Abstract

The article focuses on the professional achievements of David Landis, a state senator from Nebraska. The article adds that since 1978, he has been getting rave reviews at co-op annual meetings for an inspirational, one-man performance in which he portrays co-op pioneer and champion George W. Norris. Born at the outset of the Civil War in 1861, Norris was elected from Nebraska to the House of Representatives in 1902, spending 10 years in the House before moving on to the Senate, where he served another 30 years. During the 1930s, he authored legislation that created the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

Abstract

The Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrometer (UVS) instrument, which flew on the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft (SC), was one of three science instruments used to characterize the lunar exosphere. UVS is a point spectrograph operating between 230-810 nm and used its two optical apertures to make observations of the exosphere just above the surface at a range of local times and altitudes, as well as making solar occultation measurements at the lunar sunrise terminator. The instrument was led out of NASA Ames Research Center with primary hardware being provided by Draper Laboratories. Final instrument integration, testing and operations were performed at NASA Ames. Over the course of the 140-day LADEE mission UVS acquired more than 1 million spectra, providing a unique data set for lunar exosphere gasses and dust. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
