CONT

Soil test phosphorus(STP) is an indicator of how much [phosphorus] is expected to be available for plant use. If STP values are to be compared, the laboratory test method for extracting [phosphorus] and how the number is reported(parts per million – ppm or lbs/acre) must be known.

OBS

Different testing laboratories can use different methods for extracting [phosphorus], producing different test results that are difficult to compare even for the same sample.

Solar Thermal Propulsion(STP)... uses large area deployable concentrators to focus the Sun's energy on a small heat exchanger, called an absorber, which is cooled by hydrogen gas propellant. The absorber transfers the concentrated heat energy from the Sun to the hydrogen gas. As the gas is heated, it expands and is directed outward through a nozzle. This expanding gas provides enough thrust in the microgravity environment of low earth orbit to transfer the vehicle to a higher energy, geosynchronous orbit around the Earth where the satellite operates.
