	Vela (satellite) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vela was the name of a group of satellites developed as the Vela Hotel element of Project Vela by the United States to monitor compliance with the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty by the Soviet Union, and other nuclear-capable states.
		The Vela Hotel series was to detect nuclear explosions in space, while the Advanced Vela series was to detect not only nuclear explosions in space but also in the atmosphere.
		The original Vela satellites were equipped with 12 external X-ray detectors and 18 internal neutron and gamma-ray detectors.

	Island of Korcula - Vela Luka
		Vela Luka, together with Blato and Korcula, is one of the three island centres with a developed touristic, industrial and urban infrastructure.
		The primordial nature around Vela Luka has been preserved untouched, as it was, for example, during the time of the Romans, these wellknown "bonvivants" who knew how to choose a suitable place for their stay and entertainment between frequent wars.
		The most impressive of contemporary painters from Vela Luka is Izvor Oreb, who lives in Zagreb, who, with his Dalmatian motives in the postmodernistic style, draws the attention of the public of both Croatia and the World.

	Metal Leg 24 - Rosie Vela
		Vela became one of the most successful models of the late seventies, but never lost sight of her goals: Modeling was a job and music was her life's work.
		Vela sits with her back to the window, snapping her fingers, shaking her head, singing along for the first time since the record was released.
		Vela says she was working less because she was studying acting under Sandra Seacat in Los Angeles and because she landed a small role in the disastrous big-budget Western "Heaven's Gate" and was on call for a year.

	The Vela Incident
		Due to the position ambiguity of the initial detection (the Vela optical sensors were not imaging sensors and could did not detect location), the location is variously described as being in the Indian Ocean or South Atlantic.
		Vela 6911 is presumably one of the Advanced Vela pair launch launched on 23 May 1969 (perigee 77,081 km, apogee 145,637 km, inclination 61.6 deg), and had thus been operating over ten years at the time of the 1979 detection.
		Alvarez's discovery that Vela detections were part of a continuum of detections of variable quality, and that this detection was less clear cut than others, provided a defensible rationale for dismissing it as a real detection.

	Vela (satellites)
		The Vela satellites were launched in pairs into high altitude orbits to detect possible nuclear explosions on Earth and in space, out to the distance of Venus or Mars.
		The first two pairs of Velas were equipped with 12 external X-ray detectors and 18 internal neutron and gamma-ray detectors.
		Interestingly, the gamma-ray detectors on board the early Velas picked up the first signs of an important astrophysical phenomenon — gamma-ray bursters — but this information was only declassified about two decades after the military became aware of it.

		In this wide-angle view, the Vela pulsar and its pulsar wind nebula are seen against a background of clouds, or filaments, of multi-million degree Celsius gas.
		As the ejecta from the explosion expanded into space and collided with the surrounding interstellar gas, shock waves were formed and heated the gas and ejecta to millions of degrees.
		The Vela pulsar, located in the center of the image (yellow), is considered to be one of Chandra’s most tantalizing images to date.

	A Brief History of the Discovery of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts
		These "Vela" (from the Spanish verb velar, to watch) series satellites were part of an unclassified research and development program whose goal was to develop the technology to monitor nuclear tests from space and give the US a means of verifying the conditions of the treaty.
		The Vela designers were also aware that detonating a nuclear bomb behind a thick shield or on the far side of the moon would effectively hide the initial flash of x-rays from the satellites' view.
		In particular, Vela 5 a and b (launched in 1969) and Vela 6 a and b had sufficient timing accuracy that they could reasonably determine directions to the triggered events.

		The real Southern Cross is in the nearby constellation of Crux; this cross shared by Vela and Carina goes by the name of the False Cross.

		Vela has quite a few deep sky objects, but none could be described as outstanding.

		At one time, the U.S. had several Vela satellites in orbit that were designed to look for missile launches and/or nuclear detonations.
		That position was based on a general mistrust of aging satellites, and a refusal to accept supporting data from other sources." The article goes on to say, "Six pairs of Vela satellites were orbited between 1963-70, with each vehicle carrying sensors to detect nuclear explosions in the atmosphere and in space.
		Vela 6911 also was operating beyond its seven-year design life--which cast doubt on the optical data--and its EMP sensor was inoperative, precluding a corroborating electromagnetic signature from being obtained.
