  1. #CAwx #LOX #graphicast
    Potential Impacts:
    High risk of fast moving fast moving grass/shrub fires
    Focused across the interior mountains & valleys, especially I-5 Corridor & Antelope Valley.

    Actions:
    Use extreme caution with anything that can spark a fire.

  2. #CAwx #LOX #graphicast
    Impacts and Actions
    Strong winds will generate large and dangerously steep seas over much of the area.
    Adjust plans NOW to remain in safe harbor over the weekend.

  3. #CAwx #LOX #graphicast
    Risks for active grass and shrub fires, hazardous seas, and power outages.

  4. Tidbit from NWS Los Angeles - for Santa Barbara/SLO

    "...Well above normal temperatures will continue well into next week, and additional Heat Advisories or Extreme Heat Warnings may be needed...."

  5. #NASA demonstrated a small #rocket #engine that burned #methane + #LOX in it’s Project #Morpheus craft, intended to test both the engine and technology to allow for more accurate and safer landings of robotic landers.
    The #CH4 and #LiquidOxygen are stored in the silver-foil covered spheres, with the engine in the middle.

    Congratulations to the United Launch Alliance for their first launch of their #methane LOX powered Vulcan-Centaur.

  6. Today is the anniversary of the #Apollo11 Moon landing!
    At Kennedy #Space Center’s Visitor Complex, it’s possible to visit the #Apollo / Saturn V Center, where a #SaturnV #rocket is on display, with its stages separated.
    These are the 5 J-2 engines that powered the S-II stage that was the second stage on the Saturn V.
    They burned liquid hydrogen (#LH2) and liquid oxygen (#LOX). This high-energy combination of propellants made it much easier for the United States to build a successful #Moon mission, whereas the Soviets were forced to stick with hypergolic fuels or kerosene, making lunar missions impractical.

  7. This is a view of :nasa: #NASA’s #SpaceShuttle #Atlantis’ aft section on display in the #AtlantisMuseum, #KSCVC. #Florida with #OMS pods and 3 replica #SSMEs installed.
    The three Space Shuttle Main #Engines burned liquid hydrogen #LH2 and liquid oxygen #LOX stored in the External Tank to push the #Shuttle into #orbit.
    The OMS helped the #Orbiter enter its final, intended orbit and carry out its mission.
    OMS and the #RCS were both fueled by toxic, but #storable #hypergolic propellants ( #MMH and #N204). These components had to be #decontaminated before displaying them.
