Harold Geisler takes Plum Brook reactor critical

description

Summary

Harold Geisler takes Plum Brook reactor critical for the first time on the evening of 14 June 1961. This first self-sustaining chain reaction was conducted at very low power. It wasn't until the following April that the reactor reached its full potential of sixty megawatts. By July 1963, the reactor had completed its first experimental cycle while critical...Image # : C-1961-56899

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In Orbiter Processing Facility 1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, United Space Alliance technicians, lying on a work platform, remove window #8 from the top of the crew module of space shuttle Atlantis. Inspection and maintenance of the crew module windows is standard procedure between shuttle missions. Atlantis is next slated to deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier and Russian-built Mini Research Module to the International Space Station on the STS-132 mission. The second in a series of new pressurized components for Russia, the module will be permanently attached to the Zarya module. Three spacewalks are planned to store spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a boom assembly for the Ku-band antenna and spares for the Canadian Dextre robotic arm extension. A radiator, airlock and European robotic arm for the Russian Multi-purpose Laboratory Module also are payloads on the flight. Launch is targeted for May 14.
