Florida Keys shipwreck mystery solved | Synopsis

Florida Keys shipwreck mystery solved

Excerpt:

For even more than 100 years, the sunken ship off Key Largo, Fla. , was simply known as "Mike's Wreck," named after the staff member of a regional dive shop. But a team of archaeologists have actually lastly identified the ship that sunk right here in 1911 as the Hannah M. Bell, developed in England in 1893. The vessel as soon as transported sugar, cotton and other cargo between Europe, the United States and South America, according to a declaration from the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, where the Hannah M. Bell rests. The 315-foot (96 meter) steamship ran aground on a shallow reef understood today as Elbow Reef, found about 6 miles (10 kilometers) off Key Largo, on April 4, 1911. The vessel was loaded with coal bound for Vera Cruz, Mexico. For days, salvagers attempted to rescue the Hannah M.

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. -- NASA's PhoneSat project has won Popular Science's 2012 Best of What's New Award for innovation in aerospace. PhoneSat will demonstrate the ability to launch one of the lowest-cost, easiest-to-build satellites ever flown in space -- capabilities enabled by using off-the-shelf consumer smartphones. Each year, Popular Science reviews thousands of new products and innovations, and chooses the top 100 winners across 12 categories for its annual Best of What's New issue. To win, a product or technology must represent a significant step forward in its category. All of the winners will be featured in the December special issue of the magazine. "NASA's PhoneSat mission will demonstrate use of small satellites for space commerce, educational activities and citizen-exploration are well within the reach of ordinary Americans because of lower cost, commercially available components," said Michael Gazarik, director of NASA's Space Technology Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Pete Worden, director of NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., where a small team of engineers developed and built PhoneSat. "This approach allows engineers to see what capabilities commercial technologies can provide, rather than trying to custom-design technology solutions to meet set requirements."
