Personal locator beacon finds approval in U.S. [Source: Associated Press; Photo by Freq Of Nature]
by David Ho WASHINGTON - Hikers, mountain climbers, hunters and others who could find themselves lost or hurt will have a new way to call for help: a handheld device that signals the same satellite rescue system that has watched over pilots and boaters for two decades. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which runs the rescue system, plans to announce the new program today. The "personal locator beacons" will be available to the public starting July 1 and will cost $300 or more. "We're going to see a lot of usage among those who spend a lot of time in the outdoors, who go into really remote places where cell phones just don't work," said Lt. Daniel Karlson, a NOAA spokesman. Karlson said outdoor outfitters will sell or rent the beacons. People taking long car trips would be better off with cell phones, he said, but they also could carry beacons in case emergencies occur where phones don't work. The beacon sends an electronic SOS to satellites, which relay the distress call through an NOAA control center in Suitland, Md., outside Washington. NOAA then contacts local rescuers. more...

Minuteman II Missile Launch Photos [Source: Freq Of Nature]  UPDATE - Photos of a Minuteman II Missile Launch have been posted to Freq Of Nature. A Minuteman II missile was launched from Vandenberg Airforce Base at 7:00 PM carrying a dummy war head to a target in the central pacific were it would be intercepted as part of the anti-ballistic missile program. These photos were taken from the Ronald Regan Library in Simi Valley, which was quite fitting since the target location for the missile was the Ronald Reagan Missile Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. |
