Air Force Special Operations Command wants flying box for variety of operations

By JIM THOMPSON | Northwest Florida Daily News | Published: February 27, 2021 HURLBURT FIELD (Tribune News Service) Air Force Special Operations Command, headquartered at Hurlburt Field, could get a scaled-down version of an existing glider for unspecified U.S. operations, according to recent contract announcements. Outside of the formal contract announcements, though, AFSOC itself is indicating that it generally sees the glider as a very efficient and flexible way to conduct stand-off airdrop resupply (getting supplies to troops without having to be directly over a target area), according to an email responding to a Daily News query on the command s plans for the glider.

George R Carruthers, Principal Designer of a Telescope That Went to The Moon, Dead At 81

By Victor Omondi George R. Carruthers, an astrophysicist and engineer, who designed a telescope used by astronauts on the moon as part of the Apollo 16 mission in 1972, is dead at 81 years. The mission was NASA’s attempt to examine Earth’s atmosphere and the composition of interstellar space. Dr. Carruthers had developed an interest in space science from an early age and managed to build his first telescope at 10-years of age. Virtually, his entire career was spent at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington. In 1969, NASA posted what was termed as “an announcement of opportunity” towards the start of designing experiments for Apollo space flights. It’s this year that he began his project on his Apollo telescope. He later received a patent for an-Image Converter for Detecting Electromagnetic Radiation Especially in Short Wave Lengths -in November of 1969.
