Simulating Apollo: Flight Simulation Technology 1945-1975
… heart and soul of the NASA system” during the Apollo program. At the intersection of automatic control systems, stability and control, and analog computing, aeronautical engineers developed simulators that functioned as “a fictious airplane in the electrical realm,” permitting real-time …

The Apollo Nuclease Binds To TRF2 and Protects
… a member of this family of enzymes, hSNM1B/Apollo, in complex with the telomere binding proteins TRF2/Rap1. Due to its low abundance at telomeres, we consider Apollo to be a telomere accessory factor, and not part of the core telomere protein complex, shelterin. Apollo localizes to telomeres …

Exploring Beta Cell NADPH production using Organelle-targeted Apollo-NADP+ Sensors
… We previously developed genetically encoded Apollo-NADP+ sensors to track changes in NADPH/NADP+ redox in real time. We targeted Apollo-NADP+ to various organelles to probe whether organelle compartmentalization of NADPH could create disparate impacts on beta cell metabolism. We demonstrated …

Space Race: African American Newspapers Respond to Sputnik and Apollo 11
… of Sputnik on October 4, 1957. The second is the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. Space Race investigates how two scientific accomplishments achieved during the Cold War and the civil rights movement stimulated debate within the newspapers, and that ultimately centered around two …

Sharing the Shuttle with America: NASA and Public Engagement after Apollo
… between human space flight and citizens after Apollo 11 culminated. While corroborating the premise that NASA constantly seeks public and political approval for its costly human space programs, I argue that maintaining legitimacy in light of shifting social attitudes, political priorities, and …

Project Apollo, Cold War diplomacy and the American framing of global interdependence
… by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, Project Apollo was established, in large part, as a means of demonstrating American power and promoting technocratic values in an international landscape defined by the Cold War, the collapse of colonialism, and the emergence of newly independent nations. …

Deploying Reinforcement Learning in the Real World: A Case Study on Apptronik Apollo
Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has gained increasing popularity as an approach to achieving dynamic behaviors on legged robots. However, transferring RL behaviors from simulation to reality is a challenging process: imperfect sensors, simulation models, control architecture, and latency all …

Patterns of soil maturation and mixing at the Apollo 16 landing site: surface soils
An analysis of the Apollo 16 surface soil samples is presented in an effort to distinguish the separate effects due to mixing of unlike fines from those attributable purely to regolithic maturation processes. In establishing a background needed to accomplish this task, aspects of large-scale …

The dance of Apollo and Dionysus: The interplay of forces bridging the white viewer and the black dance
… culture by speaking to the deeply pervasive Apollonian and Dionysian impulses that underpin the heart of this philosophical investigation. Particular emphasis will be placed on locating the lures that motivate white individuals to both observe and participate in cross-cultural practices. …

Comparison of Guidance Methods for Autonomous Planetary Lander
… laws are developed and analyzed including Apollo derived, modified Apollo, time efficient and fuel efficient methods. These laws are implemented using two different methods: Apollo approach, and real time. The equations of motion for an arbitrary planetary lander with sloshing fuel and a …

Mechanisms That Ensure the Proper Terminal Structure of Mammalian Telomeres
… I identified a role for the shelterin-associated Apollo nuclease in generating the telomeric overhang at ends synthesized by leading-strand DNA replication. Deletion of Apollo in mouse cells resulted in an overhang defect specifically at leading-end telomeres. Consistent with a requirement for the …
