View from Space Shuttle Endeavour
NASA – STS108-E-5635 (15 December 2001) — As seen in an overall view from a digital still camera aimed through a window on Endeavour’s aft flight deck, the International Space Station (ISS), now staffed with its fourth three-person crew, is backdropped against dark space. The scene was photographed during a fly-around survey by the shuttle following undocking.

STS110-E-6006 (17 April 2002) — The International Space Station (ISS), newly equipped with the 27,000 pound S0 (S-zero) truss, was photographed with a digital still camera by one of the astronauts on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Seen just above center frame, S0 is the first segment of a truss structure which will ultimately expand the station to the length of a football field. Atlantis pulled away from the complex at 1:31 p.m. (CDT) as the two spacecraft flew some 247 statute miles above Earth. After more than a week of joint operations between the shuttle and station crews, astronaut Stephen N. Frick, pilot, backed Atlantis away to a distance of about 400 feet in front of the station, where he began a 1 1/4 lap flyaround of the ISS.

STS110-E-6058 (17 April 2002) — This is one of a series of digital still images of the International Space Station (ISS) recorded by the STS-110 crew members on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis following the undocking of the two spacecraft some 247 statute miles above the North Atlantic. Atlantis pulled away from the complex at 1:31 p.m. (CDT). After more than a week of joint operations between the shuttle and station crews, astronaut Stephen N. Frick, pilot, backed Atlantis away to a distance of about 400 feet in front of the station, where he began a 1 1/4 lap flyaround of the ISS, newly equipped with the 27,000 pound S0 (S-zero) truss, visible in this series of images. S0 is the first segment of a truss structure which will ultimately expand the station to the length of a football field.

It takes a special kind of individual to perform offshore wind service. The job requires advanced technical and classroom training and expertise as well as comprehensive safety training. This requires superior physical endurance and stamina, since they must be prepared for conditions that can change at a moment’s notice. The sea can be as unpredictable as the skies, and everyone has to be prepared. You cannot afford to be afraid of heights or be prone to seasickness. more> http://tinyurl.com/ow7rv9u
R&D – Heikki Remes at the Aalto University School of Engineering, Department of Applied Mechanics, has developed a model making it possible to determine how fatigue sets in with various welded steel materials. The model allows for the development of lighter structures, and as a consequence, more energy-efficient ships.
