Nome Students Hear
Spacemobile Lecture
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration spacemobile
lecturers, Mr. Paul Lampkin and
Mr. Robert Henrick presented
talks and demonstrations to upper
elementary, junior and senior high
students last Friday afternoon.
Some history and the principles
behind the function of rocket en
gines were illustrated. Liquid
oxygen, carried from Fairbanks
in an ordinary thermos bottle was
used to illustrate the use of liquid
oxygen with rocket fuels Samples
of electronic circuit boards showing
the modern development of printed
circuit and components so small
they can hardly be seen with the
naked eye illustrated why small
satellites can hold many instru
ments. Slides showing how satel
lites carry solar and astronomical
instruments for observation above
the atmosphere rounded out the
program.
Mr. Lampkin and Mr. Henrick
are one of 13 lecture teams tour
ing the U.S. and several foreign
countries to inform people of the
goals and achievements of our
space program. Usually their equip
ment is carried in a panel truck
but for rural Alaska the readily
moveable equiment was shipped
by air in crates.
Student comments included “the
best assembly so far.”
