A member of the Army's 82nd Airborne Division Fort Bragg, North Carolina, parachutes to the ground at Charleston Air Force Base after jumping from a C-17 Globemaster III, 15th Airlift Squadron Charleston AFB, South Carolina. The jump is part of the 82nd Airborne Division Associations annual convention in downtown Charleston Aug. 8-12. 300 members of the 82nd exited the C-17s in six passes. "The jump is the keystone event," said Captain Terrance McGraw, USA, event coordinator and commander, Headquarters Company, 82nd Airborne Division Support Command, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, "It is part nostalgia and here is how we do it today.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at Kennedy Space Center, a crane lifts the shipping crate from around the Phoenix spacecraft. The spacecraft arrived May 7 via a U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III at the Shuttle Landing Facility. The Phoenix mission is the first project in NASA's first openly competed program of Mars Scout missions. Phoenix will land in icy soils near the north polar permanent ice cap of Mars and explore the history of the water in these soils and any associated rocks, while monitoring polar climate. Landing is planned in May 2008 on arctic ground where a mission currently in orbit, Mars Odyssey, has detected high concentrations of ice just beneath the top layer of soil. It will serve as NASA's first exploration of a potential modern habitat on Mars and open the door to a renewed search for carbon-bearing compounds, last attempted with NASA’s Viking missions in the 1970s. A stereo color camera and a weather station will study the surrounding environment while the other instruments check excavated soil samples for water, organic chemicals and conditions that could indicate whether the site was ever hospitable to life. Microscopes can reveal features as small as one one-thousandth the width of a human hair. Launch of Phoenix aboard a Delta II rocket is targeted for Aug. 3 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton KSC-07pd1061

Combat Control team members perform the first High Altitude, Low Opening (HALO) jump from a C-17 Globemaster III from Charleston AFB. The jump was made over North Auxiliary Airfield in North, S.C. HALO jumps are normally made at 10,000 feet or higher, allowing the parachutists to free-fall and open their chutes at a low altitude, landing undetected in hostile environments. This maneuver also allows the aircraft to evade any potential ground attack. Exact Date Shot Unknown .Published in AIRMAN Magazine November 1994
