On August 31, 1988, the flight, using a Boeing 727-200 series aircraft, crashed during takeoff, resulting in 14 deaths and 76 injuries of the 108 on board.
Delta Reticuli (Delta Ret, δ Reticuli, δ Ret) is a star in the southern constellation of Reticulum. It is visible to the naked eye , having an apparent visual magnitude of 4.60. [2] The distance to this star, as estimated from its annual parallax shift of 6.20 mas , [1] is roughly 530 light-years from the Sun .
Delta method. In statistics, the delta method is a method of deriving the asymptotic distribution of a random variable. It is applicable when the random variable being considered can be defined as a differentiable function of a random variable which is asymptotically Gaussian .
Delta IV was a group of five expendable launch systems in the Delta rocket family introduced in the early 2000s. Originally designed by Boeing 's Defense, Space and Security division for the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program, the Delta IV became a United Launch Alliance (ULA) product in 2006. The Delta IV was primarily a launch ...
Delta Force bodyguards in civilian clothing providing close protection to General Norman Schwarzkopf during the Gulf War, 1991. Delta Force was created in 1977 after numerous well-publicized terrorist incidents led the U.S. government to develop a full-time counter-terrorism unit. Key military and government figures had already been briefed on ...
Lava delta of Ponta dos Biscoitos, Sant Cruz das Ribeiras, Pico Island Lava deltas , similar to river deltas , form wherever sufficient sub-aerial flows of lava enter standing bodies of water. The lava cools and breaks up as it encounters the water, with the resulting fragments filling in the adjacent seabed topography such that the flow can ...
Δ−. (ddd), which respectively carry an electric charge of +2 e, +1 e, 0 e, and −1 e . The Δ baryons have a mass of about 1 232 MeV/c2; their third component of isospin and they are required to have an intrinsic spin of 3 2 or higher (half-integer units). Ordinary nucleons (symbol N, meaning either a proton or neutron ), by contrast, have ...
The Delta Cryogenic Second Stage ( DCSS) is a family of cryogenic rocket stages used on the Delta III and Delta IV rockets, and on the Space Launch System Block 1. The stage consists of a cylindrical liquid hydrogen (LH 2) tank structurally separated from an oblate spheroid liquid oxygen (LOX) tank. The LH 2 tank cylinder carries payload launch ...
