BBC documentary James May on the Moon

Lt. Col. John Gibbons, Flight Surgeon with the Air Force Research Laboratory, monitors the vital signs of James May, Presenter with the BBC, from the AFRL Centrifuge control room during production of a documentary by BBC, which commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, the first to put a man on the Moon. May was spun to several Gs in the AFRL Centrifuge at Brooks City-Base, TX. His experience allowed him to be more familiar with the experiences of Apollo 11 Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., during the initial phase of launch which entered orbit of the Earth 12 minutes after takeoff. (US Air Force photo/Steve Thurow)

Robotic package designed to protect vehicle convoys

A military vehicle with a robotic package attached to the front bumper is shown. The robotic package was designed to be used on convoy missions, allowing the driver to maintain situational awareness. Air Force researchers hope the technology will enable vehicle operators to focus less on mechanics of driving and more on looking for potential threats. (U.S. Air Force photo)
