... Even though the DoD would ultimately select senior Air Force officials, US Navy oceanographers and Air Weather Service officers as shuttle payload specialists, MSEs would be the first personnel from an American military programme to go into space. ... One Air Force officer, Maj. ... Jacobson was concerned about shuttle launch delays and wanted the MSEs to understand that his mission, i.e., the launch of national security payloads, dwarfed their mission, flights in space by Air Force personnel. ...

... We present a new method of the ionospheric irregularity investigation based on using of temporal structure function of the phase of the vertical sounding signal. ... Theoretical relation between structure functions of the phase variations and the irregularities can be obtained in the framework of a simple model of frozen irregularity horizontal drift. ... structure function ?? ... The irregularity structure function can be easily calculated if the irregularity spatial spectrum is known. ... Figure 1...
