	Little Joe 1A - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This flight, a repeat of the Little Joe 1 (LJ-1) launch, was to test a launch abort under high aerodynamic load conditions.
		After lift-off, the pressure sensing system was to indicate when the correct abort dynamic pressure was reached.
		The motor was ignited, but it took a number of seconds to build up thrust, and thus the abort maneuver was not accomplished at the desired dynamic pressure.

	Threats to Marine Turtles
		It is believed that marine turtles have an extremely high affinity for their nesting beaches, and therefore the loss or reduction of even a single nesting beach can have serious effects.
		Beach nourishment is the practice of adding sand onto a beach to rebuild what has been lost through erosion.
		Beach nourishment affects turtles by direct burial of nests, or by disturbing nesting activity during the nesting season.

		Thus the abort maneuver, the prime mission of the flight, was accomplished at a dynamic pressure that was too low.
		A physiological study of the primate, particularly in areas applying to the effects of the rapid onset of reverse acceleration during abort at maximum dynamic pressure, was also made.
		The signal to initiate the abort maneuver was given; and the launch vehicle-adapter clamp ring was released as intended, but the spacecraft remained on the launch vehicle since the escape motor was already expended.

	Mercury Escape Tower
		An abort test was conducted at Wallops Island on a full-scale model of the spacecraft with the escape tower, using a Recruit escape rocket.
		The malfunction was traced to the loss of a graphite insert from one of the three abort rocket nozzles, which caused a misalignment of thrust.
		The purpose of the instrumentation was to obtain measurement of the vibration and sound environment encountered on the capsule during the firing of the Grand Central abort rocket.

		In the event of a launch abort, the LES fired for 1 second, pulling the Mercury spacecraft away from a defective launch vehicle.
		Some spacecraft were modified after initial production (refurbished after launch abort, modified for longer missions, etc) and received a letter designation after their number, examples 2B, 15B.

		The planned flight, which was intended to orbit an unmanned production spacecraft once around the earth, was terminated about 40 seconds after lift-off by range-safety action when the launch vehicle failed to roll and pitch over into the flight azimuth.
		The spacecraft was aborted successfully as the result of the command signal and was quickly recovered.
		The launch vehicle, Atlas 100-D, had increased skin thickness in the forward end of the lox tank and had the abort sensing and implementation system installed for closed-loop operation.

		Delta airlines spokesperson Pat Kennedy said that traffic control had cleared flight 1206 from Atlanta to West Palm Beach to land even though another aircraft was taking off at the same time on the same runway.
		A supervisor for the Palm Beach County Department of Airports had no details on the near miss.

	A night on the beach ... with some busy turtles \| csmonitor.com
		No cigarette." It's 10 o'clock at night, and we've been stumbling along behind him and his wife, Maria, on the beach in complete darkness for half an hour, hoping that every shadowy form is a giant green sea turtle that has emerged from the Caribbean to lay her eggs on Tortuguero Beach.
		Behind Tortuguero beach is a thick jungle and a national park that are inhabited by 57 species of amphibians, 111 species of reptiles, 60 species of mammals, and more than 300 species of birds.
		Some minutes later, we get the message we've been waiting for: "It's time, she is ready." In the dark we move up the beach, wondering where she is exactly, hesitantly stepping as though we might trip over her.

	The Abort Guidance System
		The AGS doesn't have as commanding a rôle in the history of lunar explanation as does the AGC, because no aborts were ever needed in actual missions.
		Its job was simply to abort the LEM to a "clear" lunar orbit (one that would be higher than any mountain ranges) at which point the crew would wait for rescue from the CM, with its more sophisticated navigation and maneuvering system
		Coincidentally, Apollo 14 was the mission in which a solder ball behind the LM control panel intermittently closed the abort switch, so it was the mission that came closest to needing the abort system.

		The abort sequence was initiated at an altitude of almost 100,000 feet and approximated a possible set o abort conditions that could be encountered during a Mercury-Atlas exit flight to orbit.
		In addition to the first-order objectives, the spacecraft reentry dynamics behavior without a control system was found to be satisfactory.
