    A SpacePolicyOnline.Com Hearing Summary Confirmation of Charles Bolden and Lori Garver to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator of NASA Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee July 8, 2009 Chair: Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) Ranking Member: Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) Witnesses Maj. Gen. Charles Bolden (USMC, Ret.), nominee for Administrator (prepared statement) Ms. Lori Garver, nominee for Deputy Administrator (prepared statement) Background NASA has had an Acting Administrator, Christopher Scolese, since the resignation of Michael Griffin on January 20, 2009 with the change in administrations. The Deputy Administrator position has been vacant since January also, when Shana Dale resigned. Gen. Bolden and Ms. Garver were nominated by President Obama to be Administrator and Deputy Administrator on May 23, 2009. Gen. Bolden is a former NASA astronaut who flew on a space shuttle mission with now-Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) who was a congressman from Florida at the time. Ms. Garver has a broad background in space – from representing grass roots space enthusiasts as executive director of the National Space Society, to serving at NASA at Associate Administrator for Policy during the tenure of Administrator Dan Goldin, to representing private sector space efforts as a consultant for the past eight years. She competed with singer Lance Bass to become a “space tourist” on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in the early 2000’s, but neither was able to raise the requisite funding. She was a key adviser to the Hillary Clinton campaign on space issues, and moved to the Obama campaign after he won the Democratic nomination. A webcast of the hearing is available here.

  • Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Mission Press Kit, Part 2
    -lOl- The ascent stage engine compartment is formed by two beams running across the lower midsection deck and mated to the fore and aft bulkheads. Systems located in the midsection include the LM guidance computer, the power and servo assembly, ascent engine propellant tanks, RCS pro- pellant tanks, the environmental control system, and the waste management section. A tunnel ring atop the ascent stage meshes with the command module docking latch assemblies. During docking, the CM docking ring and latches are aligned by the LM drogue and the CSM probe. The dockingtunnel extends downward into the midsection 16 inches (40 cm). The tunnel is B2 inches (0.81 cm) in dia- meter and Is used for crew transfer between the CSM and LM. The upper hatch on the inboard end of the docking tunnel hinges downward and cannot be opened with the LM pressurized and u_docked. A thermal and mlcrometeoroid shield of multiple layers of mylar and a single thickness of thin aluminum skin encases the entire ascent stage structure. Descent Stase The descent stage consists of a cruciform load-carrylng structure of two pairs of parallel beams, upper and lower decks, and enclosure bulkheads -- all of conventional skln-and-strlnger aluminum alloy construction. The center compartment houses the descent engine, and descent propellant tanks are housed in the four square bays around the engine. The descent stage measures i0 feet 7 inches high by 14 feet 1 inch in diameter. Four-legged truss outriggers mounted on the ends of each pair of beams serve as SLA attach points and as "knees" for the landing gear main struts.

  • NASA and Planetary Exploration
    **EU5 Chap 2(263-300) 2/20/03 1:16 PM Page 263 Chapter Two NASA and Planetary Exploration by Amy Paige Snyder Prelude to NASA’s Planetary Exploration Program Four and a half billion years ago, a rotating cloud of gaseous and dusty material on the fringes of the Milky Way galaxy flattened into a disk, forming a star from the inner- most matter. Collisions among dust particles orbiting the newly-formed star, which humans call the Sun, formed kilometer-sized bodies called planetesimals which in turn aggregated to form the present-day planets.1 On the third planet from the Sun, several billions of years of evolution gave rise to a species of living beings equipped with the intel- lectual capacity to speculate about the nature of the heavens above them. Long before the era of interplanetary travel using robotic spacecraft, Greeks observing the night skies with their eyes alone noticed that five objects above failed to move with the other pinpoints of light, and thus named them planets, for “wan- derers.”2 For the next six thousand years, humans living in regions of the Mediterranean and Europe strove to make sense of the physical characteristics of the enigmatic planets.3 Building on the work of the Babylonians, Chaldeans, and Hellenistic Greeks who had developed mathematical methods to predict planetary motion, Claudius Ptolemy of Alexandria put forth a theory in the second century A.D. that the planets moved in small circles, or epicycles, around a larger circle centered on Earth.4 Only partially explaining the planets’ motions, this theory dominated until Nicolaus Copernicus of present-day Poland became dissatisfied with the inadequacies of epicycle theory in the mid-sixteenth century; a more logical explanation of the observed motions, he found, was to consider the Sun the pivot of planetary orbits.5 1.
