NASA Interest
Exhaustive Interest : The basic theories and
formulas of atomic and molecular physics as they relate to aeronautics,
astronautics, and aerospace sciences. Those elements of atomic and molecular
physics that have actual or potential application to the aerospace program.
Selective Interest : Those applications of
atomic and molecular science that have potential use to the aerospace
sciences.
Negative Interest : Basic theories and formulas
of atomic and molecular physics that have no application to the aerospace
sciences.
