitive follow-up studies in the radio, IR, and optical bands.

* – Deputy State Department spokesman Adam Ereli congratulated China on the launch of its second manned spacecraft, and applauded its success as only the third nation with this capability.

These are probably used for a second olfactory capability, in addition to the normal sense of smell based in the nose.

Congressman Daniel had become convinced that the U. S. military establishment was not interested in special operations, that the country ’ s capability in this area was second rate, and that SOF operational command and control was an endemic problem.

* Others argued that the SS-20 was part of an attempt on the part of the Soviet military to develop a more sophisticated nuclear strategy that did not call for an all out nuclear first strike as soon as World War III began by giving the Soviets a second strike capability that they had previously lacked.

Intel saw ways to improve a second generation design, but it would still be impractical with large overheads for the capability architecture and instruction set.

In spots such as the elbows and knees the second skin is worn off and I realized the aborigines were much darker than they appeared ; ;

Steinberg spoke with warmth and enthusiasm about Italy: `` Rome is my second home.

He must construct transitions so that a dancer who is told to lie prone one second and to leap wildly the next will have some physical preparation for the leap.

The first half of The Charles Men, ending on the climax of the battle of Poltava in 1709, is more dramatically coherent than the second.

Sibylla is pregnant with their second child when she finds the ivory tablet concealed by her husband, and the identities of mother and son are revealed.

The second reason for his popularity is his complete spontaneity with the guitar.

The idea here is one of discharge but this must stand in opposition to a second view, Plato's notion of the arousal of emotion.

There is a second feature of the influences of literature, good literature, on emotional life which may have some special value for our time.

Again omitting recent developments, E.T. Leeds' dictum of 1913 has stood unchallenged: `` So far as archaeology is concerned, there is not the least warrant for the second ( shore occupied by ) of these theories ''.

And the second requirement for convincing people without their knowledge is artistic talent to prepare the words and pictures which persuade by using the principles which the scientists have discovered.

Even to be `` from hope and fear set free '' is at least better than to have lost the first without having got rid of the second.

Obviously, if this club is going to move from second to first in the American League, it will have to show improvement someplace.

Hank Foiles, backed up by Frank House who will be within calling distance in the minors, make up better second line catching than the Birds had all last year, but Gus is still that big man you need when you start talking pennant.

The 15th Street deposit is not to be confused with the nearby famous Mayflower Hotel cypress swamp on 17th Street reported in The Washington Post, August 2, 1955, which was probably formed during the second interglacial period and is therefore much younger.

The second mistake is Tibet.

Even apart from the fact that now at the age of 31 my personal life is being totally disrupted for the second time for no very compelling reason -- I cannot help looking around at the black leather jacket brigades standing idly on the street corners and in the taverns of every American city and asking myself if our society has gone mad.

He is interested in public opinion for two reasons: first, because it is important in itself, and, second, because he knows that the American public cares about a decent respect for the opinions of mankind.

A second fundamental principle is that involved particularly in the present proceeding -- the difference between nighttime and daytime propagation conditions with respect to the standard broadcast frequencies.

A second and also good practice is to shear off the tops, leaving an inch high stub with just a leaf or two on each branch.

I like to shear half my plants at a time, leaving one half of them to blossom while the second half is getting started on its new round of blooming.

If the plants are cared for and protected over the winter, the second year is more prolific than the first.
