Harwood CBS News Space Analyst [email protected] CBS News 5/10/09 Page 2 CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available. Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 08/03/08 Initial STS-125 release 04/11/09 Updating to reflect may 12 launch; revised flight plan 04/15/09 Adding EVA breakdown; walkthrough 04/23/09 Updating for 5/11 launch target date 04/30/09 Adding STS-400 details from FRR briefing 05/04/09 Adding trajectory data; abort boundaries; STS-400 launch windows Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. -

Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Motor Plume Pressure and Heat Rate Measurements

Because the SRB plume is hot and erosive, a robust Tungsten Piston Calorimeter was developed to compliment measurements made by off-the- shelf sensors. Witness materials were installed and their melting and erosion response to the Mach 2 / 4000°F / 4-second duration plume was observed. The data show that the specification used for the design of the MFD thermal protection system over-predicts heat rates by a factor of 3 and under-predicts pressures by a factor of 2. These findings will be used to baseline NASA Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models and develop innovative MFD designs for the Space Launch System (SLS) before this vehicle becomes operational in 2017.

Remote ID NPRM Maps out UAS Airspace Integration Plans by Charles Alcock
PUBLICATIONS Vol.49 | No.2 $9.00 FEBRUARY 2020 | ainonline.com « Joby Aviation’s S4 eVTOL aircraft took a leap forward in the race to launch commercial service with a January 15 announcement of $590 million in new investment from a group led by Japanese car maker Toyota. Joby says it will have the piloted S4 flying as part of the Uber Air air taxi network in early adopter cities before the end of 2023, but it will surely take far longer to get clearance for autonomous eVTOL operations.

Another NASA astronaut - Mike Fincke - was on the space station when his second child, also a girl, was born in 2004.
