I am so grateful to be able to spend my days surrounded by bright, motivated and energetic young people. The students in KU’s Honors Program never cease to amaze and move me with their ideas as well as their ideals, and their commit - ment to making a difference in the world. The staff and faculty are dedicated to creating an environment in which these individuals can be nurtured and thrive. Our goal is to provide a set of transfor - mational experiences that are tailored to n a each student’s unique interests and tal - g i l l ents. For some, working closely with a u M y l faculty member on research is that trans - i m formative experience. For others, it’s E Megan McDonald and Steve Hawley talk following his Alumni Lecture spending a semester abroad or engaging in significant service to the community. And for many, it’s all of these things and more. It is a great pleasure to watch these students transform from tentative first- year students to supremely confident and Honors alum and astronaut competent seniors and know the Univer - sity Honors Program played a significant Hawley shares Space role in that transformation.

    Concepts and Approaches for Mars Exploration1

    June 24, 2012 Concepts and Approaches for Mars Exploration1 ‐ Report of a Workshop at LPI, June 12‐14, 2012 – Stephen Mackwell2 (LPI) Michael Amato (NASA Goddard), Bobby Braun (Georgia Institute of Technology), Steve Clifford (LPI), John Connolly (NASA Johnson), Marcello Coradini (ESA), Bethany Ehlmann (Caltech), Vicky Hamilton (SwRI), John Karcz (NASA Ames), Chris McKay (NASA Ames), Michael Meyer (NASA HQ), Brian Mulac (NASA Marshall), Doug Stetson (SSECG), Dale Thomas (NASA Marshall), and Jorge Vago (ESA) Executive Summary Recent deep cuts in the budget for Mars exploration at NASA necessitate a reconsideration of the Mars robotic exploration program within NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD), especially in light of overlapping requirements with future planning for human missions to the Mars environment. As part of that reconsideration, a workshop on “Concepts and Approaches for Mars Exploration” was held at the USRA Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, TX, on June 12‐14, 2012. Details of the meeting, including abstracts, video recordings of all sessions, and plenary presentations, can be found at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/marsconcepts2012/. Participation in the workshop included scientists, engineers, and graduate students from academia, NASA Centers, Federal Laboratories, industry, and international partner organizations. Attendance was limited to 185 participants in order to facilitate open discussion of the critical issues for Mars exploration in the coming decades. As 390 abstracts were submitted by individuals interested in participating in the workshop, the Workshop Planning Team carefully selected a subset of the abstracts for presentation based on their appropriateness to the workshop goals, and ensuring that a broad diverse suite of concepts and ideas was presented.

    Chandra X-Ray Observatory What is Chandra? Chandra is the third of NASA’s Great Observatories along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. It is the largest and most sophisticated X-ray observatory ever constructed. After it is launched into orbit around Earth, Chandra will be able to detect X-ray sources that are billions of light years away and produce images twenty-five times sharper than the best previous X-ray telescope. Chandra’s focusing power is equivalent to the ability to read the headline of a newspaper at a distance of half a mile! Mission Specifications Size: 45.3 ft x 64.0 ft Antennas: two low-gain, conical log (solar arrays deployed) spiral antennas Weight: 10,560 pounds Frequencies: transmit 2250 MHz, receive 2071.8 MHz Orbit: 6,200 x 86,000 miles Command Link: 2 kilobits per second (kbps) 28.5 deg. inclination Ascending node: 200 degrees Data Recording: solid state recorder; 1.8 gigabits (16.8 hrs) recording capability Argument of perigee: 270 degrees Downlink: downloaded typically every Operations: eight hours Life: minimum 5 years Contingency Mode: 23 kbps Power: two 3-panel silicon solar arrays (2350W) Safing: autonomous operation three 40 amp-hour nickel hydrogen batteries The Chandra Launch - STS 93 Astronaut Crew The Chandra Observatory will be carried into orbit by the Space Shuttle Columbia, on shuttle mission STS 93.
