NASA carried out a full-scale test of a solid rocket motor in the Utah desert Tuesday. It's the most heavily instrumented solid rocket motor in the space agency's history. (Aug. 31)
Presented by collectSPACE.com -- The Source for Space History and Artifacts. NASA and ATK Aerospace Systems successfully completed on Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2010, a two-minute, full-scale test of the largest and most powerful solid rocket motor designed for flight. The motor is potentially transferable to future heavy-lift launch vehicle designs. The stationary firing of the first-stage development solid rocket motor, dubbed DM-2, was the most heavily instrumented solid rocket motor test in NASA history. More than 760 instruments measured 53 test objectives. VIdeo credit NASA TV

Dear Danielle, Here is my last vacation "catch up" video. I should be able to finish editing yesterdays video by tonight. :D Finally, I can catch my breath. Love, Breanna
We Are Change Utah spent the day placing 9/11 truth flyers and cards on vehicles in several mall parkinglots followed by a bannering at 106th..... So the first security officer told us that we were on mall property and that we needed to move east to state street. Then the second security officer came out with the first one and the second officer who was the supervisor came up and told us that we were on public property and that we could stay. Turns out the second officer who was the supervisor was actually the former Captain of Salt Lake City Fire and I spent some time talking to him about building seven and he agreed with us that no fire could bring down building 7 let alone 2 fires. Anyways we departed on good terms with the supervisor of security. I apologize the audio wasn't in there I thought I had done that. The song is by Three Shoes Posse and it is called 10 second freefall, their website is threeshoesposse.com

Three such projects are seen here. The projects demonstrate their cost effectiveness when it comes to range fires and clean air.

Newly released CCTV video shows the moment a fiery gas explosion ripped through a Utah refinery earlier this month. The US Chemical Safety Board on Tuesday released the video and its preliminary findings of what led to the November 4th blast at the Silver Eagle Refinery in Woods Cross. The blast damaged 10 homes but caused no serious injuries. On Friday, board Chairman John Bresland recommend More..ed that the plant shut down as quickly as possible. He says investigators in recent days developed serious concerns about the plant's equipment. He says the plant could be restarted once any needed repairs are made and investigators can determine it's safe to reopen. Silver Eagle confirmed it agreed to the shutdown. Investigators haven't made a final determination on what caused the blast. Preliminary findings indicate that the explosion happened when a 10-inch (25,4 centimetres) pipe failed catastrophically. On January 12th, four people were seriously burned at Silver Eagle when a 440000 gallon (1665581.2 litres) storage tank caught fire and burned for 11 hours. The refinery in Woods Cross had fires in 2003, 2005 and 2007, according to federal records

This siren just happened to sound (today when I uploaded this, 09/14/09) on the same day as the grand opening of Payson, Utah's first Walgreen's store, 2 weeks after their first day (soft opening). Merely coincidental, since the grand opening seemed quiet, slow, and somewhat lame to me--although they did give us free ice cream bars! How nice--I really liked that part of it! They also sold us hot dogs with chips and drinks for only $1.00, too. Celebrational siren I seriously doubt, though that would've been interesting, although overdone. Nearby Elk Ridge's siren IS sounded at the start of the city celebration's Mayor's Breakfast, though. A thunder storm was brewing in, and I wondered why the siren was sounding for just that. I've lived around Payson for about 27 years (19 in Spanish Fork, 8 in Elk Ridge), and not too far away from there even now, for a while, and don't remember ever hearing that old Federal Signal STH-10 siren (the model with a single row of projection horns in a whole circle) sound before. In fact, though I've driven down this road many times, this is the first time I remember noticing that I could see that siren right from that road. The station is but about 2 or so blocks away, but I don't remember seeing that siren right from that road before. I guess the loud sound has a way of directing your vision to it. I wondered when I'd ever get to hear that siren, and now I have, finally. Well, maybe I did hear it while visiting my grandparents there, but I ...

Beginning August 26, 2009, and continuing into September 2009, a large wildfire in the Angeles National Forest north of Los Angeles known as the Station Fire burned more than 140000 acres through September 3. Carbon monoxide in the smoke from this large fire was lofted as high as 8.3 kilometers (27000 feet) into the atmosphere, where it was observed by JPL's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument onboard NASA's Aqua satellite. This movie, created using continuously updated data from NASA's "Eyes on the Earth 3-D" feature on NASA's global climate change website, shows three-day running averages of daily AIRS retrievals of the abundance of carbon monoxide present at 5.5 kilometers (18000 feet). AIRS is most sensitive to carbon monoxide at this altitude, which is a region conducive to long-range transport of the smoke. As the carbon monoxide is lifted by the fire's heat and blows downwind, it appears in the August 30 AIRS map north and east of the fire as a yellow to red plume that stretches from Southern California across Nevada and Utah. The plume is transported eastward on subsequent days, crossing Denver on August 31, southeastward to Texas on September 1, and reaching the Louisiana Gulf Coast on September 2. As the plume moves further east, mixing of carbon monoxide down to Earth's surface could adversely impact air quality, as it has already done in Salt Lake City and Denver. Previous studies using AIRS data have documented the impact of distant fires on air ...
Two government-managed fires that blew up into big problems over the weekend have raised the heat on a political issue: Should fires be allowed to burn, and should "designated wilderness" get the blame?

Mark Zinni reports for KTVX ABC 4 in Salt Lake City, Utah on the wildfires burning west of the city in Tooele County.
Hundreds of lightning strikes combined with gusting winds and bone-dry conditions to set the stage for a rash of wildfires across Utah that have kept crews scrambling and calling for additional help.
High winds blowing into northern Utah ahead of a storm have fanned fires and triggered road-closing dust storms. The biggest concern, however, is a three-alarm grass fire burning out of control near Salt Lake International Airport.
