AEDC history office team puts a face on history
Gwendolyn Hinson, AEDC archive assistant, and David Hiebert, AEDC’s historian, look at a metal sign made to commemorate the restoration of the J-5 Rocket Test Cell. The facility was destroyed in an explosion in 1985. No one was killed, but the explosion could be heard 30 miles away. According to Hiebert, the center vowed to return it to service in one year at $20 million. They did it in less time for less money. The red bird is the phoenix rising from the ashes. Hiebert said the commemorative piece is a heavy piece of metal, weighing around 50 pounds. (Photo by Rick Goodfriend))

Pioneer
Otto Bock of Brentwood, Tenn., is shown inside the 1,000-foot underground Hypervelocity Ballistic Range G, at AEDC's von Karman Facility. He played a major role in designing many of the optical data systems used in the range. He takes a last look before retiring May 28, 1976 at the huge Fresnel lenses that are part of a shadowgraph system that is able to take “stop action” photos of models as they speed down range at up to 14,000 miles an hour.

Collaboration
In 1972, AEDC engineers Otto Bock and Charley Enis discussed elements of a photopyrometer; a system in Arnold’s Hypervelocity Ballistic Range G. Bock developed the system with help from Enis. A photopyrometer is used in conjunction with computer processing to provide test data required for reentry vehicle development. (AEDC photo)
