NASA's Hyper-X Program Manager Vince Rausch talks about the X-43 [ http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/X-43A/index.html ] from his office at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. |
| Project Description |
Vincent L. Rausch was named Hyper-X Program Manager and started working at NASA Langley Research Center in July 1996. He is responsible for the overall execution of the joint Langley ? NASA Dryden Flight Research Center Hyper-X program which will flight-validate the performance of an airframe-integrated supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) engine installed on an X-43 research aircraft [ http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/X-43A/index.html ]. Mr. Rausch joined the NASA Headquarters Office of Aeronautics in 1991 as the Assistant Director for Aeronautics (High-Performance Aircraft). In this capacity, he coordinated NASA high-performance aircraft programs with the Department of Defense. In 1992, he was appointed Director for National Aero-Space Plane (NASP) and served as the agency focal point for NASA involvement in the DOD ? NASA NASP program. In 1995, as Director, Inter-Enterprise Operations, he coordinated Aeronautics Enterprise activities with the other NASA enterprises (Space Science, Earth Science, and Human Exploration and Development of Space). Before retiring as a colonel from the U.S. Air Force in 1991, Mr. Rausch spent three years as the first Director of the NASP Inter-Agency Office (NIO) in the Pentagon. His NIO responsibilities included the DOD portion of the NASP budget, congressional liaison, and day-to-day coordination with NASA. From 1986 to 1988, he served in the NASP Joint Program Office (JPO) at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. His positions included acting Program Manager, Director of Program Operations, and Director of Systems Applications. From 1982 to 1986, while assigned to the Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD), at Wright-Patterson AFB, he directed the Transatmospheric Vehicle (TAV) program which examined single- and two-stage-to-orbit military spaceplanes. He also led ASD participation in the Copper Canyon program, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency-funded effort which established the feasibility of the NASP. His Strategic Air Command operational experience includes over 3,000 hours in the B-52 and 56 combat missions. Mr. Rausch is the recipient of the Air Force Legion of Merit, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, Air Medal (with two oak leaf clusters), Air Force Commendation Medal (with one oak leaf cluster) and a NASA Outstanding Service Award. He has a BA from Coe College, Cedar Rapids, IA, and an MBA from Inter-American University, San Germain, PR. He is also a graduate of the Federal Executive Institute, Air War College, Armed Forces Staff College, Air Command and Staff College, and Squadron Officer School. A native of Charlottesville, VA, Mr. Rausch and his wife, Diane, reside in Williamsburg, Virginia. |

| Title |
Pacific Dictates Droughts and Drenchings |
| Original Caption Released with Image |
The latest remote sensing data from NASA's Jason satellite show that the equatorial Pacific sea surface levels are higher, indicating warmer sea surface temperatures in the central and west Pacific Ocean. This pattern has the appearance of La Niña rather than El Niño. This contrasts with the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and U.S. West Coast where lower-than-normal sea surface levels and cool ocean temperatures continue (indicated by blue and purple areas). The image above is a global map of sea surface height, accurate to within 30 millimeters. The image represents data collected and composited over a 10-day period, ending on Jan 23, 2004. The height of the water relates to the temperature of the water. As the ocean warms, its level rises, and as it cools, its level falls. Yellow and red areas indicate where the waters are relatively warmer and have expanded above sea level, green indicates near normal sea level, and blue and purple areas show where the waters are relatively colder and the surface is lower than sea level. The blue areas are between 5 and 13 centimeters (2 and 5 inches) below normal, whereas the purple areas range from 14 to 18 centimeters (6 to 7 inches) below normal. The Jason satellite carries a dual-frequency radar altimeter. This instrument beams microwave pulses-at 13.6 and 5.3 Gigahertz, respectively-downward toward the Earth. To determine the ocean's height, the instrument precisely measures the time it takes for the microwave pulses to bounce off the surface and return to the spacecraft. This measure, multiplied by the speed of light, gives the range from the satellite to the ocean surface. (For more details, visit the Jason Website [ http://topex-www.jpl.nasa.gov ].) The joint U.S.-French Topex/Poseidon mission is managed by the JPL for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D.C. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Research on Earth's oceans using Jason and other space-based capabilities is conducted by NASA's Earth Science Enterprise to better understand and protect our home planet.
