These limitations will require crews to operate with greater autonomy 20 June 2013 than any past space mission has demonstrated. The Antarctic Search for Meteorites Accepted 4 August 2013 (ANSMET) project, which regularly sends small teams of researchers to remote parts of the Available online 12 August 2013 southern continent, resembles a space mission in many ways but does not rely upon a control center. It provides a useful crew autonomy model for planners of future deep space exploration missions. In contrast to current space missions, ANSMET gives the crew Keywords: Human space flight the authority to adjust competing work priorities, task assignments, and daily schedules; Crew autonomy allows the crew to be the primary monitor of mission progress; demands greater crew Human exploration accountability for operational errors; requires the crew to make the most of limited Deep space exploration communication bandwidth; adopts systems designed for simple operation and failure Space flight analog recovery; and grants the crew a leading role in the selection and stowage of their Antarctica equipment.

  • Parent Memo-26 |
    Dear Parent, Hope you are well, As part of our Science and Technology Week, we are pleased to inform you that we will be hosting special events and activities for all students. One of the highlighted activities is a visit by a special guest speaker, Astronaut Nicole Stott. Nicole Stott is an American engineer and a retired NASA astronaut. She worked for NASA for 27 years in various positions and is one of very few women who conducted a spacewalk. Astronaut Stott served as a Flight Engineer on ISS Expedition 20 and Expedition 21 and was a Mission Specialist on STS-128 and STS-133. Please find attached her biography which denotes her very impressive career as an engineer, astronaut and director of missions. Nicole is the first person to tweet from space, and is an artist who has created several paintings while in space. She represents a perfect example of why we believe art must be integrated into the world of STEM to inspire creativity and innovation. This celebrated astronaut will be interacting with all of our students virtually starting May 3rd until May 6th 2020. Please find below the scheduled visits: Grade Date / Time Grades 5 and 6 Sunday, May 3rd at 1:00 p.m. Grades 7 and 8 Monday, May 4th at 1:00 p.m. Grades 9 and 10 Tuesday, May 5th at 1:00 p.m. Grades 11 and 12 Wednesday, May 6th at 1:00 p.m. Zoom Meeting IDs will be emailed to all students the night before. Each class will submit questions to the teachers beforehand and 6 of the best questions will be asked in the session to be answered by Astronaut Stott.

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). More photos of the ISS are featured on the first pages of each chapter.

  • 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.
