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.

The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 12th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 25-28, 2018, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research.

NASA Warned of Safety Risks in Delayed Private Crew Launches (Update) 14 November 2019, by Marcia Dunn
NASA warned of safety risks in delayed private crew launches (Update) 14 November 2019, by Marcia Dunn The auditors reported, meanwhile, that NASA overpaid Boeing $287.2 million to keep the company moving forward. Most of this overcharge was unnecessary, they said, a point with which NASA disagreed. The report shows, on average, a seat on Boeing's Starliner capsule will cost $90 million, almost double the price of a ride on SpaceX's crew Dragon, at $55 million. That's based on a crew of four flying one or two times a year. In case of further delays by Boeing and SpaceX, NASA is seeking to buy extra seats on Russian rockets in 2020 and 2021, another recommendation This undated photo made available by NASA on Friday, of the auditors. NASA has been paying Russia to Aug. 3, 2018 shows, from left, Sunita Williams, Josh ferry astronauts to the space station since the Cassada, Eric Boe, Nicole Mann, Christopher Ferguson, shuttles stopped flying in 2011; the most recent Douglas Hurley, Robert Behnken, Michael Hopkins and price was about $82 million a seat. Victor Glover standing in front of mockups of Boeing's CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsules SpaceX test-fired the launch escape engines on at the Johnson Space Center in Texas. On Thursday, one of its capsules Wednesday at Cape Canaveral, Nov. 14, 2019, NASA auditors warned the space agency faces "significant safety and technical challenges" that an apparent success. Last April, the same test need to be solved before astronauts fly in private resulted in the destruction of the capsule.

2008 Spaceport News Summary
2008 Spaceport News Summary The 2008 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. 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. Followup From the 2007 Spaceport News Summary The followng is in the December 14, 2007, issue of the Spaceport News. Page 1 There is an article in the 2007 Spaceport News Summary about External Tank repairs to ET-124, flown on STS-117, after it was damaged by hail. Below is a photo in the VAB, showing the extent of some of the damage. A lot of scaffolding had to be installed, some of which is in visible in the photo.
