The CBS News space pages have been upgraded to improve compliance across different platforms. The revamped space pages are located here: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/home/index.html. Please bookmark the new site. CBS News space emails will continue as usual, but this page is being discontinued. Changes and additions: 08/07/10 (07:25 AM): U.S. EVA-15 begins (ammonia pump R&R) 08/07/10 (06:35 PM): Marathon spacewalk derailed by ammonia leak, jammed fitting 08/09/10 (04:15 PM): Flight controllers revise plans for second coolant repair spacewalk 08/10/10 (05:45 PM): NASA managers approve plan for Wednesday spacewalk (UPDATED) 08/11/10 (06:15 AM): Spacewalk preparations slightly behind schedule 08/11/10 (08:30 AM): U.S. EVA-16 begins (ammonia pump R&R part 2) 08/11/10 (10:40 AM): M3 ammonia line successfully disconnected 10:45 AM, 8/11/10, Update: M3 ammonia line successfully disconnected Astronaut Douglas Wheelock, applying brute force to shake a balky connector loose, successfully demated a final ammonia line from a failed coolant pump module today, setting the stage for the pump's removal and eventual replacement. Because of a significant ammonia leak in the M3 connector during a spacewalk Saturday, Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson were unable to complete preparations for the pump's removal, leaving the line in place pending additional troubleshooting. Today, the astronauts planned to first close a quick-disconnect fitting on the outboard end of the S1 truss to isolate the line leading to the M3 connector. But Caldwell Dyson was unable to depress a release button, preventing her from closing the outboard quick- disconnect. Flight controllers then told Wheelock, anchored to the end of the space station's robot arm, to press ahead with an attempt to simply close the leaking M3 connector in hopes that lower pressure in the line, the result of earlier ground-commanded nitrogen venting, would reduce the leakage enough to disconnect the line from the pump. To the relief of anxious flight controllers, the connector closed easily and no major leakage was observed. "I don't see anything leaking," Wheelock reported. "Excellent," replied Oscar Koehler from mission control in Houston. "And Wheels, if you see any leak, we're comparing this leak to what you saw when you first did the SPD on EVA-1. "OK, I see a couple of little snowflakes," Wheelock reported a moment later. "But I don't see anything leaking around the white band like last time. ... OK, here they start to come out now by the white band, just little snowflakes." CBS News Space Place - Space News.htm[1/12/2017 10:02:23 AM] CBS News Space Place - Space News The leakage quickly diminished and flight controllers told Caldwell Dyson there was no need to continue work to close the outboard quick-disconnect. "That's great news," Wheelock said. "It's awesome," Koehler agreed. A few moments later, with no observable leakage, engineers decided there was no need to install a vent tool to release any residual ammonia that might be trapped in the line. Wheelock was then cleared to remove M3 from the pump module. But in keeping with M3's now-familiar behavior, Wheelock was initially unable to pry the fitting apart using a lever tool. "We believe there may be ice in there that's keeping it from releasing," Koehler advised. "So you've got a go to ... move the QD left to right to try to shake some of that ammonia ice out of there." After working the fitting from side to side with no success, mission control told Wheelock "you've got a go to shake violently, that's the words I was given, in all directions." Television views from Wheelock's helmet camera showed him energetically shaking the fitting from side to side. After multiple attempts, the connector finally released and Wheelock pulled the M3 line away from the pump at 10:23 a.m. There were no obvious signs of problems with the connector and the astronauts were cleared to press ahead with their pump removal work. Five electrical cables will be demated by Caldwell Dyson before the astronauts loosen four bolts to free the pump from the S1 truss. If all goes well, the pump will be mounted on an attachment fitting at the base of the station's robot arm transporter. 8:30 AM, 8/11/10, Update: Spacewalk begins Astronauts Douglas Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson, floating in the Quest airlock module, switched their spacesuits to internal battery power at 8:27 a.m. to officially kick off a planned six-hour spacewalk. The primary goal of the excursion is to remove a shorted ammonia pump module so a replacement can be installed during a spacewalk Sunday. This is the 149th EVA devoted to space station assembly and maintenance since construction began in 1998, the 13th so far this year, the fifth overall for Wheelock and the second for Caldwell Dyson. Going into today's outing, ISS spacewalk time stood at 929 hours and 38 minutes, or 38.7 days. For identification, Wheelock, call sign EV-1, will be wearing a suit with red stripes around the legs and use helmet cam No. 19. Caldwell Dyson, EV-2, will wear an unmarked suit and use helmet cam No. 20. The astronauts attempted to remove the faulty pump during a spacewalk Saturday, but one of four ammonia line quick-disconnect fittings leaked, presumably because of problems with an internal valve on the outboard side of the fitting. Today, Wheelock will make another attempt to simply close the M3 quick-disconnect fitting. If the leak persists, the astronauts plan to close quick-disconnect valves at the inboard and outboard ends of the starboard one, or S1, truss where the pump module is located to isolate the ammonia line leading to the leaking connector. Flight controllers earlier lowered pressure in the system and after the astronauts install a vent tool to get rid of any residual ammonia trapped in the line, the M3 quick disconnect will be closed and removed. That should clear the way for disconnection of five electrical umbilicals. After loosening four bolts, the failed pump module will be removed and temporarily mounted on a powered attach fitting at the base of the station's robot arm transporter. If all goes well, a spare pump will be installed and reconnected during a third spacewalk Sunday.

The spacewalk had been scheduled to begin at 7:55 a.m., but could slip to around 8:30 a.m. if the current pace holds up. 05:45 PM, 8/10/10, Update: NASA managers approve plan for Wednesday spacewalk (UPDATED at 6:25 p.m. with decision to delay start of spacewalk by one hour) NASA managers Tuesday approved plans for a second spacewalk Wednesday to deal with an unexpected ammonia leak that blocked removal of a faulty coolant system pump aboard the International Space Station during a spacewalk Saturday. If the plan works, the old pump will be removed and a new pump installed and hooked up during a third spacewalk Sunday. Astronauts Douglas Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson planned to spend the night in the station's Quest airlock module at a reduced pressure of 10.2 pounds per square inch to help purge nitrogen from their bloodstreams before the planned 6:55 a.m.

  • JAMES A. MICHENER Has Published More Than 30 Books
    Bowdoin College Commencement 1992 One of America’s leading writers of historical fiction, JAMES A. MICHENER has published more than 30 books. His writing career began with the publication in 1947 of a book of interrelated stories titled Tales of the South Pacific, based upon his experiences in the U.S. Navy where he served on 49 different Pacific islands. The work won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize, and inspired one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, which won its own Pulitzer Prize. Michener’s first book set the course for his career, which would feature works about many cultures with emphasis on the relationships between different peoples and the need to overcome ignorance and prejudice. Random House has published Michener’s works on Japan (Sayonara), Hawaii (Hawaii), Spain (Iberia), Southeast Asia (The Voice of Asia), South Africa (The Covenant) and Poland (Poland), among others. Michener has also written a number of works about the United States, including Centennial, which became a television series, Chesapeake, and Texas. Since 1987, the prolific Michener has written five books, including Alaska and his most recent work, The Novel. His books have been issued in virtually every language in the world. Michener has also been involved in public service, beginning with an unsuccessful 1962 bid for Congress. From 1979 to 1983, he was a member of the Advisory Council to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, an experience which he used to write his 1982 novel Space. Between 1978 and 1987, he served on the committee that advises that U.S.

  • Virgin Galactic at a Glance
    Oct. 17, 2011 Virgin Galactic at a Glance Who: Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceline. Vision: Virgin Galactic will provide space access to paying tourism passengers and scientists for research with a smaller environmental impact, lower cost and greater flexibility than any other spaceflight organization, past or present. Once operational, Virgin Galactic aims to fly 500 people in the first year and 30,000 individuals within 10 years. Suborbital Tourism Experience: Through the Virgin Galactic space experience, passengers will be able to leave their seats for several minutes and float in zero-gravity, while enjoying astounding views of space and the Earth stretching approximately 1,000 miles in every direction. Prior to the flight, passengers will go through three days of preparation, medical checks, bonding and G-force acclimatization, all of which is included in the price of the flight. Science/Research/ Education Experience: Virgin Galactic will also host flights dedicated to science, education and research. The vehicles are being built to carry six customers, or the equivalent scientific research payload. The trip into suborbital space offers a unique microgravity platform for researchers. Owners: Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and Aabar Investments PJS History: The 2004 Ansari X Prize called for private sector innovations in the field of manned space exploration. Specifically, participants had to privately fund, design and manufacture a vehicle that could deliver the weight of three people (including one actual person) to suborbital space (altitude of 100 kms). The vehicle had to be 80 percent reusable and fly twice within a two-week period.

  • Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (SPCE) Putting the Zero in Zero-G
    June 2021 Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. (SPCE) Putting the Zero in Zero-G We are short shares of Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc., often described as the only publicly traded space-tourism company. After going public in October 2019 by way of a merger with a “blank check” company, Virgin Galactic has seen its share price and trading volume soar. It’s become a retail darling, with day traders captivated by images of billionaires donning space suits, blasting off from launchpads, and looking down on the blue marble of Earth. But Virgin Galactic’s $250,000+ commercial “spaceflights” – if they ever actually happen, after some 17 years of delays and disasters – will offer only the palest imitations of these experiences. In lieu of pressurized space suits with helmets – unnecessary since so little time will be spent in the upper atmosphere – the company commissioned Under Armour to provide “high-tech pajamas.” In lieu of vertical takeoff, Virgin’s “spaceship” must cling to the underside of a specialized airplane for the first 45,000 feet up, because its rocket motor is too weak to push through the lower atmosphere on its own. In lieu of the blue-marble vista and life in zero-g, Virgin’s so-called astronauts will at best be able to catch a glimpse of the curvature of Earth and a few minutes of weightlessness before plunging back to ground. This isn’t “tourism,” let alone Virgin’s more grandiose term, “exploration”; it’s closer to a souped- up roller coaster, like the “Drop of Doom” ride at Six Flags.
