Mission

Moreover, it is useful to distinguish between the standards prepared by the official standards organizations and the professional standards. The former s mission is to ensure that the conditions of the consensus of the widest assemblage of interested parties are followed. The professional standards are prepared by recognized professional organizations but limit the consensus to only the participating organizations. 

As sueh, our work domain and mission is measuring and studying problems around produetion, transportation and distribution of eleetrieity to industries and partieulars.

Helium is extensively used for filling balloons as it is a much safer gas than hydrogen. One of the recent largest uses for helium has been for pressuring liquid fuel rockets. A Saturn booster, like the type used on the Apollo lunar missions, required about 13 million fts of helium for a firing, plus more for checkouts. 

Zirconium is found in abundance in S-type stars, and has been identified in the sun and meteorites. Analysis of lunar rock samples obtained during the various Apollo missions to the moon show a surprisingly high zirconium oxide content, compared with terrestrial rocks. 

Titanium is present in meteorites and in the sun. Rocks obtained during the Apollo 17 lunar mission showed presence of 12.1% Ti02 and rocks obtained during earlier Apollo missions show lower percentages. 

Its importance depends on the nuclear property of being readily fissionable with neutrons and its availability in quantity. The world s nuclear-power reactors are now producing about 20,000 kg of plutonium/yr. By 1982 it was estimated that about 300,000 kg had accumulated. The various nuclear applications of plutonium are well known. 238Pu has been used in the Apollo lunar missions to power seismic and other equipment on the lunar surface. As with neptunium and uranium, plutonium metal can be prepared by reduction of the trifluoride with alkaline-earth metals.

Among the rarest of all meteorites are the lunar meteorites. Isotopic, mineralogical, and compositional properties of these samples provide positive identification as lunar samples because of the unique properties of lunar materials that have been discovered by extensive analyses of lunar materials returned by the manned ApoUo and unstaffed Luna missions. AH but one of the lunar meteorites that have been found to date have been recovered from Antarctica. 

Eorensic science laboratories may have different missions and therefore conduct different types of testing on samples (21,22). Eor example, the United States Department of Justice, Dmg Enforcement Administration (DEA) forensic laboratories assist authorities ia criminal intelligence-gathering efforts. As such, DEA chemists routinely analyze both the iUicit dmg and excipient, the material used ia the cutting or diluting of the pure dmg, ia a given specimen. The excipient may provide information as to where the sample was produced.

Space Reactors. Two quite different appHcations of reactors ia space have been studied one for electrical power of a spacecraft mission, and the other for propulsion of spacecraft. Both appHcations are for long missions where solar power is iaadequate or chemical propulsion is impractical (72,73). 

Special uses iaclude oxygen for fuels iatended for long-term unattended service (13). Candles are fired on demand by a pressure sensor ia the oxygen accumulator. Chlorate candles were iacorporated iato backpacks designed for use ia the ApoUo moon missions (14).
