Viking Spacecraftbuilt some of the biggest and best spacecraft in the System.
You're aware that Viking Spacecraft is one of the corporations under the management of Ravenhurst Holdings?
The raw materials are easier to come by out here than they are on Earth, and it's a devil of a lot easier to build spacecraft under low-gee conditions than it is under the pull of Earth or Luna or Mars.
Midguard seemed to think that every step of spacecraft construction was utterly fascinating--for which, bully for him--but it was pretty much of a drag as far as I was concerned.
He said it as though he actually enjoyed taking the boss' teenage daughter through a spacecraft plant.
Actually, the spacecraft was quite close to the shape of a hen's egg.
He went through the door and out upon the spacefield, walking across the sandy floor towards the spacecraft numbered BurAst P.
Only a sharp observer who knew where to look and what to look for could have seen the turret of the spacecraft lofting above the dusty plains.
While all Paul needed was entry to that one spacecraft over there, plus about ten minutes of free time.
Paul wondered; they were far from the house it was true, but they were almost as far from the spacecraft now as they had been when standing on the front steps of the house.
And while the embattled fleets of spacecraft circled one another, Paul Grayson was far in space, coming out of superdrive, confident that he had outrun or at least disappeared from instant contact with the enemy.
Minutes later space stations picked up the radio blast and had radiogoniometers pointing the angle; which when correlated with other space stations bracketed the courier spacecraft nicely.
Below them, a half mile or so from the relay station, a small spacecraft stood with its nose in the air.
If the thief wanted only to stow away until take-off time, he would pick another spacecraft than the BurAst P.
The spotter was a tender spacecraft that roamed the solar system far out from Sol.
With his crew checking each of his own stations, Paul took off in his spacecraft at a speed just below the speed of light.
Abandoning the spacecraft as a hopeless job for immediate identification, Paul went back to the lone victim.
I seldom get to watch spacecraft land; would it be safe to go out and watch yours?
Even a small spacecraft was large--fitting hyperdrive in anything less than a hundred meters long seemed to be impossible--and Cortin knew this scout was one of the smallest of the Imperial ship classes.
The implications of this knowledge for satellites near Earth or for reentering spacecraft are obvious.
New power sources One of the greatest demands of spacecraft of the future will be for new sources of power.
Not long later, a badly battered, blackened, scuffed old spacecraft came rolling up on rocket-impulse and stopped with a billowing of rocket fumes.
The silently landed vessel, which was the smaller of the two, was several times the sizes of the onlyspacecraft ever seen on Darth outside the spaceport.
It was a glaring eye of fierce light, descending deliberately with a dark and mysterious spacecraft behind it.
So all early spacecraft carried amazingly complete equipment for repairs.
And the people of Zan, on which Hoddan had been born, always affected innocent indignation when embattled other spacecraft came and furiously demanded that they be produced.
There were tens-- Scores-- He was forced to guess at the stark impossibility of more than a hundred spacecraft in view.
It had the other advantage that commercial spacecraft could not mount such gadgets for defense, because the insurance companies objected to meddling with Lawlor drive installations.
Bored men from the battered spacecraftstood about his great hall.
When the Voyager 2 spacecraft left Earth last August for a journey beyond the solar system, it carried on its side a unique record player with a specially made disk for alien beings to hear and enjoy.
As far as these people were concerned, Sven Midguard was just a spacecraft engineer.
I have been banking on the McGuire-type ships to put Viking Spacecraft ahead of every other spacecraft company in the System.
Viking Spacecraft had taken every precaution to make sure that nobody stole their pet.
The general public didn't know how shaky Viking Spacecraft was, and neither, presumably, did the robotics staff.
The robotocists at Viking Spacecraft had decided to take another tack.
And except for the Government Reservation, Viking Spacecraft owned Ceres, lock, stock, and mining rights.
Eight of the vehicles stayed well back, ready to launch rockets directly at the fallen spacecraft if there were any sign of hostility, while two more crept carefully up on her.
The mysteryspacecraft is ours," he said decisively.
If they were real, then they would have to be spacecraft because no one at the meeting gave a second thought to the possibility that the UFO's might be a supersecret U.
Voyager-2 spacecraft images taken of Io, a moon of Jupiter, captured volcanoes in the actual process of eruption.
Ronny said urgently, “We haven’t the time to give you details, but every indication is that Paine is on a UP spacecraft with Avalon as its destination.
None of the four-man crew of the UP spacecraft had been on New Delos at the time of the assassination of the God-King.
If this was a Tommy Paine job, and it almost surely was, then there was only one way in which he could have escaped from the planet and that was by the single spacecraft that had left, destination Avalon.
In a short time, Lurton Zimbardo's spacecraft had left the asteroid.
Through the great doors they could see more than two dozen spacecraft arrayed on the extensive launching pad.
Here comes another one," said Joe, as a spacecraft passed into view from the large tunnel that led to the outside.
The furnishings of the alien spacecraft were similar to what the Starmen were familiar with, but the control panel was more challenging.
He could see his reflection in the side of the spacecraft as if he were looking into a still pool in a forest.
Don't worry about details of our escape, other than to say that we are in an alien spacecraft and heading for O344 with a minimum of supplies.
With a few exceptions, all Starlight Enterprise and Space Command spacecraft were to journey to the pirates' asteroid at once and prepare for battle.
We already concluded that the ability to sheath spacecraft and even asteroids comes from an alien intelligence more advanced than our own race.
Zip went back to the spacecraft the Starmen had chosen for their escape vehicle.
There were two spacecraft in position in about the middle of the asteroid.
We'll be working on getting into one of the spacecraft and learning how to use it.
The known asteroids and other heavenly bodies and the scheduled flights of spacecraft will be filtered out.
In front of them was a huge panel that could open to permit spacecraft to pass through the airlock, and on either side of it were sets of doors to allow men through.
The small spacecraft moved so quickly that the pirates could get off only wild shots that never came close to any of the SE craft.
Quhen the gentilwemen come in, the dog come out of the wall, and apperit to thame; quhairatt thay wer effrayit.
In cases of polymastia the nipple is not always formed; the milk, when secreted, issuing from a small opening.
Ye all dansit about baythe the saidis croces, and the meill mercatt, ane lang space of tyme.
Though the published records are incomplete, the number of names surviving suggests that a Coven existed here.
And the said Elizabeth also told this informant, that shee had three impes from her mother, which were of a browne colour, and two from the old beldam Weste; and that there had five [?
We may have a half-dozen or so spacecraftalongside at any one time, just doing their jobs.
Recon-patroller Red Fox was destroyed while on assigned mission to scout Special Zone to locate launch and support sites forspacecraft that present a clear and present danger to Slingshot.
Anchored, they were ready to service spacecraft or launch instantly to where they might be needed.
Your engineer, Hodak, is a damned good heavy-duty spacecraft maintenance engineer.
The ship shuddered as it shot from the gallery and headed for the concentration of spacecraftabove Pluto.
This is the heat cycle that is currently under study and being developed for use in spacecraftsterilization ([ref.
The spacecraft sterilization program requires the use of rooms having the lowest attainable level of bacterial contamination.
The sterilization of spacecraft is a difficult problem if flight reliability is not to be impaired.
The effects of Coriolis forces are a major problem difficult to eliminate in studies such as these, but they must be taken into account in the design of spacecraft which produce artificial gravity by rotation.
Every effort is being made to improve the state of the art to a point wherespacecraft can not only withstand sterilization temperatures, but will be even more reliable than the present state-of-the-art hardware that is not heated.
Heat, therefore, has been selected as the primary method of spacecraft sterilization and will be used, except in specific instances where radiation may prove to be less detrimental to the reliability of critical parts ([ref.
The use of bioregenerative systems in spacecraft systems has been studied by Bongers and Kok ([ref.
Application to Spacecraft System A bioregenerative life-support system will be required in long manned space flight, especially with several astronauts such as would be required for a manned mission to Mars in the 1980 time period.
Sterilizing agents have been evaluated not only for their ability to kill microbial life on surfaces and sealed inside components, but also for the agents' effects on spacecraft reliability as well (refs.
Thermal Death Studies on Microbial Spores and Some Considerations for the Sterilization of Spacecraft Components.
The optimum configuration of manned spacecraft will depend, in part, upon biomedical considerations.
The range of a spacecraft is computed from point of takeoff to point of no return.
Someday, Man hoped to fill the space lanes with spacecraft and the planets with interstellar commerce.
The only place where the power banks of a spacecraftcould be restored was in the hands of the Space Service itself, and it was an installation vast enough to tax the wealth and ingenuity of a whole continent to create.
I drove a spacecraft all the way from--" The Bureau of Justice officer held up a hand.
There was no way of restoring the powerbanks of a spacecraft except on Earth, Sol.
But now, sir, if we could increase our range by one hundred times, this does not necessarily mean that we must actually power the spacecraftfor that point of no return.
For spacecraft that carry women are few and far between.
The drone was standard spacecraft size, an unmanned hull laden with the necessities of life that would support him for a year.
Sir," said Reed, "the maximum range for our most efficient spacecraft is only a bit over seventeen light-years to the point of no return.
In Cairo it was believed and printed that the spacecraft was manned by creatures of protean structure, remarkably resembling legendary djinns.
There was a place where eight silvery spacecraft floated composedly above the Earth, with the few survivors of a great civilization peering out, waiting for dawn so they could see a new world, a fresh world healed of all scars, waiting.
Dameri Tass grimaced, turned and reentered his spacecraft to emerge in half a minute with his hands full of contraption.
The senior general didn't take his eyes from the alien and the spacecraft as he spoke, and they bugged quite as effectively as had those of the patrolmen when they'd first arrived on the scene.
The center is linked to a tracking antenna at Katsura, near Tokyo, as well as to one at the Masuda station, near our spacecraft launch pads on Tanegeshima.
This hypersonic spacecraft is the symbol, the flagship, of a new Soviet alliance with the most technologically advanced nation on earth.
The landing-grid locked on, raised the small spacecraft until Weald was a great shining ball below it, and then somehow scornfully cast him off.
They'd been threatened and oppressed by guardships in orbit about them, ready to shoot down any spacecraft they might send aloft.
Captain St. Simon positioned his little spacecraft a couple of meters above the North Pole.
He jockeyed the littlespacecraft around until he was reasonably stationary with respect to the great hunk of whirling rock and had the silver-white blotch centered on the crosshairs of the peeper in front of him.
As the little spacecraft moved in closer, he tapped the reverse pedal with his left foot.
When they had gone and the sound of their departing spacecraft had faded, Amschel Mayer snapped, "We might as well get underway.
They had hardly formed a compact group at the foot of the spacecraft than the ranks of the natives parted and what was obviously a delegation of officials approached them.
He was certain now that this man was just what he purported to be: a citizen with no particular knowledge of spacecraft simply bringing his son to the starport.
Used as a drive for spacecraft near planets, and in planetary craft such as airplanes and cars, as well as for exercise facilities, entertainment, medical uses, etc.
Its commonest use is as a shuttle between a spacecraft too large to land and a planet (from which it gets its name), but it is also useful for suborbital flights.
The man he had seen in that new building at Carlson Spacecraftwas no ordinary human being.
It will get hot just as soon as the Eurasian League figures they are far enough along in spacecraft construction to get the Martian colonies if they win.
Evidently, the League feels that they're ready to slam us, now that they've got Moonbase and two of our spacecraft plants out of the way.
And now, with Carlson Spacecraft going up in flames, they seemed to be getting closer to their goal.
