CHRIS HADFIELD: Return to Space News in Review – February 2013 – Teacher Resource Guide CHRIS HADFIELD: Return to Space MINDS‐ON ACTIVITY In 1969, a young Chris Hadfield watched a grainy television image of Neil Armstrong stepping off the ladder of the lunar module Eagle onto the Moon’s surface. Seeing this scientific triumph was enough to inspire Hadfield to spend the formative years of his life becoming an astronaut himself. Three trips to space later, Hadfield stands out as one of Canada’s most accomplished astronauts. 1. What inspires you? Have you been inspired to reach your potential by an event or person? 2. How difficult do you think it was for Hadfield to achieve his goal? 3. What kind of dedication and education do you think it takes to become an astronaut? SETTING THE STAGE To say that Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield’s Hello Twitterverse star is on the rise — at a time when he is closer The affable Hadfield has become a household to the stars than anybody on Earth — would be name since taking to space in late 2012. He an understatement. Since rocketing into space reaches out to almost 350 000 people down on and boarding the International Space Station Earth via his Twitter account, providing (ISS) for his most recent voyage in December informative tweets and stunning photographs 2012, Hadfield has recorded a song with the from his perch nearly 400 kilometres above the Barenaked Ladies, virtually dropped the puck at planet’s surface. Actually to call his position a the Toronto Maple Leafs home opener, had a perch is a bit misleading — the ISS orbits Earth lengthy chat with Captain Kirk of Star Trek, and every 90 minutes at a speed of close to 28 000 positioned himself as Canada’s greatest space km/hr. That’s 16 times around the planet a day. ambassador — all this in addition to his daily And there’s Chris Hadfield following his responsibilities as an ISS scientist and crew gruelling astronaut regimen for the ISS space member. Oh, and one other thing, he is program while still finding time to snap a few scheduled to become the first Canadian pictures and tweet his perspectives to curious commander of the ISS in March 2013 (actually space watchers firmly grounded back on the he will be the first commander of the ISS who planet’s surface. isn’t from the United States or Russia).

Who knows what the with the Russian space agency. future holds for this remarkable Canadian once he returns to Earth? Space Experience Hadfield has been in space on two previous occasions. In 1995, he served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis. That To Consider 1. What is Chris Hadfield doing to grab the attention of so many people? 2. What efforts has Hadfield taken to promote his mission? 3. Why do many people think that Hadfield is a born leader who is more than ready to take command of the ISS? 4. Which experiences do you think will help Hadfield when he takes command of the ISS in March 2013? News in Review ∙ CBC Learning ∙ newsinreview.cbclearning.ca 21 FEBRUARY 2013 — CHRIS HADFIELD: RETURN TO SPACE VIDEO REVIEW Pre‐viewing Question Canada became the third nation to venture into space with the launch of the Alouette-1 satellite in 1962. Since then, Canada has pumped billions of dollars into space exploration with the current investment sitting at $2 billion per year.

News in Review ∙ CBC Learning ∙ newsinreview.cbclearning.ca 23 FEBRUARY 2013 — CHRIS HADFIELD: RETURN TO SPACE 15. How does Hadfield plan to keep his fans informed about what is happening on the ISS? Post‐viewing Questions 1. Based on Bob Thirsk’s description of the physical demands of living in space and adjusting to a return to Earth, do you think many people would say NO to a trip to space? 2. Do you think Hadfield’s use of social media is a kind of publicity stunt or do you think it is an important way to promote Canada’s accomplishments in space? News in Review ∙ CBC Learning ∙ newsinreview.cbclearning.ca 24 FEBRUARY 2013 — CHRIS HADFIELD: RETURN TO SPACE ACTIVITY: Singing with the Barenaked Ladies Minds On Chris Hadfield is an accomplished musician as well as an astronaut. He released the first song ever recorded in space (Jewel of the Night) late in 2012 and plans on recording the first album in space at some point over the course of his six months in space. In other words, besides being a gifted astronaut, pilot, and scientist, Hadfield is also a talented musician. Consider this perspective and then read about his collaboration with Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies. Space Jam On February 8, 2013, Ed Robertson and Chris Hadfield premiered a song they co-wrote for Music Monday 2013, a CBC Music initiative designed to promote music education in Canada. Joined by the rest of his Barenaked Ladies band mates and the Wexford Gleeks (a Toronto school choir), Robertson and Hadfield performed their song ISS (Is Someone Singing?). Robertson led the performance in a sound studio on Earth while Hadfield played his guitar and sang his parts from the cupola observation module on the International Space Station (ISS). The song marked the first time a song was performed and recorded on Earth and in space. Your task 1. Watch the performance at: music.cbc.ca/#/blogs/2013/2/Space-jam-watch-the-premiere-of-ISS-Is-Somebody-Singing 2. How impressed were you by the performance? How difficult do you think it was to coordinate Hadfield’s space performance with the Barenaked Ladies/Wexford Gleeks performance on Earth? 3. What did you think of the song? What did you like or not like about the melody and lyrics? Did You Know? While performing in the cupola observation module of the ISS, Hadfield had to anchor himself to part of the station with restraining straps so he wouldn’t float around during his performance. He also performed without a guitar strap because he didn’t have to worry about earth‐strength gravity pulling his guitar to the ground. However, the absence of significant gravitational pull did mean that he had to careful using the frets of his guitar. In microgravity, the hand can easily miss its mark causing the musician to play the wrong notes. Hadfield said he Hadfield’s mission patch is shaped had to make some significant adjustments to learn how to play like a guitar pick, signifying the his guitar in space. importance of music in his life.

  • Kindergarten Space Inquiry
    Kindergarten Space Inquiry Wonder, Explore, Play, Investigate, Create, Represent, & Reflect Learning Through Play “Let’s pretend we are lost in space!” exclaimed an excited Kindergartener to a classmate. “Okay! I am going to be Chris Hadfield.” This was only one of the conversations overheard at the dramatic play space centre during our exciting space inquiry. Play allows children to imagine and act out scenarios, make sense of their world and practice skills and knowledge they have learned. They are also developing their language and social skills. Inquiry in Kindergarten Our Kindergarten program embraces inquiry based learning. Instead of set themes, learning is based on topics of student driven interests. Although this means planning on the go for teachers and very often learning alongside their students, the experience is both engaging, motivating and rewarding. During inquiry a teacher’s job is observing her students, creating invitations for learning based on observations of students’ interests, building student capacity for asking questions and formulating their “I wonder statements”, sustaining the inquiry through guidance of knowledge acquisition and perhaps introducing or assisting in the creation of engaging props for play. The teacher also matches up curricular outcomes, provides students with opportunities to represent their learning in various ways and aides in the reflection process. Inquiry is... “A way of learning that requires active engagement. The learner identifies what he already knows, asks intriguing questions about what he does not know, investigates the answers, constructs new understandings, and shares those understandings with others. Inquiry involves reading, writing, speaking and listening to learn. The entire process is permeated with reflection and critical thinking.

  • Unit 5 Space Exploration
    TOPIC 8 People in Space There are many reasons why all types of technology are developed. In Unit 5, you’ve seen that some technology is developed out of curiosity. Galileo built his telescope because he was curious about the stars and planets. You’ve also learned that some technologies are built to help countries fight an enemy in war. The German V-2 rocket is one example of this. You may have learned in social stud- ies class about the cold war between the United States and the for- mer Soviet Union. There was no fighting with guns or bombs. However, these countries deeply mistrusted each other and became very competitive. They tried to outdo and intimidate each other. This competition thrust these countries into a space race, which was a race to be the first to put satellites and humans into space. Figure 5.57 Space shuttle Atlantis Topic 8 looks at how the desire to go into space drove people to blasts off in 1997 on its way to dock produce technologies that could make space travel a reality. with the Soviet space station Mir. Breaking Free of Earth’s Gravity Although space is only a hundred or so kilometres “up there,” it takes a huge amount of energy to go up and stay up there. The problem is gravity. Imagine throwing a ball as high as you can. Now imagine how hard it would be to throw the ball twice as high or to throw a ball twice as heavy. Gravity always pulls the ball back to Earth.

  • NASA's Analog Missions
    Executive Summary HMP Today NASA pursues technical innovations and scientific discoveries to advance human exploration of space. PLRP To prepare for these complex missions, a vast amount of planning, testing, and technology development must be DRATS accomplished. Yet, forecasting how that planning will translate into everyday operations in space is difficult while NEEMO ISRU still on Earth. To help prepare for the real-life challenges of space exploration, NASA relies on Earth-based missions that are similar, or analogous, to space. These are called analog missions—field activities set in remote locations with extreme characteristics that resemble the challenges of a space mission. NASA conducts these missions in extreme environments around the globe to test technologies and systems and to help guide the future direction of human exploration of the solar system. This report profiles NASA’s active analog missions, with highlights and successes Habitat from the last few years: Desert Research and Technology Studies (Desert RATS) ........................................................................................... Page 6 This mission tests roving and extravehicular activity (EVA) operations in an environment that, like the Moon and Mars, features extreme temperatures and difficult terrain. The Desert RATS program conducts an annual three-week exploration mission at Black Point Lava Flow, Arizona, investigating the most effective combination of rovers, habitats, and robotic systems; optimum crew size; effects of communication delays; effectiveness of autonomous operations; and how to improve science return for exploration missions. NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) ....................................................................................... Page 18 The NEEMO analog mission uses the world’s only operating undersea laboratory, Aquarius, which is located 62 feet underwater off Key Largo Florida, to mimic the isolation, constrained habitats, harsh environments, and reduced gravity that challenge space exploration missions.

This paper focuses on the milestones reached and various activities that have occurred in the past twelve months. The MSS is keeping pace with the steady flow of free flying cargo vehicles requiring capture and berthing by Canadarm2. In addition to the free flyer traffic, the MSS also continues to support ISS utilization and robotic maintenance. Of note, this year saw replacement of the second and third sets of ISS batteries. Six years after the launch of Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, this year saw CSA's third long duration space mission with Dr. David Saint-Jacques' launch in December for an almost seven-month stay aboard the orbiting laboratory. Back in Houston, CSA's two newest astronauts completed their Basic Training, making them assignable to space missions.

    What lies beneath: our love affair with living underwater An artisit’s impression of life on Conshelf III. Illustration: Davis Meltzer/National Geographic How the 1960s craze for oceanic exploration changed our relationship with the planet by Chris Michael Seascape: the state of our oceans is supported by About this content Mon 8 Jun 2020 08.00 BSTLast modified on Mon 8 Jun 2020 10.35 BST • • • Shares 124 In November 1966, the Gemini 12 spacecraft, carrying two astronauts, splashed down in the Pacific. The four-day mission was a triumph, proving that humans could work in outer space, and even step into the great unknown, albeit tethered to their spacecraft. It catapulted the US ahead of the USSR in the space race. From then, Nasa’s goal was to beat the Russians to the moon. That meant weeks rather than days in space, in an isolated, claustrophobic environment. There was one perfect way to prepare humans for these conditions: going underwater. The world was gripped. If we could land people on the moon, why not colonise the ocean as well? Nasa scientists were not the first to dream of marine living. Evidence of submarines and diving bells can be found as far back as the 16th century. The literary grandfather of all things deep, Jules Verne, popularised the idea of a more sophisticated underwater life with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1872, but it was in the 20th century that the fascination really took hold. In the 1930s, American naturalist William Beebe and engineer Otis Barton collaborated on experimental submersibles called bathyspheres which set records for deep diving and opened up the underwater realm of plants and animals to science.
