The first of NASA NASA s three High Energy Astronomy Observatories, HEAO 1 , launched August 12, 1977 aboard an Atlas rocket with a Centaur rocket stage Centaur upper stage, operated until 9 January 1979. During that time, it scanned the X ray sky almost three times over 0.2 keV 10 MeV, provided nearly constant monitoring of X ray sources near the ecliptic poles, as well as more detailed studies of a number of objects through pointed observations. HEAO included four large X ray and gamma ray astronomy instruments, known as A1, A2, A3, and A4, respectively before launch, HEAO 1 was known as HEAO A . The orbital inclination was about 22.7 degrees. HEAO 1 re entered the Earth s atmosphere on 15 March 1979.

primarysources date December 2010 The National Obesity Observatory NOO is a publicly funded body that is part of a network of Public Health Observatories across Britain and Ireland. It publishes data, information, and intelligence related to obesity, overweight, and their underlying causes. NOO works closely with a wide range of organisations to assist policy makers and practitioners who are involved in understanding and tackling obesity at population level. It does this through analysing and interpreting research and data to produce reports and briefings. To support these activities it also produces analytical and data visualisation tools. These are used, for example, to map obesity and associated determinants at national, regional and local levels. Members of NOO were instrumental in establishing the National Child Measurement Programme NCMP . Analysis and interpretation of the NCMP dataset is a core element of NOO s work. NOO is a member of the Public health observatory Association of Public Health Observatories .
