The federal “motor voter” law, enacted in 1993 to expand voter registration, requires states to offer voter registration when a resident applies for a driver’s license or certain benefits. Another provision of that law – the one at issue before the court – requires states to allow would-be voters to fill out mail-in registration cards and swear they are citizens under penalty of perjury, but it doesn’t require them to show proof. Under Proposition 200, Arizona officials require an Arizona driver’s license issued after 1996, a U.S. birth certificate, a passport or other similar document, or the state will reject the federal registration application form.

Posted: June 17, 2004Global communications satellite operator Intelsat, which will mark its 40th anniversary later this year, used a Russian Proton M rocket to launch its largest and most powerful spacecraft Wednesday night from the historic Baikonur Cosmodrome. The Proton rocket lifts off with Intelsat 10-02. Photo: ILSThe Intelsat 10-02 satellite lifted off from the steppes of Kazakhstan at 2227 GMT (6:27 p.m. EDT) for a 9-hour trip to geosynchronous transfer orbit in a mission managed by the commercial firm International Launch Services. ILS markets Protons and American Atlas rockets.The Proton’s lower three stages released the satellite and attached Breeze M upper stage motor on a suborbital trajectory 9 minutes into flight. The Breeze M then fired for 7 minutes to achieve a low-altitude parking orbit around Earth.Over the next several hours, the Breeze motor conducted four additional engine burns to slowly nudge the 12,300-pound Intelsat spacecraft into an egg-shaped orbit stretching from 22,267 miles at its highest point to 2,543 miles at its lowest.Deployment of the satellite from the launcher occurred about 9-hours and 10-minutes after liftoff, completing the second ILS Proton mission this year and 29th since the commercial program’s inception in the mid-1990s.”This was another outstanding mission for Proton,” said ILS President Mark Albrecht.The satellite will propel itself into a circular orbit 22,300 miles above the equator, reaching a parking spot at 1-degree West longitude where it will match Earth’s rotation and appear fixed in the sky.Following on-orbit testing, Intelsat 10-02 is scheduled to enter service in August. It will relay television programming, offer Internet connectivity and provide a host of other telecommunications services across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. What’s more, satellite can reach as far west as the Americas and as far east as India.”This successful launch, celebrated during the year of Intelsat’s 40th anniversary, reinforces our historic commitment to delivering the highest quality communications and technology to our customers throughout the world,” said Conny Kullman, CEO of Intelsat Ltd. “We are grateful to ILS for its efficiency and hard work, which has resulted in our being able to welcome another high-powered satellite to our global fleet.” An artist’s concept of Intelsat 10-02. Credit: EADS AstriumWith its increased power, greater capacity and wider coverage area, the next-generation Intelsat 10-02 satellite will replace the older Intelsat 707 craft currently occupying the 1-degree West orbital position. The 707 satellite shall be re-located for continued use.Intelsat 10-02 was built by Europe’s EADS Astrium using the Eurostar E3000 design with a 13-year life expectancy. The communications package includes 45 active C-band transponders and 16 active Ku-band transponders. “The Intelsat 10-02 satellite is not only the largest Eurostar E3000 model spacecraft ever built by EADS Astrium, it also is the largest commercial satellite carried by a Proton vehicle,” Albrecht said.The communications payload and structure were made in the U.K., the solar arrays, antennas and repeater equipment came from Germany, Italy and Canada, and some electronic equipment was produced in Spain. France made the avionics, plus conducted the final satellite assembly and testing.For ILS, this was the firm’s 6th launch in 2004 and the 8th since December — six Atlas flights and two Protons. The next Atlas is scheduled for June 30 from Cape Canaveral with a classified U.S. national security payload; the next Proton will launch the Amazonas communications satellite on July 25.”We have achieved an incredible launch tempo over the last eight months, with eight consecutive successful campaigns thus far and two more in progress,” Albrecht said. “We expect to continue at this pace the rest of the year.”Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:PROTON ROCKET LIFTS OFF WITH INTELSAT 10-02 VIDEO:THE PROTON ROCKET IS ROLLED TO THE LAUNCH PAD Ares 1-X PatchThe official embroidered patch for the Ares 1-X rocket test flight, is available for purchase.Apollo CollageThis beautiful one piece set features the Apollo program emblem surrounded by the individual mission logos.Expedition 21The official embroidered patch for the International Space Station Expedition 21 crew is now available from our stores.Hubble PatchThe official embroidered patch for mission STS-125, the space shuttle’s last planned service call to the Hubble Space Telescope, is available for purchase.Ferryflight Shuttle PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!”The Final Mission” – NASA emblem developed for the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft crew and their support teams to deliver the orbiters to their final destinations at museums.Apollo 11 special patchSpecial collectors’ patch marking the 35th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing is now available.Choose your store: – – – Inside Apollo mission controlAn insider’s view of how Apollo flight controllers operated and just what they faced when events were crucial.

The Luch 5V and Kazsat 3 spacecraft, both manufactured by Russian satellite-builder ISS Reshetnev, launched at 0425 GMT (12:25 a.m. EDT) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.The satellites were mounted on top of a Proton rocket, which roared away from the historic space base at 10:25 a.m. local time. The three-stage Proton booster and Breeze M upper stage put the dual-payload package in a preliminary orbit about 15 minutes later.The launch marked the 396th flight of a Proton rocket since 1965 and the Proton’s third mission of the year. The Proton and Breeze M are built by Moscow-based Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center.The hydrazine-fueled Breeze M upper stage fired several times before releasing Luch 5V at 1317 GMT (9:17 a.m. EDT), followed by deployment of Kazsat 3 about 40 minutes later, according to the Itar-Tass news agency.Read our .

STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: May 19, 2005NASA’s launch team readied the shuttle Discovery today for a second fueling test Friday to help find the cause of two vexing problems that cropped up during a similar test in April. Other shuttle engineers, meanwhile, are assessing a clearance issue between the shuttle’s main Ku-band TV antenna and a new on-orbit inspection boom that could delay the transmission of post-launch images of the ship’s redesigned external tank.As part of NASA’s post-Columbia safety upgrade program, a 50-foot-longboom equipped with a television camera and laser sensors was installed onthe right, or starboard, side of Discovery’s cargo bay. The boom, picked upby the shuttle’s robot arm in orbit, will be used to inspect Discovery’swing leading edge panels and heat shield tiles for any signs of launchimpact damage.The Orbiter Boom Sensor System is located on the right wall of the shuttle’s payload bay. Image: NASA.Just in front of the orbiter boom sensor system, or OBSS, on thestarboard sill of the cargo bay is the shuttle’s Ku-band dish antenna, whichis used to send high-speed data and television signals from the orbiter tothe ground via NASA communications satellites.Once in orbit, the antenna is deployed by swinging it out over the sideof the cargo bay sill so it can lock onto and track the appropriatesatellite. The antenna normally is deployed on the first day of a shuttlemission and in Discovery’s case, flight controllers were counting on aflight day 1 deploy to downlink photographs of the external tank to look forsigns of foam shedding.But an analysis of clearances between the antenna and the OBSS shows thatas the dish swings out, it could come within six tenths of an inch of theforward end of the boom, sources said. And that doesn’t include the boom’sinsulation blankets. That tiny margin could shrink to just three tenths ofan inch in orbit due to thermal issues. The shuttle Atlantis has a similarproblem.No one wants to risk damage to the Ku-band antenna, which is critical tothe conduct of a mission, and NASA managers plan to meet next week toreassess the matter. But neither the boom nor the antenna can be easilyrepositioned. Barring a dramatic change, Discovery’s crew could be forced todelay deployment of the Ku-band antenna until the second day of the mission,after the OBSS has been picked up by the robot arm.While downlink of external tank video and photographs would be delayed byone day, officials said the overall impact would be relatively minor. And itwould not affect transmission of data from new wing leading edge sensorsusing the shuttle’s S-band radio system on flight day 1.The clearance issue could have a more noticeable impact toward the end ofthe mission. Managers are debating two possible options: Stowing the antennabefore Discovery undocks from the international space station or stowing theOBSS prior to undocking and then redeploying it the day before entry tore-stow the antenna. The first option would end normal television from theshuttle for the remainder of the flight while the second option would addcomplexity and additional failure scenarios.Agency officials do not yet know why the clearance issue took so long tocome to light. A contractor analysis earlier this year concluded there wasmore than an inch of clearance and as such, no problem. But measurementscarried out by the astronaut office showed the actual clearance was half theearlier estimate.The shuttle was designed so a robot arm could be installed on either sideof the cargo bay. The OBSS was installed using those pre-existing mountingpoints. In that sense, the clearance problem has been there ever since theshuttle was built. But NASA never mounted anything on that side of the baybefore the OBSS aboard Discovery.The clearance issue is just one of several nagging problems facing theshuttle launch team as it readies Discovery for takeoff on the firstpost-Columbia mission. Launch currently is targeted for July 13, the openingof a window that extends through July 31.Launch had been planned for May 22, but the flight slipped to the Julywindow because of late-breaking concerns about ice formation on the externaltank, and its potential for impact damage during ascent, and because ofproblems that were noticed during a tanking test April 14.During that exercise, two of four fuel depletion sensors, also known asengine cutoff sensors, in the liquid hydrogen tank failed to operateproperly. In addition, a hydrogen pressure relief valve cycled more oftenthan normal.The cutoff sensors are used to make sure the shuttle’s three main enginesdo not run out of hydrogen while running, which would cause a potentiallycatastrophic oxygen-rich shut down. All four sensors are required to beoperational for a countdown to proceed.As for the relief valve, it operated within specification but itsbehavior was clearly unusual and engineers want to understand why. Onepossible explanation involves the operation of a new post-Columbia heaterinstalled at the base of the bipod struts that hold the nose of the shuttleto the tank.NASA managers earlier decided to move Discovery back to the VehicleAssembly Building and attach it to a tank and booster set being prepared forthe second post-Columbia flight. That tank will be equipped with a newheater to ease concerns about ice buildups on an oxygen feedline bellowsassembly.Still unresolved is what to do about potential ice buildups on bracketsnear the top of the tank. Engineers have suggested using infrared spotlightsto prevent or minimize ice formation, but additional tests are required todetermine the plan’s feasibility.In the meantime, NASA managers ordered a second tanking test Friday tocollect additional data before Discovery is moved back to the VehicleAssembly Building. The currently-installed bipod heaters will be on for partof the test and then turned off to find out whether the heaters influencethe operation of the pressure relief valve.Here is a tanking test timeline (all times in EDT):May 1908:00 p.m….Rotating service structure retraction11:30 p.m….Final loading preps begin May 2002:30 a.m….Pad cleared of personnel04:00 a.m….Mission management team meets for go/no-go decision04:30 a.m….Begin a 1-hour built-in hold05:30 a.m….Resume countdown05:30 a.m….Begin propellant line chilldown (fueling begins)08:30 a.m….Fueling complete; stable replenish mode begins08:30 a.m….Begin a 1-hour 45-minute built-in hold10:15 a.m….Resume countdown with bipod heater on01:35 p.m….Countdown is stopped at T-minus 31-second mark01:35 p.m….Recycle countdown to T-minus 20-minute mark01:45 p.m….Resume countdown with bipod heater off02:45 p.m….Final cutoff at T-minus 31-second mark02:45 p.m….Begin propellant drain back and boiloff May 2103:00 p.m….Rotating service structure moved back around shuttleThe launch team plans to test fire one of Discovery’s three auxiliarypower units, which generates the ship’s hydraulic power, on May 23. The nextday – May 24 – the orbiter will be moved back to the Vehicle AssemblyBuilding for attachment to the new tank and boosters on June 7.Discovery’s space station cargo is scheduled to be moved to launch pad39B on June 9 with Discovery following suit on June 14. If all goes well,the shuttle will be ready for launch July 13 as currently planned.But engineers are still debating whether to stage a third tanking test tomake sure the new tank operates normally when loaded with a half-milliongallons of supercold propellants. If a separate, stand-alone test isrequired it likely would be staged around June 22, setting the stage for alaunch attempt around July 19. But some engineers have suggested extendingDiscovery’s countdown and inserting a tanking test a few days before theJuly 13 launch target.A decision on whether to stage a third tanking test is expected earlynext month.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:TEST COUNTDOWN ENDS WITH SIMULATED ENGINE SHUTDOWN VIDEO:WATCH T-9 MINUTES THOUGH POST-ABORT SAFING VIDEO:COMMANDER COLLINS CLIMBS TO HER FLIGHT DECK SEAT VIDEO:ASTROVAN ARRIVES AT PAD; CREW HEADS UP ELEVATOR VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS DEPART QUARTERS FOR LAUNCH PAD VIDEO:CREWMEMBERS DON THEIR LAUNCH SPACESUITS VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS SEATED FOR BREAKFAST TODAY VIDEO:FOOTAGE OF THIS WEEK’S KSC TRAINING Return to Flight mouse pad!This unique 8-inch diameter mouse pad features the insignia for Discovery’s STS-114 mission, the first shuttle flight since the Columbia accident.Choose your store: – – – Ares 1-X PatchThe official embroidered patch for the Ares 1-X rocket test flight, is available for purchase.Apollo CollageThis beautiful one piece set features the Apollo program emblem surrounded by the individual mission logos.Expedition 21The official embroidered patch for the International Space Station Expedition 21 crew is now available from our stores.Hubble PatchThe official embroidered patch for mission STS-125, the space shuttle’s last planned service call to the Hubble Space Telescope, is available for purchase. | | | | 2014 Spaceflight Now Inc.Astronaut Fatalities COMPILED BY WILLIAM HARWOODUpdated: May 23, 2005Download a of this chart.

Is that nitpicking? Not if a hyper-vigilant employee notices that your bag is sticking out of the sizer by one inch, as has happened to me and many others this year, sending you back to a long check-in line and you miss your flight. Not if that $200 or $300 bag you bought last year is now useless because you never, ever check bags. Again, I’m not implying that United’s bag sizers have changed. But here’s a twist: a United spokesperson informed me that they are installing or have installed new bag sizers that will actually measure 23 x 15 x 10 inches. So that is a change for sure, and good news.

Titan’s surface is difficult to study, veiled by a dense hydrocarbon haze that forms in the high stratosphere as methane is destroyed by sunlight. This image is different from previous Titan images by Cassini because it was taken through a special filter, called a polarizer, which is designed to see through the atmosphere to the surface. The superimposed coordinate system grid in the accompanying image at right illustrates the geographical regions of the moon that are illuminated and visible, as well as the orientation of Titan. North is up and rotated 25 degrees to the left. The yellow curve marks the position of the boundary between day and night on Titan. This image shows about one quarter of Titan’s surface, from 0 to 70 degrees West longitude, and just barely overlaps part of the surface shown in the previous Titan image release. Most of the visible surface in this image has not yet been shown in any Cassini image. The image was obtained with the narrow angle camera on June 14, 2004, at a phase, or Sun-Titan-spacecraft, angle of 61 degrees and at a distance of 10.4 million kilometers (6.5 million miles) from Titan. The image scale is 62 kilometers (39 miles) per pixel. The image was magnified by a factor of two using a linear interpolation scheme. No further processing to remove the effects of the overlying atmosphere has been performed. The observed brightness variations are real, on scales of one hundred kilometers or less. The image was obtained in the near-infrared (centered at 938 nanometers) through a polarizing filter. The combination was designed to reduce the obscuration by atmospheric haze. The haze is more transparent at 938 nanometers than at shorter wavelengths, and light of 938 nanometers wavelength is not absorbed by methane gas in Titan’s atmosphere. Light at this wavelength consequently samples the surface, and the polarizer blocks out light scattered mainly by the haze. This is similar to the way a polarizer, put on the front of a lens of a hand-held camera, makes distant objects more clear on Earth. Cassini will conduct a critical 96-minute burn before going into orbit around Saturn on June 30 (July 1 Universal Time), with its first scheduled flyby of Titan on July 2.The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.

Iapetus is one of the moons of Saturn. Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science InstituteDownload larger image version The landslide material appears to have collapsed from a scarp 15 kilometers high (9 miles) that forms the rim of an ancient 600 kilometer (375 mile) impact basin. Unconsolidated rubble from the landslide extends halfway across a conspicuous, 120-kilometer diameter (75-mile) flat-floored impact crater that lies just inside the basin scarp. Landslides are common geological phenomena on many planetary bodies, including Earth and Mars. The appearance of this landslide on an icy satellite with low-brightness cratered terrain is reminiscent of landslide features that were observed during NASA’s Galileo mission on the Jovian satellite Callisto. The fact that the Iapetus landslide traveled many kilometers from the basin scarp could indicate that the surface material is very fine-grained, and perhaps was fluffed by mechanical forces that allowed the landslide debris to flow extended distances. In this view, north is to the left of the picture and solar illumination is from the bottom of the frame. The image was obtained in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow angle camera on Dec. 31, 2004, at a distance of about 123,400 kilometers (76,677 miles) from Iapetus and at a Sun-Iapetus-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 78 degrees. Resolution achieved in the original image was 740 meters (2,428 feet) per pixel. The image has been contrast-enhanced and magnified by a factor of two to aid visibility.

Credit: NASA/JPL/Space Science InstituteDownload larger image version The view is centered on 15 degrees South latitude, and 156 degrees West longitude. Brightness variations across the surface and bright clouds near the south pole are easily seen. The images that comprise the mosaic have been processed to reduce the effects of the atmosphere and to sharpen surface features. The mosaic has been trimmed to show only the illuminated surface and not the atmosphere above the edge of the moon. The Sun was behind Cassini so nearly the full disc is illuminated. Pixels scales of the composite images vary from 2 to 4 kilometers per pixel (1.2 to 2.5 miles per pixel). Surface features are best seen near the center of the disc, where the spacecraft is looking directly downwards; the contrast becomes progressively lower and surface features become fuzzier towards the outside, where the spacecraft is peering through haze, a circumstance that washes out surface features. The brighter region on the right side and equatorial region is named Xanadu Regio. Scientists are actively debating what processes may have created the bizarre surface brightness patterns seen here. The images hint at a young surface with, no obvious craters. However, the exact nature of that activity, whether tectonic, wind-blown, fluvial, marine, or volcanic is still to be determined. The images comprising this mosaic were acquired from distances ranging from 650,000 kilometers (400,000 miles) to 300,000 kilometers (200,000 miles).

Schlesinger added, “In their defense, a lot of these employers are saying, ‘Hey, wait a minute, we were responding to a need. We had a lot of employees who are what we call unbanked.’ About 10 million Americans who just don’t have bank accounts. And they were you saying, ‘Look, we want to use these cards to help these 10 million people. They’re also employees. We’re really good guys.'”

This site was… how do I say it? Relevant!! Finally I have found something that helped me.
Thanks!
