U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands

By Peter RejcekAssociate Editor

Last month, a Gone Fishin� signmight have hung on the door to thecontrol room at Tradex.

But it wasn�t mahi mahi that engi-neers were fishing for. Instead, theywere using the radar�s powerful eyesto search for needles in a cosmichaystack � space debris no largerthan a softball that poses a serioushazard to satellites, space shuttlesand the galaxy�s newest manmade

wonder, the International Space Sta-tion.

�Space debris is a growing concernof NASA and Space Command,� ex-plained Steve Six, Tradex test direc-tor for debris missions.

Six said there are about 9,000 ob-jects, 10 centimeters or bigger, thathave been cataloged. Unfortunately,there�s an estimated 100,000 smallerobjects that are not cataloged ortracked, he said. That�s a problembecause an object like the spaceshuttle or the space station is onlyarmored to withstand a hit by debris1 centimeter or smaller.

�The longer your exposure, thehigher the probability of a problem,�Six said.

How much damage can somethingthe size of a commander�s coin, oreven smaller, actually do? Six said a3-centimeter object, traveling at 10kilometers a second, packs the samepunch as 1 kilogram of TNT. That�senough dynamite to shoot aneconomy car a thousand feet straight

The Kwajalein Hourglass

The Hourglass is named for the insigniaof the U.S. Army 7th Infantry Division, whichliberated the island from the forces of Impe-rial Japan on Feb 4, 1944.

The Kwajalein Hourglass is an authorizedpublication for military personnel, federal em-ployees, contractor workers and their familiesassigned to USAKA/KMR. Contents of theHourglass are not necessarily official viewsof, or endorsed by, the U.S. Government, De-partment of Defense, Department of the Armyor USAKA/KMR. It is published Tuesdaysand Fridays using a network printer byRaytheon Range Systems Engineering edito-rial staff, P.O. Box 23, APO AP 96555.Phone: Autovon 254-3539; local 53539.Printed circulation: 2,300

The soldiers and cadre of the ArmyMedical Command at Fort Sam Hous-ton, Texas, sponsor a quarterly pro-gram for school children called LaSalida � �The Way Out.� It�s a week-end-long event designed to show kidsthey have options � that they cansay no to drugs, joining gangs, drop-ping out of school, having sex, etc.Teachers across the city chose the�at risk� children out of their class-rooms.

It was already dry and �oh m�gosh�hot when the buses arrived on aSaturday morning at Camp Bullis, atraining site about 30 miles outside

San Antonio. Soldiers were there towelcome the students, assign sleep-ing huts, and give them team names,mascot flags, T-shirts, enthusiasmand friendship.

I volunteered that November week-end before Thanksgiving to work inthe first-aid training station. I endedup as a hut-leader with nine littlegirls who had A LOT more streetsmarts than 11-year-olds should.They made me nuts. Every time theysaw a water faucet, shower, sink,anything with running water, theywanted to wash their hair. They lath-ered on eye make-up and lipstick likethey owned shares in the companies.And, keeping them in the hut duringthe night was � impossible. Let�sjust say they tested my tolerance ofsleep deprivation. Did I mention theymade me nuts?

The first afternoon, we planned totake the 300 kids out to the obstacle

course. This was an opportunity forall of us to conquer the challenge ofthe rappelling tower and the slide forlife. Apparently bouncing down a 60-foot tower on a rope, and sliding acrossa 50-foot-wide ravine on another ropeinstills self-confidence � hence, thecourage for the kids to �just say no.�(Personally, I wanted to say no be-cause I had not been that scaredsince turning 40.)

Anyway, all the kids had just fin-ished a big lunch in the camp messhall, and we were on our way to theobstacle course. Two little guys weresitting and talking near the tailgateof our luxurious Army deuce-and-a-half truck. I heard one of them qui-etly say to his friend, �I can�t wait �tiltomorrow morning.�

�Because we get to ride on the firetruck?�

�No, because we get to eat break-fast,� he said.

I think about this little guy everymorning � not just during CombinedFederal Campaigns or Thanksgivingweek. Something I take for grantedand often skip by choice would be aspecial treat to him. How do I evenbegin to help fix that kind of need?

Immunize, changehabits to preventHepatitis A infection

From Kwajalein HospitalA limited amount of the influenza

vaccine has arrived. Vaccinationswill be available to the general pub-lic starting Tuesday.

tem is weakened because of illnessor medications and anyone elseinterested in being vaccinated forinfluenza.

Come to the outpatient depart-ment at the hospital between 1:30and 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sat-urday and sign in for a nurse. Theshots will be given on a first-come,first-served basis.

Flu vaccinations to begin Tuesday

By KW HillisFeature Writer

Flu-like symptoms, decreased ap-petite and energy, abdominal painand diarrhea, along with jaundice oryellow skin or eyes, are the signs andsymptoms of Hepatitis or inflamma-tion of the liver.

Fortunately, Hepatitis A is prevent-able by changing personal habitsand by immunization, said Dr. EricLindborg, Kwajalein Hospital chiefmedical officer.

Unlike Hepatitis B and C, whichare transmitted from one person toanother by sexual or blood contact,Hepatitis A is generally transmittedby food, water and poor sanitary hab-its, according Lindborg.

�Living in the Kwajalein, USAKAcommunities does not increase risks,�Lindborg said. �But since Hepatitis Ais endemic in Micronesia and South-east Asia ... exposure risks are in-creased if your activities includetravel and socializing in Micronesiancommunities.�

There is no cure for Hepatitis Aonce a person is infected. But, ac-cording to Lindborg, many people getwell on their own after a few weeks.

�The best medicine is prevention,�Lindborg said, making the followingrecommendations.

�Wash hands before eating andafter using the bathroom, and weargloves if you have to touch anotherperson�s stool, such as if changingdiapers.

�Avoid food and water that has notbeen prepared and maintained un-der hygienic conditions. Use bottledwater when in doubt and don�t useice cubes. Consider the Hepatitis Avaccine if you travel or socialize inareas where Hepatitis is prevalent.

Hepatitis A vaccinations are givenin two doses at least six months apart.They are not recommended for chil-dren under two years of age. TheOutpatient Clinic provides free vac-cinations to USAKA residents andemployees from 1 to 4 p.m., Tuesdaysthrough Saturdays.


into the air.�There have been colli-

sions in space already,� Sixsaid, but added that noth-ing catastrophic has hap-pened � yet. That�s whereTradex and other radars,including Altair and GBR-P, come in.

Since 1989, Tradex hasparticipated in 18 debriscampaigns, nicknamed�Stare and Chase.� The ob-ject of the game is for theradar to spot an object andthen attempt to success-fully track it, so that it canbe cataloged.

�There�s a real art in go-ing from detecting to track-ing,� noted Tim McLaugh-lin, Tradex assistant testdirector for debris missions.

The difficulty is that theTradex beam, covering an area in the sky about the sizeof the moon, is pointed at one location in space waitingfor an object to pass. The space junk, traveling at 10kilometers per second, is barely glimpsed before it�salready out of sight. Based on just a blip of information,

the radar�s computer triesto definethe object�s trajec-tory. At the same time, thecomputer can determinewhether or not the objectwas previously cataloged.If not, the game is afoot.

�It�s like space fishing,�Six said. �These debris cam-paigns are fun.�

Tradex most recentlywent fishing Oct. 27-28,along with GBR-P, whichparticipated in Stare andChase for the first time.

�We�re really pleased tohave the opportunity to doit,� said Gail Sikes, GBR-Pgovernment representa-tive.

Results of the Octobercampaign are still pending.Last year, Tradex detected69 objects and tracked 38.With cooperation from Al-

tair, three objects were eventually added to the spacecatalog, Six said.

The space debris itself can be anything from an errantbolt to a flake of paint. Much of the debris results froma launch. Tradex engineers estimate there�s a space

launch at least once or twice a week,meaning there�s a lot of junk outthere that has to be avoided. Six saidNASA simply doesn�t have the re-sources, or the capabilities, right nowto ensure that a serious collisionwon�t take place.

�They don�t have the sensors to doit right now,� he added. �It�s not aproblem Tradex could solve alone.�

Denise Comeau, Tradex sensorleader, said the radar is capable ofsupporting a network of radars. Infact, Tradex is particularly good forthis type of space fishing because itcan move fast, thanks to its hydrau-lic-powered antenna drive. Those 220tons can move about 12½ degrees asecond.

�It�s the fastest antenna at KMR,�Comeau said.

It�s certainly the world�s biggestfishing pole � and soon Tradex engi-neers will know if they got any keep-ers, i.e., cataloged debris, from theirlatest campaign.

�We�ll get the cooler and get readyto throw them in,� McLaughlin said.

Space debris comes in all sizes and categories ...(From page 1)

Size doesn’t matter when you’re talking about objects hurtlingthrough space at 10 kilometers per second. From left, DeniseComeau, Tradex sensor leader, Steve Six, Tradex test directorfor space debris missions, and Tim McLaughlin, Tradex assis-tant test director for space debris missions, hold up objectsrepresentative of the types of space debris that could possiblyimpact a satellite, space shuttle or even the new space station.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth hundreds of miles overhead, whereit is exposed to space debris that could potentially impact the thin hull of the facility,according to Tradex engineers involved in locating and tracking the rogue objects forNASA.

Military Ball celebrates change and traditionBy Barbara JohnsonFeature Writer

There has never been an age likeours, according to Col. Curtis L. WrennJr., USAKA/KMR commander. Ourgreat accumulation of knowledge al-lows us to travel back in time to viewthe birth of the universe and now, wepeer into the hearts of stars, he said.

Wrenn, guest speaker at the an-nual Military Ball Sunday night atthe Yokwe Yuk Club, spoke aboutchange over the years, from clothingstyles to technology, and aboutchange in the Army and at the range.

This year�s event was also filledwith tradition. Lt. Col. David K.

Stoddard, USAKA/KMR deputy com-mander, gave the invocation; Wrennled the traditional toasts before din-ner; Sgt. 1st Class Maurice Robinsonoffered the benediction; and Maj. MattReed hosted the humorous Grog BowlCeremony, in which members of thecommand contributed various ingre-dients to a concoction, served thisyear out of a trash can.

The ball�s theme was �All That Jazz,�and the 130 guests were surroundedby musical notes all night, with cut-out notes decorating the walls, tables,top hat centerpieces and balloons inthe dining room and, after dinner, inthe lounge.
