GO TO THE KSC PRESS RELEASES HOME PAGE January 8, 1997 KSC Contact: Bruce Buckingham KSC Release No. 3-97 SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION STS-81 LAUNCH COUNTDOWN TO BEGIN JAN. 9 NASA will begin the countdown for launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on the fifth mission to dock with Russia's space station Mir on Jan. 9 at 7 a.m. at the T-43 hour mark. The KSC launch team will conduct the countdown from Firing Room 1 of the Launch Control Center. The countdown includes 26 hours and 27 minutes of built-in hold time leading to the opening of the launch window at about 4:27 a.m. (EST) on Jan. 12. The launch window extends for about 7 minutes. The exact time of launch will be determined about 90 minutes before liftoff based on the location of the Mir space station. In order to accommodate the short window necessary to rendezvous and dock with Mir, some changes have been made to the standard launch countdown. Most significant is the addition of an extra 30 minutes to the normal 10 minute built-in hold at T-9 minutes. Tanking is scheduled to begin at about 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 11. STS-81 is the first Space Shuttle mission of 1997. This will be the 18th flight of the orbiter Atlantis and the 81st flight overall in NASA's Space Shuttle program. Atlantis last flew on the fourth Shuttle/Mir docking flight in September 1996. Atlantis was rolled out of Kennedy Space Center's Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 on Dec. 5 and mated with the external tank and solid rocket boosters in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The Shuttle stack was then transported to Pad 39B on Dec. 10. The vehicle was processed for flight without any significant or unexpected techincal difficulities. However, due to problems experienced with Columbia's airlock hatch actuator on the previous Space Shuttle mission, all six of Atlantis' airlock hatch actuators were removed and recertified for flight. On mission STS-81, Atlantis will carry into orbit a six member crew. Mission Specialist Jerry Linenger will replace John Blaha on the Mir space station. Blaha will return to Earth with the rest of the STS-81 crew. Linenger will remain on Mir until Atlantis again docks with the space station in May. The STS-81 crew are: Commander Michael Baker, Pilot Brent Jett, and Mission Specialists Jeff Wisoff, John Grunsfeld, Marsha Ivins and Jerry Linenger. All members of the STS-81 crew are veteran Shuttle flyers. The crew are scheduled to arrive at KSC at about 10 p.m., Jan. 8. Their activities at KSC prior to launch will include equipment fit checks, medical examinations and opportunities to fly in the Shuttle Training Aircraft.

  • Christa Mcauliffe, Teacher Astronaut
    0106C Christa McAuliffe 10/26/05 10:43 PM Page 40 Christa McAuliffe, Teacher Astronaut S ONE OF her training exercises in becoming the first teacher astronaut, A Christa McAuliffe had to curl up inside a 36-inch-diameter nylon ball. When she was zipped up, she found herself in total darkness. She didn’t know when she’d be let out. Christa wore electrodes and transmitters to see how she would react to being closed in, since on the space shuttle she’d have to share a living space that measured only 10 by 13 feet (the size of her kitchen) with six people, and she and the other astronauts would eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, work, and relax there; it was no place for someone with claustrophobia. Christa thought she would start yelling and try to claw her way out, but she lay back, folded her arms across her stomach, and imagined herself floating in space. As Christa McAuliffe a result, the 15 minutes she spent inside the nylon ball were very peaceful. At the end of the exercise, she asked if she could take the ball home. “When things start to get crazy, I can just set the timer and tell the kids, ‘O.K., Mom’s going into the sphere now.’” Christa, a high-school social studies teacher from New Hampshire, first heard about the teacher astronaut program on the radio while driving with her husband, Steve. The smile that lit Christa’s face told Steve she was interested. “Go for it,” he said. When she put off filling out the Women astronauts stand with the Personal Rescue Enclosure (the rescue ball).

    RASC History Committee Report NC185: Robotic Telescope— Page | 1 Suggested Celestial Targets with Historical Canadian Resonance 2018 September 16 Robotic Telescope—Suggested Celestial Targets with Historical Canadian Resonance ABSTRACT: At the request of the Society’s Robotic Telescope Team, the RASC History Committee has compiled a list of over thirty (30) suggested targets for imaging with the RC Optical System (Ritchey- Chrétien f/9 0.4-metre class, with auxiliary wide-field capabilities), chosen from mainly “deep sky objects Page | 2 which are significant in that they are linked to specific events or people who were noteworthy in the 150 years of Canadian history”. In each numbered section the information is arranged by type of object, with specific targets suggested, the name or names of the astronomers (in bold) the RASC Robotic Telescope image is intended to honour, and references to select relevant supporting literature. The emphasis throughout is on Canadian astronomers (in a generous sense), and RASC connections. NOTE: The nature of Canadian observational astronomy over most of that time changed slowly, but change it did, and the accepted celestial targets, instrumental capabilities, and recording methods are frequently different now than they were in 1868, 1918, or 1968, and those differences can startle those with modern expectations looking for analogues to present/contemporary practice. The following list attempts to balance those expectations, as well as the commemoration of professionals and amateurs from our past. 1. OBJECT: Detail of lunar terminator (any feature). ACKNOWLEDGES: 18th-19th century practical astronomy (astronomy of place & time), the practitioners of which used lunar observation (shooting lunars) to determine longitude.
