By establishing government-industry partnerships, the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program marked a change from the traditional way NASA had worked. Inset photos, right: The COTS program supported two U.S. companies in their efforts to design and build transportation systems to carry cargo to low-Earth orbit. (Top photo—Credit: SpaceX) SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket on May 22, 2012, from Cape Canaveral, Florida. (Second photo) Three days later, the company successfully completed the mission that sent its Dragon spacecraft to the Station. (Third photo—Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls) Orbital Sciences Corp. sent its Antares rocket on its test flight on April 21, 2013, from a new launchpad on Virginia’s eastern shore. Later that year, the second Antares lifted off with Orbital’s cargo capsule, (Fourth photo) the Cygnus, that berthed with the ISS on September 29, 2013. Both companies successfully proved the capability to deliver cargo to the International Space Station by U.S. commercial companies and began a new era of spaceflight. ISS photo, center left: Benefiting from the success of the partnerships is the International Space Station, pictured as seen by the last Space Shuttle crew that visited the orbiting laboratory (July 19, 2011).

  • Space Station Crew Answers Question About Micrometeorites - PSRD | a Cosmosparks Report
    Space Station Crew Answers Question About Micrometeorites - PSRD | A CosmoSparks report Quick Views of Big Advances Space Station Crew Answers Question about Micrometeorites Cosmochemists know space is not exactly empty. In fact, it's the solid material they seek to analyze: meteorites, asteroids, the Moon, planets, interplanetary dust particles, and stardust just to name a few. So when the astronauts on the International Space Station held a briefing on May 26, 2012 after the successful berthing and opening of the hatch to the SpaceX/Dragon capsule, PSRD's Linda Martel joined the Q&A to ask them more about the space environment, specifically micrometeorites. Expedition 30/31 flight engineer Don Pettit had inspected the outside of the Dragon capsule with binoculars the previous day and reported no micrometeorite damage. Martel asked Pettit to describe what micrometeorite damage would look like and if he had seen it, how that would have changed the procedures for berthing or hatch opening. Pettit's answer, in summary, was when micrometeorites impact the aluminum structure they make little craters, a millimeter or two in diameter, that have sharp edges. If the tiny pits Expedition 31 Flight Engineers (left to right) Don Pettit, Andre are on mating surfaces for pressure seals, they Kuipers, and Joe Acaba discuss SpaceX/Dragon's mission during can prevent a good seal.

Beginning in 1993, the international community came together to develop the medical systems for an international space station. Initially, this collaboration was bilateral in support of the Shuttle / Mir Space Station (Phase 1). However, the framework that was established to serve as the medical authority structure provided a foundation for the multilateral boards and panel, which were codified in the memoranda of understanding. The Multilateral Medical Policy Board, the Multilateral Space Medicine Board and the Multilateral Medical Operations Panel were developed in a collegial and mutually- beneficial environment by the men and women of the space agenicies of Canada, Europe, Japan, Russia, and the United States.

Afghan Wars, Oriental Carpets, and Globalization Abstract The afghan war rugs on exhibit at the Penn Museum from April 30 to July 31, 2011, raise a number of interesting questions—about carpets, Afghanistan, and the way the world as a whole is changing. These rugs, which come in a variety of sizes and qualities, derive from a tradition of oriental carpet-weaving that began to attract the attention of Western rug collectors in the late 19th century. Unlike the classic museum pieces that were produced on vertical looms in the cities of western Asia for use in palaces and grand houses, war rugs came from horizontal looms in small tribal communities of Turkmen and Baloch in the areas of central Asia on either side of the northern border of Afghanistan—tribal communities that were incorporated into the Russian Empire in the 19th century.

  • Off T E Rt , F R T E Rt
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Off t Ert, Fr t Ert A message from the Program Manager for the International Space Station As we reflect on the first 15 years of the International Space Station (ISS), we have achieved much in advancing human knowledge through research, enabling the first steps in commercialization of space, fostering peaceful international cooperation and enabling exploration beyond low earth orbit. e ISS has served as a unique microgravity laboratory to perform over 1600 experiments from researchers in over 80 countries. ese experiments are making discoveries that provide direct benefits to people on Earth and to expand our knowledge to enable humans to work, live and explore further into our solar system than ever before. To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration. Regards, FRONT COVER: A fish-eye lens was used to capture this image of NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman participating in a session of an extravehicular activity (EVA). During the six-hour, MICHAEL T. SUFFREDINI 13-minute spacewalk, Wiseman and European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst (out ISS Program Manager of frame) worked outside the space station’s Quest airlock relocating a failed cooling pump to external stowage and installing gear that provides back up power to external robotics equipment.
