Explorer 1 was launched on January 31, 1958 at 22:48 Eastern Time (equal to February 1, 03:48 UTC) atop the first Juno booster from LC-26 at the Cape Canaveral Missile Annex, Florida. It was the first spacecraft to detect the Van Allen radiation belt, returning data until its batteries were exhausted after nearly four months. It remained in orbit until 1970, and has been followed by more than 90 scientific spacecraft in the Explorer series.
The U.S. Earth satellite program began in 1954 as a joint U.S. Army and U.S. Navy proposal, called Project Orbiter, to put a scientific satellite into orbit during the International Geophysical Year. The proposal, using a military Redstone missile, was rejected in 1955 by the Eisenhower administration in favor of the Navy's Project Vanguard, using a booster produced for civilian space launches. Following the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the initial Project Orbiter program was revived as the Explorer program to catch up with the Soviet Union.
After inquiring about the cost of chartering one of the Colorado River steamboats of George Alonzo Johnson, and finding their rates too high, Lt. Ives ordered a steamboat built in 1857:
After being transported by the Panama Railroad across the Isthmus to the Pacific Ocean the Explorer was shipped again by steamship from Panama City up to San Francisco. From there expedition sailed with the parts of the steamboat on the deck of the schoonerMonterey to the Colorado River Delta where it arrived November 30. There Ives oversaw its reassembly and launch on December 30, 1857 at Robinson's Landing, Baja California. David C. Robinson, owner of the landing and a pilot for George Alonzo Johnson, was made captain of the boat.
After Ives used the Explorer to ascend the Colorado River he sent it back to Fort Yuma with Richardson. There it was put up for auction and sold to George A. Johnson for $1000. He had its engine and paddle wheel removed and used it for a barge to carry firewood to steamboat landings. In 1864 it broke free from it moorings at Pilot Knob and was carried away 60 miles down river into the Delta where it sank in a slough, sometimes seen by passing steamers, until the river moved away from the location and it was hidden by the delta foliage and lost. Its wreck was found in 1929, by a survey party, in a dried up slough miles away from the new course of the river. A mere skeleton remained, its iron plates long ago removed to make comales for baking tortillas.
Explorer 14 is a spin-stabilized, solar-cell-powered spacecraft instrumented to measure cosmic-ray particles, trapped particles, solar wind protons, and magnetospheric and interplanetary magnetic fields. A 16-channel PFM/PM time-division multiplexed telemeter was used. The time required to sample the 16 channels (one frame period) was 0.323s. Half of the channels were used to convey eight-level digital information, and the others were used for analog information. During ground processing of the telemetered data, the analog information was digitized with an accuracy of 1/100 of full scale. One analog channel was subcommutated in a 16-frame-long pattern and was used to telemeter spacecraft temperatures, power system voltages, currents, etc. A digital solar aspect sensor measured the spin period and phase, digitized to 0.041s, and the angle between the spin axis and sun direction to about 3-degree intervals.
Explorer 17 (also known as Atmosphere Explorer-A (AE-A) and S6) was a United Statessatellite, launched at Cape Canaveral from LC-17B on a Delta-B booster, on April 3, 1963, to study the Earth's upper atmosphere. It was the first satellite of five Atmosphere Explorers.
Technical specifications
Explorer 17 was a spin-stabilized sphere 0.95 m in diameter. The spacecraft was vacuum sealed in order to prevent contamination of the local atmosphere. Explorer 17 carried four pressure gauges for the measurement of total neutral particle density, two mass spectrometers for the measurement of certain neutral particle concentrations, and two electrostatic probes for ion concentration and electron temperature measurements. Battery power failed on July 10, 1963. Three of the four pressure gauges and both electrostatic probes operated normally. One spectrometer malfunctioned, and the other operated intermittently.
The successful launch and operating of Explorer 17 allowed scientists for the first time to obtain instantaneous atmospheric density measurements using several independent measuring systems, to measure the atmosphere during a single day under nearly constant local time conditions and geomagnetic activity, and to compare direct measurements of density with those inferred from measurements of perturbations in the satellite period orbit.
When the station first appeared in Hong Kong Mass Transit: Further Studies in 1970, it was simply known as Kennedy (Chinese:堅尼地). It was to be built as part of the Island Line in the 1980s, but construction of the line did not commence westwards beyond Sheung Wan, citing inadequate passengers and technical difficulties by contractors.
Under the latest proposal as of June 2005, Kennedy Town would be served by West Island Line as an extension of the Island Line, a heavy rail system, instead of being served by a medium capacity rail shared by commuters from Southern District, after pressure from local community groups.
Construction
The station was designed by TFP Farrells. The contract to construct the station and overrun tunnel was awarded to Gammon Construction (half owned by Balfour Beatty) for HK$1.34 billion. The overrun tunnel is 650 metres in length. Construction commenced in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Demolition of the swimming pool, which occupied the bulk of the station site, was underway by 2011. The re-provisioning contract for the new Kennedy Town Swimming Pool was awarded to Paul Y. Construction Company Ltd in July 2009 and was finished in 2011 near the Kennedy Town seafront.
According to Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges, the given name Kennedy is an Anglicised form of Cinnéidigh, a masculine given name in the Irish language. This Irish name is composed of two elements: the first, ceann, means "head"; the second, éidigh, means "ugly". According to Patrick Woulfe, who wrote in the early 19th century, Kennedy is an Anglicised form the Irish Cinnéididh and Cinnéidigh. Woulfe derived these Irish names from two elements: the first, ceann, meaning "a head"; the second, éide, meaning "armour"; hence the name can be thought to mean "helmet-headed".
Other languages
As a masculine given name, Kennedy can be rendered into Irish as Cinnéididh and Cinnéidigh, and into Latin as Kinnedius. The masculine Kennedy can be rendered into Scottish Gaelic as Uarraig. This name is etymologically unrelated to the English Kennedy and Irish Cinnéidigh. Uarraig is composed of two Gaelic elements: the first, uall, means "pride"; and the second, garg, means "fierce". This Scottish Gaelic name is Anglicised Kennedy possibly because it was commonly borne by various families who bore the surnameKennedy. One such family, according tradition dating from the 18th century, descended from a man who bore a form of this name, and settled in Lochaber in the 16th century.

Joseph Christmas Ives and the Steam Boat Explorer - Steam Culture
Today on Steam Culture, Brent talks about a steamboat that was used to help ferry supplies up and down the Colorado river. Trying to move wagons through the Grand Canyon was proving to be a very difficult if not impossible process so Joseph Ives came up with an idea to use the river that flows through it. Only with the power of steam was the boat powerful enough to go against the strong current of the Colorado River.

DJI Mavic Air 2 | 4k | Part 2: Wreck of the Ghostly Sternwheeler Gleaner - Yukon's Carcross
We conclude our tour of Carcross by flying you over a relic of Yukon's gold rush history - the wreck of the Sternwheeler "Gleaner." Why call it a ghostly ship? Because we had strange, unexplained signal interference and the controller completely lost contact with the drone at one point when we flew over the wreck. Coincidence?
Built in 1899 near Carcross, Yukon, the 34.44 metre | 113 foot long and 7.5 metre | 24.6 foot wide Gleaner was a Klondike Gold Rush era transport ship. It moved up to 135.2 metric tonnes | 149.05 tons of gold and silver ore from the gold fields and was licensed to carry up to 150 passengers. The boat was retired in 1932 to make way for larger and newer sternwheeler vessels; it was scuttled on the beach at Carcross shortly afterward. Nearly a century later, the ship'...

Historic Shipwrecks Abandoned on the River | Destination Adventure
The Paddlewheel Graveyard, is a fascinating spot because it is home run historical site, but it's almost forgotten by the locals. I understand how this can happen though. Often times, the things in our own backyard are the ones that get overlooked, or lose their interest. Lucky for me, I was told about this location long before arriving in Dawson City, and let me tell you it did not disappoint.
This location along the Yukon River, was once a ship yard, and is now home to the Ship Graveyard. As time goes on, technology advances and industry shifts, we must also shift with it. When these ships were pulled onto shore here, there was little to nothing wrong with them, other than the fact they were no longer needed. It is a shame really, because these much have been beautiful boats in t...

The Paddlewheel Graveyard, is a fascinating spot because it is home run historical site, but it's almost forgotten by the locals. I understand how this can happen though. Often times, the things in our own backyard are the ones that get overlooked, or lose their interest. Lucky for me, I was told about this location long before arriving in Dawson City, and let me tell you it did not disappoint.
This location along the Yukon River, was once a ship yard, and is now home to the Ship Graveyard. As time goes on, technology advances and industry shifts, we must also shift with it. When these ships were pulled onto shore here, there was little to nothing wrong with them, other than the fact they were no longer needed. It is a shame really, because these much have been beautiful boats in the day, but that is the way things go. Nothing lasts forever, but I am happy to have had the opportunity to see these before they are lost forever.
I want to thank Alex, for making the time to fit me in for an interview. This location was surprisingly difficult to secure a reliable interview, but it managed to happen literally hours before I had to leave Dawson City. I am also excited to have seen so many people in the comments asking for this location, so I hope you are all happy to see this one.
A big thank you, as always, to my Patrons. I never had imagined I could make it this far north over the summer, and I owe that comfort to you guys and gals. Thank you!

Today on Steam Culture, Brent talks about a steamboat that was used to help ferry supplies up and down the Colorado river. Trying to move wagons through the Grand Canyon was proving to be a very difficult if not impossible process so Joseph Ives came up with an idea to use the river that flows through it. Only with the power of steam was the boat powerful enough to go against the strong current of the Colorado River.

In 1840, the steamboat Lexington of the New Jersey Steamship Navigation and Transportation Company caught fire due to overheated boilers, burned up and sank in what would be the worst steamboat disaster in the History of Long Island Sound. As with several of the topics we've covered, this one has never before been properly told.
The W. T. Preston snagboat cleared the Skagit River and other waterways of snags and debris from the 1930s to the 1980s. Take a guided or self-guided tour. It's part of the Maritime Heritage Center in Anacortes.
For more videos on Skagit County, see Skagit County Explorer (http://www.skagitcountyexplorer.com).
We conclude our tour of Carcross by flying you over a relic of Yukon's gold rush history - the wreck of the Sternwheeler "Gleaner." Why call it a ghostly ship? Because we had strange, unexplained signal interference and the controller completely lost contact with the drone at one point when we flew over the wreck. Coincidence?
Built in 1899 near Carcross, Yukon, the 34.44 metre | 113 foot long and 7.5 metre | 24.6 foot wide Gleaner was a Klondike Gold Rush era transport ship. It moved up to 135.2 metric tonnes | 149.05 tons of gold and silver ore from the gold fields and was licensed to carry up to 150 passengers. The boat was retired in 1932 to make way for larger and newer sternwheeler vessels; it was scuttled on the beach at Carcross shortly afterward. Nearly a century later, the ship's bones are still visible during low water levels. Let's fly!

Explorer 1 was launched on January 31, 1958 at 22:48 Eastern Time (equal to February 1, 03:48 UTC) atop the first Juno booster from LC-26 at the Cape Canaveral Missile Annex, Florida. It was the first spacecraft to detect the Van Allen radiation belt, returning data until its batteries were exhausted after nearly four months. It remained in orbit until 1970, and has been followed by more than 90 scientific spacecraft in the Explorer series.
The U.S. Earth satellite program began in 1954 as a joint U.S. Army and U.S. Navy proposal, called Project Orbiter, to put a scientific satellite into orbit during the International Geophysical Year. The proposal, using a military Redstone missile, was rejected in 1955 by the Eisenhower administration in favor of the Navy's Project Vanguard, using a booster produced for civilian space launches. Following the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the initial Project Orbiter program was revived as the Explorer program to catch up with the Soviet Union.
