Safe and efficient subsonic operation of the NASA Glenn Research Center 10- by 10-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel (10x10
SWT) was demonstrated in April 1996, at which time limited test section flow quality data were collected. Those data showed
that the subsonic operating conditions were acceptable in terms of pressure and Mach number distribution, and it was recommended
that more complete documentation of the subsonic operating regime be compiled. Calibration and flow quality surveys
were conducted in the test section of the 10x10 SWT to fully document the subsonic capabilities of the facility. This report
describes the testing, data analysis and results from the calibration and flow quality surveys.

Delta WIND Mission Science Briefing
Oct. 31, 1994; In English; Videotape: 62 min. 41 sec. playing time, in color, with sound

The science objectives of the WIND mission are to: 1) provide complete plasma, energetic particle, and magnetic field input
for magnetospheric and ionospheric studies; 2) Determine the magnetospheric output to interplanetary space in the up-stream
region; 3) Investigate basic plasma processes occurring in the near-Earth solar wind; and 4) Provide baseline ecliptic plane
observations to be used in heliospheric latitudes from ULYSSES. The WIND science briefing is presented by George Diller,
NASA public affairs; Dr. Robert L. Carovillano, Project Scientist for the Global Geospace Science Initiative, NASA Headquarters;
Dr. Mario H. Acuna, Project Scientist for the WIND Project, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC); Dr. Keith W. Ogilvie,
Principle Investigator, Solar Wind Experiment at GSFC; Dr. Jean Louis Bougeret, Principle Investigator, Radio/Plasma Wave
Experiment, Paris; and Dr. Eugeny Mazets, Co-Principle Investigator, Russian Gamma Ray Spectrometer Instrument, St. Pertersburg,
Russia. Dr. Carovillano presents a cartoon slide of the Solar Terrestrial System and describes the Sun and the Magnetic field
of the Earth. Dr. Acuna also presents a cartoon slide describing GEOTAIL, POLAR, WIND, SOHO, ULYSSES and Cluster which
are the various tools used to study the complex solar terrestrial system. Dr. Ogilvie explains four particle and wave instruments
on WIND. These instruments will be used to study the contributions and characteristics of plasma and plasma waves that occur
in the solar wind. Dr. Bougeret explains the European participation in the WIND mission. He also shows a slide presentation of
SOHO and the CLUSTER spacecraft. Dr. Mazets explains the main objective of the Transient Gamma Ray Spectrometer (TGRS)
aboard the WIND spacecraft, which is to perform high resolution measurements of Gamma Ray Burst spectra and time histories,
