5. lappuse - National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958". DECLARATION OF POLICY AND PURPOSE SEC. 102. (a) The Congress hereby declares that it is the policy of the United States that activities in space should be devoted to peaceful purposes for the benefit of all mankind.
99. lappuse - There is increasing but still somewhat ambiguous statistical evidence that precipitation from some types of cloud and storm systems can be modestly increased or redistributed by seeding techniques. The implications are manifold and of immediate national concern.
82. lappuse - The primary result of this determination has been to raise questions. Through attempts at answering these questions, satellite geodesy has had an appreciable impact on the direction of scientific investigation in many areas of the Earth Sciences. As an example: one of the first results of satellite geodesy was an improved value for the flattening of the Earth which was determined to be significantly greater than that derived from the best theory available.
14. lappuse - Communications Satellite Act of 1962". DECLARATION OF POLICY AND PURPOSE SEC. 102. (a) The Congress hereby declares that it is the policy of the United states to establish, in conjunction and in cooperation with other countries, as expeditiously as practicable a commercial communications satellite system, as part of an improved global communications network...
46. lappuse - ... environment so as to protect and enhance the health and welfare of our peoples. Included in this latter issue is a need to better understand our Earth and the dynamic processes that shape its surface. The increasing need for natural resources can be well illustrated by considering that during the past 30 years the United States alone used more minerals and fuels than did the entire world in all previous history. Further, the United States will double its present consumption within 15-25 years....
90. lappuse - This figure does not take into account the economic benefits that might be obtained in the various industries associated with tourism and recreation, or the intangible savings to individual families. Although we believe the total is conservative, each of its components is quite clearly arbitrary and uncertain. To be on the safe side we have reduced the savings in Table 1 resulting from improvements in long-range weather forecasts to $2 billion.
123. lappuse - Space has recommended that a working group be established to consider and make recommendations on the need, feasibility, and implementation of a navigation satellite system including such aspects as costs, organi-zation, and legal questions. The group would be made up of interested members of the Com-mittee and invited representatives from such UN specialized agencies as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Inter-national Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO), and International...
21. lappuse - ... nuclear-turboalternator of the SXAP-8 class, the largest for which technology is under development, unless the conventional TV receiver is equipped with a directive antenna augmented possibly by a preamplifier. In such an approach, the onboard satellite power requirement could be reduced to about 20 lew. No such power sources now exist, but there is work underway on nuclear and even solar power systems at this level. The direct broadcast TV satellite would also require the development of a large-space...
1. lappuse - ... 1. The feasibility and practicality of using space systems for meeting existing and foreseen needs on the Earth. 2. The economic tradeoffs of providing for such needs with space systems, with conventional techniques, or of not providing for them at all. 3. The direction and priority of existing, planned, and recommended US research, development, and operational activities in this field. This inquiry must be made in the light of the many policy, legal, social, and political factors that impinge...
