    Expedition 11, Space Tourist Back on Earth 11 October 2005 The Soyuz TMA spacecraft undocked from the station at 5:49 p.m. EDT. Its re-entry was flawless. It brought the three men aboard to a landing about 53 miles northeast of Arkalyk after 179 days and 23 minutes in space for the E11 crew. The recovery team reached the capsule in minutes. Krikalev and Phillips will spend several weeks in Star City, near Moscow, for debriefing and medical examinations. They launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan last April 14. During their increment they performed a spacewalk, continued station maintenance and did scientific experiments. While aboard the station, Krikalev became the world's most experienced spacefarer. On Aug. 16 The Expedition 11 landed back on Earth Monday his cumulative time in space passed the record of at 9:09 p.m. EDT after undocking from the 747 days, 14 hours and 14 minutes set by international space station at 5:49 p.m. EDT.

  • 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.

Bartoe and Thomas Holloway NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, USA The first phase of the International Space Station construction has been completed, and research has begun. Russian, U.S., and Canadian hardware is on orbit, ard Italian logistics modules have visited often. With the delivery of the U.S. Laboratory, Destiny, significant research capability is in place, and dozens of U.S. and Russian experiments have been conducted. Crew members have been on orbit continuously since November 2000. Several "bumps in the road" have occurred along the way, and each has been systematically overcome. Enormous amounts of hardware and software are being developed by the International Space Station partners and participants around the world and are largely on schedule for launch. Significant progress has been made in the testing of completed elements at launch sites in the United States and Kazakhstan. Over 250,000 kg of flight hardware have been delivered to the Kennedy Space Center and integrated testing of several elements wired together has progressed extremely well. Mission control centers are fully functioning in Houston, Moscow, and Canada, and operations centers Darmstadt, Tsukuba, Turino, and Huntsville will be going on line as they are required. Extensive coordination efforts continue among the space agencies of the five partners and two participants, involving 16 nations. All of them continue to face their own challenges and have achieved significant successes.
