antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river.

auburn is a city in king county, washington, united states (with a small portion crossing into neighboring pierce county).the population was 87,256 at the 2020 census.auburn is a suburb in the seattle metropolitan area, and is currently ranked as the 14th largest city in the state of washington.auburn is bordered by the cities of federal way, pacific, and algona to the west, sumner to the south, kent to the north, and unincorporated king county to the east.the muckleshoot indian reservation lies to the south and southeast.several settler families arrived in the 1860s, including levi ballard, who set up a homestead between the green and white rivers.ballard filed for a plat to establish a town in february 1886, naming it slaughter for an officer slain during the indian wars in 1855.slaughter was incorporated on june 13, 1891, but its name was changed two years later to auburn on february 21, 1893, by an action of the state legislature.newer residents had disliked the name and its connection to the word 'slaughter', especially after the town's hotel was named the slaughter house.the name auburn was chosen in honor of auburn, new york, for the area's shared reliance on hops farming.the white and green rivers have been a major part of the history and culture of auburn since the area was settled with multiple locations in the city being named after either of the two rivers.frequent flooding from the rivers caused numerous problems for the people living in the community with one outcome being the creation of mountain view cemetery over on one of the hills overlooking the valley.it was not until the completion of the mud mountain dam and the howard a. hanson dam, along the white river and green river respectively, that the flooding would cease and allow the city to grow without the aforementioned hurdle impeding the growth.in 1917 the city, in response to the growing of the japanese community, donated some of the land in pioneer cemetery to the white river buddhist church.a little over ten years later, rev.giryo takemura, minister of the church at the time, and his future son-in-law, chiyokichi natsuhara, raised money to replace the old wooden sticks and columns that had been in use as gravestones at the cemetery with more durable concrete markers.the interwar period saw several japanese-american baseball teams from the area compete in the courier league with the white river all-stars enjoying particularly large success winning four of the july 4th tournaments.in 1930 a japanese bath house was constructed outside of neely mansion by the then current tenants.the onset of the second world war saw the japanese-american community of auburn become seen with largely unwarranted distrust by many of the white residents of auburn.this, combined with a larger countrywide japanese focused xenophobia, led to the city's japanese-american population being relocated to internment camps.after the war, of about 300 japanese families living in auburn only around twenty five returned.in 2008, auburn annexed the west hill and lea hill neighborhoods of unincorporated king county, adding 15,000 residents and expanding its land area by 26 percent.historically, the stuck river ran through the settlement of stuck, which is now a small pocket of unincorporated king county within southern auburn.in 1906, the flow of the white river was diverted into the stuck's channel near today's game farm park.references to the stuck river still appear in some property legal descriptions and place names, e.g.stuck river drive, within auburn, but today it is essentially indistinguishable from the southern white river.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

alan andrew martin (born 1 january 1989) is a scottish footballer who currently plays as a goalkeeper for gibraltar football league club manchester 62.martin has previously played for motherwell, leeds united, barrow, accrington stanley, ayr united, crewe alexandra, aldershot town, clyde, hamilton academical, dumbarton, queen of the south, east kilbride and edinburgh city.martin was an often used as a substitute for motherwell and failed to make a league appearance for them before moving on.rangers made enquiries about signing martin in 2007, before he joined league one club leeds united on an initial two-year contract on 31 august 2007, taking the opportunity to be more involved in a first team squad.despite not appearing for leeds he was offered a new contract in september 2008, and moved to barrow of the conference national on loan to get more first team experience.martin's time at barrow was extended to a season-long loan and he became a fans' favourite.martin was declared man-of-the-match in barrow's fa cup third-round game versus premier league club middlesbrough, receiving praise from the club's co-manager dave bayliss.injuries reduced martin's appearances for barrow towards the end of that season.despite suggestions that martin could be involved in the leeds first team for the 2009–10 season, he was loaned out again and joined accrington stanley of league two until january 2010.martin had his football league debut with stanley in the opening game of the season in a 1–0 defeat to rotherham united and fought for the number one jersey with fellow goalkeeper ian dunbavin.in total, martin played ten matches for accrington stanley.on 27 october 2009, leeds recalled him, with current number one goalkeeper shane higgs out with a thigh injury and loanee goalkeeper frank fielding having returned to his parent club.martin expected to be the back-up keeper for casper ankergren.martin was regularly on the bench whilst higgs was out injured, but he was displaced versus oldham athletic with david martin having arrived on loan from liverpool.however, martin returned as a leeds substitute versus huddersfield town, as leeds already had five loan players in the squad and david martin was therefore unable to be included.martin was part of the leeds squad that gained promotion to the championship, although he was confined to being third choice keeper behind shane higgs and casper ankergren.during the summer of 2010 ankergren left the club and was replaced by kasper schmeichel, which meant that martin continued to be only the third choice goalkeeper.on 4 august 2010, martin re-joined barrow on loan until january 2011.on 14 august 2010, martin made his second debut for barrow versus histon and conceded three goals in a 3–1 defeat.in october, after injuries to kasper schmeichel and shane higgs, leeds contemplated recalling martin to act as cover but decided to let him stay at barrow to help his development.on 4 january 2011, martin returned to leeds after barrow decided they couldn't afford to keep him.on 31 january 2011, martin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent, allowing him to find a new club, after the loan signing of manchester city goalkeeper david gonzález giraldo.after his release from leeds, martin moved back to scotland to sign for part-time club ayr united in south ayrshire.martin was the regular first choice keeper after signing and helped the somerset park club to win promotion to the scottish football league first division via the play-offs in may 2011.although being offered a contract at the honest men for the 2011–12, martin declined the offer when he stated he wanted to go back to full-time football.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

antares (), known during early development as taurus ii, is an expendable launch system developed by orbital sciences corporation (now part of northrop grumman) and the pivdenne design bureau to launch the cygnus spacecraft to the international space station as part of nasa's cots and crs programs.able to launch payloads heavier than 8,000 kg (18,000 lb) into low earth orbit, antares is currently the largest rocket operated by northrop grumman.antares launches from the mid-atlantic regional spaceport and made its inaugural flight on april 21, 2013.nasa awarded orbital a commercial orbital transportation services (cots) space act agreement (saa) in 2008 to demonstrate delivery of cargo to the international space station.for these cots missions orbital intends to use antares to launch its cygnus spacecraft.in addition, antares will compete for small-to-medium missions.originally designated the taurus ii, orbital sciences renamed the vehicle antares, after the star of the same name, on december 12, 2011.out of 17 total launches, antares has suffered one failure.during the fifth launch on october 28, 2014, the rocket failed catastrophically, and the vehicle and payload were destroyed.the rocket's first-stage engines were identified as the cause for the failure.a different engine was chosen for subsequent launches, and the rocket had a successful return to flight on october 17, 2016.the antares has flown two major design iterations, the 100 series and 200 series.both series have used a castor 30xl as an upper stage but have differed on the first stage.the 100 series used two kerolox powered aj26 engine in the first stage and launched successfully four times.the 100 series was retired following a launch failure in 2014.the 200 series which first flew in 2016 also featured a kerolox first stage but instead used two rd-181 engine along with other minor upgrades.the 200 series future became uncertain following the russian invasion of ukraine.due to the first stage being produced in ukraine and the engines in russia, future production of the rocket was unable to be continued.as a result northrop grumman entered into an agreement with firefly aerospace to build the first stage of the antares 300 series.northrop also contracted with spacex for 3 falcon 9 launches.a commercial resupply service contract of $1.9 billion for eight flights was awarded in 2008.as of april 2012, development costs were estimated at $472 million.in june 2008, it was announced that the mid-atlantic regional spaceport, formerly part of the wallops flight facility, in virginia, would be the primary launch site for the rocket.launch pad 0a (lp-0a), previously used for the failed conestoga rocket, would be modified to handle antares.wallops allows launches which reach the international space station's orbit as effectively as those from cape canaveral, florida, while being less crowded.the first antares flight launched a cygnus mass simulator.on december 10, 2009, alliant techsystems inc. (atk) test-fired their castor 30 motor for use on the second stage of the antares rocket.in march 2010, orbital sciences and aerojet completed test firings of the aj-26 engines.on february 22, 2013, a hot fire test was successfully performed, the entire first stage being erected on the pad and held down while the engines fired for 29 seconds.as orbital had little experience with large liquid stages and lox propellant, the first stage core was designed and is manufactured in ukraine by kb pivdenne and pivdenmash and includes propellant tanks, pressurization tanks, valves, sensors, feed lines, tubing, wiring and other associated hardware.like the zenit—also manufactured by yuzhmash—the antares vehicle has a diameter of 3.9 m (150 in) with a matching 3.9 m payload fairing.

1634: the bavarian crisis is a novel in the alternate history 1632 series, written by virginia demarce and eric flint as sequel to flint's novella 'the wallenstein gambit'; several short stories by demarce in the grantville gazettes; 1634: the ram rebellion; and 1634: the baltic war.the novel's first draft was completed in 2005, before work on the baltic war began.many chapters of that 'early draft version' were available on line, but the final production reached print on october 1, 2007.her stories regularly deal with historical social and social science matters, as may be expected from demarce's phd dissertation about the 1525 german peasants' war and her life work as a 17th-century european history specialist.the bavarian crisis was delayed due to the delayed start and completion of the preceding major work in the set, the baltic war.if the bavarian crisis had been published first, it would have contained plot spoilers for 1634: the baltic war.as it begins concurrently with the events revealed in that book and that of 1634: the galileo affair as well as 1634: the ram rebellion, the overall scope of plot detail (historical canvas) in the series might be readily intuited.as it is, most of the narrative in all four novels span the same period of 1634, the late winter-to-early summer, though 1634: the galileo affair expends a few early chapters within the year 1633 as backdrop activities within the catholic church and richelieu's offices are germane to the arch of the plotting.duke maximilian i, elector of bavaria becomes a widower in need of a suitable catholic bride, while the cardinal-infante ferdinand whose armies have reconquered 80–85% of the low countries by the summer of 1634 is contemplating a dynastic move of his own which his brother king philip iv of spain will find a bit disconcerting.veronica dreeson and mary simpson meanwhile plan a trip to tend to personal matters to the upper palatinate border region conquered by gustavus adolphus of sweden and administered for him from amberg by ally duke ernest of saxe-gotha, one of the four wettin dukes that were supplanted by grantville's (formation of the nus) actions in 1631 and 1632.events in the other 1634 novels (1634: the galileo affair, 1634: the ram rebellion, 1634: the baltic war) are integrated into the action and political events behind the scenes, and this book ties a host of little oddities into a coherent canvas capturing a snapshot of the state of europe in early summer of 1634.concurrent with their pet projects, the formidable dreeson and simpson women are accompanied by a trade delegation with the strategic goal of restoring the iron production of the upper palatinate to feed the war needs of the use.a reviewer for the sfrevu wrote that this is not a 'stand alone novel' and that reading other books in the series first would 'make some of the inside jokes and intricate politics more clear.'the midwest book review said that the 'story line is fast-paced, but contains a more serious tone than its predecessors.'1634: the bavarian crisis was the third book in the 1632 series to be listed on the new york times best seller list for hardcover fiction.during october 2007, this book was able to be on the ny times list for one week while peaking at number 29.1634: the bavarian crisis was listed on the locus (magazine) hardcovers bestsellers list for one month in 2008 at number 8.
