The Apollo spacecraft could be tested in two vacuum chambers capable of simulating atmospheric pressure at altitudes up to, which is nearly a vacuum.

By the time mission control issued the wake-up call to the crew for flight day two, the spacecraft was approximately away from the Earth, traveling at about.

As the Apollo 16 spacecraft was not due to arrive in lunar orbit until flight day four, flight days two and three were largely preparatory days, consisting of spacecraft maintenance and scientific research.

To minimize the transfer of lunar dust from the LM cabin into the CSM, Young and Duke cleaned the cabin before opening the hatch separating the two spacecraft.

Two or more asteroids let the spacecraft triangulate its position ; two or more positions in time let the spacecraft determine its trajectory.

Aldrin worked outside the spacecraft for 2 hours and 6 minutes, in addition to two stand-up EVAs in the spacecraft hatch for an additional 3 hours and 24 minutes.

The spacecraft traveled around Jupiter in elongated ellipses, each orbit lasting about two months.

The spacecraft was controlled by six RCA 1802 COSMAC microprocessor CPUs: four on the spun side and two on the despun side.

There were two BUMs and two DBUMs in the CDH subsystem and they all resided on the spun side of the spacecraft.

It also controls access to the two data system buses by other spacecraft subsystems.

RTGs had been used for years in planetary exploration without mishap: the Lincoln Experimental Satellites 8 / 9, launched by the U. S. Department of Defense, had 7 % more plutonium on board than Galileo, and the two Voyager spacecraft each carried 80 % as much plutonium as Galileo did.

Remotely-controlled landers such as Viking, Pathfinder and the two Mars Exploration Rovers have landed on the surface of Mars and several Venera and Vega spacecraft have landed on the surface of Venus.

* 1975 – Apollo – Soyuz Test Project: An American Apollo and a Soviet Soyuz spacecraft dock with each other in orbit marking the first such link-up between spacecraft from the two nations.

In the Atari 8-bit game Rescue on Fractalus !, published by Lucasfilm Games in 1985, the graphics depicting the cockpit of the player's spacecraft contains two window struts, which are not anti-aliased and are therefore very " jagged ".

This same effect is present at the Lagrangian points in the Earth – Moon system, where the analogue of the string is the summed ( or net ) gravitational attraction of the two masses, and the stone is an asteroid or a spacecraft.

Laika, a stray dog, originally named Kudryavka ( Little Curly ), underwent training with two other dogs, and was eventually chosen as the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on November 3, 1957.

The pilot could use any one of the three thruster systems and fuel them from either of the two fuel tanks to provide spacecraft attitude control.

One was sufficient to return the spacecraft to Earth if the other two failed.

In this simpler plan, a crew of two would be sent to Mars by a single Falcon Heavy launch, the Dragon spacecraft acting as their interplanetary cruise habitat.

The primary goal of the project was to develop and launch two spacecraft sequentially to the near vicinity of the planet Venus, receive communications from the spacecraft and to perform radiometric temperature measurements of the planet.

** Two cosmonauts transfer from Soyuz 5 to Soyuz 4 via a spacewalk while the two craft are docked together, the first time such a transfer takes place.

The two craft rendezvoused and docked on 17 July at 16: 19 UTC.

Klimuk and Sevastyanov were launched into space on 24 May 1975 and docked with Salyut 4 two days later.

Salyut 6 with Progress spacecraft | Progress ( P ) and Soyuz spacecraft | Soyuz ( F ) spacecraft The most important feature on Salyut 6, however, was the addition of a second docking port on the aft end of the station, which allowed two spacecraft to be docked at once.

A noticeable difference between the two breeds is that the Pembroke tail is usually docked, while those of Cardigans are mainly left to grow long and bushy.

Progress 3 was launched 8 August and docked with Salyut 6 two days later.

The other involved Mainichi personnel, Yutaka Asahina, Managing Director and Digital Media Division Executive Supervisor ; Atsushi Hasegawa, General Manager of the Digital Media Division ; Akihiko Isono, Deputy General Manager of the Digital Media Division ; and Hiroshi Takahashi, Managing Editor, were either docked 10 %– 20 % salary or " stripped of their titles " for a period of one or two months.

The Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, and Washington Redskins ignored the warning, and in 2012 the Cowboys and Redskins ( the top two NFL teams by revenue in 2011 ) were docked $ 10 million and $ 36 million, respectively, from their salary caps, to be spread over the next two seasons.

In 1890, a ship carrying the Australian cricket team on the way to a tour of England, docked in Gibraltar Harbour after a collision with two other ships.

In July of the same year, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project became the first international space mission, wherein three American astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts docked their spacecraft and conducted joint experiments.

Soyuz TM-32 was a manned Russian spacecraft which was launched on April 28, 2001, and docked with the International Space Station two days later.

As the new lifeboat for Expedition 2 and later Expedition 3, TM-32 stayed docked at the station for six months ( except for a brief move between docking ports ) and finally, on October 31, brought home two cosmonauts and an ESA astronaut who had arrived a week earlier in Soyuz TM-33.

Following a two day solo flight the Soyuz docked with Mir on July 3, 1994.

* The Macross is designed slightly differently and instead of having the Daedalus and Prometheus docked as its ' arms ' it has two ARMD carriers.

When docked, two sets of grapples, its own and the station's, hold it in place and in mutual clinch: a ship can undock forcibly, but that is bound to damage the station and is a criminal offense.

After nearly two days of flight, Endeavour docked with the ISS on 21 April 2001 at 13: 59 UTC.

In five days of docked operations more than three tons of food, water, experiment equipment and samples were moved back and forth between the two spacecraft.

The design was based on the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous approach: two docked spacecraft were sent to the Moon and went into lunar orbit.

After the lunar excursion, the two craft rendezvoused and docked in lunar orbit, and the CSM returned the crew to Earth.

Two days later, the two spacecraft docked successfully.

When, in late afternoon on the last day in June, he saw two people top the ridge to the south and walk toward the house, he quit work immediately and strode to his rifle.

He had seen a few nester wagons go through the country, the families almost starving to death, but he had never seen any of them on foot and as bad off as these two.

They, and the two large fans which I could dimly see as daylight filtered through their vents, down at the far end of the hall, could be turned on by a master switch situated inside the office.

Greg himself took two flights, with Todman leading the second, to patrol and look for targets of opportunities around Ormoc on the east coast of Leyte.

The car was just about to us, its driver's fat, solemn face intent on the road ahead, on business, on a family in Sante Fe -- on anything but an old pick-up truck in which two human beings desperately needed rescue.

While several yards from it, still concealed by the shrubbery, she'd seen two men on her left at the pool's edge.

Two uniformed officers, a couple of plain-clothesmen I knew, and two other men stood on a gray cement area next to the pool on my left.

Packing a small suitcase, informing her husband whom she found in Harry's Bar that she was taking a train to Germany to get away for a while, patting his arm, refusing a drink, getting on the train -- all this had only taken her two hours.

It made only a tiny bump over the two men like a tire over a piece of gravel then moved on.

The man took two short steps backward then sat down heavily on the pavement.

`` You know what they say about two deep dives in one day '', Artie went on, still twirling the snorkle and studying it intently.

But in our case -- and neither my wife nor I have extreme views on integration, nor are we given to emotional outbursts -- the situation has ruined one or two valued friendships and come close to wrecking several more.

We followed the asphalt road for a few miles and then swung off onto a smaller road which was nothing more than two tire marks on the earth.

I think it is essential, however, to pinpoint here the difference between the two concepts of sovereignty that went to war in 1861 -- if only to see better how imperative is our need today to clarify completely our far worse confusion on this subject.

One is tempted to say that, on the difference between the concepts of sovereignty in these two preambles, the worst war of the Nineteenth century was fought.

They differed in the balance they believed essential to the sovereignty of the citizen -- but the supreme sacrifice each made served to maintain a still more fundamental truth: That individual life, liberty and happiness depend on a right balance between the two -- and on the limitation of sovereignty, in all its aspects, which this involves.

My curiosity was sharpened a day or two before the interview by a conversation I had with a well-informed teacher of literature, a Jesuit father, at a conference on religious drama near Paris.

But the fences were still in place fifty-odd years ago, and when we stood on the gate to look over, the sidewalk under our eyes was not cement but two rows of paving stones with grass between and on both sides.

The first of two possible variations on this theme is symbolized by Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer.
