Russian space stations
History of Russian space stations Soviet space stations Soviet space station List of space stations operated by the Soviet Union

The History of Russian space stations started in 1960 with the first Russian proposal for a space station. The Soviet Union and now the Independent Russian Federation have been active in planing and building Russian space stations. Many of the Russian proposals and designs did not get built, but did helped in future Russian space stations. The 1960 space station proposal was made just three years after the launch of Soviet Union's Sputnik 1, in 1957. Some of the Russian designs enter into the Russian modules used in the International Space Station. The idea of a Russian space station can be found as early a 1903, in space pioneer Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) writtings.

==Design teams== ===OKB-1==== Started in 1946, Special Design Bureau-1, Russian acronym OKB-1, also known as the Korolev bureau, was the space design team headed by Sergei Korolev, its first chief. OKB-1 first task was working on German V-2 rockets, acquired after World War II. OKB-1 built a Russian V-2, the R-1 missile. OKB-1 designed many of the Russian space stations and spacecraft. In 1956, OKB-1 started a new team the RD Institute number 88, a new Soviet space program. OKB-1 was located 25km Norhteast of Moscow center in city of Kaliningrad (renamed Korolev in 1997). Before Kaliningrad was a spacecraft design site, it was a artillery design and manufacturing site opened in 1942. On 12 April 1961 OKB-1 put the first human space flight Yuri Gagarin. After Korolev death, on 14 January 1966 at age 59, Vasily Mishin became OKB-1 second chief. On 15 May 1974, Valentin Glushko became OKB-1 thrid chief. At its peak OKB-1/NII-8 had 1.2 million square feet of office manufacturing space. In 1989, Yuriy Semenov became OKB-1 fourth chief. In 2005, now under Independent Russian Federation Nikolay Sevastyanov became the fifth chief. In 1966 after Korolev death, OKB-1 was renamed the Design Bureau for Special Machine-Building (TsKBEM). Other key engineers at OKB-1 were: Boris Rauschenbach, Yuriy Semyonov, and Konstantin Bushuev. OKB-1 designed: Sputnik 1, R-7 rocket, Luna programme, 2MV probes, the manned Vostok programme and the space station crew ferry spacecraft, Soyuz. OKB-1 designed the failed N1 rocket, which ended some of the team's projects. TsKBEM/Energia designed the Energia rocket, but with the fall of the Soviet Union this project ended in 1991. OKB-1 became the current company RKK Energia.

===OKB-52=== The other Russian design team (and rival) was OKB-52, now NPO Mashinostroyeniya, that designed the Almaz space stations. OKB-51 was the precursor to OKB-52 found in 1944. OKB-52 (Experimental Design Bureau 52) was founded in 1954, and is located in the city of Reutov, 19km east of Moscow center. Vladimir Chelomey was the chief of the Almaz space station program started in 1964. OKB-23 was subdeapartment of OKB-52, that became GKNPZ Khrunichev/KB Salyut. OKB-52 also designed ICBMs, space launch vehicles, Proton launch vehicle, and the Almaz and TKS military stations, spacecraft, and rocket engines, like RD-253. In 1965, OKB-52 was renamed the Central Design Bureau for Machine Building (TsKBM). The name changed again in 1976 to NPO Mashinostroyenia (Scientific Production Organization for Machine Building).
 * In 1993 Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center was formed from Khrunichev Bureau and the Salyut Design Bureau. Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center is located 15km west of of Moscow center in the Filyovsky Park District. Khrunichev entered the space design when OKB-23, under OKB-52, was added to the company in 1951. OKB-23 headed by Vladimir Myasishchev. In 1959, Myasishchev developed intercontinental ballistic missiles, and later spacecraft and space launch vehicles. The company designed and built all the Russian space stations.

==Docking== Space rendezvous or space docking is used to board space stations. Space stations are launched with no crew and ferry spacecraft delivers the crew after the station is in orbit. Before launching a space station successful successful docking must be achieved. The Russians first attempt at space rendezvous failed. Soyuz 1, launched on 23 April 1967, was to dock with Soyuz 2A and exchange crewmembers. Soyuz 1 failed, Vladimir Komarov was killed on reentry and Soyuz 2A was aborted. In October 1968, Soyuz 2 and Soyuz 3 failed to dock, but the crew returned to Earth. Spacecraft Soyuz 4 and Soyuz 5 completed the first successful Soviet docking on 16 January 1969. The Soviets completed the first automated, uncrewed docking with Cosmos 186 and Cosmos 188 on 30 October 1967.

==1960s== ===OS=== The proposed OS (Orbital Station) was the first plan for a Soviet manned space station. In 1960, Sergei Korolev, lead Soviet rocket engineer and spacecraft designer, proposed a military space station. His proposal had a crew of 3 to 5 cosmonauts in orbit at an altitude 350 to 400 km above Earth. The proposal was for a 30000 kg space station. Korolev laid out the mission for the OS in his plans: military reconnaissance, combat operations against enemy spacecraft, strike against any point on earth, military communications, defense against enemy ballistic missiles, study of the space environment, study of the Earth, Sun and planets, astronomical observations, weather observation, biological research and radiation control studies. Korolev did not get approved for his design, but some parts of his plan were put into the next proposal, the TKS station.

===TKS heavy space station - TOSZ===

The proposed TKS heavy space station, also called TOSZ, was a Korolev proposal for manned space station started in 1961. As the new powerful N1 rocket was being developed, Korolev now had hope of a super heavy-lift launch vehicle able to place a large space military station into orbit. TKS heavy space station plans called for a gross mass of 150000 kg, a height of 52 m, and a diameter of 4.5 m. The TKS Heavy Space Station was to use two to three 50000 kg station modules launched on some of the first N1 rocket launches. New crewmembers would be ferried the TKS heavy space station each month. At the time the civilian Sever spacecraft designed around the early plans of the Soyuz Spacecraft would be used as the ferry craft to the TKS. Space docking ports would be built into the spacecraft and TKS station. TKS power was from solar arrays, as each following space station plan would have. Korolev's draft was submitted on 3 May 1961, it was not accepted, but Korolev continued his desire for a space station.

===OS-1962 space station===

The proposed OS-1962 space station was part of the Sever project. OS-1962, Orbital Station 1962, was a Korolev proposal that was approved on 10 March 1962 and called the "Complex docking of spacecraft in earth orbit - Soyuz". The OS-1962 space station was to have a gross mass of 13000 kg. In the first plan, the ferry spacecraft would have been two times the size of the final design, the Soyuz spacecraft. The space station was to be launched by three R-7 rocket launches and a use a Vostok-7 spacecraft. The plan was for an earth observation platform. The OS-1962 space station would have ZhO living section, a BAA scientific apparatus block, and the Sever (Soyuz) spacecraft docked to the space station. While OS-1962 was not built some of its designs were used in later space stations.

===OP space station=== The proposed OP space station (Orbitalniy Poyas or OP -Orbital Belt), was a 1962 Korolev proposal for a 50000 kg military space station. The OP military space station would also control geosynchronous nuclear-powered communication satellites. Korolev proposal was submitted 20 April 1962. The plan also had maneuverable attack satellites to attack United States satellites that would orbit in altitudes from 300 to 2,000 km. The OP space station would also have anti-ballistic missile interceptors in altitudes from 150 to 100 km. The Soviet military did not approve the Korolev OP space station plans.

===OS-1=== The proposed OS-1 was a 1965 Soviet space station design. This was the first Soviet space station design to make it to the mock-up stage of design, thus was a major milestone of Soviet space station design. The mockup was built in the Kaliningrad complex. The OS-1 was to have a mass of 75000 kg and height of 25 m. The OS-1 was approved by Nikita Khrushchev after a meeting of space engineers at Pitsunda. Khrushchev wanted a manned space station with nuclear weapons in low Earth orbit placed in space with the N1 rocket. The mock-up construction started on 25 September 1962 and was completed in 1965. While OS-1 was not completed some of its designs were used in later space stations.

==Soyuz R==

The proposed Soyuz R was a planned Russian manned spacecraft. A military reconnaissance version of Soyuz, developed by Kozlov at Samara from 1963-1966. It was to consist of an the 11F71 small orbital station and the 11F72 Soyuz 7K-TK manned ferry. Soyuz R was cancelled in 1966.

===Soyuz-VI===

The proposed Soyuz-VI military space station plan at first designed on a modified Soyuz 7K-OK spacecraft. After a number of failure of the Soyuz 7K-OK in November 1966, Kozlov started as new design of the Soyuz-VI. The new Soyuz-VI had a crew of two, a mass of 6.600 kg and would be visited and resupplied once a month. The new plan was approved on 21 July 1967, testing was to start in 1968 and be operational in 1969. The station was to have a Aleksandr Nudelman recoilless gun. Part of the plan was to have Soyuz-VI be able to dock with the planned Almaz space station. So the space station did not have to face the Sun all the time, power was to be from two Radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG). In 1967, a Soyuz-VI mock-up was completed and recoilless gun dynamic stand was completed at Samara. In September 1966, the cosmonauts for the project were picked: Pavel Popovich, Alexei Gubarev, Yuri Artyukhin, Vladimir Gulyaev, Boris Belousov, and Gennadiy Kolesnikov. In 1968, the crew was reduced to Gubarev and Zaikin. After conflict, on 8 December 1967, Vasily Mishin took control of the Soyuz-VI project. Mishin later had Soyuz-VI cancelled in 1969. Some part of Soyuz-VI were placed in the Soyuz 7K-S and later units of Soyuz T and Soyuz TM.

===Soyuz OB-VI=== The proposed Soyuz OB-VI, was a planned Russian 1967 manned modified spacecraft to be used as a space station. After OKB-1 Soyuz-VI was cancelled, Soyuz OB-VI was put in its place as replacement. Soyuz OB-VI was a OKB-52 design. Soyuz OB-VI was to have a mass of 6.500 kg, crew of two, and have 30 day missions. Rather than Radioisotope thermoelectric generator Soyuz OB-VI would have solar panels. Soyuz OB-VI was part of the Soyuz OIS (Orbital Research Station): Soyuz OB-VI and the spacecraft Soyuz 7K-S. Soyuz OB-VI was cancelled in February 1970, as Soyuz OB-VI was replaced by the Salyut and Almaz space stations.

==OS-1-1969=== The proposed OS-1-1969 was a 1969 plan for a very large OS-1 space station. OS-1-1969 was planned to be 75000 kg and 25 m tall, with a crew of six. A OS-1-1969 mock-up was built, the OS-1-1969 would have need the powerful N1 rocket for launching. OS-1-1969 projected ended at the end of the N1 launch vehicle program in 1974.

===MKBS - MOK=== The proposed MKBS or Multi-module Cosmic Base Station, also called Multi-module Orbital Complex (MOK), was a plan for a manned multipurpose space base station started in 1966. In 1965, the early Multi-module Orbital Complex was called the Cloud Space Station. The very large MKBS space station would have had a mass of 250000 kg and 100 m tall. Vasily Mishin design was to have the space station built in block including communications station and special space weapons block. The Big Orbital Station (BOS) with a space for a crew of 9 to 12 cosmonauts was a competing plan. The MOK was part of orbital systems including: Multi-module Cosmic Base Station, autonomous spacecraft docked to MKBS, space supply transport systems, autonomous test systems, space search and rescue complexes. The Soyuz 7K-T was to be the ferry craft. MKBS and BOS would have need the powerful N1 rocket for launching. MKBS/MOK/BOS projects ended at the end of the N1 launch vehicle program in 1974.

==1970s== ===37K-Mir=== The proposed 37K-Mir was a 1979 plan for a aproved for manned space station, which was cancelled in 1983. The 37K-Mir design was for a station of mass of 20000 kg and 4.2 m diameter with one docking port. The station had no propulsion system and would use a space tug to move. In place of the 37K-Mir, the KB Salyut design was approved and built.

==Salyut 1==

Salyut 1 (DOS-1) was launched on 19 April 1971 on a three-stage Proton rocket, the first Soviet space station. Salyut 1 was placed into low Earth orbit. Salyut 1 used a modified Almaz craft. The three cosmonauts of Soyuz 11 were ferried to Salyut 1 for a 23 day stay. Salyut 1 was the first station of the Salyut programme. The three cosmonauts died during Earth's reentry in their Soyuz capsule. With the end of the Soviet's moon program the Soviet Union incresed its space station program. DOS-1 was the first core of the Durable Orbital Station, DOS-1.

===DOS-2===

DOS-2 space station was launched and lost on 29 July 1972. The second stage of the Proton-K rocket failed and DOS-2 dropped into the Pacific Ocean. DOS-2, if successful would have been called Salyut 2. DOS-2 was identical to Salyut 1.

===DOS-3===

Kosmos 557 (DOS-3) was launched and lost on	11 May 1973. DOS-3, if successful would have been called Salyut 2. The flight control system failed, with no fuel, DOS-3 reenter Earth's atmosphere and burn up a week after launch. DOS-3 was identical to DOS-2 and Salyut 1.

===Almaz===

Almaz OPS (Diamond) (APOS) was a secret Soviet military space station program started in 1965, and designed by Vladimir Chelomey. Almaz was the only manned military spacecraft to have been launched from 1973 to 1977, as Salyut 2, Salyut 3 and Salyut 5. Three Soyuz crews successfully visited two test Almaz stations. The flights had an array of sensors for the cosmonaut observations. OPS are space station cores: Orbital Piloted Station. Other Almaz craft were planned and launched:
 * Almaz APOS was a planned manned space station that was cancelled in 1966.
 * Almaz OPS-1 was launched 3 April 1973 as Salyut 2.
 * Almaz OPS-2 was launched 25 June 1974 as Salyut 3.
 * Almaz OPS-3 was launched 26 December 1974 as Salyut 4.
 * Almaz OPS-4 was 1997 planned as a military space station, cancelled in February 1979.
 * Almaz-T (OPS-5) was launched 29 October 1986 and failed.
 * Almaz-T2 (Kosmos 1870) launched on 25 July 1987. It was a uncrewed station that was used for two years for radar imagery.
 * Almaz-1 was launched on 31 March 1991, for 18 month was a uncrewed station.
 * Almaz-2 was cannceled, it was to be a new uncrewed radar imagery craft.

===Salyut 2=== Salyut 2 (OPS-1) was launched in 1973 and was to be the first Almaz military space station. Before any crew could visit the station it lost altitude control, depressurized and re-entered on 28 May 1973.

===Salyut 3=== Salyut 3 (OPS-2) was launched on 25 June 1974 and built on the Almaz design. The Soviet space station was called Salyut to cover up its military operations. One crew successfully boarded and operated the station, Soyuz 14. Soyuz 15 was unable to dock and the mission was aborted.

===Salyut 4===

Salyut 4 (DOS-4) was launched on 26 December 1974, the Soviet civilian space station was based on the Almaz military station, the fourth of the DOS-1 design. Salyut 4 had a mass: 18210 kg, and 13.07 m tall and solar array span of 17.07 m. Missions that visited Salyut 4: Soyuz 17, Soyuz 18, and the uncrewed Soyuz 20. Soyuz 18a also called Soyuz 7K-T No.39, a mission to Salyut 4, was aborted at launch on 5 April 1975.

==Salyut 5== Salyut 5 (OPS-3) was launched on 22 June 1976 and was the last Almaz design space station used. Salyut 5 was a military space station put foward as civilain craft. Two Soyuz crew visited the space station each with two cosmonauts, Soyuz 21 launched on 6 July 1976 and Soyuz 24 launched on 7 February 1977. Soyuz 23 was not able to dock and the mission was aborted.

==Space Shuttle - Salyut== In October 1976, Alan Lovelace the acting NASA Administrator had a meeting with Boris Petrov chairman of the Intercosmos Council and other Soviet officials. That meeting there was a discuss about planing a Space Shuttle docking with a Salyut space station. NASA did not commit to the program as the 1976 United States presidential election approaching.

===Salyut 6=== Salyut 6 (DOS-5) was launched on 29 September 1977. Salyut 6 had two docking ports and a BST-1M multispectral telescope. Salyut 6 was the first space station to have a number of long term missions and to have uncrewed spacecraft resupply the station. TKS modules diverted from the cancelled Almaz program docked with Salyut 6, giving it greater space, including military experiments. Salyut 6 was visited by crews of Soyuz 25, Soyuz 26, Soyuz 27, Soyuz 28, Soyuz 29, Soyuz 30, Soyuz 31, Soyuz 32, Soyuz 34, Soyuz T-1 (repair team), Soyuz 35, Soyuz 36, Soyuz T-2, Soyuz 37, Soyuz 38, Soyuz T-3, Soyuz T-4, Soyuz 39, and Soyuz 40. Progress 1 was the first of 12 uncrewed spacecraft to resupply the space station. Soyuz 33 failed to dock and the mission was aborted. Kosmos 1267, an unmanned TKS spacecraft, docked to Salyut 6.

==1980s== ==Salyut 7==

Salyut 7 (DOS-6) was launch	19 April 1982, the space station was placed in low Earth orbit. Soyuz T-5 was the first crew on Salyut 7. Salyut 7 was visited by 12 crewed spacecraft and 15 uncrewed spacecraft. These spacecraft included the Soyuz T, Progress supplies, and TKS spacecraft. Some of the missions to Salyut 7 included: Soyuz T-5, Soyuz T-6, Soyuz T-7, Soyuz T-8, Soyuz T-9, Soyuz T-10, Soyuz T-11, Soyuz T-12, Soyuz T-13, Kosmos 1686, Soyuz T-14, and Soyuz T-15. Soyuz T-15 the last Salyut 7 visit in June 1986, which also docked with Mir on 15 March 1986. Soyuz 7K-ST No.16L failed to launch to Salyut 7. The film Salyut 7 was made about the repair work done on Salyut 7. Salyut 7 was 16 m long and 4.15 m in diameter, with a mass of 19824 kg.

===Mir===

Mir (DOS-7) first module was launched on 20 February 1986. Mir was the first modular space station assembled in orbit. The additional modules were launched on: 31 March 1987; 26 November 1989; 31 May 1990; 20 May 1995; 15 November 1995; and 26 April 1996. The 15 November 1995 module was brought up by The United States Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-74. Mir was in low Earth orbit use from 1986 to 2001, 15 years, starting with the Soviet space program and ending in the Russia space program. Mir conducted experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology, and long time spacecraft living. Seven American astronauts spent almost 1,000 days living with Russian cosmonauts on board the Mir.


 * Valeri Polyakov, holds the record for the longest-ever trip in space. Polyakov spent 437 days (14 months) on the Mir space station in 1994 and 1995. His combined time in space is more than 22 months.


 * Sergei Krikalev is the only one to be launched by his country, return to Earth 10 month later and have his launch country gone, due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union on 26 December 1991. He was in space twice as long as originally planned. He landed in the newly independent country of Kazakhstan. In 1995, the documentary Out of the Present released about Krikalev time in space and his return.

===37KS=== The proposed 37KS was plans for a manned Mir space station modules that was cancelled in 1983. The plans called each module to have a mass of 20000 kg, and 4.27 m diameter. Four 37KS modules were planned for Mir.

===LO=== The proposed LO design was part of the 37K plan, but the 1984 LO space station plan had the space station be launched in the bay of the Buran spacecraft. LO was to have civilian experiments in the LO Laboratory Compartment. The LO module was to have a mass of 7150 kg, height of 5.1 m, and a 4.2 m diameter. Buran spacecraft made test flights, but was not put in operations. LO would have been similar to the American STS-9 mission.

===NPG=== The proposed NPG design was part of the 37K/LO manned space station project, that was cancelled in 1986. NPG was the designed for use with military experiments in the bay of the Buran spacecraft. The LO module was to have a mass of 7150 kg, height of 5.1 m, and a 4.2 m diameter. Buran made test flights but was not put in operations.

===Mir-2 KB Salyut=== The proposed Mir-2 KB Salyut was a planned manned space station that was cancelled in 1988. Mir-2 KB Salyut was an alternative design of the Mir-2 space station. The Mir-2 KB Salyut was to used the Buran and the planned Polyus spacecraft, as a space weapon.

===Mir-2===

The proposed Mir-2 project was started in February 1976. While Mir-2 was never launched as planned, some of the modules built for Mir-2 were used in the International Space Station (ISS). The core of Mir-2 in the planning stage was the DOS-8 base block space station core module. The DOS-8 was built as the back-up module for Mir station, the DOS-7 base block. This DOS-8 base block became the Zvezda module launched on 12 July 2000 and docked to International Space Station on 26 July 2000.

==1990s to present== ===37KB=== The proposed 37KB was a planned manned space station module for the first Buran flight to Mir. The 37KB module was similar to the Kvant module on Mir space station. The 37KB module had construction started, but was ended when Buran project was ended in 1993.

===International Space Station - ISS===

Russians built a number of modules used on the International Space Station (ISS) called the Russian Orbital Segment: The International Space Station mission is planed to end in 2030.
 * Zarya (dawn), launched 20 November 1998
 * Zvezda (star) (DOS-8), launched 12 July 2000
 * Poisk (search), launched 10 November 2009
 * Rassvet (sunrise, dawn), launched 14 May 2010
 * Nauka (science), launched 21 July 2021
 * Prichal (berth), launched November 2021
 * Pirs (ISS module) (now decommissioned), launched September 2001


 * Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko holds record for over 972.81 days in space, the longest time in space of any cosmonaut or astronaut.


 * Anatoly Solovyev holds the world record the most spacewalks (16), and most time spacewalking at over 82 hours.


 * Russian as a country holds the record for the total human spaceflight time.

===Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex===

The proposed Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex was a 2009–2017 plan for a third-generation Russian modular space station. One part of the plan was to remove Russian International Space Station modules to help start the new Orbital Piloted Assembly and Experiment Complex. Project was cancelled in 2017.

===Russian Orbital Service Station=== The proposed Russian Orbital Service Station is a plan for a new space station scheduled to begin construction in 2027. The current plan is to have up to seven modules by 2035. Part of the Russian Orbital Service Station's plan is to put the station in Sun-synchronous orbit.

Pegasus was specially designed and built in 1999 to transport the giant external tanks of the space shuttles from the Louisiana shore to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on the eastern coast of Florida – a 900-mile journey that includes both inland and open-ocean waterways. Pegasus replaced Poseidon and Orion, barges that were used to carry Saturn rocket stages and hardware for the Apollo Program. Pegasus completed its final space shuttle-related voyage in 2011.

Saturn V S-IC-T

S-IC-T is a Saturn V first stage, S-IC, of a the three stage rocket. S-IC-T was built by Boeing Company, under contact from National Aeronautics and Space Administration, to be a static test rocket. The main role of the S-IC-T was the testing of the five liquid fuel rocket engines to be used in the Apollo program. S-IC-T static test fired the rockets at NASA Mississippi Test Facility, now known as Stennis Space Center. S-IC-T was assembled at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. S-IC-T was given the nickname T-Bird (Test Bird). The first burn test was on April 10, 1965. S-IC-T-Saturn V is a Super heavy-lift launch vehicle. S-IC-is is on display at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

==History==

Before S-IC-T, the first complete S-IC stage built, Boeing built prototype stages: SA-500F and SA-500D. These were used for testing the new S-IC first stage. Boeing Company was awarded the contract to build S-IC-T on March 6, 1963 from NASA. The S-IC-T was test fired at a newly build test firing facility, called the B-2 Test Stand (S-IC-T stage), in the west test area. B-2 Test Stand is now part of the Stennis Space Center. S-IC-T was planned as test rocket only and not to be used in the later Apollo program. The Saturn V rocket was used in the Apollo program to depart Earth's gravity. S-IC-T, like all following Saturn V's S-IC rockets used five Rocketdyne F-1 engines. The Rocketdyne F-1 engine was first tested in March 1959 and delivered to NASA in October 1963. S-IC-T was built starting in 1963 and complete in 1965. The S-IC-T tests were to verify that the S-IC stage could support the firing of all five Rocketdyne F-1 engines at the same time. The testing was also a test of the two large fuel tanks. The five Rocketdyne F-1 engines produced 7,750,000 lbf of thrust, the first burn of the most powerful rocket ever. The powerful rockets caused ground shaking and smoke filled the area from the engine flames. Thus, B-2 Test Stand earned the the nickname the land of the earth shakers.

A crane was used to install S-IC-T into the B-2 Test Stand. Then the five F-1 engines were installed. The S-IC-T was filled with RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. On the B-2 Test Stand, 18 test firings were completed over almost two years. On April 10, 1965 the first S-IC-T test was to fire one engine for 16.73 seconds. On April 16, S-IC-T fired all five engines for the first time for 6.5 seconds and reached the record 7.5 million pounds (33.36x106N) of thrust for the first time. The 7.5 million pounds of thrust was the power Wernher von Braun specified for Apollo to depart to the moon. On August 5, 1965 a full burn test was done for 2 1/2 minute on all five engines. Two more 2 1/2 minute full burn test were done. The last test was done in 1967. The test included test the gimbaled thrust movement on the four outing engines. With the successful tests of S-IC-T, the Apollo program's Saturn V rocket was able to move forward.

S-IC-T is now on display on its side inside the Apollo-Saturn V Center museum at the Kennedy Space Center. S-IC-T is a Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmarks, listed in July 1980. Two other Saturn V Rocket sites were listed at the same time: Saturn V Rocket at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center and the one at the Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville, Alabama. Vistors are able walk under S-IC-T. The complete Saturn V rocket, that S-IC-T is part of, has been restored for display.

==B-2 Test Stand==

B-2 Test Stand was designed in 1961 and construction started in June 1961. B-2 Test Stand was completed in spring 1965 at the NASA Mississippi Test Facility, now known as Stennis Space Center. B-2 Test Stand was build to be albe to hold down 12,000,000 lbf of thurst. Also on the B-2 Test Stand, was the testing of S-IC-1 (Apollo 4), fired two times; S-IC-2 (Apollo 6) fired once; and S-IC-3 (Apollo 8) fired one time. In 1974, the B-2 Test Stand was reconfigured to test engines for the Space Shuttle program. Next the stand was change to test Russian RD-180 rocket engine in 1998, used on the Atlas rockets. The Space Launch System liquid oxygen feed line was tested in 2014 on stand.

A total of 12 S-IC stages were tested on B-2 stand. The first in April 1967 and the last was in October 1970. S-IC 15 was tested but was not used,it is on display at the Stennis Space Center's Infinity Space Center. The RS-68 used on the Delta 4 Common Booster Core was tested from November 1999 to May 2001. Stennis Space Center has other test stands including: A-1/A-2 Test stands, A-3 Test stand, H-1 Test stand and E Test stand complex.

Lithium
Solar analog

Low levels of lithium are also a key to low large solar flare events. For its age the Sun has a low level of Lithium. All Solar analog today have high lithium levels, taking into account the age of the star. Large solar flare events. Low solar flare events are very important to low luminosity variation. It may be that stars with planets have lower level of lithium, but in these stars the lithium levels are still much higher than the Sun's.

Anomalous Earth elements Vital poisons also called Essential poisons are poisons that at high dose will cause death or damage to living organisms, but are needed at low trace doses for living organism to survive and live healthy. In high doses these poisons can be lethal, but, micro or trace amounts are essential for good health. The these traces elements come from inorganic minerals. A number of vital poisons are essential for making proteins and other vital biochemical metabolism functions. Proteins are base for biological cells. In most cases a normal healthy diet can supply these traces chemical elements needed for human nutrition. All the elements are found in the Earth's crust in the correct amount in most soils. Biomineralization and geomicrobiology activities has concentrated inorganic mineral in the Earth's crust over a long time span, like sulfate-reducing bacteria and hydrogen oxidizing bacteria.

Moon
The Moon forming impact account for some, but not all, of the Anomalous levls of Earth elements.

Formation location
Jupiter and Saturn movements in the early formation of the Solar System may have given Earth a boost in some elements. Late Heavy Bombardment boost in some elements.

Low levels of nitric oxide production are important in protecting organs such as the liver from ischemic damage. Due to Nitric oxide importance in neuroscience, physiology, and immunology, Nitric oxide was proclaimed "Molecule of the Year" in 1992. Research into its function led to the 1998 Nobel Prize for discovering the role of nitric oxide as a cardiovascular signalling molecule. Nitric oxide should not be confused with nitrous oxide (N2O), an anaesthetic, or with nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a brown toxic gas and a major air pollutant, the latter being a product to which nitric oxide is rapidly oxidised in air.

Mars carbonate catastrophe
Mars carbonate catastrophe

Mars carbonate catastrophe was an event that happened on Mars in its early history. Evidence shows Mars was once warmer and wet about 4 billion years ago, that is about 560 million years after the formation of Mars. Mars quickly, over a 1 to 12 million year time span, lost its water, becoming cold and very dry. Factors in Mars losing its water and most of its atmosphere are: the carbonate catastrophe, lost of the planet's magnetic field and Mars' low gravity. Mars' low gravity and loss of a magnetic field allowed the Sun's solar wind to strip away Mars' atmosphere into outer space.

==Carbonate catastrophe== The water on early Mars reacted with Mars' carbon dioxide. This reaction formed carbonic acid. Carbonic acid became part of the water cycle on Mars. The carbonic acid rain produced carbonates on Mars. The carbonates removed greenhouse gases, water vapor, and carbon dioxide from Mars' atmosphere. Carbonates on Mars still exists.

==Magnetic field of Mars==

There is evidence that early Mars has a magnetic field, like the magnetic field of Earth. The Magnetic field of Mars ended quickly after the formation of the planet as the core of Mars is made of much lighter elements and is much small than Earth's core. Without a magnetic field the Sun's solar wind, made of charged particles, including plasma, electrons, protons and alpha particles stripped away most of the atmosphere and water on Mars.

==Gravity of Mars== Mars gravity is 62.5 % less than Earth, that is 100kg on Earth would be about 38kg on Mars. The low gravity is due to Mars' small size and also its lower density. Mars' mass is only 11% of Earth's mass. The Mars' diameter is 4,213 mi and the diameter of Earth is 7,926 mi.

==Mars today==

Mars today:
 * Mars' atmosphere is 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon. Earth atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide
 * Mars has only about 0.7% of the atmospheric pressure of Earth. Mars atmosphere is about 7 millibar, Earth atmosphere is 1013 millibar. Surface of Mars is like Earth at 100,000 ft in the stratosphere.
 * Mars atmosphere humidity is 0.03%, Earth average is about 50% (lowest 0.36%, high 100%).
 * Intense ultraviolet solar radiation, due to lack of atmosphere.
 * Intense solar radiation due to lack of magnetic field.
 * alkaline pH soil at 8.3, due to soil magnesium and chlorine. Earth average is about ~6.5 Earth.
 * Virtually no oxygen at 0.13%. Earth at about 21% oxygen.
 * Mars is covered in dry iron oxide dust, has seasonal global dust storms
 * The seasonal Martian polar ice caps are mostly dry ice, frozzen Carbon dioxide-CO2.
 * Comets falling on Mars bring some water and ice to Mars. The thin Mars atmosphere means the freezing, evaporation, and boiling point of water is all at the same temperature. Thus liquid water cannot exist on Mars.

Solar System belts
Solar System belts

Solar System belts are asteroid and comet belts that orbit the sun in the Solar System in interplanetary space. The Solar System as both major and minor asteroid and comet belts in the inner Solar System. The Solar System is unique in that it has multiple belts. The observation of other planetary systems has found these systems to have no asteroid belts or one vast asteroid belt. The stars Fomalhaut, HD 69830 and Epsilon Eridani are examples of systems with one large asteroid belt. The Solar System belts size and placement are mostly a result of the Solar System having four gas giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune far from the sun. The gas giant planets must be in the correct place, not too close or too far from the sun for a system to have Solar System belts.

==Formation== The Solar System belts were formed in the formation and evolution of the Solar System. The Grand tack hypothesis is the theory of the unique placement of the gas giants and the Solar System belts. Most gas giant planets found outside our Solar System, exoplanets, are inside the snow line, and are called Hot Jupiters. Thus in normal planetary systems gas giants form beyond snow line and then migrated towards the star. A small percent of gas giants migrate far from the star. In both types of migrations, the Solar System belts are lost in these planetary migrations. The Grand tack hypothesis explains how in the Solar System gas giants migrated in unique way to form the Solar System belts and near circular orbit of plants around the Sun. The Solar System's belts are a key to having a Solar System that can support complex life, as circular orbits are needed for the Habitable zone for complex life.

==Solar System belts== The asteroid and comet belts orbit the Sun from the inner rocky planets into outer parts of the Solar System, interstellar space. An astronomical unit, or AU, is the distance from Earth to the Sun, which is approximately 150 billion meters (93 million miles). Small Solar System objects are classified by their orbits:


 * Apollo asteroids, small group of Near-Earth objects, .5 to 1.017 AU


 * Amor asteroids, small group of near-Earth objects, 1.017 AU to 1.3 AU


 * Mars trojans small group around Mars orbit 1.3 to 1.6 AU


 * Hungaria asteroids, small group, 1.78 to 2.00 AU


 * Main Asteroid belt (main belt), between Mars and Jupiter, in near circular orbit, 2.2 and 3.2 AU


 * Alinda asteroids, small group, 2.5 AU in elliptical orbits


 * Hilda asteroid small group just inside Jupiter, 4.0 AU


 * Jupiter trojan (Greeks asteroid) small group near Jupiter's orbit, 5.05 to 5.35 AU


 * Centaur belt icy planetoids, between Jupiter and Neptune, 5.2 to 30.1 AU


 * Scattered belt small group, 21.5 to 215 AU


 * Kuiper belt large belt, 43 to 64.5 AU


 * Trans-Neptunian object >30 AU


 * Sednoid (inner Oort cloud objects) small group of four or more, high elliptical orbits, 47.8 to 80 AU


 * Oort cloud a large belt, 107.5 to 2,1505 AU (interstellar space)

==Planets== Solar System planets and dwarf planets listed for distances comparison to belts. The Solar System planets are all in near circular orbit. Planets: Dwarf planets: Dwarf planets, other than Ceres, are plutoids that have elliptical orbits:
 * Mercury 0.39 AU
 * Venus (planet) 0.72 AU

Life habitable zones
Life habitable zones Life habitable zones are the known zones in a solar system to support life. Habitable zones are part of the planetary habitability study. Most zones have a start point at a distance from the host star and then an end point farther from the star. A planet or exoplanet would need to orbit inside the boundary of this zone. With multiple zones, the zones would need to over lap for life. The requirements for bacteria life only would produce a large zones, than for complex life, which would have very narrow zones.

The first confirmed exoplanets was discovered in 1992, several planets orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. Since then the list of exoplanets has grown to thousands. Most exoplanets are hot Jupiter planets, that orbit very close the star. Many exoplanets are super earths, that could be a gas dwarfs or large rocky planet.

Unstable stars are young and old stars, or very large or small stars. Unstable stars have changing solar luminosity that changes the size of the habitable zones. Unstable stars also produce extreme solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can strip away a planet's atmosphere that is not replaceable. Thus habitable zones require and very stable star like the Sun, at ±0.1% solar luminosity change. Finding a stable star, like the Sun, is the search for a solar twin, solar analogs have been found. Stars with an age of 4.6 billion years are at the most stable state. Proper star metallicity is also very important having low luminosity variations. The Sun is unique as it is metal rich for its age and type, a G2V. The Sun is in its most stable stage currently and has the correct metallicity to make it very stable.

==Life habitable zones==


 * Habitable zone (HZ) is the obrit around a star that would allows for liquid water for short period of time ( a given period of time) on a small part of the planet's surface. This zone is a temperature zone, set by the stars radiation and distance from the star. In the Solar System the planet Mars is just at the outer boundary of habitable zone. The planet Venus is at the inner edge Habitable zone, but due to is thick atmosphere has no water. Habitable zone includes planets with elliptical orbits, these planets would orbit into and out of the habitable zone. With an elliptical orbit, a planet moving out of the habitable zone, would have all it water freeze to ice on the outside of the habitable zone and all water would become steam on the inner side. Habitable zone could be defined as place where bacteria, "life", could possibly survive for a short period of time, or called the temperate zone.. Habitable zone is the most quoted zone.


 * Optimistic habitable zone (OHZ) is a zone where liquid surface water could have been on planet in anytime in the past history of the planet. This zone would be large than the habitable zone. Mars is an example of a planet in the optimistic habitable zone, Mars is just beyond the habitable zone today, but had liquid water for a short time span before the Mars carbonate catastrophe, some 4 billion years ago.


 * Continuously habitable zone (CHZ) is a zone where liquid water persist on its surface of the planet for years. This requires a near circular orbit and a very stable star, as in the Sun and Earth system. This zone is much smaller than the habitable zone.


 * Conservative habitable zone (CHZ) is zone where liquid surface water is on a planet through most of its history, over a long time span, as on Earth. This would need a greenhouse of the correct gases (like carbon dioxide) and water vapor to maintain the correct temperature with circular orbit. A correct rayleigh scattering would also be needed.


 * Ultraviolet habitable zone is a zone where the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from a star is not too weak or too strong for existence life. Life needs the correct amount of ultraviolet for synthesis for biochemicals. Set by the amount of ultraviolet radiation from the star, distance from star, the UV wavelength, the age of the star, and atmosphere of the planet. In humans UV is used to produce vitamin D.  Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) can cause atmospheric loss.


 * Photosynthetic habitable zone is zone where both long term liquid water and oxygenic photosynthesis can occur. This set by the star, spectra (color) of the light, and distance from the star. Red dwarf stars have low solar radiation and so a planet would need to be too close to be the photosynthetic habitable zone. A close orbit planet would also be tidally locked. Red dwarf stars are also very unstable. The light intensity, humidity, carbon dioxide level, soil PH, and soil minerals also must be in the range for photosynthesis.


 * Tropospheric habitable zone, also called Ozone habitable zone, is zone where the planet would have the correct amount of ozone needed for life. Too much ozone and life would have breathing problems. Too little troposphere ozone would produce biochemical smog. On earth is part of the Ground-level ozone protection. Tropospheric ozone is formed by the interaction of ultraviolet light, with hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.


 * Planet rotation rate habitable zone is the zone that a planet's rotation rate is best for life. Slow rotation and the dry/night temperature difference is too great. The rotation rate also changes the planet's reflectivity and thus temperature. Fast rotation rate increases wind speed on the planet. Planet rotation rate has an impact on the planet's clouds and their reflectivity.


 * Planet rotation axis tilt habitable zone, also called Obliquity habitable zone, is place were a stable rotation axis tilt is held. This is spin axis on the plane of the orbit around the star. Earth's spin axis is tilted 23.5°, this gives seasons, providing snow and ice that can melt to provide water run off in the summer. Obliquity has an major impact on a planet's temperature, thus its habitable zone.


 * Tidal habitable zone. Planets too close to the star will be tidally locked. The mass of the star and the distance from the star set the tidal habitable zone. A planet tidally locked has one side of the planet facing the star, this side would be very hot. The face away from the star would be well below freezing. A planet too close to the star will also have tidal heating from the star. Tidal heating can vary the planet's orbital eccentricity. Too far form the star and the planet will not received enough solar heat.


 * Astrosphere habitable zone is the zone which a planet's astrosphere will be strong enough to protect the planet from the solar wind and cosmic rays. The astrosphere must be long lasting to protect the planet. Mars lost its water and most of its atmosphere after the losing its magnetic field and Mars carbonate catastrophe event.  Star-Sun's solar wind is made of charged particles, including plasma, electrons, protons and alpha particles. The solar wind is different for each star. Earth's magnetic field is very large and has protected Earth since its formation.


 * Atmosphere electric field habitable zone is place in ambipolar electric field is correct for the planet's electric field to helps ions overcome gravity. The planet's ionosphere must be correct to protect against the lose of the atmosphere. This is addition to a strong magnetic field to protect against the solar wind striping away the atmosphere and water into outer space.


 * Orbital eccentricity habitable zone is zone in which planets with a near circular orbit. As orbits with eccentricity have the planets move in and out of the habitable zones. In the solar system the grand tack hypothesis gives the theory of the unique placement of the gas giants, the solar system belts and the planets near circular orbits.


 * Milankovitch cycle habitable zone is zone that gives glaciation periods, ice ages. Milankovitch cycle and ice age have been key is shaping Earth. Life on Earth today is using water melting from the last ice age. The ice ages cannot be too long or too cold for life to survive. Milankovitch cycle has an impact on the planet's obliquity also.


 * Carbon Dioxide habitable zone is the place the planets will have the correct levels of carbon dioxide. The range for carbon dioxide levels is very narrow for life.


 * Carbon Monoxide habitable zone is the zone where planets will have low levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is poisonous, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. Carbon monoxide is little less dense than air. A planet that has life given atmosphere, cannot have star any dimmer than the Sun, as this would have deadly levels of carbon monoxide. Carbon stars are at the extreme side of deadly carbon monoxide levels.


 * Coupled planet-moon - Magnetosphere habitable zone is the zone that planet's moon and the planet's core produce a strong magnetosphere, magnetic field to protect against the solar wind striping away the planet's atmosphere and water into outer space. Just has Mars had a magnetic field for a sort time, Saied Mighani put forward in 2020, that Earth's Moon had a large magnetosphere for several hundred million years after its formation. The Moon's magnetospheres would have given added protection of Earth's atmosphere as the early Sun was not as stable as it today. In 2020 James Green modeled the coupled planet-moon-magnetosphere habitable zone. The modeling showed a planet–moon magnetospheres that are coupled together would give planet the protection from star stellar wind in the early solar system. In Earth case, the Moon was closer to Earth in the early formation of the solar system, giving added protection. This protection is needed then as the Sun was not as stable then.


 * Pressure-dependent habitable zone is the zone to have the correct atmospheric pressure to have liquid surface water on the planet. With a thin atmospheric pressure the temperature at which water boils is much lower. As on Mars today, with its low atmospheric pressure the freezing, evaporation, and boiling point of water is all at the same temperature. Thus liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars.  Planets with high-pressure atmospheres would have liquid surface water. But life forms would have difficulty with respiratory systems at high-pressure atmospheres.


 * Galactic habitable zone also called the Galactic Goldilocks zone is the place in a galaxy in which the need parameters to support life to exist. Not all galaxies are able to support life. Cosmic rays at a high level also kill life, as there are health threat from cosmic rays. Galaxies with many stars too close together and without any dust protection, would not have a place for life. Irregular galaxies and other small galaxies do not have enough heavy elements that are needed for life. Elliptical galaxy are full of lethal radiation and lack heavy elements. Large spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, have the heavy element need for life. Not all Large spiral galaxies are the same, spiral galaxies with too much active star formation can kill the galaxy. Too little star formation and the spiral arms will collapse. Not all spiral galaxies have the correct Galactic ram pressure stripping parameters, too much ram pressure can deplete the galaxy of gas and thus end star formation.  The like the Milky Way is barred spiral galaxy. The bar is important to star formation and metallicity of the galaxy's stars and planets. Barred spiral galaxy, must have stable arms with the just right star formation. Bars galaxies are in about 65% of spiral galaxies, but most have too much star formation. A Peculiar galaxy lacks stable spiral arms. Irregular galaxy as too many new stars and lacks heavy elements.  Unbarred spiral galaxy, not correct star formation and metallicity.  For long term life on a planet, the spiral arms must be stable for a long period of time, as in the Milky Way. The spiral arms must not be too close to each other, or there will be too much ultraviolet radiation. If the planet moves into or across a spiral arm the orbits of the planets could change, from gravitational disturbances. Movement across a spiral arms also would cause deadly asteroid impacts and high radiation. A galaxy with spiral arm also would have to many asteroid impacts.    The planet must be in the correct place in the spiral galaxy, too close to the center and the center bar's radiation and gravitational force is too great for life. Too far from the center and there is not enough heavy elements for life. The Sun in 28,000 light years from the center bar in the galactic goldilocks zone. At this distance the Sun revolves in the galaxy at the same rate as the spiral-arm rotation.


 * Habitable Zone for Complex Life (HZCL), would be the place that all the life habitable zones overlap for a long period of time, as in the Solar system. Other factors would included: very stable stars with correct color, stable asteroid belts; gas giant planets to protect the life on the planet from large asteroids and comets; all planets having near circular orbits; large moon to stabilize the planet, correct planet size; correct planet core; life forms that change with the star's brightness; plate tectonics; carbon cycle; stable water cycle; correct land to ocean area; correct atmospheric pressure and correct atmospheric gases.   Because research has not found other very stable stars (solar twin) or earth like exoplanets (Earth twin), the Rare Earth hypothesis as been gaining more evidence. The list of habitable zones for complex life has grown longer as more knowledge of the universe, galaxies and the solar system are gained.

==Life== Life on Earth is carbon-based There are theories that life could be based on other elements in the periodic table. Other elements proposed have been silicon, boron, arsenic, ammonia, methane and others. As more research as been done on life on Earth, it has been found that only carbon's organic molecules have the complicity and stability to form life. Carbon properties allows for complex chemical bonding that produces covalent bonds needed for organic chemistry. Carbon molecules are lightweight and relatively small in size. Carbon's ability to bond to oxygen, hydrogen,nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur (called CHNOPS) is key to life.

Pacific War Naval Bases
Pacific Ocean Areas Pacific War Naval Bases



US Pacific war Naval Bases were a number of United States Navy bases in Pacific Ocean during World War II to support the island hoping Pacific war efforts of the allied nations fighting the Empire of Japan from 1941 to 1945.

==History==

After World War I, in which Japan fought on the Allied side, Japan took control of German bases in China and the Pacific. In 1919, the League of Nations approved Japan's mandate over the German islands north of the equator. The United States did not want any mandates and was concerned with Japan's aggressiveness. As such, the Wilson Administration transferred 200 Atlantic warships to the Pacific Fleet in 1919. The Port of San Diego, not yet developed, was too shallow to handle the battleships, so San Pedro Submarine Base became a Naval Base on August 9, 1919. San Pedro Submarine Base and Long Beach became fleet anchorage for the 200 ships. In 1940, President Roosevelt had the fleet at San Pedro moved and stationed at Honolulu's Naval Base Pearl Harbor due to Japanese war actions in China. While the United States was committed to Neutrality in the 1930s, Japan's aggression against China had caused concern. On December 29, 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed transferring the Johnston Atoll and Wake Island to the US Navy under the 14th Naval District, Pearl Harbor, in order to establish an air station and refuge - breeding ground for native birds. On 9 January 1941, the transport ship USS William Ward Burrows (AP-6) arrived at Wake Island with a crew of the Contractors Pacific Naval Air Bases, to start construction of the Naval Air Station Wake.

On February 14, 1941, President Roosevelt signed to create naval defense areas in the central Pacific US territories. The order called for the formation of :
 * Palmyra Island Naval Defensive Sea Area, with Palmyra Island Naval Airspace Reservation
 * Johnston Island Naval Defensive Sea Area, with Johnston Island Naval Airspace Reservation
 * Midway Island Naval Defensive Sea Area, with Midway Island Naval Airspace Reservation
 * Wake Island Naval Defensive Sea Area, with Wake Island Naval Airspace Reservation
 * Kingman Reef Naval Defensive Sea Area, with Kingman Reef Naval Airspace Reservation".

On the Battle of the Atlantic side, Roosevelt had already signed on September 2, 1940, the Destroyers-for-bases deal with the United Kingdom. Given the US Navy bases in the Caribbean and Newfoundland]]: Naval Base Trinidad and Naval Station Argentia.

Before the United States entered World War II, the United States Armed Forces began preparing for war by building up naval bases in the Pacific. Before World War II the US had Naval bases in US Territories: Hawaii, American Samoa, Naval Base Guam and the Philippines. The United States entered World War II after Hawaii's Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941. At the same time, Guam was invaded and occupated. Also at the same time, Wake Island was invaded and the Philippines were invaded. The Naval bases in Guam, Wake and Philippines were lost to Japan. On 6 June 1942 a small US Navy weather station in Kiska, Aleutian, Alaska was lost also. Wake was not reclaimed till after the war and the other bases were retaken during the war.

To fight the Pacific War a vast amount of supplies were needed to support the thousands of US Troops in the Pacific. United States put into place the Emergency Shipbuilding program, which built a vast number of Merchant Navy ships and US Navy ships in a short time span. Most of the Naval bases and Army airfields were built by the US Navy Construction Battalion, called Seabee. The Seabee of World War II had ships, training, heavy equipment and Advance Base Construction Depots (ABCD) with the supplies needed to built new advance bases across the Pacific. Combat Seabee were also used to form beachhead ports in amphibious landings. Seebee Construction Battalion Maintenance Units were used to operate Naval ports and airbases.

During World War II the Navy performed different roles in the Pacific war, the main roles were:
 * Naval Battles
 * Supply Chain, and logistic support
 * Stopping Japan's Supply Chain (PT Boats and submarines
 * Support of landings - land battles
 * Anti-submarine warfare
 * Air Reconnaissance and sea Reconnaissance
 * Search and rescue or aircrews and seamen
 * Weather forecasting
 * Code breaking

Most troops in the US Armed Forces are in the support role of the small group that goes into combat zones. The supply chain is one of the largest groups of support troops.

==USO== With thousands of Troops stationed and fighting across the Pacific, the USO was an important part of moral boosting for many Troops. The United Service Organizations (USO) was founded in 1941 to lift the morale of our military and nourish support on the home front. The USO was formed by having existing organizations work together to support the Troops, the first groups were: Salvation Army, Young Men’s Christian Association, Young Women’s Christian Association, National Catholic Community Services, National Travelers Aid Association and the National Jewish Welfare Board. USO Hawaii serve all the military bases in Hawaii. USO operated Clubs in non-combat base like Hawaii.

One of the major events during World War II was the Bob Hope show. Hope called his 1944 USO World War II military tour of the South Pacific: “Loew’s Malaria Circuit” and “the Pineapple Circuit”. Hope, Jerry Colona, Frances Langford, musician guitarist Tony Romano and Patty Thomas did 150 shows in the two 1/2 months they were on road. Hope and Thomas would do Soft shoe dance together in the show and Thomas would do solo tap dance numbers. Sp the Troops could Patty Thomas tap dance Hope followed her around a microphone. Also on the tour were singer Gale Robbins, musicians June Brenner and Ruth Denas, and comedians Roger Price and Jack Pepper. The tours visited: Naval Base Pearl Harbor Hawaii at the Nimitz Bowl, Naval Base Eniwetok, Naval Base Cairns, Green Islands, Bougainville, Milner Bay, Naval Base Treasury Islands, Naval Base Mios Woendi called Wendy Island, and Naval Base Kwajalein.

== Doolittle Raid==

After the devastating attack at Pearl Harbor the United States needed a moral boot. The answer came in a bold plan to attack the Japan's homeland. The Doolittle Raid was carried out by 16 North American B-25 Mitchell bombers launched from the deck the aircraft carrier, USS Hornet (CV-8) on 18 April 1942. All 16 planes bomber Japan. While know of the planes returned to service, most of the crew did. The raid did cause Japan to divert resources to protecting the homeland.

==Code breaking==

Fleet Radio Unit Pacific, also called Station HYPO, was the US Navy's codebreaking unit in Hawaii. The Navy unit was used in breaking Japanese naval codes. The US Navy's Station CAST and Fleet Radio Unit at Naval Base Melbourne was the other unit working on codebreaking. The unit at Naval Base Cavite and Naval Base Manila's Corregidor Island was lost with the fall of the Philippines in 1942. Station HYPO was key in finding the planned attack on Midway in 1942.

==Kamikaze == As Japan continued to lose ships, planes, occupated lands, and troops, it turned some of its planes and pilots into suicide attack planes. Planes full of bombs and gas tried to crash into US Navy ships. Japan launched about 3,041 kamikaze attacks during World War II, about 19% of kamikaze planes made it to their target. About 7,000 US Navy men were killed in the attacks starting in October 1944 in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Kamikaze sank 34 Navy ships and damaged 368 others ships. The Merchant Navy lost 6 ships, including ammunition ships that sank with an explosion after kamikaze attack in 1945: SS Canada Victory, SS Hobbs Victory, SS Logan Victory, SS John Burke, and SS Lewis L. Dyche. The US response was an increase of bombings of Japan-held airfields, improved anti-aircraft fire, aircraft defense and Combat air patrol. By the end of the war, Japan was running out of planes and pilots to defend Japan.

==Submarine Bases==

Many US Navy submarines were used in the Pacific War. The submarine attacked warships and sank supply ships that were needed by Japan to resupply their many bases in the Pacific. US subs also did reconnaissance patrols, landed guerrilla special forces and search and rescue missions for downed aircrew mem. US submarine had long ranges, but needed to be resupplied with fuel, food, torpedoes and deck gun shells. At submarine bases the Navy had both land ad floating submarine bases. The submarine tenders like the: USS Sperry (AS-12) and USS Sumner (AGS-5) could be stationed in advanced base to supply the submarines. While the submarine was being resupplied, and repaired if needed, crews could have a break (R&R) on tenders and at some bases land recreation centers.

==Destroyer bases==

Hundreds of US Navy destroyers were used in the Pacific war. Destroyers were used to protect capital ships like aircraft carriers, battleships and heavy cruisers. Destroyers were used to screen and protect convoy of ships. Destroyers were used to hunt submarines and protect amphibious landings at beaches. Destroyers had anti-aircraft guns, radar, and forward-launched ASW weapons, dual-purpose guns, depth charges, and torpedoes. Like the submarines, they needed to be restocked with food, fuel, supplies, and weaponss to keep operational. Both land bases and floating destroyer bases with destroyer tenders were used in the Pacific war. Destroyer tenders could do minor repair work on the ships. Some of destroyer tenders of Pacific war: USS Cascade (AD-16), USS Prairie (AD-15), USS Piedmont (AD-17), USS Yosemite (AD-19), USS Hamul (AD-20), USS Dixie (AD-14), and USS Sierra (AD-18).

==Seaplane bases== The US Navy operated many seaplane base across the Pacific. Seaplanes did reconnaissance patrols and search, also rescue missions for downed aircrew mem and survivors of sunk ships. The most common seaplanes at the bases were Consolidated PBY Catalina and Martin PBM Mariner. The seaplanes were supported by both land bases and floating base of seaplane tenders. At land bases, a seaplane ramp was constructed so by the seaplane could be taken onto land for repair work more easily. Seaplane tenders and land base had stores to supply: food, fuel, ammo, spare parts. The seaplane tender also had housing and mess halls for the aircrew while the seaplane was being serviced. Seaplane tenders moved to more forward bases as the war progressed. Some of the Pacific War seaplane tender were: USS Corson (AVP-37), USS Hamlin (AV-15), USS Casco (AVP-12), *USS Suisun, USS Chandeleur (AV-10), USS Mackinac (AVP-13), USS Barataria (AVP-33) and USS Chincoteague (AVP-24).

==Crash rescue boats==

crash boats were fast boats use to rescue downed airmen. Often stationed near airfields. By the end of World War II, America had produced 300,000 planes, creating a need to have crash rescue boats stationed around the globe. These boats were fast boats used to rescue pilots, crew and passengers from downed aircraft in search and rescue and air-sea rescue missions. The boats would race out to a crash site and rescue wounded aircrew. Some speed boats built before the war were acquired and converted to be crash boats and many new boats were built. After the war, most were abandoned or destroyed, though a few served in the Korean war (with United States Air Force), while some sold to private and some donated to Sea Scouts. By the Korean war the helicopter had taken the place of the crash boat in rescuing pilots and aircrews. ==Submarine chaser base== To help protect the bases and shipping around the base, the Navy had a fleet of submarine chasers. The submarine chasers were supported by a submarine chaser tender ships like the, USS Mindanao (ARG-3). ARG ships also support crash boats and PT Boats. Some of the submarine chasers: USS PC-1137, USS PC-598, USS PC-1136, USS PGM-18, and USS PC-1138.

==PT Boat Bases=== Many PT Boat Bases were built across the Pacific. PT Boat were wooden boats that were small, fast and able to attack large ships. PT Boats used the same torpedoes as the submarines so the PT-Boats could also operate out of the few Submarine Base. PT Boat also anti-aircraft guns for protection. PT Boats like: PT-20 and Patrol torpedo boat PT-29 were the first to shot at Japan planes in the war. In addtion to the many small PT Boat bases, usually hidden in topical isandls, PT Boats operated off PT Boat Tenders, usually designated: Motor torpedo boat tender, Patrol Craft Tender and Internal combustion engine repair ship In 1943 PT Boats wtih Suadron 26, (PT-255 thru PT-264) were stationed at Pearl Harbor. PT Boats had a range of about 500 miles and were armed with four .50-caliber machine guns and four 21-inch torpedo tubes.

==Repair bases and depots== With the vast US Navy Pacific Fleet ships and boats needed regular repair work and damage repair. Some ships were also damaged in typhoons. The repair bases and depots provided the fleet with support to keep ships and subs tactically available in the Pacific War with the repair and supply depot, rather than ships having to return to continental United States. The Navy had built special auxiliary floating drydocks that were able to repair battle damage to even the largest ships and do regular maintenance in the field saving ships trans-pacific travel time for repair. Supply store ships were also at the base with the parts needed to keep the fleet ready. The Navy had a fleet of repair ships able to move to more advance bases as needed, or to help land bases keep up with repair demand. Some of the repair depot ships and crafts: USS AFDB-2, very large auxiliary floating drydock able to repair battleships, USS Richland (YFD-64) and auxiliary floating drydock, USS Oak Ridge (ARDM-1) an Auxiliary floating drydock, USS ARD-1 dry dock, USS Jason (AR-8) a large repair ship, USS Ajax as large repair ship, USS Nestor (ARB-6) repair ship and small craft tender, USS Oceanus (ARB-2) a battle damage repair ship, USS Vestal a large repair ship, USS Mona Island (ARG-9) a repair ship, USS Deliver (ARS-23) a rescue and salvage ship, USS Shackle (ARS-9) a rescue and salvage ship, YRB-34, Floating Workshop. Landing craft repair ships (ARL), like the Achelous-class repair ships, were used to repair Landing craft. Thousands of landing craft were built for World War II these ships supported the Landing craft fleet. Some ships had temporary repairs done in the field and then went to a major base for finial repairs and upgrades, base like: Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Mare Island Naval Shipyard, Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard

==Carrier Aircraft Service Units==

The US Navy and United States Marine Corps had hundreds of aircraft orating off aircraft carriers and land airbases across the Pacific. To keep the planes airworthy the Navy set up in 1942 aviation training facilities for Carrier Aircraft Service Unit (CASU) at Naval Base Hawaii's Ewa Field, Naval Air Station Kahului and NAS Puunene. Flight crews and air mechanics trained before heading out to the Pacific War. Also at some base, the Navy had shipped in spare planes to replace planes lost. Spare aircraft parts were stocked at both land depots and on aircraft stores ships like the, USS Supply (IX-147), USS Fortune (IX-146) and USS Grumium (AK-112).
 * Carrier aircraft used during World War II by US Navy: (years used) (number built)
 * Douglas TBD Devastator - torpedo bomber (1937-1944) (130)
 * Grumman F4F Wildcat - torpedo bomber (1941-1945) (7,885)
 * Grumman TBF Avenger - torpedo bomber (1941-1948) (9,839)
 * Grumman F6F Hellcat - fighter-bomber (1942-1947) (12,275)
 * Curtiss SB2C Helldiver - dive bomber (1943-1953) (7,140)
 * Vought F4U Corsair - fighter-bomber (1943-1953) (12,571)
 * A few North American T-6 Texan - Land Trainer aircraft were stationed at some bases. Aircraft carriers of World War II would have 70 to 100 planes on board. Escort carriers would carry 20 to 30 planes. US Navy and US Marines also operate the planes from land bases.

==Merchant Navy==

To supply both the United States Navy, United States Army, United States Marine Corps, United States Army Air Forces, United States Coast Guard and the US Allied Nations a massive amount of supplies needed to new transport to the base across the Pacific Ocean. The World War II United States Merchant Navy was the largest civilian Navy in the world. The demand for cargo and fuel was very high. American steamship companies chartered ships from the Maritime Commission and War Shipping Administration to meet the demand. Many United States Merchant Marine ships were newly built in the Emergency Shipbuilding Program, other ships were older World War I ships that were put back in service, or private ships acquired under Emergency war requisitions. The Merchant Navy operated in the Pacific War and European war. Merchant Navy at its peak had over 215,000 men operating the Merchant Navy ships. The losses by the end of the war was 8,651 crew deaths. Merchant Marine were killed at a per capita rate much higher than those of the combined United States Armed Forces.

“Demonstrating its ability to cruise over sea as well as over land, the Goodyear pony blimp, piloted by George Hockensmith, field manager, with Phill K. Coe, aeronautic sales manager, riding as a passenger, made a quick jaunt to Catalina and return yesterday. It made the return trip in one hour and five minutes. It was the first attempt of an airship to essay the forty-mile jump from Los Angeles to Catalina. A heavy fog bank lying directly over the island caused the Goodyear pilot to land well out in the bay to wait for it to life and permit him to get his bearings. By throwing out an anchor the airship rested gracefully on the surface of the water and was soon surrounded by a small fleet of fishing boats and other craft of all descriptions, tooting their whistles in welcome to the "yacht of the air."”

“First Avalon Blimp Trip. A pony blimp, manufactured by the Goodyear tire and Rubber Co. and piloted by George Hockensmith, field manager of the company, has completed the first trip to Catalina and return ever made by a dirigible.”

“Two Livest of Sports—Fishing and "Blimping". Trolling for halibut and barracuda in a blimp is the newest style of fishing in Southern California. Not only does it combine two of the most exhilirating sports known to man—aviation and angling—but it ensures successful fishing, according to the experience of a party of Goodyear flyers who recently inaugurated the sport off Portuguese bend, where ideal "blimp fishing" conditions were found...”

"With Mr. and Mrs. Philip Wrigley as the first passenger—Mrs. Wrigley being prepared to knit—the Goodyear pony blimp voyaged from Avalon to San Pedro yesterday morning in half an hour. Mrs. Wrigley said that didn't give her time to use her needles. George Hockensmith was pilot and the voyage was arranged by Lee Prettyman, manager of the aeronautic department of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Philip Wrigley is the son of William Wrigley Jr., owner of Santa Catalina Island. He and his wife are returning to Chicago after a visit to his parents.”

“Establishing the first passenger-carrying line in America, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. of California will inaugurate regular week-end passenger service between Los Angeles and Catalina island tomorrow. The line will be known as the Goodyear Pony Blimp Passenger Service. Offices of the Santa Catalina Co. at Avalon, Wilmington and Los Angeles will handle the business end under direction of Phil K. Coe. Passengers will be landed at the island on a large mooring raft from which they will be conveyed to shore in motor boats. On Saturdays and Sundays the blimp will take the riders on a 30-minute "hops" over the island and Avalon bay. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays the craft will make flights from the Goodyear air station at Eighty-third and Main streets.”

==Mission Airport==
 * Mission Airport was an 162-acre airport in San Gabriel, California. Mission Airport was located just north of Mission Road and Delmar Avenue, about 10 miles east of downtown Los Angeles at 34.08934°N, -118.10711°W. The airport had three oiled runways running mostly east-west. The Mission Airport had both a Southern Pacific Railroad Main Line stop and a Pacific Electric Interurba streetcar stop. Pancho Barnes' cousin Dean Banks has his plane at Mission Airport. The site is now the San Gabriel High School, Alhambra Golf Course, Almansor Park, Vincent Lugo Park and houses.

==Alhambra Airport==

Alhambra Airport also called the Western Air College Airport was an airport in Alhambra, California from 1928 to 1946 at 34.078°N, -118.114°W. The Airport was founded by the Western Air Express on 157-acre of land. The airport had a single 2,830-foot asphalt northeast/southwest runway. The Western Air Express built a unique hanger, that was a 44-foot hexagonal shape able to work on 6 aircraft at once. Western Air Express also build an air terminal building and a conventional hanger. Western Air Express at the opening operated Fokker F-32 from the airport. Western Air Express held a large dedication ceremony on April 17, 1930 for the new air terminal. The US Forest Service operated a patrol aircraft out of the airport to keep an eye out on the nearby San Gabriel Mountains. Just one year after the dedication ceremony, both Western Air Express and Transcontinental, which also had flights out of the airport move to the Burbank Airport and Glendale Grand Central Airport. With no scheduled flights, the Alhambra Airport became a private airport. A Western Air College flight school opened at the airport and some other small commercial operations. In 1946 Harlow Aircraft Company sold the airport to real estate developers, the north part of the site is now commercial property and the remaining is houses. The Airport was located at what is now Valley Boulevard to the north, New Ave to the east, Almansor Street to the west and the Interstate 10 to the south. Western Air Express later became part of Western Airlines. Western Air College Airport also operated out of the Rosemead Airport for some years. Western Air Express operated out of the Vail Airport in Montebello before moving its operation to the Alhambra Airport.

==Vail Airport==

Vail Airport, Montebello was an airport in Montebello, California from 1926 to 1953 at 34.004°N, -118.134°W. The airport was owned and operated by Western Air Express. Western Air Express purchased 700 acres of Vail farm to build the private airport from the Vail brothers. The vast airport was boarded by Telegraph Road on the south, Ferguson Drive on the north, Tusbway Avenue on the west, and Tusbway Avenue to the east. A group of Los Angeles entrepreneurs founded Western Air Express and the airport to cash in on the Air Mail Act of 1925 that opened up bidding on air mail contracts. Western Air Express purchased six Douglas mailplanes model M-2 to start the company. Western Air Express built two 2 unpaved runways running north-south in the middle of the lot, along the current Yates Avenue. A nearby movie studio building was turned into the main hangar and three more were built. Western Air Express won an airmail contract run from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City in 1926. In 1927 the local airport became famous as Charles Lindbergh landed The Spirit of St. Louis at the airport on a nationwide. Leland A. Bryant designed and built his racing aircraft at Vail Airport starting in 1927. Ryan Mechanics built the Lone Eagle CM-1 at Vail Airpor in 1928.

In 1928 Western Air Express took over Pacific Marine Airways airport service at Hamilton Cove Seaplane Base on Catalina Island, California. In 1931 Western Air Express service which to using 10 passengers Douglas Dolphin, a twin-engined seaplane for the Hamilton Cove service. In 1931 the Western Air Express Hamilton Cove seabase service was taken over by Wilmington-Catalina Airlines which was owned by the Wrigley family. The Union Oil Company supported a Glider Club at the airport in the 1930s. Western Air Express mail service moved to Alhambra Airport in 1930. To support the Koran War, in 1950, 11th US Coast Guard Auxiliary District operated out of Vail Field operating search & rescue mission in all of southern California. Vail Field was closed in 1953, the hangars were moved to Alameda Street and used by the Belyea Trucking company. The site of Vail Airport is all commercial property today.

The Western College of Aeronautics and the Warren School of Aeronautics operate both ground and flying schools, but specialize in the ground work which is most complete. Special courses in instruments and navigation are offered at the Warren School under the direction of Lieut. Comdr. Clarence S. Williams. A comprehensive study of aeronautical enginering at the Western College of Aeronautics is carried on under William J. Waterhouse.

Several of the more successful large flying schools have developed special work in connetion with the flight train- ing. The American Aircraft Corp., Western distributor of Waco airplanes has graduated 107 students of flying during the past two years. From five to nine Waco biplanes are always on the line ready for student instruc- tion. Three pilots, a wing and rigging expert and an engine man are employed in the school work. Regular

The hangar, observation lower and plane of the Galt Joint Union High School and Junior College

lectures for the students are carried on, Theodore T. Hull, president of the American Aircraft Corp., teaching Aerial Law; and Miss Helen Lee, secretary, giving a course in cost finding and cost analysis for men who expect to enter the work of airport operation. Classes in airport construction and maintenance are also conduct- ed, grading work being done with a caterpillar tractor, and overhaul of field landing and boundary lights being regularly performed.

The Aero Corporation of California has found an elab- orate system of check sheets and student tickets to be profitable. Every student must obtain a ticket before approaching his instructor. One third of this ticket remains in the stub book as a permanent record, one third is kept by the student as a receipt, and one third of the ticket is used by the pilot instructor who turns these tickets in to the chief instructor each day with a report and list of recommendations noted on the back. Time in the air is indicated on the ticket by the pilot and this is checked by a separate check sheet operated by a man on the flying field who is constantly on duty to keep a per- manent record of all airplanes arriving and departing, pilot doing the flying, passengers or students carried, service work on the airplane, destination, etc. This work of collepting written information on the progress of stu- dents has greatly increased the efficiency of the school.

The California Airways School at Telegraph Road and Atlantic Boulevard has concentrated on safe flying and trining.

Anthropic principle inequality
Anthropic principle inequality is a term introduced by Brandon Carter, a British mathematician in 1983. The new term was introduced to the scientific community to expand on the his earlier term, the Anthropic principle introduced in 1973. Carter calculated and noted that in the study of the universe scientist had found that it took a minimum of several billion years for the universe to produce a place suitable for advanced life (like human life, life on land), but in contrast advanced life can only survive in the universe for a few million years. This is a large inequality of time. Several billion years of stellar burning in stars are needed to produce all the chemical elements needed for a rocky planet, stable planetary system, stable Sun and life.

In 1987, physicist Paul Davies, concluded in his The Cosmic Blueprint book, that the physical evidence for design of the universe and of Earth for human life could rightly be described as overwhelming.

In 1986 physicists John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler calculations showed that advanced civilization cannot be sustained as even as long as Brandon Carter calculations. Their estimated is that human civilization on earth living at its current high technology level and population levels could last no more than about 41,000 years on earth or any where in the universe. By their calculations advanced civilization cannot be sustain more than this limit anywhere in the universe, due to the limits of the universe.

No matter if the Weak Anthropic Principle is used or the Strong Anthropic Principle, advanced life cannot be rush in the universe, it takes 13.7 Billion year for the universe to have a place for advanced life, notably a rocky planet and a very stable burning star-sun.

Ulf-G. Meißner, a German scholar and chair in theoretical nuclear physics at the Helmholtz Institute, University of Bonn, added with a series of discoveries that support this anthropic principle. Stephen Hawking, wrote in A Brief History of Time about a number of astrophysics proprieties and constants that support the Anthropic Principle theory. Hawking noted the universe starts with a very critical rate of expansion needed for life and still is expanding at nearly the critical rate. Meißner noted "If the rate of expansion one second after the Big Bang had been smaller by even one part in a hundred thousand million million, the universe would have recollapsed before it ever reached its present size."



Anthropic principle
There are a few Anthropic principle variants models, but in common to all these models, is that all the properties and characteristics of the universe needed for human life on Earth or any were in the universe, must be correct, before life existed anywhere in the universe. These properties must be in a narrow range given raise to the fine-tuned Universe proposition. The Cambrian explosion, during which most major animal phyla appeared, as indicated by the fossil record, happen about. This was earliest the event could have happen, as at this time Earth's oxygen levels increased to a level that would support derives forms of life. Before the Cambrian explosion, oxygen levels did not increase substantially in the atmosphere.

The first person to make the anthropic principle popular was American physicist John Archibald Wheeler He wrote "A life-giving factor lies at the centre of the whole machinery and design of the world."

== Limitations, the inequality== Barrow and Tipler listed properties of the universe and Earth that limits any advanced life on Earth or any place in the universe. Here are some of the findings:


 * The second law of thermodynamics, also called the entropy limits advanced civilization. The universe is running out of useful energy and will continue to grow dark and cold, this is not good for advanced civilization. This is called the heat death of the universe.
 * The expansion rate of the universe is increasing at a ever faster and faster rate. This cosmic expansion will increase entropy to bring a cold dark universe.
 * The Earth's rotation is slowing, this slower rate will cause longer and hots days and longer and colder night. This slowing will make an inhospitable environmental for due to atmospheric changes. Note: Earth's rotation was faster in the past and was an inhospitable environmental for advanced civilization, but not bacteria.
 * Solar stability will decrease. Our Sun currently is the most stable stars in the Milky Way. The sun currently has a very low of light variance of only .1%, so small it has no impact on Earth's climate. As the sun ages solar flares and solar radiation will increase. The unstable sun of the future, will make Earth inhospitable for advanced civilization and then later all life. Currently solar luminosity variation is 0.1%. This due to the Sun being a G2V star with a 5,778K temperature, 4.6 billion years old, with the correct metallicity and size. Stars with an age of 4.6 billion years are at the most stable state. Proper metallicity and size are also very important to low luminosity variation.
 * Solar luminosity will increase. As the sun brighten human life will not be able to survive. The Sun is increasing by about 0.05 percent per decade.
 * Sub-replacement fertility caused by declining birth rates around the world, short term this is only a minor problem, but long term will effect advanced civilization.
 * Increasing genetic disorders, A single-gene disorder is the result of a single mutated gene. Over 4000 human diseases are caused by single-gene defects. Single-gene disorders can be passed on to subsequent generations, with new mutations being added by to the population.
 * Natural disaster to the environment on Earth can create a global catastrophic risk like: large volcanic eruption, or nearby Near-Earth supernova or a large Impact event.


 * Environmental disaster to the natural environment due to human activity is an increase risk.

Planetary habitability

Scientist studying Earth's place in the solar system have over the years discovered more habitable zones. The first habitable zone, called Circumstellar habitable zone is the water habitable zone. was publised in 1953 by Hubertus Strughold. The water habitable zone, is often just called the the "habitable zone". Over the years other habitable zone have been discover, studied and record. Rory Barnes, a University of Washington postdoctoral researcher in astronomy noted. "The best places to look for habitability are where this new definition and the old definition overlap.” In other words look at places that the water habitable zone overlaps with the newer discovered habitable zones.

==Water habitable zone== Habitable zone HZ or the goldilocks Zone, is normally referring to the water habitable zone. In a water habitable zone a planet is able to have liquid water some where on the planet for a short period of time. It is agreed that for life liquid water is required. In the water habitable zone the plants stellar radius and distance from a single star, creates a place where there there is liquid water. To close to the star the surface of the planet is too hot for liquid water. Too far way on outer radius and all water on the surface freezes. This stars variation XXX. There are also theories that the other heat sources could create liquid water, such as plants core. Earth has a large amount of liquid water, H2O. Earth also has water in its other two states ice and vapor. Earth has H2O precipitate in different forms: rain, mist, fog, snow, hail, Freezing rain and sleet.

==Ultraviolet habitable zone== Ultraviolet habitable zone is determined from the plants parent star temperature, the distance from the star and the planet's atmosphere. Too much ultraviolet radiation damages life, but too little and synthesis cannot be effective. A star with a color temperature above 7100K, the ultraviolet radiation (UV) habitable zone is then found out beyond the water habitable zone. A star with a color temperature below 4,600K, then UV habitable zone is found closer to the star than the water habitable zone. Earth has a stable color temperature of 7,137K.

==Photosynthetic habitable zone== Photosynthetic habitable zone is the zone that allows the correct amount of carbon dioxide levels in the planet's atmosphere. Too much carbon dioxide would create a runaway greenhouse effect and too little carbon dioxide green plants would be unable to maintain efficient photosynthesis. Note, after much research, it has been found that only carbon as enough stable molecules to make carbon-based life. Silicon, arsenic and boron were past candidates for life, but these molecules quickly fall apart or only make crystals. Only carbon molecules are strong and diverse enough for life. Earth's atmosphere currently has a carbon dioxide level of 0.039%. Other atmosphere gases are: 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen and 0.93% argon. But these levels where different in the past.

==Ozone habitable zone== Ozone habitable zone is zone that gives a planet a needed ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. The planet surface temperatures must be correct to allow for ozone shield. A too thin ozone level would allow too much UV radiation at the surface. Too much UV radiation damages life.

==Planetary rotation rate habitable zone== Planetary rotation rate habitable zone is zone that a stable planet rotation period exist. If too slow Diurnal temperature variation would be too great for life. If too fast surface atmospheric wind velocities would be too great for life. Earth's rotation rate is currently 23 56 4.098903691., and slowing, Earth rotation was faster in the past. Earth's rotation period relative to the precessing or moving mean vernal equinox, misnamed its sidereal day, is 86,164.09053083288 seconds of mean solar time (UT1) (23 56 4.09053083288). Thus the sidereal day is shorter than the stellar day by about 8.4 ms. The length of the mean solar day in SI seconds is available from the IERS for the periods 1623–2005 and 1962–2005.

==Planetary obliquity habitable zone== Planetary obliquity habitable zone is define as the zone that a planet has a stable axial tilt. If the axial tilt varies to much the surface temperature differences would be too great for life and stable water. For a rocky planets orbiting in the water habitable zones of a star that is prominently 90% of the Sun’s mass will only have a obliquity zone for more than a billion years. In low mass stars the primordial obliquities is lost much sooner. Earth currently has a stable axial tilt of about 23.4°.

==Tidal habitable zone== A dim star, like a red dwarf star, with a planet in the water habitable zone, would be so close to the star that it would have tidal locking to the star, one side with permanent day and the other permanent night side. Plate tectonics are important for climate stability and the stable surface temperatures. To much tectonic forces can destroy life. Tidal lock planets would also make one side the planet too hot and the other too cold. Water habitable zone would be very small spot on the plant dark to light side, diurnal temperature variation would be very large. Thus the habitability of red dwarf systems is challenging.

==Atmosphere habitable zone== Atmosphere habitable zone is the star's solar wind, the siz of the planet and plant's magnetic field The solar wind is made of charged particles, this plasma is made of electrons, protons and alpha particles. Earth's magnetic field is very large and give Earth protection from the solar wind and high-energy cosmic radiation. Without the magnetic field, the solar wind would blow away Earth's atmosphere, this happened on Mars. Radiation is deadly to life.

==Electric Wind habitable zone== Electric Wind habitable zone, Venus Express spacecraft's electron spectrometer measured the electric potential in Venus's atmosphere. Venus's atmospheric electric field was measured to be 10 volts. This was a high level than astronomers expected the measurement to be. The 10 volts creates in Venus's atmosphere an electric. This wind is powerful and thus pushes all the ionosphere's heavy ions into outer space. So both Venus's high temperature and atmospheric electric field have removed all Venus's oxygen ions in Venus's water molecules.
