	NASA Quest > Space Team Online
		To produce the desired motion, it had to be held as close to the astronaut's center of mass as possible.
		On the Gemini 9 mission, a backpack maneuvering unit was carried.
		The propulsion unit was used to retrieve two communication satellites that did not reach their proper orbit because of faulty propulsion modules.

	More Favored than the Birds The Manned Maneuvering Unit in Space
		Maneuvering is an extravehicular activity independent of the protective and supportive space suit, yet integrated with the suit and even the spacecraft.
		All earlier maneuvering units had been designed for experimental missions, that is to test the technology, but with the reusable Space Shuttle NASA introduced an operational, mission-oriented maneuvering unit —the award-winning manned maneuvering unit (MMU).
		Although maneuvering units were not specifically a part of Project Mercury, the possibilities of maneuvering in space were explored concurrent with the Mercury flights.

	Floppy disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the first microcomputers were being developed in the 1970s, the 8-inch floppy found a place on them as one of the few "high speed, mass storage" devices that were even remotely affordable to the target market (individuals and small businesses).
		With a capacity of 1 MB (MiB), this unit exceeded IBM's drive capacity by 4 times, and was able to provide enough space to run all the software and store data on the new Burrough's B80 data entry system, which incidentally had the first VLSI disk controller in the industry.
		A small notch on the right hand side of the disk would identify whether the disk was read-only or writable, detected by a mechanical switch or photo transistor above it.

		Unit for the measurement of the amount of computer data, usually expressed in the multiples of 1000 (kiloquad), 1 million (megaquad), 1 billion (gigaquad) and occasionally even higher (generic).
		On the other hand, in DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", the transtator is apparently a part of the power system because O'Brien removes one from a panel, which turns off the lights on the deck.
		On the other hand, it is disturbing that such an extremely dangerous technology is commonplace in starships, considering that life in the 24th century is nearly free of risks.

	GPN-2000-001180 - Ed White First American Spacewalker
		For 23 minutes White floated and maneuvered himself around the Gemini spacecraft while logging 6500 miles during his orbital stroll.
		White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23-ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord.
		In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space.

	[No title]
		White was scheduled to use a newly developed suit and a special hand held unit which would allow the astronaut to propel himself while performing maneuvers outside the spacecraft.
		The seven and one half pound maneuvering unit was unstowed and checked.
		It was a difficult maneuver because Ed needed to reach over his head to loosen the bolts with a ratchet.

	Gemini 8
		Secondary objectives included rendezvous and docking during the fourth revolution, performing docked maneuvers using the GATV primary propulsion system, executing 10 experiments, conducting docking practice, performing a rerendezvous, evaluating the auxiliary tape memory unit, demonstrating controlled reentry, and parking the GATV in a 220-nautical mile circular orbit.
		Stationkeeping maneuvers preceded docking, which was accomplished at 6 hours 33 minutes ground elapsed time.
		Here was a case where the fail-safe maneuvers that Headquarters had insisted on early in the program were impossible - there was virtually no maneuverability left in the orbital thrusters.

	Good Deal Games - Classic Videogame FAN FICTION Gyruss: From Neptune to Earth Chapter 4: Saturn: Enter, The Dogs of War
		Saturn was one of the major Ideoclan strongholds, and most of the moons had held bases before the war, so we were in for a tough one.
		I held my breath waiting for the explosion, and shifted my finger to the jettison switch: the velocity indicator on the HUD was going down fast - I had to slow down enough for Titan's gravity to pull me down.
		My hand hovered briefly over the EQUALIZE command on the environmental controls panel: the cover was already flipped open, and if I pushed it, there would be no turning back.

		The object hit to top of the first unit, then clipped the back of the second unit and the first two coal cars.
		After it was all over they limped into the Paintsville yard where they were met at 5:15 am by a large crew of workers that took the locomotives and two damaged cars to another set of tracks under a large tent.

	World War Two - The History Beat
		Under this joint attack Poland fell quickly, with last large operational units surrendering October 5 (However Poland was fighting to the end of the war, contributing much to the final defeat of Nazi Germany).
		Germany on the one hand, and France and Britain on the other, settled into a period of quiet maneuvering while they mobilized for conflict.
		Factors such as indecision by Hitler, dissent among the higher ranked German officers, a long distance to their supplies and a second Russian winter, combined to result in a prolonged battle in the streets of Stalingrad.

	LEGENDARY SURFER: John Heath "Doc" Ball (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By 1924, Doc held the Redlands High School pole vault record of 11-feet 6-inches, using a bamboo pole.
		Holding the camera by hand, by teeth, strapped to body parts and surfboard, and shooting off piers and rocks, from airplanes and towers, automobiles and trees, from boats and rubber rafts and cliffs and caves, Doc tried to expand both perspective and perception in the minds of his viewers.
		A combination of skillful maneuvering of his hands and fingers in the dental trade, and a life long love of birds, has produced one of the West Coast's finest bird carvers."
