Is the Sea to Sky Gondola Squamish's Gondola?
The Sea to Sky Gondola plays a vital role in Squamish, B.C.'s tourism ecosystem, and the residents of Squamish are essential stakeholders as customers for the operation. This research applies a stakeholder engagement theory to understand better the perception of the Sea to Sky Gondola to the …

Minimum Energy Control Strategy for an Uninhabited Airship with a Moving Gondola
An airship with a moving gondola is investigated with the goal of achieving a large pitch angle and of minimizing the total energy consumption required to goal position. The airship in this study is equipped with different actuation tools such as a moving gondola and a vectoring thrust, which can …

Projeto de um vagão gondola em alumínio para o transporte de minério
This text describes the design of a gondola car in aluminum using modern computer technics. This wagon aims to the transportation of ore and uses aluminum alloys capable to obtain less weight in its structure comparatively to a similar wagon in steel. There are in this work a general description of …

Application of the finite element method in high-side gondola rail car design
… proposed composite aluminum-steel high-side coal gondola rail car were developed. The designs were analyzed for compliance with the loadings set forth by the Association of American Railroads. Each of the first three designs were analyzed to check design concepts and alternatives with the fourth …

Simulating the EUSO-SPB2 balloon flight train with Lagrangian mechanics
… the Cherenkov telescope induces motion in the gondola. If motion in the gondola exceeds the 0.1\degree resolution requirement, data may be affected. This thesis analyzes and simulates this telescope induced gondola motion to determine if dampening methods are required before data collection …

Studies of the Stratospheric Nitrogen and Iodine Chemistry by Balloon-Borne DOAS Measurements and Model Calculations
… a Fourier Transform Interferometer, sharing the gondola with the DOAS instrument, and with 3-D chemistry model calculations it was possible to investigate the nitrogen chemistry in detail. Large deficits in the model's treatment of the atmospheric transport processes as well as in the …

The Mars Gravity Biosatellite as an innovative partial gravity research platform
… It also features the first custom-designed gondola centrifuge that accommodates up to four singlyhoused rodents in flight-equivalent habitat modules. At a rotation rate of 31.6 rpm, the centripetal acceleration experienced by each animal is less than 1.07-g. The 0.34 m radius of rotation is …

Field Evaluation of Doppler LIDAR Sensors for Early Assessment of Track Instability
… weight of the passing wheels of a heavily-loaded gondola. The track weakness is created by removing the rail spikes from eight consecutive ties. The measurements from the soft sections are compared with a track section on a tangent that is determined to have nominally sufficient ("good") …
