A #photograph of a #UnitedLaunchAlliance #ULA #DeltaIVHeavy #rocket at #CapeCanaveral’s LC-37B.
The #Delta IV #Heavy is a variant of the Delta IV with 3 #CommonBoosterCores #CBC’s mounted side-by-side with the #DeltaCryogenicSpperStage #DCSS mounted on the center CBC. The center CBC throttles its #Rocketdyne RS-68 #engine down to 55% rated #thrust while the “outboard” CBC’s remain at 100% until #burnout.
The center CBC then throttles up until it burns its fuel, then releases the DCSS and #spacecraft.

During a tour of #NASA’s Kennedy Space Center #KSC, #journalists and #photographers were brought to a room to be shown some hardware. It was completely ignored in favor of the #restored S-3D #rocket #engine. The presentation was derailed, much to the chagrin of NASA’s Press Office.
But really, it was their fault. They basically brought a bunch of magpies into a room with something shiny. What did they expect to happen? For us not to gawk at the #shiny #rocket #engine?
And then they didn’t even tell us anything about it. They just gave their presentation while glaring at the magpies they willfully brought into a room with a rocket engine in the corner.
The S-3D is an #ancestor of many engines. It powered the #Atlas rocket until the Atlas III, the #Saturn I & IB, the #Thor missile/#SLV, and became the #Rocketdyne RS-27 on the #Delta and #DeltaII #rockets.

Brandeis-Bardin Groundwater Toxins Hit Historic Highs

by Michael Collins, August 10, 2022

#SantaSusanaFieldLab #radiation and #chemicals plague popular Jewish camp as Los Angeles Water Board prepares to end #SSFL surface water testing

"Cesium-137, radium-226, arsenic and mercury" found in "ever-increasing concentrations". Many have hiked in the nearby canyons, "where these readings were found the well-water."
