  • 2009 Spaceport News Summary
    2009 Spaceport News Summary The 2009 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. The “Spaceport News” portion picked up a bolder look, starting with the July 24, 2009, issue. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article.

Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University About the Event International Space Medicine Summit 2011 The International Space Medicine Summit 2011 (ISMS 2011) will bring together leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts, educators and space agency representatives from spacefaring nations for high-level discussions about research to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflights, ISMS 2011 seeks to stimulate and facilitate multinational collaborations that maximize research on the International Space Station to ensure the well-being of astronauts and cosmonauts on low-Earth orbit missions, as well as future expeditions beyond the Earth’s gravitational force. ISMS 2011 will build upon the success of the four previous summits by focusing on the identification of critical research priorities for the space station and by creating the operational agreements needed to establish successful, fully integrated, multinational research and exploration partnerships for the benefit of spacefarers and all of humanity. ISMS 2011 is committed to facilitating increased communication and cooperation among nations. Sharing and applying the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog environments, and implementing the resulting advances in technology and human knowledge, will protect future space travelers and enhance life on Earth. Organizing Partners James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University The mission of the Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.
