Photos of Pluto Powered by Aiken's Savannah River SiteĀ

Jul 16 2015 12:01 am

This week, the New Horizons spacecraft has sent data and close up pictures of Pluto back to earth from 3 billion miles away.

For the last nine and a half years, this spacecraft has been generating most of its electrical power using PU-238 produced at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, SC. Originally, the New Horizons mission was to be fueled with freshly produced PU-238 from Russia because fresh fuel produces more electrical power. Because of delays and a shutdown of the Los Alamos processing facility in 2004, only a small amount of that fuel was available.

As a result, fuel that was produced by Savannah River in the 1980s had to be used. When New Horizons was launched in 2006, this mixture produced 15 percent less electrical power than was originally planned, but that amount was still considered adequate to complete the mission to Pluto. For almost three decades, Savannah River Site reactors and canyon facilities produced the PU-238 for NASA space missions that have explored all the outer planets in our solar system. It only seems appropriate that this mission to Pluto would also use fuel produced at Savannah River Site.

Aiken to have it own Symphony...Aiken Symphony Orchestra

5/27/2015

Donald Portnoy has guest conducted in Argentina, China, England, Germany, Poland, South Korea, Italy and Romania. But it was the audience in Aiken that captured him. He said the orchestra audience in Aiken so impressed him that he thought, “This city should have its own orchestra.” Through the efforts of Portnoy, Thomas Hofstetter and the Aiken Symphony Guild, Aiken finally will have just that. Tickets are now on sale to the Aiken Symphony Orchestra’s first season, which will begin in September. The performances are as follows:

• “Paremski Plays Tchaikovsky” featuring pianist Natasha Paremski: Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m.; USC Aiken’s Etherredge Center, 471 University Parkway

• “Viva España!” featuring the Beijing Guitar Duo: Nov. 7 at 7:30 p.m.; Etherredge Center

•Beethoven, Beethoven, Beethoven!:” featuring violinist Vadim Gluzman: Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m.; Aiken’s First Baptist Church, 120 Chesterfield St. N.E.

“These are three fantastic artists that we are bringing to Aiken,” Portnoy said.

The Aiken Symphony Guild will act as the “principal presenting organization during the start-up phase and the first season of the orchestra,” Hofstetter said.

“We are a presenting group, so we pick who we are going to present,” said Em Ligon, Aiken Symphony Guild co-president. “This year, because of the formation of this new orchestra, we have chosen them to be the group we are presenting. ... Anything it costs to put that orchestra on stage is ours.” Portnoy and Hofstetter presented opera singer Frederica von Stade’s farewell concert to Aiken in 2011; the Orchestra of the Midlands was formed for the concert. That same orchestra is helping to make up the Aiken Symphony Orchestra, said Hofstetter, who is the chairman of the orchestra’s organization committee. “These are some of the finest players, (who are) the most professional ... and highest quality,” Portnoy said. Auditions for musicians will be held in Aiken; dates to be determined. Portnoy is the orchestra’s conductor and, among other responsibilities, will oversee the “recruitment and appointment of professional symphony orchestra musicians,” Hofstetter said. Portnoy’s connections helped the orchestra obtain the season’s featured artists. For example, the seasoned conductor has worked with Gluzman numerous times. “Aiken is being offered a proven and professional symphony orchestra, a world-respected conductor, the ability to draw world-class soloists, and all of the many advantages the orchestra will afford to the quality of life of its citizens,” Hofstetter said.

Season tickets can be purchased for $105 until July 15 and for $120 starting July 16. Starting Aug. 1, individual tickets, which will be available for $40, can be reserved through the Etherredge Center box office’s website. To order tickets early, attendees should download a form atwww.aikensymphonyguild.org and mail it to the Etherredge Center’s box office, 471 University Parkway. Preferred seating is offered to season ticket holders, and applicable fees will apply, Ligon said. For more information, visit www.aikensymphonyguild.org or call 803-648-0364 or 803-641-3305.

Atlanta Magazine - Destination Aiken, SC

Nice article about aiken.....

Picture
Unbridled equine excitement permeates the air in this charming 9,000-horse town. Journey east on I-20 a half hour past Augusta, and you’ll find yourself clopping through the Carolinas’ equestrian epicenter. This is primo sandy-soiled horse country, where sheikhs with dreams of Derby glory train their prized ponies, and the hottest to-dos are typically thrown in an infield under a tent. The spring season starts next month with the Aiken Triple Crown, three consecutive Saturdays of racing, steeplechase, and polo action; the galloping zeal continues through June. - See more at: http://www.atlantamagazine.com/travel/destination-aiken-south-carolina/#sthash.xTQztrYh.dpuf
