Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center
[ "All Mercury–Redstone, Mercury-Atlas, the uncrewed Gemini 1 and Gemini 2, and crewed Gemini 3 missions were controlled by the Mission Control Center (called the Mercury Control Center through 1963) at Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex, Florida.", "This facility was in the Engineering Support Building at the east end of Mission Control Road, about 0.5 mile (0.8 km) east of Phillips Parkway.", "Mercury and Gemini launches were conducted from separate blockhouses at the Cape.", "The building, which was on the National Register of Historic Places, was demolished in May 2010 due to concerns about asbestos and the estimated $5 million cost of repairs after 40 years of exposure to salt air.", "Formerly a stop on the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex tours, in the late 1990s, the control room consoles were removed, refurbished, and relocated to a re-creation of the room in the Debus Center at the KSC Visitor Complex.", "Located in Building 30 at the Johnson Space Center (known as the Manned Spacecraft Center until 1973), the Houston MCC was first used in June 1965 for Gemini 4.", "It housed two primary rooms known as Mission Operation Control Rooms (MOCR, pronounced \"moh-ker\").", "These two rooms controlled all Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Space Shuttle flights up to 1998.", "Each consisted of a four-tier auditorium, dominated by a large map screen, which, with the exception of Apollo lunar flights, had a Mercator projection of the Earth, with locations of tracking stations, and a three-orbit \"sine wave\" track of the spacecraft in flight.", "Each MOCR tier was specialized, staffed by various controllers responsible for a specific spacecraft system.", "MOCR 1, housed on the second floor of Building 30, was used for Apollo 5, Apollo 7, the Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (Saturn IB) missions.", "MOCR 2 was used for all other Gemini and Apollo (Saturn V) flights (except Gemini 3) and was located on the third floor.", "As the flight control room for Apollo 11, the first crewed Moon landing, MOCR 2 was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.", "It was last used in 1992 as the flight control room for STS-53 and was subsequently converted back almost entirely to its Apollo-era configuration and preserved for historical purposes.", "Together with several support wings, it is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the \"Apollo Mission Control Center\".", "In January 2018, the first set of consoles in MOCR 2 were removed and sent to the Kansas Cosmosphere for archival cleaning, refurbishment, and restoration to Apollo-era configuration, for eventual display back in the control room.", "On July 1, 2019, the newly restored Apollo-era Mission Control was reopened to the public, after a two-year long effort to restore the room to its configuration as seen during the Apollo Moon landings.", "Period-appropriate accents were acquired, from cigarette packs and ashtrays to wallpaper and carpeting.", "The room is accessible via the tram tour at the nearby Space Center Houston visitors' center, but only from behind the glass in the restored Visitor's Gallery viewing room.", "In July 2010, air to ground voice recordings and film footage shot in Mission Control during the Apollo 11 powered descent and landing was re-synchronized and released for the first time.", "This audio was used in creating an audio-visual presentation for the 2019 Mission Control update.", "When the Space Shuttle program began, the MOCRs were re-designated flight control rooms (FCR, pronounced \"ficker\"); and FCR 1 (formerly MOCR 1) became the first shuttle control room.", "FCR 2 was used mostly for classified Department of Defense shuttle flights, then was remodeled to its Apollo-era configuration.", "From the moment a Space Shuttle cleared its launch tower in Florida until it landed on Earth, it was in the hands of Mission Control.", "When a shuttle mission was underway, its control room was staffed around the clock, usually in three shifts.", "In 1992, JSC began building an extension to Building 30.", "The new five-story section (30 South) went operational in 1998 and houses two flight control rooms, designated \"White\", and \"Blue\".", "The White FCR was used in tandem with FCR 2 for seven Space Shuttle missions, STS-70 through STS-76, and handled all following shuttle flights through the end of the program.", "When not in use for the shuttle program, the White FCR was reconfigured as a backup for the ISS FCR from time to time as needed (such as during periods of construction or upgrades in the ISS FCR).", "The newer section of Building 30 also houses the International Space Station Flight Control Room.", "The first ISS control room, originally named the Special Vehicles Operations Room (SVO), then the Blue FCR, was operational around the clock to support the ISS until the fall of 2006.", "FCR 1, meanwhile, had its original consoles and tiered decking removed after STS-71, and was first converted to a \"Life Sciences Center\" for ISS payload control operations.", "After substantial remodelling, mainly with new technologies not available in 1998, ISS flight control moved into the totally revamped FCR 1 in October 2006, due to the growth of the ISS and the international cooperation required among national control centers around the world.", "Other MCC facilities include the Training Flight Control Room, sometimes referred to as the Red FCR, a training area for flight controllers; a Life Sciences Control Room used to oversee various experiments; the Simulation Control Area (SCA), primarily used during shuttle astronaut and flight control training; and an Exploration Planning Operations Center, used to test new concepts for operations beyond low-Earth orbit.", "Additionally, there are multi-purpose support rooms (MPSRs) which are staffed by backup flight controllers, who analyze data and run simulations as well as provide information and advice for the flight controllers.", "Building 30 was named for Kraft on April 14, 2011.", "From 2012 to 2014, the rooms used during the Shuttle program underwent upgrades in preparation for future human space flight activities.", "The ISS FCR 1, the White FCR, the Blue FCR, the SCA, and the MPSRs all had their consoles removed and replaced with modern hardware, in part to support the new operational concept of commercial companies having a presence in Mission Control.", "This project is known as Mission Control Center for the 21st Century, or MCC-21.", "The White FCR was officially completed and unveiled in April 2014.", "The modernized White FCR is used for flight controller training and occasionally for nominal ISS operations when FCR 1 is temporarily removed from service for repairs or upgrades.", "In 2019, the first of the Commercial Crew vehicles to be controlled from Houston was launched: the Boeing CST-100 Starliner.", "The SpaceX Dragon 2 demo flight launched earlier in the year, but SpaceX Mission Control is at their headquarters in Hawthorne, CA.", "The Boeing Starliner missions use a number of control centers across the United States, several in Houston in the Mission Control building:", "During the early years at Cape Canaveral, the original MCC consisted only of three rows, as the Mercury capsule was simple in design and construction, with missions lasting no more than 35 hours.", "The first row consisted of several controllers, the Booster Systems Engineer (BOOSTER), Flight Surgeon (SURGEON), capsule communicator (CAPCOM), Retrofire Officer (RETRO), Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO), and Guidance Officer (GUIDO).", "The BOOSTER controller, depending upon the type of rocket being used, was either an engineer from the Marshall Space Flight Center (for Mercury-Redstone flights) or an Air Force engineer (for Mercury-Atlas and later Gemini-Titan flights) assigned for that mission.", "The BOOSTER controller's job would last no more than six hours total", "and he would vacate his console after the booster was jettisoned.", "The SURGEON controller, consisting of a flight surgeon (either a military or civilian physician), monitored the astronaut's vital signs during the flight, and if a medical need arose, could recommend treatment.", "They could also talk directly to the astronaut crew if there was a medical need that the astronauts needed to discuss.", "The CAPCOM controller, filled by an astronaut, maintained nominal air-to-ground communications between the MCC and the orbiting spacecraft; the exception being the SURGEON or Flight Director, and only in an emergency.", "The RETRO, FIDO, and GUIDO controllers monitored spacecraft trajectory and handled course changes.", "The second row also consisted of several controllers, the ENVIRONMENTAL, PROCEDURES, FLIGHT, SYSTEMS, and NETWORK.", "The ENVIRONMENTAL controller, later called EECOM, oversaw the consumption of spacecraft oxygen and monitored pressurization, while the SYSTEMS controller, later called EGIL, monitored all other spacecraft systems, including electrical consumption.", "The PROCEDURES controller, first held by Gene Kranz, handled the writing of all mission milestones, \"GO/NO GO\" decisions, and synchronized the MCC with the launch countdowns and the Eastern Test Range.", "The PROCEDURES controller also handled communications, via teletype, between the MCC and the worldwide network of tracking stations and ships.", "The flight director, known as FLIGHT, was ultimate supervisor of the Mission Control Center, and gave the final orbit entrance/exit, and, in emergencies, mission abort decisions.", "During Mercury missions, this position was held by Christopher Kraft, with John Hodge, an Englishman who came to NASA after the cancellation of the Canadian Avro Arrow project, joining the flight director ranks for the 22-orbit Mercury 9, requiring Kraft to divide Mission Control into two shifts.", "The flight director's console was also the only position in the Cape MCC to have a television monitor, allowing him to see the rocket lift off from the pad.", "The NETWORK controller, an Air Force officer, served as the \"switchboard\" between the MCC, the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland (as on-site real-time computing did not exist), and the worldwide tracking station and ship network.", "The back row, consisting primarily of NASA and Department of Defense (DOD) management, was the location of the operations director (held by Walt Williams), a general or flag officer who could coordinate with the DOD on all search-and-rescue missions, and the PAO (\"Shorty\" Powers during Mercury), who provided minute-by-minute mission commentary for the news media and public.", "In addition to the controllers in the Cape MCC, each of the crewed tracking stations and the \"Rose Knot Victor\" and \"Coastal Sentry Quebec\" tracking ships, had three controllers, a CAPCOM, SURGEON, and an engineer.", "Unlike the Cape CAPCOM, which was always staffed by an astronaut, the tracking station/tracking ship CAPCOMs were either a NASA engineer, or an astronaut, with the latter located at stations deemed \"critical\" by the flight director and operations director.", "After the move from the Cape MCC to the Houston MCC in 1965, the new MOCRs, which were larger and more sophisticated than the single Cape MCC, consisted of four rows, with the first row, later known as \"the Trench\" (a term coined by Apollo-era RETRO controller John Llewellyn, which, according to Flight Director Eugene Kranz, reminded him of the firing range during his years as a USAF officer).", "It was occupied by the BOOSTER, RETRO, FIDO, and GUIDO controllers.", "During Gemini, the BOOSTER position was handled by both an engineer from Martin Marietta and an astronaut, while all missions from Apollo 7 used engineers from the Marshall Space Flight Center.", "The second row, after Project Gemini, consisted of the SURGEON, EECOM, and CAPCOM.", "The EECOM, which replaced the ENVIRONMENTAL controller and some of the SYSTEMS controller's functions, monitored the spacecraft's electrical and environmental systems.", "Like the CAPCOMs during Mercury, all CAPCOMs in the Houston MCC were astronauts.", "On the other side of the aisle of the second row were controllers who monitored specific parts of Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, ASTP and Space Shuttle missions.", "During the Gemini program, the two Agena controllers monitored the Agena upper stage used as a docking target from Gemini 8 through Gemini 12.", "For the Apollo lunar flights, the TELMU and CONTROL controllers monitored the Lunar Module.", "During Skylab, the EGIL (pronounced \"eagle\") monitored Skylab's solar panels, while the EXPERIMENTS controller monitored experiments and the telescopes in the Apollo Telescope Mount.", "The PAYLOAD and EXPERIMENTS controllers monitored Space Shuttle operations.", "Another controller, the INCO, monitored the spacecraft's communications and instrumentation.", "The third row consisted of the PAO, PROCEDURES, and the FAO (flight activities officer), who coordinated with the flight schedule.", "The AFD (assistant flight director) and the flight director were also located on the third row.", "The fourth row, like the old Cape MCC's third row, was reserved for NASA management, including the director of the Johnson Space Center, the director of flight operations, the director of flight crew operations (chief astronaut), and the Department of Defense officer.", "The Blue FCR, used primarily for ISS operations from 1998 to 2006, was arranged in five rows of three consoles, plus one in the rear right corner.", "From left to right, as viewed from the rear of the room:", "The White FCR, which was used for Space Shuttle operations, was arranged in five rows.", "From left to right, as viewed from the rear of the room):\nThe front row (the \"trench\") had FDO (pronounced \"fido\"), responsible for orbital guidance and orbital changes, depending on the phase of flight; either Guidance, a specialist in the procedures of those two high-energy, fast-paced phases of flight or rendezvous, a specialist in orbital rendezvous procedures; and GC, the controller responsible for the computers and systems in MCC itself.", "The second row had PROP, responsible for the propulsion system; GNC, responsible for systems that determine the spacecraft's attitude and issue commands to control it; MMACS (pronounced \"max\"), responsible for the mechanical systems on the space craft, such as the payload bay doors and landing gear; and EGIL (pronounced \"eagle\"), responsible for the fuel cells, electrical distribution and O2 & H2 supplies.", "The third row had DPS, responsible for the computer systems; ACO or Payloads, responsible for all payload-related activities (depending on whether the shuttle flight supported an ISS assembly flight or not; FAO, responsible for the overall plans of activities for the entire flight; and EECOM responsible for the management of environmental systems.", "The fourth row had INCO, responsible for communications systems for uploading all systems commands to the vehicle; FLIGHT—the Flight Director, the person in charge of the flight; CAPCOM, an astronaut who is normally the only controller to talk to the astronauts on board; and PDRS, responsible for robot arm operations.", "The back row had PAO (Public Affairs Officer), the \"voice\" of MCC; MOD, a management representative, depending on the phase of flight; either RIO for MIR flights, a Russian-speaker who spoke with the Russian MCC, known as Цуп, (Tsup);", "BOOSTER responsible for the SRBs and the SSMEs during ascent, or EVA responsible for space suit systems and EVA tasks; and finally, SURGEON.", "All US International Space Station operations are currently controlled from FCR 1, remodeled in 2006.", "This FCR abandoned the traditional tiered floor layout, with all rows instead at the same level.", "A few engineering specialists are in the center of the front row, with the public affairs commentator at the right end behind a low partition.", "The space station trajectory position was moved to the third row.", "During early ISS operations, a scheme known as Gemini was used, which reduced staffing for real-time ISS support by consolidating six system disciplines into two positions.", "From these two \"super-consoles\", named Atlas and Titan, two people can do the work of up to eight other flight controllers during low-activity periods.", "One position, call sign TITAN (Telemetry, Information Transfer, and Attitude Navigation), was responsible for Communication & Tracking (CATO), Command & Data Handling (ODIN), and Motion Control Systems (ADCO).", "The other position, call sign ATLAS (Atmosphere, Thermal, Lighting and Articulation Specialist), was responsible for Thermal Control (THOR), Environmental Control & Life Support (ECLSS), and Electrical Power Systems (PHALCON).", "ATLAS was also responsible for monitoring Robotics (ROBO) and Mechanical Systems (OSO) heaters, as those consoles were not supported during the majority of Gemini shifts.", "While Gemini officially reflected the fact that two controllers act as \"twins\" during operations, the name was also an homage to the first missions (Project Gemini) controlled from that room.", "In addition, Titan was the type of booster rocket which launched the Gemini spacecraft and Atlas boosters launched Gemini-era Agena target vehicles (and several missions in Project Mercury).", "In 2010 after ISS assembly complete, the Gemini concept was removed and the six core disciplines were reduced to four.", "Those console positions are ETHOS (Environmental and Thermal Operating Systems) which consists of the ECLSS system as well as the internal thermal control system formerly held by THOR; SPARTAN (Station Power, ARticulation, Thermal, and ANalysis) which consists of the electrical power and external thermal control systems; CRONUS (Communications RF Onboard Networks Utilization Specialist), a combination of the previous ODIN and CATO positions; and ADCO (Motion Control Systems).", "In the event that the MCC-H is unavailable due to a hurricane or other foreseeable event, NASA has the option of quickly relocating to a temporary Backup Control Center (BCC) offsite.", "In 2017 for Hurricane Harvey, BCC was a hotel in Round Rock, Texas, about 4 hours away, while in 2020 for Hurricane Laura the BCC was at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, the designated backup site since 2017.", "For more long-term use, NASA will relocate to a more robust but farther control center at the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) at Marshall Space Flight Center for ISS operations.", "In 2008 for Hurricane Ike, NASA activated Backup Control Centers in both Round Rock and Huntsville for specific duties.", "Note that uncrewed US civilian satellites are controlled from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, while California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages robotic US space probes." ]

Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center
[ "All Mercury–Redstone, Mercury-Atlas, the uncrewed Gemini 1 and Gemini 2, and crewed Gemini 3 missions were controlled by the Mission Control Center (called the Mercury Control Center through 1963) at Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex, Florida.", "This facility was in the Engineering Support Building at the east end of Mission Control Road, about 0.5 mile (0.8 km) east of Phillips Parkway.", "Mercury and Gemini launches were conducted from separate blockhouses at the Cape.", "The building, which was on the National Register of Historic Places, was demolished in May 2010 due to concerns about asbestos and the estimated $5 million cost of repairs after 40 years of exposure to salt air.", "Formerly a stop on the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex tours, in the late 1990s, the control room consoles were removed, refurbished, and relocated to a re-creation of the room in the Debus Center at the KSC Visitor Complex.", "Located in Building 30 at the Johnson Space Center (known as the Manned Spacecraft Center until 1973), the Houston MCC was first used in June 1965 for Gemini 4.", "It housed two primary rooms known as Mission Operation Control Rooms (MOCR, pronounced \"moh-ker\").", "These two rooms controlled all Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Space Shuttle flights up to 1998.", "Each consisted of a four-tier auditorium, dominated by a large map screen, which, with the exception of Apollo lunar flights, had a Mercator projection of the Earth, with locations of tracking stations, and a three-orbit \"sine wave\" track of the spacecraft in flight.", "Each MOCR tier was specialized, staffed by various controllers responsible for a specific spacecraft system.", "MOCR 1, housed on the second floor of Building 30, was used for Apollo 5, Apollo 7, the Skylab and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (Saturn IB) missions.", "MOCR 2 was used for all other Gemini and Apollo (Saturn V) flights (except Gemini 3) and was located on the third floor.", "As the flight control room for Apollo 11, the first crewed Moon landing, MOCR 2 was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.", "It was last used in 1992 as the flight control room for STS-53 and was subsequently converted back almost entirely to its Apollo-era configuration and preserved for historical purposes.", "Together with several support wings, it is now listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the \"Apollo Mission Control Center\".", "In January 2018, the first set of consoles in MOCR 2 were removed and sent to the Kansas Cosmosphere for archival cleaning, refurbishment, and restoration to Apollo-era configuration, for eventual display back in the control room.", "On July 1, 2019, the newly restored Apollo-era Mission Control was reopened to the public, after a two-year long effort to restore the room to its configuration as seen during the Apollo Moon landings.", "Period-appropriate accents were acquired, from cigarette packs and ashtrays to wallpaper and carpeting.", "The room is accessible via the tram tour at the nearby Space Center Houston visitors' center, but only from behind the glass in the restored Visitor's Gallery viewing room.", "In July 2010, air to ground voice recordings and film footage shot in Mission Control during the Apollo 11 powered descent and landing was re-synchronized and released for the first time.", "This audio was used in creating an audio-visual presentation for the 2019 Mission Control update.", "When the Space Shuttle program began, the MOCRs were re-designated flight control rooms (FCR, pronounced \"ficker\"); and FCR 1 (formerly MOCR 1) became the first shuttle control room.", "FCR 2 was used mostly for classified Department of Defense shuttle flights, then was remodeled to its Apollo-era configuration.", "From the moment a Space Shuttle cleared its launch tower in Florida until it landed on Earth, it was in the hands of Mission Control.", "When a shuttle mission was underway, its control room was staffed around the clock, usually in three shifts.", "In 1992, JSC began building an extension to Building 30.", "The new five-story section (30 South) went operational in 1998 and houses two flight control rooms, designated \"White\", and \"Blue\".", "The White FCR was used in tandem with FCR 2 for seven Space Shuttle missions, STS-70 through STS-76, and handled all following shuttle flights through the end of the program.", "When not in use for the shuttle program, the White FCR was reconfigured as a backup for the ISS FCR from time to time as needed (such as during periods of construction or upgrades in the ISS FCR).", "The newer section of Building 30 also houses the International Space Station Flight Control Room.", "The first ISS control room, originally named the Special Vehicles Operations Room (SVO), then the Blue FCR, was operational around the clock to support the ISS until the fall of 2006.", "FCR 1, meanwhile, had its original consoles and tiered decking removed after STS-71, and was first converted to a \"Life Sciences Center\" for ISS payload control operations.", "After substantial remodelling, mainly with new technologies not available in 1998, ISS flight control moved into the totally revamped FCR 1 in October 2006, due to the growth of the ISS and the international cooperation required among national control centers around the world.", "Other MCC facilities include the Training Flight Control Room, sometimes referred to as the Red FCR, a training area for flight controllers; a Life Sciences Control Room used to oversee various experiments; the Simulation Control Area (SCA), primarily used during shuttle astronaut and flight control training; and an Exploration Planning Operations Center, used to test new concepts for operations beyond low-Earth orbit.", "Additionally, there are multi-purpose support rooms (MPSRs) which are staffed by backup flight controllers, who analyze data and run simulations as well as provide information and advice for the flight controllers.", "Building 30 was named for Kraft on April 14, 2011.", "From 2012 to 2014, the rooms used during the Shuttle program underwent upgrades in preparation for future human space flight activities.", "The ISS FCR 1, the White FCR, the Blue FCR, the SCA, and the MPSRs all had their consoles removed and replaced with modern hardware, in part to support the new operational concept of commercial companies having a presence in Mission Control.", "This project is known as Mission Control Center for the 21st Century, or MCC-21.", "The White FCR was officially completed and unveiled in April 2014.", "The modernized White FCR is used for flight controller training and occasionally for nominal ISS operations when FCR 1 is temporarily removed from service for repairs or upgrades.", "In 2019, the first of the Commercial Crew vehicles to be controlled from Houston was launched: the Boeing CST-100 Starliner.", "The SpaceX Dragon 2 demo flight launched earlier in the year, but SpaceX Mission Control is at their headquarters in Hawthorne, CA.", "The Boeing Starliner missions use a number of control centers across the United States, several in Houston in the Mission Control building:", "During the early years at Cape Canaveral, the original MCC consisted only of three rows, as the Mercury capsule was simple in design and construction, with missions lasting no more than 35 hours.", "The first row consisted of several controllers, the Booster Systems Engineer (BOOSTER), Flight Surgeon (SURGEON), capsule communicator (CAPCOM), Retrofire Officer (RETRO), Flight Dynamics Officer (FIDO), and Guidance Officer (GUIDO).", "The BOOSTER controller, depending upon the type of rocket being used, was either an engineer from the Marshall Space Flight Center (for Mercury-Redstone flights) or an Air Force engineer (for Mercury-Atlas and later Gemini-Titan flights) assigned for that mission.", "The BOOSTER controller's job would last no more than six hours total", "and he would vacate his console after the booster was jettisoned.", "The SURGEON controller, consisting of a flight surgeon (either a military or civilian physician), monitored the astronaut's vital signs during the flight, and if a medical need arose, could recommend treatment.", "They could also talk directly to the astronaut crew if there was a medical need that the astronauts needed to discuss.", "The CAPCOM controller, filled by an astronaut, maintained nominal air-to-ground communications between the MCC and the orbiting spacecraft; the exception being the SURGEON or Flight Director, and only in an emergency.", "The RETRO, FIDO, and GUIDO controllers monitored spacecraft trajectory and handled course changes.", "The second row also consisted of several controllers, the ENVIRONMENTAL, PROCEDURES, FLIGHT, SYSTEMS, and NETWORK.", "The ENVIRONMENTAL controller, later called EECOM, oversaw the consumption of spacecraft oxygen and monitored pressurization, while the SYSTEMS controller, later called EGIL, monitored all other spacecraft systems, including electrical consumption.", "The PROCEDURES controller, first held by Gene Kranz, handled the writing of all mission milestones, \"GO/NO GO\" decisions, and synchronized the MCC with the launch countdowns and the Eastern Test Range.", "The PROCEDURES controller also handled communications, via teletype, between the MCC and the worldwide network of tracking stations and ships.", "The flight director, known as FLIGHT, was ultimate supervisor of the Mission Control Center, and gave the final orbit entrance/exit, and, in emergencies, mission abort decisions.", "During Mercury missions, this position was held by Christopher Kraft, with John Hodge, an Englishman who came to NASA after the cancellation of the Canadian Avro Arrow project, joining the flight director ranks for the 22-orbit Mercury 9, requiring Kraft to divide Mission Control into two shifts.", "The flight director's console was also the only position in the Cape MCC to have a television monitor, allowing him to see the rocket lift off from the pad.", "The NETWORK controller, an Air Force officer, served as the \"switchboard\" between the MCC, the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland (as on-site real-time computing did not exist), and the worldwide tracking station and ship network.", "The back row, consisting primarily of NASA and Department of Defense (DOD) management, was the location of the operations director (held by Walt Williams), a general or flag officer who could coordinate with the DOD on all search-and-rescue missions, and the PAO (\"Shorty\" Powers during Mercury), who provided minute-by-minute mission commentary for the news media and public.", "In addition to the controllers in the Cape MCC, each of the crewed tracking stations and the \"Rose Knot Victor\" and \"Coastal Sentry Quebec\" tracking ships, had three controllers, a CAPCOM, SURGEON, and an engineer.", "Unlike the Cape CAPCOM, which was always staffed by an astronaut, the tracking station/tracking ship CAPCOMs were either a NASA engineer, or an astronaut, with the latter located at stations deemed \"critical\" by the flight director and operations director.", "After the move from the Cape MCC to the Houston MCC in 1965, the new MOCRs, which were larger and more sophisticated than the single Cape MCC, consisted of four rows, with the first row, later known as \"the Trench\" (a term coined by Apollo-era RETRO controller John Llewellyn, which, according to Flight Director Eugene Kranz, reminded him of the firing range during his years as a USAF officer).", "It was occupied by the BOOSTER, RETRO, FIDO, and GUIDO controllers.", "During Gemini, the BOOSTER position was handled by both an engineer from Martin Marietta and an astronaut, while all missions from Apollo 7 used engineers from the Marshall Space Flight Center.", "The second row, after Project Gemini, consisted of the SURGEON, EECOM, and CAPCOM.", "The EECOM, which replaced the ENVIRONMENTAL controller and some of the SYSTEMS controller's functions, monitored the spacecraft's electrical and environmental systems.", "Like the CAPCOMs during Mercury, all CAPCOMs in the Houston MCC were astronauts.", "On the other side of the aisle of the second row were controllers who monitored specific parts of Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, ASTP and Space Shuttle missions.", "During the Gemini program, the two Agena controllers monitored the Agena upper stage used as a docking target from Gemini 8 through Gemini 12.", "For the Apollo lunar flights, the TELMU and CONTROL controllers monitored the Lunar Module.", "During Skylab, the EGIL (pronounced \"eagle\") monitored Skylab's solar panels, while the EXPERIMENTS controller monitored experiments and the telescopes in the Apollo Telescope Mount.", "The PAYLOAD and EXPERIMENTS controllers monitored Space Shuttle operations.", "Another controller, the INCO, monitored the spacecraft's communications and instrumentation.", "The third row consisted of the PAO, PROCEDURES, and the FAO (flight activities officer), who coordinated with the flight schedule.", "The AFD (assistant flight director) and the flight director were also located on the third row.", "The fourth row, like the old Cape MCC's third row, was reserved for NASA management, including the director of the Johnson Space Center, the director of flight operations, the director of flight crew operations (chief astronaut), and the Department of Defense officer.", "The Blue FCR, used primarily for ISS operations from 1998 to 2006, was arranged in five rows of three consoles, plus one in the rear right corner.", "From left to right, as viewed from the rear of the room:", "The White FCR, which was used for Space Shuttle operations, was arranged in five rows.", "From left to right, as viewed from the rear of the room):\nThe front row (the \"trench\") had FDO (pronounced \"fido\"), responsible for orbital guidance and orbital changes, depending on the phase of flight; either Guidance, a specialist in the procedures of those two high-energy, fast-paced phases of flight or rendezvous, a specialist in orbital rendezvous procedures; and GC, the controller responsible for the computers and systems in MCC itself.", "The second row had PROP, responsible for the propulsion system; GNC, responsible for systems that determine the spacecraft's attitude and issue commands to control it; MMACS (pronounced \"max\"), responsible for the mechanical systems on the space craft, such as the payload bay doors and landing gear; and EGIL (pronounced \"eagle\"), responsible for the fuel cells, electrical distribution and O2 & H2 supplies.", "The third row had DPS, responsible for the computer systems; ACO or Payloads, responsible for all payload-related activities (depending on whether the shuttle flight supported an ISS assembly flight or not; FAO, responsible for the overall plans of activities for the entire flight; and EECOM responsible for the management of environmental systems.", "The fourth row had INCO, responsible for communications systems for uploading all systems commands to the vehicle; FLIGHT—the Flight Director, the person in charge of the flight; CAPCOM, an astronaut who is normally the only controller to talk to the astronauts on board; and PDRS, responsible for robot arm operations.", "The back row had PAO (Public Affairs Officer), the \"voice\" of MCC; MOD, a management representative, depending on the phase of flight; either RIO for MIR flights, a Russian-speaker who spoke with the Russian MCC, known as Цуп, (Tsup);", "BOOSTER responsible for the SRBs and the SSMEs during ascent, or EVA responsible for space suit systems and EVA tasks; and finally, SURGEON.", "All US International Space Station operations are currently controlled from FCR 1, remodeled in 2006.", "This FCR abandoned the traditional tiered floor layout, with all rows instead at the same level.", "A few engineering specialists are in the center of the front row, with the public affairs commentator at the right end behind a low partition.", "The space station trajectory position was moved to the third row.", "During early ISS operations, a scheme known as Gemini was used, which reduced staffing for real-time ISS support by consolidating six system disciplines into two positions.", "From these two \"super-consoles\", named Atlas and Titan, two people can do the work of up to eight other flight controllers during low-activity periods.", "One position, call sign TITAN (Telemetry, Information Transfer, and Attitude Navigation), was responsible for Communication & Tracking (CATO), Command & Data Handling (ODIN), and Motion Control Systems (ADCO).", "The other position, call sign ATLAS (Atmosphere, Thermal, Lighting and Articulation Specialist), was responsible for Thermal Control (THOR), Environmental Control & Life Support (ECLSS), and Electrical Power Systems (PHALCON).", "ATLAS was also responsible for monitoring Robotics (ROBO) and Mechanical Systems (OSO) heaters, as those consoles were not supported during the majority of Gemini shifts.", "While Gemini officially reflected the fact that two controllers act as \"twins\" during operations, the name was also an homage to the first missions (Project Gemini) controlled from that room.", "In addition, Titan was the type of booster rocket which launched the Gemini spacecraft and Atlas boosters launched Gemini-era Agena target vehicles (and several missions in Project Mercury).", "In 2010 after ISS assembly complete, the Gemini concept was removed and the six core disciplines were reduced to four.", "Those console positions are ETHOS (Environmental and Thermal Operating Systems) which consists of the ECLSS system as well as the internal thermal control system formerly held by THOR; SPARTAN (Station Power, ARticulation, Thermal, and ANalysis) which consists of the electrical power and external thermal control systems; CRONUS (Communications RF Onboard Networks Utilization Specialist), a combination of the previous ODIN and CATO positions; and ADCO (Motion Control Systems).", "In the event that the MCC-H is unavailable due to a hurricane or other foreseeable event, NASA has the option of quickly relocating to a temporary Backup Control Center (BCC) offsite.", "In 2017 for Hurricane Harvey, BCC was a hotel in Round Rock, Texas, about 4 hours away, while in 2020 for Hurricane Laura the BCC was at the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, the designated backup site since 2017.", "For more long-term use, NASA will relocate to a more robust but farther control center at the Huntsville Operations Support Center (HOSC) at Marshall Space Flight Center for ISS operations.", "In 2008 for Hurricane Ike, NASA activated Backup Control Centers in both Round Rock and Huntsville for specific duties.", "Note that uncrewed US civilian satellites are controlled from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, while California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages robotic US space probes." ]

schooling preparatory to entering university.", "His major was economics.", "He volunteered for seagoing service and became a sea cadet on the cruiser on 1 April 1913.", "In 1914, promotion to \"Fähnrich zur See\" and transfer to the battleship followed.", "He received the Iron Cross First Class in August, 1915 as an officer candidate, for his excellence as an artillery spotter.", "However, Sachsenberg} was fascinated by aircraft and in December 1915 transferred to the air service.", "He was posted to \"Marine Feldflieger Abteilung II\" as a \"Fähnrich zur See\" observer.", "He was promoted to \"Leutnant\" in early 1916.", "He then served as an instructor for observers.", "He underwent pilot training at Johannisthal, qualifying as a pilot.", "He then returned to MFA II to fly a Fokker Eindecker.", "On 1 February 1917, Sachsenberg succeeded \"Oberleutnant\" von Santen as commanding officer of \"Marine Feld Jasta I\".", "MFJ II was organized somewhat later, and the two were combined into a larger unit, \"Marine Jagdgruppe Flandern\".", "\"Leutnant zur See\" Sachsenberg was appointed its commanding officer.", "His friend and rival ace Theo Osterkamp became commander of MGJ II.", "MFJ III was later raised and added to the larger unit.", "Still later, two more MFJs were raised and added to the parent unit, bringing its strength up to about 50 fighter planes, comparable to an army \"Jagdgeschwader\".", "Stationed on North Sea coastal airfields, the MFJ units often fought against Royal Naval Air Service aircraft who were stationed in similar circumstances.", "Sachsenberg opened his score as a fighter pilot, downing a Farman and a Sopwith 1½ Strutter on 1 May 1917.", "He scored again on the 12th, claiming a Sopwith Pup into the sea, and then notching a double victory on 7 June to make him an ace.", "On 20 August, Sachsenberg was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern.", "By the end of 1917, his victory roll stood at eight.", "He claimed his ninth victory on 17 March 1918, and continued to score steadily until 29 October 1918, when he downed his 31st confirmed.", "Midway through this run, Sachsenberg was awarded Prussia's and Germany's highest decoration, the \"Pour le Mérite\", on 5 August 1918.", "The MJF switched from the Albatros to Fokker D.VIIs in June 1918.", "They were as colorfully and distinctively marked as Manfred von Richthofen's \"Flying Circus\" (\"Jagdgeschwader\" I), with the basic color scheme being yellow and black, as a yellow and black checkerboard had been Sachsenberg's personal motif, and it was spread to the entire unit, with minor variations marking the different pilots.", "Sachsenberg formed \"Kampfgeschwader Sachsenberg\" in January 1919, consisting of 700 personnel.", "Several of them were fellow World War I aces, such as Theo Osterkamp, Josef Jacobs, and Alexander Zenzes.", "Based at Riga, Latvia, it gave aerial support to the \"Freikorps\", fighting Russian communist forces on the Baltic borders of Germany.", "It was successful in establishing air superiority over its opponent, and mainly flew ground support missions on behalf of the Freikorps.", "He then joined with Professor Hugo Junkers, whose aircraft he had used in the Baltic, to found Aero Lloyd Airlines.", "Another business interest of Sachsenberg's was his brother's shipyard, building river craft and small coastal ships.", "Sachsenberg became interested in politics and was elected to the German Parliament.", "He represented Liegnitz from July 1932 onwards.", "His taking a pacifist stance, not to mention his Jewish family members, made him anathema to the Nazis.", "He wrote and published articles decrying Germany's military buildup toward war, and especially its establishment of the Luftwaffe.", "He predicted it would bring war home to German families and German soil.", "In retribution for his voiced 'defeatism', the Nazis held a secret trial in absentia.", "Sentenced to death despite being a Member of Parliament, he was allowed to escape on his way to the firing squad and wasn't rearrested.", "Sachsenberg escaped the consequences of the conviction because his family shipyard was producing military ships.", "In the mid-1930s, Sachsenberg allied himself with hydrofoil ship pioneer Hanns von Schertel.", "Hydrofoil ship speeds of more than 30 knots, faster than any warships then on water, attracted attention from the German Ministry of Transportation and Finance, the German Navy, and German Air Force.", "Commercial exploitation of the hydrofoil was cut short by World War II.", "Several military hydrofoils of differing sizes, with speeds up to 60 knots, were acquired during World War II.", "However, they were only prototypes, and most fell prey to war damage of some sort.", "The end of World War II brought the Russian occupation of Dessau, and their acquisition of the shipyard.", "Sachsenberg and Shertel set up a new hydrofoil operation named Supramar in Switzerland.", "In 1953, they finally saw the first commercial hydrofoil in operation between Ascona, Switzerland, and Arona, Italy, on Lake Maggiore.", "The hydrofoil concept gradually spread

Halfway House (album)
[ "Upon its release, \"Halfway House\" was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics.", "AllHipHop's Greg Watkins gave the album a seven out of ten, saying, \"While \"Halfway House\" takes a slight dip from the high standards set forth by the Mood [Muzik] series, it is still a respectable effort.", "Joe Budden proves that he is still one of the game’s[sic] best kept secrets regardless of a release date.\"", "Nathan S. of DJBooth.net gave the album a four out of five, saying, \"Joe Budden is to album delays what Snoop is to weed smoking – just about everyone does it now and again, but not like these guys.", "These delays seemingly stem from Budden's refusal to put out an inferior product, which is what makes him so good, but that kind of perfectionism can be paralyzing.", "Let's just hope the next time we hear from Budden it will be because he released \"Padded Room\", not ended up in one.", "\"\nTC of The Smoking Section gave the album a 3.5 out of five, saying, \"Much to Budden's credit, \"Halfway House\" serves as one his more focused offerings, allowing more room for song structure opposed to the long-winded diatribes he's made his forte.", "Still with yet another album completed stuffed with mood music, and one named \"Padded Room\" looming on the horizon, the prognosis for the removal of the straitjacket that allows him to be Joe Budden while simultaneously restraining his artistic growth, is still to be determined.\"", "Punknews.org reviewer, Anchors, gave the album five stars out of five, saying \"That never-quit attitude has been Budden's trademark for years, and it makes him somewhat of an anomaly in 2008.", "There's no niche for that kind of approach.", "He's too intelligent for the gangsta-rap tag and too gangsta for the backrap-rap title.", "He's an East Coast rapper with Tupac's West Coast introspection.", "He's a Jersey City rapper with Biggie's Brooklyn storytelling.", "\"\nNotes", "Sample credits" ]

Leavitt\" found that the Federal government was liable for payments under a 638 contract.", "Although the 638 contracts provide necessary funding and assistance programs to many tribes, PL 93-638 had significant limitations.", "For example, tribes did not have the ability to reallocate government funds across different 638-contracted programs to meet shifting needs in their communities.", "According to section 106c of the law \"all contracts between the appropriate Secretary and Indian tribes shall be limited to a term of one (1) to three (3) years,\" sometimes making it difficult to achieve longer term goals.", "The 1975 law also allowed either Secretary to annul a 638 contract or reassume control of a program \"if he or she finds that the tribal contractor's performance involves the violations of rights...gross negligence or mismanagement in the handling of contract funds.\"", "Amendments have been made by legislators to the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act." ]

shelter in the river mouth of the Indragiri River.", "Subsequently, a disaster destroyed their villages and caused many deaths; they vowed to no longer live in huts on the land and since then chose to remain in their boats.", "In this legend there are two themes, firstly the destruction of the original village, a very common folktale among the sea nomads of the region, and secondly the theme of Bugis domination.", "Of course, there is no reason to associate the Orang Laut Bugis people with the true Bugis people.", "Dictionary of the Orang Laut Bugis language, compiled by Shelter, fully corresponds to the Duano' language and therefore, has little in common with the Bugis language of the island of Sulawesi.", "On the other hand, the Bugis people in the 18th century had actively pursued commercial activities in the Riau Archipelago.", "They might well have close business relationships with certain groups of the Duano' people.", "The Bugis people during this period also occupied leading positions in a number of Malay sultanates, including in Johor.", "It is not surprising, then, that the Duano' people, to whom their Malay neighbors were contemptuous, sought an alliance, whether true or apparently, with representatives of this prestigious group of people.", "Unlike the Malay people, the Bugis people have always been kind to the indigenous population, as they were interested in the local's services as experts of the coast of the region.", "In the 19th century, the Duano' people began to accept Islam.", "After which they had already appeared on the territory of modern Malaysia.", "Malaysian Orang Kuala people are believed to be descended from the Bengkalis Island.", "In regards to religion, the Duano' people are Muslims.", "They were converted to Islam in the 19th century.", "In Malaysia, where the question of religion is related to the official status of the people, the Duano' people insist that they are not pagans, as they do not eat pork or dugongs, do not have dogs on their boats and therefore cannot be considered in the same category as with other indigenous Orang Asli people of the peninsular part of the country.", "They are also advocates of Islam, according to official statistics held in Malaysia.", "Thus, according to JHEOA 1997, in Johor, all 2,918 Orang Kuala were Muslims.", "Despite the fact that the Duano' people have long been advocates of Islam, they are not diligent in daily prayers, nor do they visit mosques regularly, and do not usually attend to Friday prayers.", "It happens that during the execution of Muslim rituals, the Duano' people are always carefree, and in turn, offending the feelings of other believers.", "Another norm not seen in the Duano' people is also the typical of Muslims social segregation by gender.", "In their everyday practice, the Duano' people often turn to their pre-Islamic traditional animistic beliefs.", "They believe that the world around them is filled with the spirits of nature (Malay language, \"hantu\").", "Causing dissatisfaction with the spirits, according to their beliefs, can result in one's illness, conflict, and death.", "A fisherman who dares to throw a fishing net in the rainy season without having fulfilled a pre-established ritual will inevitably suffer from it.", "The Duano' people have their own spiritual healers, who, in their opinion, have supernatural abilities.", "The only way to treat is to cast spell on the spirits.", "At the same time, the Duano' people do not speak about their traditional religion, emphasizing their beliefs in Islam in every possible way.", "The Duano' people have developed a highly specialized complex economic, based on rich, but very limited variety of composition, local natural resources.", "Their villages are on the very edge of the land, usually in the river mouths and quite close to the seaside coast.", "During the sea tides, the water level rises high.", "The Duano' people place their huts on a narrow marshy land strip that appears along the mangrove thickets only during the outflow.", "Duano' buildings are made of wooden platforms, mounted on stilts, and resemble like bridges.", "On this platform, there is a living room, as well as a spacious area for drying nets and drying fish.", "All the designs are casually built from wooden boards.", "For example, the Duano' village of Kuala Benut in Malaysia, located at the mouth of the same name Benut River, where in 1967 there were about 60 of such huts.", "During flood the water reaches up to the floor of their houses.", "During a flood the wooden stairs allow one to descend from the platform to the ground where the boats are.", "Almost every Duano' family has a boat.", "There are two main types of boats that they buy or build.", "The \"jelo 'penat\" is a dugout-boat with a keel.", "Another type is a bigger boat called \"kota\"'.", "They have a dry palm leaf \"atap\" (roofing) and are able to seat a family on board.", "In Malay language, this type of boat is called \"sampan kotak\".", "The main occupation of the Duano' people is fishing.", "Fishes are caught in the river mouths, trapping them with a net, or in the open sea with grids, fishing line or traps.", "Additionally, mollusks and other marine life that are found in the mud by the coast are harvested.", "For this purpose, they use a special board called \"papantungka\".", "There is no division of labor by gender in the Duano' society.", "Only young mothers caring for small children are exempted from fishing.", "Although the Duano' people are often counted as part of the Orang laut, they are not sea nomads.", "Though they can live for a long time in their boats and go to sea for fishing, they would still return to their village by the coast.", "When, for example, in May, the southern winds interfere with navigation in the Strait of Malacca, the Duano' people often go to the eastern coast of the Malaysian Peninsula.", "Thus, we can say that their practices are seasonally based.", "At the same time, their migrations pattern have always taken place and occur in a limited area, where for centuries their places have remained practically in the same region.", "Their villages are not permanent, people can easily change the location of the village, usually due to the variability of the coastline.", "The Duano' people are well known in the local waters, as it is also known to all Orang laut tribes living in the region.", "Fish and seafood are used for both own consumption and for sale.", "One of the unique traditions of the Duano' people is to gather and harvest sumbun (Solen grandis) once a year.", "Sumbun is a type of a local razor clam that is a favorite delicacy of the Duano' community in Jambi, Indonesia.", "This habit of catching the sumbun is common among the Duano' people and many of those that inhabit the east coast of Jambi, Indonesia, especially in East Tanjung Jabung Regency and West Tanjung Jabung Regency.", "Sumbun is generally known to be found in China, West Kalimantan, and in the waters of Jambi, as well as parts of Riau Islands, Indonesia.", "In fact, these sumbuns that are found in muddy waters made East Tanjung Jabung Regency as one of three special regions of sumbun producers in Indonesia.", "Harvesting of the sumbun is a unique tradition of the locals with the potential for further development.", "The harvesting and gathering of sumbun can be introduced through this tradition, especially in Jambi due to the uniqueness of the region's water biota.", "The special dish of the local Duano' community is the sumbun soup, which is known of its soft and uniquely distinct meat.", "The traditional way of managing their welfare does not allow these people to provide themselves with everything that they need.", "Clothing, foods and vegetables are bought from the neighboring Chinese or Malay population.", "They themselves offer fish and seafood.", "For this purpose, the Duano' people are regularly to go to the shops in the city, where they would carry out trading operations and store fresh water.", "It is generally known that the Duano' people are simple and peaceful.", "They are not particularly attracted to modern technology and only a small percentage graduate high school.", "At the same time, contacts with the outside world are important.", "In Malaysia, the Duanp' people, like all of the other Orang Asli tribes, are supported by the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA).", "Employees of the department regularly visit the Duano' community to implement various social, economic and educational programs.", "People are increasingly integrating into mainstream culture.", "They borrowed many aspects of Malay culture and lifestyle.", "The traditional life of the Duano' people in Malaysia has now undergone significant changes.", "Their settlements have also appeared in inland areas, where their livelihood is not connected with the sea.", "There are some existing small Duano' farms and plantations.", "While some of them are hired in the industry and agriculture.", "The development of infrastructure in the region has made it easier for them to travel to work in large cities.", "Some of the Duano' people have achieved some success in business or working in the service sector.", "At least one Duano' village specializes in the restoration and sale of used furniture.", "But the leading branch of the economy remains, as before, the fishery, although here the increasing numbers of Duano' people have begun to use modern methods and technical means.", "Mustafa Omar and Nor Hafizah Mohd Fizer, in 2015, published the results of a survey conducted in 2012 between the two communities of Orang Asli: the Orang Kuala and Orang Kanaq in the Kota Tinggi District, Johor, Malaysia.", "Those that were interviewed included 51 heads of households in the village of Sungai Layau.", "As it turned out, the Duano' people markedly dominated the Orang Kanaq on all indicators of living standards.", "None of them had a lower income than RM500 per month, that is, not being below the poverty line; 35.3% had earnings at RM500-999 per month, 37.3% at RM1,000-1,499, and 27.5% over RM1,500 per month.", "Significantly the Duano' people are more effective than the Orang Kanaq in using state aid, which is allocated for education and development of entrepreneurial activity.", "The Duano' people clearly position themselves as a separate people group.", "They believe that they have nothing to do with other non-Malaysian populations living in the Malacca Strait.", "Indicative is the attitude of the Duano' people to the ethnic names imposed on them from the outside.", "Oranq Kuala in Malaysia do not perceive the term \"Orang Asli\", they consider it only as an official euphemism, which should replace the obscene name of \"Sakai\", which in the past was applied to the \"wild\" tribes of the inland areas of the Malay Peninsula.", "These people are pagans, do not adhere to Muslim rules, and the Duano' people who practice the Islamic faith can not be united with them.", "Orang Kuala wants to officially recognize the name \"Orang Melayu Kuala\" (Kuala Malay people or Kuala Malays), that is, \"estuary Malay people\" or \"Malay people of the estuary\", as this would be more in line with their social status.", "They also reject the name \"Orang laut\" because of its disdainful shade.", "So the inhabitants of the land scornfully call the sea nomads, \"dirty\" people living in boats, do not adhere to Muslim traditions, involved with witchcraft and find themselves with unclean power.", "The Duano' people do not consider themselves to be as such.\nTheir relationship with their Malay neighbors, which they call Desin Damangami or Desin Damong, is ambiguous.", "These two peoples are very close in terms of language and culture, but they are clearly aware of the differences between them.", "The Duano' people have taken over many features of the Malay culture and lifestyle, but racial differences do not allow them to fully integrate into Malay society.", "At the forefront in the relations between peoples are political factors, given the dominant position of the Malay people in society.", "The Malay people, in general, are disdainful to the Duano' people and others like them, because they are of different origin.", "At the domestic level, they constantly reproached the Duano' people for their carefree attitude towards Islamic rituals and traditions.", "On the other hand, Duano' people that are not accepted in the Malay society, feel a clear image and do not want to recognize this state of affairs and do not consider themselves below the Malay people.", "Given the nature of the relationship between the Malay people and the Duano' people, marriages between them are often not welcomed on both sides.", "Separate mixed marriages occur in the Duano' mostly with Bugis (originating from Sulawesi) and Banjar people (coming from the southeast Kalimantan).", "Another is the situation in Indonesia, at the mouth of the Indragiri River.", "Here the Duano' people often welcome marriages with local Malay people and in fact constitute a mixed group of people.", "They practically do not contact other Duano' community and other people group from the sea nomads people that have
