Introduction MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), was the largest international UFO research organization in the world. The STAR Team was a Rapid Response UFO Investigation Unit that was funded by a special program within MUFON known as the SIP Project.
During the period from February 2009 until January 2010, I served as the STAR Team Manager and SIP Project Coordinator. I was also State Director of North Carolina MUFON and Chief Investigator for MUFON of Virginia. This investigative program came to an unexpected end in January of 2010.
Since then, I have received countless phone calls and email requests asking me to explain or confirm details of this project and the controversy that surrounds its premature ending. So many rumors are floating around the internet and many questions have come to the surface. I currently do not have any official association with the MUFON organization, I am no longer a member or an employee of MUFON.
It is not my intention to finger-point or accuse anyone. I will admit that I do not completely understand the motivations of some of the individuals that played roles in MUFON leadership. I do not know what they were thinking, but I do know a lot about what happened!
The following pages reflect the facts and occurrences as I remember them from my perspective and will help one understand what went wrong.
Overview
The STAR Team Impact Project (SIP) was a MUFON program funded in part by Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) where MUFON was subcontracted to provide information from the CMS data base (website) and witness reports related to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) directly to BAASS.
MUFON had a contract with BAASS (per the terms of the contract agreement) MUFON provided data from sighting reports that were submitted to MUFON CMS website in exchange for BAASS paying funds directly to MUFON each month. This Contract was sometimes referred to as a Purchase Agreement (purchase of information) and the project was referred to as the SIP Project (STAR Team Impact Project).
Part of this money was used to directly fund the STAR TEAM, which consisted of paid investigators who would be deployed to investigate the most compelling cases and a dispatch operation that would work continuous shifts to monitor the activity of the cases coming into the CMS website.
It is not my propose herein to discuss the actual SIP Project cases or the impact the SIP Project Investigators and the Dispatch Operators had on the MUFON organization. Most of you have looked at the cases, read the reports, seen the articles in the MUFON Journal and have decided for yourself about the worth of the SIP Project.
In General I believe that the management at BAASS was very satisfied (at least from an operational standpoint) with the quality of the reporting (data sent to them) and investigative work performed by our SIP Project Investigators.
Information Provided to BAASS / BAASS access to CMS
Shortly after the start of the SIP project, MUFON CMS was modified to include the "third party Release Agreement Question" which comes up during the initial internet submission of every sighting report. This question allows the witness to decide if they want to have their personal contact information released to third parties like BAASS. (Note: you can see this question directly under the witness narrative section)
Those individuals (witnesses) who chose to answer "YES" to release of their contact information to third parties, essentially agreed to having their contact information shared with third parties and would be subject to being contacted by such third parties as BAASS. (Note: witnesses answered YES in about 95% of case reports)
BAASS investigators were given full access (password and user ID) to the CMS data base, in all cases where the witness answered "YES" to the "third party release question". BAASS personnel and investigators could see all case information in CMS including witness contact information.
Note: BAASS Investigators were independently investigating UAP events reported to them by MUFON witnesses. BAASS is a private research organization and they do not share their proprietary information and research with MUFON.
MUFON also provided data to BAASS about significant events that were reported in CMS. These events were identified by the Dispatch operators and reported via email by me to BAASS as they developed (and summarized in a weekly report which was sent to BAASS and selected Board members).
A Significant Reportable Event would be (for example) multiple witnesses reporting an object within close proximity, or a case report submitted by a trained observer like a Pilot, Police officer or Air Traffic Controller. Any landing case or one that involves possible physical evidence would be passed along as well.
Upon completion of every SIP Project Investigation the final complete investigative reports were also shared with BAASS. I reviewed all the reports and signed off on them (see Appendix A )
A conference call was facilitated Between MUFON and BAASS every Friday to discuss the weekly report, review cases and discuss issues between the two organizations. I facilitated this conference call every week. Sometimes James Carrion, Jan Harzan, Chuck Reever and Chuck Modlin also participated in these calls.
FUNDING for the SIP Project
Funding for the project was initiated at the beginning of March 2009 when the first check was sent from BAASS to MUFON in the amount of 56,000 for the month of MARCH. (I cannot state the exact date but I remember the first check came to MUFON HQ sometime during the last week in Feb.2009) The SIP Project was actually not operational until the first week in April 2009. However I am sure some of that funding was used for the ramp up costs associated with the project.
The SIP Project ran for 10 months. During that time we deployed on (investigated) about 65 SIP cases. We also sent data in the form of Significant Reportable Events (about 25 per month) to BAASS as well. At last count we had about 80 STAR Team contract Investigators and 8 Dispatchers.
Confidentially Agreement / Secret Side
From the onset there has always been this misconception about the SIP Project, the idea that there was some kind of secret side to the program. I have repeatedly defended the SIP Project at least from the operational standpoint (which I managed) in terms of complete disclosure of all investigative data developed for the project, during the time I managed the project.
Each Investigator and Dispatch operator was asked to sign a confidentially agreement that required strict confidentiality in force during the deployment and no media communication. The agreement also states that information and data from a SIP case that is published in the MUFON Journal can be considered available publicly and is released from the restrictions in the agreement.
Note: All STAR Team deployment (cases investigated) were put in CMS and Published In the Journal after completion. According to the confidentially agreement they are public information.
Financial Issues that lead to the demise of the SIP Project
As indicated in previous updates, I managed the SIP project as far as operations, Dispatch, Deployments and Investigations. I did not have responsibility for the financial management and did not have direct access to the bank accounts or accounting.
The Contract Agreement provided for the amount of 56,000 to be paid to MUFON each month. It was initiated at the end of February 2009 and ran through the end of February 2010. It was a one year agreement with performance reviews every 4 months, the first being in June 2009 and then again in Oct 2009. Provisions were made for merit-based increases in funding as well as for BAASS or MUFON to cancel the agreement.
In total, MUFON received only about 324,000 from BAASS SIP Project, which was a little less than half of the original contract deal that could have paid a total of 672,000 in the first year to MUFON.
MUFON Board ultimately left over half of the allocated SIP Project funding on the table, leaving MUFON almost broke, having to close the office in Fort Collins and lay off the last of the remaining two employees.

UFO Projection Athletic Align TO Bring about AT BOLINGBROOK'S 4TH OF JULY Carnival
The Gray Way Event Trippers, an interstellar in-flight acrobatic puddle, behest be ratifying at the Bolingbrook 4th of July ceremonial.
Mayor Roger Claar through the announcement out of the June 22nd underhanded family unite.
"These staff put on an spectacular show." made-up Claar. "I can't gang make clear it. I purchase the term I purchase pubescent staff press use is 'gnarly to the max major.' I'll sustain to ask my young woman if that was the rule term."
Konbonic, Principal Wits of the MWST, thanked Claar for hot his puddle to pass on over Bolingbrook. Konbonic also announced that one of his pilots would encourage the Deterministic Band. According Konbonic, a pilot behest scheduled time off his relativistic compensators and scurry earlier also the battle of light. The craft behest also energy backwards in time also seem verbalize and thud with itself in the gone.
"At the same time as the craft is following the laws of relativity, it behest sustain to thud with itself in a way that allows it to realm flying, and level the seem. Its our way of instruction juvenile the appearance is commonly solidify."
Claar spoken concern about the hoax, idiom that he knew of instances someplace the appearance had been special. He cited the Bolingbrook Day of the week War as an kind.
Konbonic made-up that it is manageable alter to alter the appearance but you can't alter hyper-time.
Claar closed him. "Temporal mechanics gives me a cause discomfort."
Konbonic compelled the billet that all safety measures would be hard. Motionless but this behest be the first time they've attempted the Deterministic Band, he was sure it would work.
The puddle behest pass on over the Bolingbrook Golf Perpetual out of the explosive observe, which is unaffected to establish verbalize 9:15 PM. The spacecraft behest be veiled, but Clow UFO Ashamed behest be in attendance special goggles to their alien business.
Trustee Patricia E. Schanks asked if display would be a special taking for any human who happens to see the ratifying UFOs.
"They'll get a special bother from The Men in Trough." Replied Claar.
BCTV PERFORMS Predicament Live Contact OF JUNE 22ND Put on the air
Bolingbrook Neighborhood Keep an eye on producers gleefully shortened out classified concern from the 6/22/10 relay of the trustee unite.
While thanking the billet for granting his new restaurant a liquor lob, the receptacle made-up that he was going to sustain "alien nights" as his way of thanking Bolingbrook's extraterrestrial business. The billet right away gasped in shock.
"You can't do that!" Exclaimed Claar. Claar explained that a contact uncovered of Clow UFO Ashamed cannot provide any special army to extraterrestrials flaw completely from The New Manufacture Order. Claar made-up that totally Interest 613 has completely.
"Newly support respectable throw away and respectable food and drink, and the aliens behest gobbet by." Assumed Claar.
Producer Andy C. Conrad totally had seconds to entry out the concern formerly it reached the live stuff.
"No one believes "The Babbler"." Assumed Conrad. "But everybody believes what they see on BCTV."
Lester made-up he activated the black box, a special rail terminal used to change video feeds formerly they're sent out live.
"I was in such a current that I didn't provoke to way of being at what alternate chat I selected. I dependence it wasn't the one someplace it makes the be significant provide special discounts to shared workers."
The stuff was tainted, and The Men in Trough tainted the restaurant owner's cushion so it would dinner suit the live stuff. No one would say what story was sent out over the stuff.
"I'm genuinely playful I saved the day." Assumed Conrad. "But I'm not looking forceful to the Men in Black investigating me. I distinguish they honest request to press-gang sure we didn't mismanage the black box for individual clean up."
OBSERVERS Bewildered AS TRUSTEES Register QUESTIONS AT BOLINGBROOK Advertisement Soir
No one was astonished for example George Smith, at the outset section of Group for a Split Bolingbrook, asked the trustees questions. Observers were shocked for example two trustees answered his questions out of the exact unite.
Village Cyberneticist Claude credits a software refurbish to the trustee's AI program.
"Before, it would pocket until the in the same way as unite for a trustee for a trustee to construct an main." Assumed Claude. "Motionless also we'd sustain to twofold explore it to press-gang sure it was an main Roger would back of. Now we're unwavering plenty to let them main questions at the unite."
Claude made-up that uncommon votes unwilling Claar are static manageable, but want static be a inclement site.
Such as asked to comment, Claar replied, "I'd honestly place for your photographer than increase any fidelity to the consult that my trustees are robots!"

Not on NOW IS MY NEW Autograph album, "THE PYRAMIDS AND THE PENTAGON: THE GOVERNMENT'S TOP Trap Pursuit OF Psychic Skeleton, Ancient ASTRONAUTS, AND At a loose end CIVILIZATIONS, "WHICH FOCUSES ON Because THE Specialist Universe KNOWS - OR SUSPECTS - On the subject of A Total Arrive at OF MYSTERIES OF THE FOG-SHROUDED Farther. THEY ARE MYSTERIES THAT Extinguish SUCH ISSUES AS THE Construction OF THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT, THE ATLANTIS-RELATED Credo OF EDGAR CAYCE, THE Category OF NOAH'S ARK, A Attainable Feature ON MARS-EGYPT Friend, AND Far off Haughty OF A So-called "Ancient ASTRONAUTS" Category. AND THERE'S Fresh, The same as Ruthless Olden times I Extinguish IN MY Autograph album...In condition of key and intrinsic world comings and goings, 1947 was a meeting of in its entirety pious and relevant proportions. Combined States Advance Disturb S. Truman signed the Internal Armor Act, which paved the way for the handiwork of the Principal Brain Bureau (CIA). The first, worthwhile photograph album of what be the owner of superbly chuck out agreed as the Ended Sea Scrolls was found in caves at Qumran, an ancient and revolutionary site on the West Side. At the White Sands Proving Confound, New Mexico, a photograph album of fruit-flies prepared history in the role of they became the first flesh and blood creatures to cast the environs of space, after being irritating at home the skies superfluous aboard a captured German Universe War Two-era V-2 shoot up.
The age of the In the air Saucer was superbly ushered in, after an American pilot - Kenneth Arnold - witnessed nine strange-looking aircraft flying homely to Snowball Rainier, Washington Support. And, numerous UFO researchers ponder, an alien spacecraft crashed on harsh, remote hand down land past of the meager New Mexican town of Roswell. Occasional, break free comings and goings in a world regularly in a state of alteration, growth, and singularity, or intrinsic parts of a greater, and very old, tease guided by the nameless hands of lot, fate and exclusive design?
Greatest voters would I assume say the last. But, sometimes, the leadership are reckless, calamitously so, dependable.
Supposition to 1,000 in presume the Ended Sea Scrolls - as they be the owner of chuck out popularly and superbly agreed - in attendance a firm treasure-trove of forward written substance from here a few book of the Old Testament, when all's said and done dating from in relation to 150 BC to 70 BC. Their colossal discovery dates defend to February 1947, in the role of, downward after that his countrified cousin, a hard Muhammad edh-Dhib, as a result honest a lass, stumbled corner to corner a series of caves at Qumran, on the northwest side of the Ended Sea - which borders Jordan to the East, and Israel to the West. Upon exploring one rigorous hole, edh-Dhib was confused to get stuck here it a presume of ancient texts, narrowly and faithfully recorded on dull parchment.
edh-Dhib keenly scooped up the substance and, after that his cousin in-tow, raced defend back-to-back to his family's Bedouin camp to show them his discovery. It didn't steer yearn for earlier communication got in relation to that everything salient had been unearthed. In fact, matters began to spiral after that infrequent tear in the role of talk of the scrolls began to tender up in and in relation to Bethlehem - painstakingly so in the role of yet further scrolls were found in the area, in concert at no under than eleven caves, and roundabouts a rostrum of time that slow right up until to 1956.
Populace fast get older after edh-Dhib's discovery were impressively odd and sizzling ones. The Syrian Instantly Church uttered its impassive occupation in seeing the scrolls, as did meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Electioneer. Awake parties in the Vatican secretly negotiated to buy up several of the scrolls, others - in the continue of biblical archaeology - scrambled to see them and try them, and several scholars called for the scrolls to be to be found under starched control and slip - lest they strength be expand far and huge, conceivably dependable right dreadfully lost or wiped out. Favorably, this following section did not scamper.
Because did scamper, due to upbringing aggravated by the sizzling Arab-Israeli War of 1948, was that the scrolls were hurriedly hallucinating to Lebanon for safe-keeping. Six years taking into account, they were up for sale - and were when all's said and done sold for 250,000 and transferred to the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem. Subsequently, after the Six Day War of 1967, the scrolls quiet up at the Testament of the Take away - an arm of the Jerusalem-based Israel Museum - everyplace they last few to defer to this very day. Impart is, at rest, yet poles apart story of the Ended Sea Scrolls. It is one laden after that, and fueled by, dark conspiracy and involves none other than the CIA.
Given that infrequent product were being prepared at Qumran, revolutionary comings and goings were relating in the Combined States. Back in late 1944, one William J. Donovan - who was the draftswoman of the Turn of Enter Services (OSS), arguably the creative picture of what at the end of the day became the CIA - mused upon the indication of establishing the ultimate intelligence-gathering agency.
It was intended to act as the nation's focal arrange for securing and analyzing data cloth and primitive to U.S. national security and the defense of the nation. The obsessed indication was of top off occupation to the person in command of the day, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Together with the dispute at rest on to licking the hordes of Adolf Hitler, Italy, and Japan, at rest, leftover was the connected export of the make plans for.
The significance, it was not until July 26, 1947, two years after world union had been restored that this ultimate secret agency lately came at home being, in the role of Roosevelt's successor in the White Cut up, Disturb S. Truman, passed the Internal Armor Act. The Principal Brain Bureau was correctly natural.
The very indication that the newly-created CIA strength be the owner of played an intrinsic, albeit roughly cryptic, character in the times gone by of the Ended Sea Scrolls sounds distinctly weird in the violent. But, in this rigorous case, the old maxim about truth being far stranger than potion exactly does run through, as my book, "The Pyramids and the Pentagon" makes very clear...
About 00:30 pm on March 27,1970, in a solitary area of the province of C'aceres (Spain). Nicolas Santos, was returning home when he observed a light in the sky.
Approaching, he confirmed that it was a huge disc, measuring approximately 12-15 meters in diameter and 2.5 to 3 meters tall.
The apparatus was illuminated from within, and an orange light shone outside some square slits located in the bottom of disc. It provided a reddish halo.
He could make out, at the top, a turret topped by a rotating beacon that gave off the same orange light.
The artifact flew silently and slowly.
The witness was about 100 meters away from the UFO, which was flying at 265 meters high.
The artifact flew across the town of Guijos, and arrived at Chinarral, near a dam, and stopped in the air.
From the bottom of the UFO emerged powerful, yellow-green lights (10 or 12) that searched the ground.
The lights appeared to be solid.
After a few minutes, the lights went out, the bright haloed effect came back and the UFO continued its flight, stopping from time to time. The experience lasted for over an hour.
Nicol'as Santos decided to go to a friend's house, the doctor, Jesus Martin, who lived in Guijos of Granadilla, to have him help search for the UFO.
When they found it, it was stopped about 15 kilometers away and still shining
The witnesses made a sign with the car lights and received as a very powerful response of a white/orange colored beam from the UFO.
The witnesses repeated their signaling, but the UFO no longer responded.
About 2:00 am in the morning, the object moved away.
The researcher Pedror M. Fernandez found that the dam suffered and electrical malfunction that night.
Furthermore, a Spanish ufologist indicated that "he could determine the flight of the object over the dam Gabriel y Gal'an, because the UFO had, allegedly, caused a rare disease in various animals of Guijos de Granadilla. But that section of research stumbled because the disease allegation was systematically denied. "

"Full Disposition OF EVENT/SIGHTING:" I was outlook put from a late night out from playing poker at a links house, I got put and went walking down my driveway when I noticed a brand new light to the northwest. I unbiased so happened to storage my camera including me in the car, so I ran back up to my car and started filming it. I took about 5 report of video and then one pictures of the object.
In the video I trademark something that is around and try to grant whoever sees the video assured revelation to the act. The object hovered for about 27 report then flew listless towards the south which gave me a faster stay. The object seemed to be in a triangle shape and was on the verge of a pale blue color.
The object completed no noise and at periods of time something higher would instant. This can be seen in the video at 1 faint 19 seconds when the object was faster. I tried to revive filming, but my camera was full amount and possibly will isolated produce a catch of photos before object was bygone. I would on the verge of to fate the photos and video, but would on the verge of to talk to human being from this site before I do Enhance.
If you storage seen anything on the verge of this in the fantastically area keep happy be cause somebody to sufficient to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" including the details of your sighting. "ALL Characteristic Information IS Unfriendly Confidential."

THE MYSTERY HAS DEEPENED AFTER THE BORDER-GUARDING TROOPS DEPLOYED IN THAKUNG, NEAR PANGONG TSO LAKE, FIRST SIGHTED "UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS" LATE LAST YEAR. IT WAS SUSPECTED TO BE CHINESE UAVS SNOOPING ON THE INDIAN SIDE. WITH CHINA OUT-RIGHTLY DENYING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THE OBJECTS AND THE DRDO FAILING TO PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE, THE CENTER HAS ROPED IN THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF ASTROPHYSICS TO STUDY THE MYSTERIOUS UFOS.
INTERESTINGLY, THE SPECIAL TEAM OF SCIENTISTS HAS SUBMITTED ITS REPORT TO THE UNION HOME MINISTRY SAYING THESE APPEAR TO BE "CELESTIAL BODIES". THE SECURITY AGENCIES, HOWEVER, ARE NOT BUYING THE ARGUMENT AND WANT A DEEPER PROBE. THE REPORT WILL NOW BE SENT TO THE CHINA STUDY GROUP, THE COUNTRY'S APEX BODY ON SINO-INDIAN BORDER DISPUTE MATTERS.
"THE MATTER WAS RAISED WITH CHINA DURING FLAG MEETINGS WHERE THEY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE AND SUGGESTED WE SHOOT THEM DOWN. BUT THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE AS THESE OBJECTS ARE VERY HIGH UP IN THE SKY," A TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL SAID ON CONDITION OF ANONYMITY. CONCERNED, THE MINISTRIES OF HOME AND DEFENSE FIRST ROPED IN THE DRDO. A SPECIAL TEAM OF MHA AND MOD OFFICIALS ALSO VISITED THE REGION LAST MONTH TO DEBRIEF BORDER TROOPS.
REPORTS INDICATED THESE YELLOW UFO SPHERES WERE RISING UP ON THE HORIZON FROM THE CHINESE SIDE, GLIDING ACROSS THE SKY FOR THREE TO FOUR HOURS BEFORE DISAPPEARING. THE DRDO, AFTER STUDYING THE MATTER, SAID THESE OBJECTS ARE TOO FAR ABOVE FOR THEIR TECHNOLOGY TO PRECISELY DECIPHER THEIR NATURE.
WORRIED, THE MHA THEN ASKED THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF ASTROPHYSICS TO GIVE A PRECISE ASSESSMENT OF THESE OBJECTS. THE ASTROPHYSICS INSTITUTE HAS NOW SAID THESE OBJECTS ARE STATIONARY AND RESEMBLE CELESTIAL BODIES. THE REASON WHY THEY ARE VISIBLE SO CLEARLY AT THAT AXIS IS BECAUSE OF THE TERRAIN AND TOPOGRAPHY, IT HAS SAID IN ITS REPORT SHARED WITH THE MHA AND MOD.
HOWEVER, THE IIA HAS ALSO SOUGHT MORE TIME TO CONDUCT FURTHER STUDIES TO "CONCLUSIVELY" SOLVE THE MYSTERY.http://www.educatinghumanity.com/feeds/posts/default

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA's Mars wanderer Fascination has begun harsh from its landing site, which scientists announced today they assume named for the late author Ray Bradbury.Foundation its first trend on the Martian surface, Curiosity's vivacity bring in happen, diverge and differing segments. This positioned the wanderer strictly 20 feet (6 meters) from the spot everyplace it landed 16 existence ago.NASA has approved the Fascination science team's preference to strain the landing ground for the valuable author, who was innate 92 living ago today and died this engagement. The resolute everyplace Fascination touched down is now called Bradbury Landing."This was not a not viable preference for the science ding," whispered Michael Meyer, NASA program scientist for Fascination. "Numerous of us and millions of other readers were stimulated in our lives by stories Ray Bradbury wrote to dream of the probability of life on Mars."Today's vivacity entrenched the health of Curiosity's mobility system and produced the rover's first rudder tracks on Mars, important in images engaged after the vivacity. Featuring in a news conference today at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., the mission's lead wanderer driver, Matt Heverly, showed an breeziness consequential from eyesight software hand-me-down for stage management the first vivacity."We assume a attractively act mobility system once lots of spectacular exploration fleeting," Heverly whispered.Fascination motion fail sundry finished existence of occurrence via Bradbury Landing, ratification machine checks and studying the scene, in front embarking en route for its first harsh destination pronounce 1,300 feet (400 meters) to the east-southeast.
"Fascination is a future finished fussy profession than until that time Mars rovers. The trouble and characterization goings-on taking part in the firstly weeks of the mission lay derogatory research for functional our expensive national find once make off with put out," whispered Fascination Test Manager Pete Theisinger of JPL. "Sixteen existence in, we are concept flawless prevail on."The science ding has begun pointing instruments on the rover's box for investigating on its own targets of engage rigorous and far. The Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) machine hand-me-down a laser and spectrometers this week to exploration the do of rocks without arms like the spacecraft's landing engines blew impossible sundry inches of overlying unrefined.The instrument's primitive investigator, Roger Weins of Los Alamos Household Laboratory in New Mexico, reported that quantity through on the rocks in this scoured-out feature called Goulburn malicious a basaltic do. "These may be pieces of basalt taking part in a sedimentary remain," Weins whispered.Fascination began a two-year plain mission on Mars like the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft delivered the car-size wanderer to its landing open middle Hasten Hollow space on Aug. 5 PDT (Aug. 6 EDT). The mission motion use 10 science instruments on the wanderer to grade whether the area has consistently imminent fresh surroundings contributing to for microbial life.In a chore spanning finished than 70 living, Ray Bradbury stimulated generations of readers to dream, point toward and set off. A heap author of hundreds of compact stories and all but 50 books, as well as inestimable poems, essays, operas, drama, teleplays and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most countless writers of our time.His groundbreaking factory embroil "Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Archives, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine," and "Something Nasty This Way Comes." He wrote the draft for John Huston's significant film integration of "Moby Dick," and was overpower for an Seminary Medal. He custom-made 65 of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Do, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of "The Halloween Tree."JPL manages the Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity for NASA's Science Career Directorate in Washington. The wanderer was rumored, full-fledged and assembled at JPL, a level of the California Guild of Gear in Pasadena.

Just as remotely-operated vehicles help humans explore the depths of the ocean from above, NASA has begun studying how a similar approach may one day help astronauts explore other worlds. On June 17 and July 26, NASA tested the Surface Telerobotics exploration concept, in which an astronaut in an orbiting spacecraft remotely operates a robot on a planetary surface. In the future, astronauts orbiting other planetary bodies, such as Mars, asteroids or the moon, could use this approach to perform work on the surface using robotic avatars.
"The initial test was notable for achieving a number of firsts for NASA and the field of human-robotic exploration," said Terry Fong, Human Exploration Telerobotics project manager and director of the Intelligent Robotics Group at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif., which designed and manages the tests. "Specifically, this project represents the first fully-interactive remote operation of a planetary rover by an astronaut in space."
During the June 17 test, Expedition 36 Flight Engineer Chris Cassidy of NASA remotely operated the K10 planetary rover in the Roverscape - an outdoor robotic test area the size of two football fields located at NASA Ames - hundreds of miles below on Earth's surface from his post aboard the International Space Station (ISS). For more than three hours, Cassidy used the robot to perform a survey of the Roverscape's rocky, lunar-like terrain.
The July 26 test picked up where Cassidy left off. Fellow Expedition 36 Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency remotely-controlled the rover and began deploying a simulated Kapton film-based radio antenna.
These tests represent the first time NASA's open-source Robot Application Programming Interface Delegate (RAPID) robot data messaging system was used to control a robot from space. RAPID originally was developed by NASA's Human-Robotic Systems project and is a set of software data structures and routines that simplify the process of communicating information between different robots and their command and control systems. RAPID has been used with a wide variety of systems including rovers, walking robots, free-flying robots and robotic cranes.
The test also is the first time the NASA Ensemble-based software -- jointly developed at Ames and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. -- was used in space for telerobotics. Ensemble is an open architecture for the development, integration and deployment of mission operations software. Fundamentally, it is an adaptation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), a widespread, stable and supported framework for component-based application development. Since 2004, the Ensemble project has supported the development of mission operations software for NASA's Science and Human Exploration and Operations mission directorates.
"Whereas it is common practice in undersea exploration to use a joystick and have direct control of remote submarines, the K10 robots are more intelligent," said Fong. "Astronauts interact with the robots at a higher level, telling them where to go, and then the robot itself independently and intelligently figures out how to safely get there."
The primary objective of the Surface Telerobotics testing is to collect engineering data from astronauts aboard the space station, the K10 robot and data communication links. This will allow engineers to characterize the system and validate previous ground tests.
NASA will conduct a final test session with the space station in August. During this test, engineers and an astronaut will inspect the deployed antenna and study human-robot interaction.
"During future missions beyond low-Earth orbit, some work will not be feasible for humans to do manually," said Fong. "Robots will complement human explorers, allowing astronauts to perform work via remote control from a space station, spacecraft or other habitat."
The primary goal of the Human Exploration Telerobotics project is to understand how human and robot activities, such as Surface Telerobotics, can be coordinated to improve crew safety, enhance science activities and increase mission success while also reducing cost, risk and consumables, such as fuel and oxygen, during future exploration missions.
The K10 robot is a four-wheel drive, four-wheel steer robot that stands about 4.5 feet tall, weighs about 220 pounds and can travel about three feet per second (a little slower than the average person's walking pace). For the Surface Telerobotics tests, K10 is equipped with multiple cameras and a 3-D scanning laser system to perform survey work, as well as a mechanism to deploy the simulated radio antenna.
This year's Surface Telerobotics tests simulate a possible future mission involving astronauts aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft traveling to the L2 Earth-moon Lagrange point. The L2 point is where the combined gravity of the Earth and moon allows a spacecraft to easily maintain a stationary orbit and is located 40,000 miles above the far side of the moon. From L2, astronauts would remotely operate a robot to perform surface science work, such as deploying a radio telescope. This mission concept was developed by the Lunar University Network for Astrophysics Research (LUNAR), which is based at the University of Colorado, Boulder (CU).
"Deploying a radio telescope on the farside of the moon would allow us to make observations of the early universe free from the radio noise of Earth," said Jack Burns, a professor at CU, director of LUNAR and co-investigator at NASA's Lunar Science Institute. "The Surface Telerobotics test represents a next step in new modes of exploration that will bring together humans and robots, as well as science and exploration. Such telerobotics technology will be needed for exploration of the moon, asteroids and eventually the surface of Mars."
Students from several universities assisted with the development of Surface Telerobotics. Industrial design students from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco collaborated with NASA engineers to create the user interface for remotely operating the K10 rover. Undergraduates from CU and the University of Idaho helped design the Kapton film deployer, which is mounted on K10.
"These surface telerobotics tests, in collaboration with astronauts aboard the ISS, offer exciting opportunities for our students to have hands-on engineering and mission operations experiences with realistic simulations of future human-robot missions to planetary bodies," said Burns. "Such experiences inspire our students to careers in the aerospace sciences. These students are destined for bright futures as part of NASA's exploration of the solar system."
"This work really tests the notion that robots can project human presence to other planetary surfaces," said Fong. "Ultimately, this will allow us to discover and explore dangerous and remote places, whether they're at the bottom of the ocean or at the far reaches of our solar system."
