The nose cap was surveyed next followed by the port wing.

The center of the spherical nose cap can be found from:

The nose cap contains a smoke pellet to mark the point of impact.

After scanning the nose cap, they moved on to the port wing and repeated the procedure.

Mac snapped off the warhead's nose cap and pulled the safety pin.

Val need simply put a piece of terrestrial matter in the nose cap, and the Zuni gods would call her to them.

This ejects the nose cap, which deploys the pilot parachute.

The other wing and the nose cap will be inspected on flight day twelve following undocking.

The girl unlatched and unscrewed the nose cap.

Early E-2C variant nose cap installed for static display.

In one case it involved, I believe, insulation shedding debris from the nose cap of the solid rocket motor, the booster.

While his colleagues chanted a prayer, Balawahdiwa unfastened and unscrewed the nose cap.

The modification involved a slot machined on the nose cap and a stud sleeve attached to the barrel.

New barrel bands and nose caps were fitted and a new bayonet was issued.

"In the 80s we installed pressure sensors in the nose cap of the space shuttle to study hypersonic flow.

It was not quite three inches long, .80 caliber, with a conical aluminum nose cap which contained the detonator.

A black-plastic nose capped a snubby muzzle and a winsome, sewn-on smile.

The briefing center's domelike interior had been painted with stripes of black and white that converged on the point of the nose cap.

is the radius of the spherical nose cap.

As the two buoyant capsules, pointed in a forty-five-degree up angle, reached the surface, they jettisoned their nose caps and aft bodies.

The nose cap and wing leading-edge panels of the shuttle were cleared for entry as they were, but a reentry clearance was not given.

The recovery sequence begins with the operation of the high-altitude baroswitch, which triggers the pyrotechnic nose cap thrusters.

If it hit steel, or rock, you'd probably get a mild pyrotechnic effect, from the aluminum nose cap vaporizing into aluminum oxide under the impact.

The leftmost part is the body, the collet is shown protruding from the body, and the nose cap is separate, on the right.

There, the crew deployed the robotic arm, beginning Late Inspection of the reinforced carbon-carbon tiles on the nose cap and wing leading edges.

He then sat next to the warheads and uncovered the nosecap on each one.

The nosecap is tapered, which causes the fingers to clamp onto the tool.

The rounded tips of the nacelles came even with the launch's stubby nosecap.

Jettisoning the nosecap released the pilot parachute which pulled out the drogue.

Sakkar pointed to the ball that Hassoud had already spotted next to the hollow nosecap.

Most Confederate rifles also differed from the Union rifles they were based on with a different rear sight and brass nosecap.

Earlier, only the shuttle's nosecap and wing leading edges had the extreme high-heat protection of carbon-carbon alloys--now the entire surface had it.

A shaped charge rammed a titanium nosecap through the patrol boat's hull, and the torpedo actually swam three feet inside the port engine room before its eight-hundred-pound warhead exploded.

The reinforced carbon-carbon, R.C.C. in the lingo of NASA engineers, covers the orbiter's nosecap and makes up the 22 panels that protect the edge of each wing.

The missile's titanium nosecap pierced the outer hull of the carrier before the eleven-hundred-pound high-explosive warhead detonated, ensuring that most of the missile's deadly force was directed inside the vessel.

The Model 1855 musket was modified in 1858 to include a simpler rear sight (the typical flip-up leaf type), a patchbox on the side of the buttstock, and an iron nosecap to replace the brass one.

Then he lifted the little ship an iral or so above the deck and swiveled until her nosecap was a few irats short of Prize's port hatch cover with her tail protruding from the starboard side.

The collet design has two pieces: a threaded "nosecap" and four collet fingers; the collet fingers threaded on the outside so the nosecap is screwed onto them.

The No. 4 rifle had a heavier barrel, stronger steel in the action body and bolt body and a short "grip-less" (or "spike") bayonet that mounted directly to the barrel, rather than to a separate nosecap.

The SMLE's visual trademark was its blunt nose, with only the bayonet boss protruding a small fraction of an inch beyond the nosecap, being modeled on the Swedish Model 1894 Cavalry Carbine.

As the missiles closed to within a mile, the ALQ-199 MAWS active countermeasures pods be'an firing laser beams at the missiles, blinding the sen- sitive radar sensors in the missile's nosecap.

Masters glanced up at the cylindrical launch-bay airlock, which actually did resemble the chamber of a gun; inside, he could see the nosecap of the Air-Launched Alert Response Missile, which certainly resembled a bullet, as it motored into position.

Crew members also used the robotic arm and the orbital boom sensor system to perform final inspections of the starboard wing and shuttle nosecap for any damage that may have been caused by orbital debris while docked with the International Space Station.
