For my legacy project I am going to make an informational brochure on the wild ponies of Assateague Island. Just about everyone has heard of these famous ponies. They have either read or seen the movie Misty of Chincoteague or maybe they have been to the pony roundup. But what makes these ponies different from any other equine? How did they get there? What do they eat on the Island? How do they live? These are questions I would like to answer in my project. In order to get facts, I will also make calls, and send e-mails, to places such as The National Chincoteague Pony Association, the famous Salt Water Cowboys, and The Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. I will also be getting information by using the internet and by reading some books to learn more about them. I will then put all that I have gathered into my brochure that we can hand out to anyone who wants to learn more about the ponies. This brochure can also be used by employees if they want to share some of these facts with their group. I will first research the breed of ponies. I will learn all I can about them; their history up to the present, how they live, ect. I will also take some pictures of the ponies that will be added to the brochure as a visual aid.

RESEARCH OR LEGACY PROJECT
During the course of the internship, the Program Coordinator will work with each intern to design a research or legacy project that interests them. Interns will have scheduled times during week to work on their research or legacy project. If an intern chooses to do a research project they will be responsible for creating a research project relating to the marine science or coastal environments in some way. If an intern chooses to do a legacy project they will be responsible for creating or implementing a project that benefits the mission of the Marine Science Consortium in some way. At the end of the summer, interns are required to give a Power Point presentation describing their research or legacy project, techniques and processes learned, and how the experience was useful to the student both academically and personally. The interns meet periodically with the Program Coordinator to prepare and review the content of the oral presentations. To aid interns in the completion of their research project, the following opportunities will be available to them during their stay.
• Interns will be able to sit in on college level marine science courses and meet college professors.
• Interns will have the opportunity to work with MSC partners (NASA Wallops Flight Facility, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and faculty from some of the MSC's 13 Member Universities)
• Interns will have opportunities to work on one of the MSC two monitor boats, the R.V. Flatfish and R.V. Mollusk. Both are approximately 40 ft in length and are used primarily in the tidal creeks and Back Bay areas for trawling and sampling.
• Interns will be able to attend a college level sampling trip on an ocean going Research Vessel. The R.V. Phillip N. Parker is a 47ft diesel powered crew vessel used for cruises beyond the inlet and up to 25 miles off shore.
RESEARCH OR LEGACY PROJECT PRESENTATION- During the last week of the internship, each intern will make a presentation of approximately ten to twenty minutes to all the interns and staff members in their groups during one final meeting. This presentation will summarize what the intern has learned during the internship and should include two types of visual aids such as a PowerPoint presentation, poster or chalk talk.

NASA WALLOPS ISLAND LAUNCH FACILITY 1960s SOUNDING ROCKET LAUNCHES 42854
Made in the 1960s, this NASA produced television show Science Reporter shows activities at the Wallops Flight Facility located on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, United States, approximately 100 miles (160 km) north-northeast of Norfolk, including launches of sounding rockets and missiles. This includes the Scout. The original Scout (an acronym for Solid Controlled Orbital Utility Test system) was designed in 1957 at the NACA Langley center. Scout launch vehicles were used from 1961 until 1994. To enhance reliability the development team opted to use off the shelf hardware, originally produced for military programs.
The film also shows work by Penn State University researchers at the 6:30 mark, with researchers who are studying the ionosphere, and features an interview with a member of Argentina's sounding rocket program at 11:30. At 16:14 the rocket blockhouse at Wallops is shown.
For over 40 years the Sounding Rocket Program has provided critical scientific, technical, and educational contributions to the nation's space program and is one of the most robust, versatile, and cost-effective flight programs at NASA.
Sounding rockets carry scientific instruments into space along a parabolic trajectory. Their overall time in space is brief, typically 5-20 minutes, and at lower vehicle speeds for a well-placed scientific experiment. The short time and low vehicle speeds are more than adequate (in some cases they are ideal) to carry out a successful scientific experiments. Furthermore, there are some important regions of space that are too low for satellites and thus sounding rockets provide the only platforms that can carry out measurements in these regions.
Wallops is operated by the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, primarily as a rocket launch site to support science and exploration missions for NASA and other Federal agencies. WFF includes an extensively instrumented range to support launches of more than a dozen types of sounding rockets, small expendable suborbital and orbital rockets, high altitude balloon flights carrying scientific instruments for atmospheric and astronomical research and—using its Research Airport—flight tests of aeronautical research aircraft including unmanned aerial vehicles.
There have been over 16,000 launches from the rocket testing range at Wallops since its founding in 1945 in the quest for information on the flight characteristics of airplanes, launch vehicles, and spacecraft, and to increase the knowledge of the Earth's upper atmosphere and the environment of outer space. The launch vehicles vary in size and power from the small Super Loki meteorological rockets to orbital-class vehicles.[3][4][5]
The Wallops Flight Facility also supports science missions for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and occasionally for foreign governments and commercial organizations. Wallops also supports development tests and exercises involving United States Navy aircraft and ship-based electronics and weapon systems in the Virginia Capes operating area, near the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. In addition to its fixed-location instrumentation assets, the WFF range includes mobile radar, telemetry receivers, and command transmitters that can be transported by cargo planes to locations around the world, in order to establish a temporary range where no other instrumentation exists, to ensure safety, and to collect data in order to enable and support suborbital rocket launches from remote sites.
The WFF mobile range assets have been used to support rocket launches from locations in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, South America, Africa, Europe, Australia, and at sea. Workers at Wallops include approximately 1,000 full-time NASA civil service employees and the employees of contractors, about 30 U.S. Navy personnel, and about 100 employees of NOAA.

Welcome to the Virginia Coast Reserve
Just across the Chesapeake Bay from metropolitan Hampton Roads, Virginia's Eastern Shore forms the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula. Along the Shore's seaside margins, a chain of sandy barrier islands comprises the Virginia Coast Reserve - the longest expanse of coastal wilderness remaining on the East Coast. It's also one of the most critical migratory bird habitats on Earth. Vistors are welcome on several of these islands year-round, but please be aware of the regulations put in place by The Nature Conservancy to protect the thousands of birds that call these islands home.

Doug Dahms, Wilson football Coach, Teacher and Humanitarian
Wilson head football coach Doug Dahms talks about the remarkable multiplicity of his coaching, educational and humanitarian endeavors outside of football with Zeke. Dahms also is the head boys and girls indoor and outdoor track coach at Wilson and runs the Wilson High School Ski Club. Dahms shares with the Zeke the differences and similarities between coaching football and track. Dahms also talks about his teaching career at Wilson.
He designed and is teaching AP Biology, Honors Biology and AP Environmental Science. In addition, he leads the Wallops Island Marine Science Consortium Field Trip to Virginia each year and is the director of the Jamaica Marine Studies Field Trip to St. Ann’s Bay, which also has a humanitarian outreach to impoverished people. Dahms tells Zeke he manages to do all this because he is good at multitasking, gets great support from his wife and coaching staffs, and sleeps only 4-5 hours a night.
