Alliant Techsystems and NASA conducted a successful ground test earlier today of the second Ares five-segment Development Motor (DM-2). The successful test is an important milestone in the development of America’s next generation of launch vehicles. With a loud roar and mighty column of flame, NASA and ATK Aerospace Systems successfully completed a two-minute, full-scale test of the largest and most powerful solid rocket motor designed for flight. The motor is potentially transferable to future heavy-lift launch vehicle designs. The stationary firing of the first-stage development solid rocket motor, dubbed DM-2, was the most heavily instrumented solid rocket motor test in NASA history. More than 760 instruments measured 53 test objectives. Prior to the static test, the solid rocket motor was cooled to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to verify the performance of new materials and assess motor performance at low temperatures during the full-duration test. Initial test data showed the motor performance met all expectations. The first-stage solid rocket motor is designed to generate up to 3.6-million pounds of thrust at launch and burns for just over two minutes. The test collected 764 channels of data to accomplish 53 test objectives. This is the most data ATK has ever collected in a static fire test. Information collected from this test, together with data from the first development motor test last year, will be evaluated to better understand the performance and reliability of the …

The Massachusetts Department of Correction Physical Abilities Test (PAT). Correction Officers and Correctional Program Officers are responsible for the supervision and management of adult inmates. Management of these inmates can involve highly physically demanding tasks such as: physical restraint, self defense during an assault, breakup of fights and riots, and extrication of incapacitated inmates in emergency situations. Physical demands at this level are classified as Extra Heavy Physical Demand Labor under the Dictionary of Occupational Titles published by the US Department of Labor. Due to the life safety issues involved in performing the essential functions of these job catgories, all new applicants must demonstrate sufficient endurance, strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness to safely meet the physical demands of the essential functions of the job. The Physical Abilites Test is designed to simulate actual emergency situations that occur on the job. Items 1 through 8 of the test are performed in an obstacle course format, progressing through the sequence of test items in a continuous manner. Heart rate is monitored throughout the obstacle course portion, with maximum cardiovascular tolerance defined by the Maximal Training Heart Rate (MTHR) of 90% utilizing the Karvonen formula1. 90+% is commonly recognized as above the Anaerobic Threshold, the point at which the body has insufficient oxygen and can no longer effectively remove lactic acid from the …
This was a test day at college, we brought in our own vehicles and did patient extrication scenarios…hope u like it
Here’s the new ATV vehicle that you get in the Far Cry 2 Fortunes Pack for PC (recently released). This video will show you several locations in the Leboa Sako world map (Act I) where you can find an ATV -assuming that you have the Fortunes Pack installed, that is. I also give the ATV a really good test drive by attempting to drive one from from Pala (the town in the center of the Leboa Sako map) all the way to the south east bus station WITHOUT USING ANY WEAPONS. So the rules of engagement here are that I’m only allowed to repair the vehicle and/or heal myself. Other than that, my only defense is to drive, drive, drive! Since the ATV has no mounted gun and offers no protection against enemy fire then its strong points are obviously speedrunning and evasive maneuvers over rough terrain so I decided to put it to task in that department. And by the way, you don’t need Steam to download or install the Far Cry 2 Fortunes Pack DLC. Here’s the link for the NON-Steam version of Far Cry 2 Fortunes Pack: digitalstore.ubi.com Also, many have asked me if Far Cry 2 is any good and, short answer, I think it’s great! For something more comprehensive, check my Far Cry 2 review: majorslack.com That’s it! Oh wait… One more thing… RATE THIS VIDEO! (or face the wrath of Slack…) ~ Major Slack ***
