WELLINGTON， Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- United States space scientists are to test new technologies for a powerful space-based telescope in an high-altitude balloon flight from New Zealand's South Island.

The NASA space agency confirmed Monday it would launch a long-duration， heavy-lift super pressure balloon (SPB) from the town of Wanaka for the third year running.

The launch， planned for late March or early April， would send the 532，000-cubic-meter SPB into what it described as "one of the most dynamic and severe flight regimes inside the Earth's atmosphere."

The balloon would ascend to an altitude of 33.5 km， where the stratospheric winds will propel it on a weeks-long journey around the Southern Hemisphere.

"With 32 days of flight in 2015 and 46 days in 2016， we hope to build on the successes and lessons learned of our past campaigns as we seek even longer duration flights at mid-latitudes，" NASA balloon program office chief Debbie Fairbrother said in a statement.

The balloon， which is as big as a sports stadium， would fly the University of Chicago's Extreme Universe Space Observatory (EUSO-SPB)， a high-energy cosmic ray particle astrophysics payload.

The EUSO-SPB would test a fluorescence detector and supporting technologies in a precursor for a mission being planned to launch the EUSO telescope and install it on the International Space Station.

The balloon is made from polyethylene film， similar in appearance and thickness to the type used for sandwich bags， but stronger and more durable.

The SPB was designed to float at a constant density altitude despite the heating and cooling of the day-night cycle.

The current record for a NASA super pressure balloon flight was 54 days.

Wanaka Airport operations manager Ralph Fegan said Monday that NASA had committing to the site as one of its global launch bases for up to 10 years.

The agreement had paved the way for NASA to invest in a longer term base of operations and to create a dedicated balloon launch pad， Fegan said in a statement.

There are several definitions of sustainable development and they all vary widely Cheap Santi Cazorla Jersey , the 1987 report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (i.e., Brundtland report) suggested that it is progress that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

Sustainable development is not a new concept; it has grown in prominence especially in the last few decades with the scarcity of natural resources Cheap Rob Holding Jersey , change in weather conditions and extreme climate events. I think we all can envision what sustainable development might mean based on the meaning of the words and a little common sense. Probably the first thought that comes to mind is the continued prosperity of something, such as a business. That is the essence of sustainable development.

The most easily recognized results of this concern about sustainable development are the present efforts at pollution prevention Cheap Petr Cech Jersey , reducing greenhouse gases and resource conservation through recycling; however, these concerns are only the tip of the iceberg. Sustainable development is now commonly defined to encompass continued economic prosperity Cheap Per Mertesacker Jersey , environmental protection and social equity. This growing effort will have a major impact on not only our lives but also on our professional activities as we quickly approach the 21st century.

Under the 鈥楳ake in India鈥?campaign of the new Indian government, the manufacturing sector is set to grow at a pace like no other sector. To ensure success of these development campaigns and long term sustainability it is important to work towards skilling the workforce. It is equally important that the workforce is equipped with the right skills to become champions of growth that is responsible towards the environment and the people.

The Environmental Health and Safety Center is here to provide skill building training programs to make available a skilled workforce of managers to take the Indian industries to newer heights. Located on the Symbiosis Institute of International Business campus Cheap Olivier Giroud Jersey , EHS focuses on providing education on environment, healthy and safety best practices. The courses are carefully designed to provide information and tools. The approach is to provide training and mentoring support to a participant to reach a level of expertise that enables the participant to implement these best practices in the industry.

Sustainable Development & EHS

From the health and safety perspective Cheap Nacho Monreal Jersey , the most direct connection with sustainable development is product design and stewardship. Many companies have involved safety and health professionals in the design and development of products and their subsequent proper and safe use, creating marketplace advantage and customer value. It is likely this trend will not only continue Cheap Mohamed Elneny Jersey , but be enhanced.

Other connections will span the areas of eco-efficiency (now considered to include life-cycle inventory, total cost assessment and metrics) and social accountability. More attention will be paid to the supply chain in a "think globally Cheap Mesut Ozil Jersey , act locally" manner. This might include evaluating suppliers for their contributions to sustainable development. Some companies have decided to embrace sustainable development.
Sustainable development is a movement that is sure to affect us all. It is important now to recognize the importance of this trend and to develop meaningful ways to contribute.
