Johns Hopkins APL has appointed Eric Bohn as head and Lora Suther as assistant head of its Information Technology Service Department.

The contract, which also includes an option for an additional 5-year extension, covers Laboratory research and development and specialized engineering.

This was the first of two developmental flight tests aimed at proving the missile’s guidance and control, navigation, aerodynamics and communications systems.

Called the Next Generation Sensor Initiative (NGSI), the new service is free for subscribers and promises to speed the advance of sensor technology in fields ranging from biochemical detection and chemical analysis to food processing and energy flow.

For this national event, middle and high school students from eight states competed against their respective peers by using their math and science knowledge to design a balsa wood glider that could travel long distances.

The award noted Farrar’s contributions to Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems-based (MEMS) thermal control systems for the 2004 NASA Space Technology-5 mission.

CONTOUR will orbit Earth until Aug. 15, when it’s scheduled to fire its main engine and enter a comet-chasing orbit around the sun.

The launch of NASA’s Comet Nucleus Tour (CONTOUR) spacecraft aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket has been postponed to no earlier than Wednesday, July 3.

The Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), originally conceived by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, reached a significant milestone recently when the Department of Defense announced its approval for fleetwide acquisition and fielding of the ship-based capability.

A team led by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, successfully conducted the first-ever ground test of a full-scale, fully integrated hypersonic cruise missile engine using conventional liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
