Roundup LYNDON B National Aeronautics and Space Administration Roundup LYNDON B. JOHNSON SPACE CENTER Winter | 2014 JSC 2.0.13: A LOOK BACK JSC Director In this edition… I’D LIKE TO START OFF 2014 by relating a couple of JSC 2.0 stories. The 3 ISS Science Corner first one involves the External Relations Office taking a fresh look at how 4 Orion sets the stage in 2013 they communicate about the International Space Station on NASA TV. They for Exploration Flight Test-1 determined they could more effectively and efficiently communicate by morphing the daily one-hour show called “Space Station Live” into a daily half- 6 Milestones hour show, primarily aimed at media representatives who follow NASA closely 8 2013 Social Media Spotlight and are interested in details, plus a weekly two-minute video called “Space to 10 NASA’s ‘what’s next’ team Ground” designed for the general public. The snappy “Space to Ground” has the advantage that it can be easily used in a variety of venues, including the 12 NASA hails success of NASA home page, outreach events, airport kiosks, museums/science centers, commercial space program, traveling exhibits and various social media. The changes allow us to reach plans readied for astronauts more people, produce products better suited to two different audiences and overall make better use of our resources. We’re getting good feedback on the PHOTO changes, but one of the first responses came in an email from a woman who NASA/ said her 79-year-old mother, who is a big NASA fan and avid watcher of NASA TV, was very disappointed that her 60-minute show had been cut in half! While I don’t like disappointing anyone (and I’ve sent a signed photo to the mom in a gesture of goodwill), it’s actually a nice reminder that there are people everywhere who are inspired by what we do and really want to hear all about it. The second story comes from the Chief Financial Office/LA, which held a JSC 2.0-themed holiday door- decorating contest. One of the doors featured elves representing each team member—each one of them standing on their “letter to Santa.” The letters were actually brief descriptions of an innovation that the team member had personally done. I really appreciated that this group understands that for JSC 2.0 to be successful, every person needs to take action. It was powerful to see a collection of actions, illustrating that there are many different ways to contribute—and that one idea can be a catalyst for others. I’m passionate about JSC 2.0 because I’m passionate about its purpose: to advance human spaceflight by being lean, agile, responsive and adaptive to change. Only by doing that will we be able to make future exploration missions, leading to a mission to Mars, possible—and possible not just because we solve the many exciting technical and operational challenges, but because we've figured out how to do it in a way that fits a budget that both the administration and Congress are willing to provide, makes the best use of every person we have, leads to smart decisions about roles for commercial and international partners and engages the public.

The Flame Extinguishing Experiment investigations revealed “cool flames” that burned at a relatively low temperature (around 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit) for at least a minute after being extinguished. Observations of the temperature and shape of flames from burning gases in microgravity may help improve fuel efficiency and reduce pollutant emissions in practical combustion on Earth. Number five is the pathway for bacterial pathogens to become virulent. Researchers identified the genetic pathway activating in Salmonella bacteria, allowing an increased likelihood to spread in microgravity. This led to new studies of microbial vaccine development on the space station.

  • NASA Customer Service Plan 10-20-2011
    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Customer Service Plan October 20, 2011 NASA Customer Service Plan – 2011 Executive Summary The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a long tradition of enabling professionals, interested amateurs, educators, students, and the general public to actively participate in its missions of research and development, science, discovery, and human exploration. The goal of such public engagement is to provide opportunities for active involvement of individuals in the experience of, as contributors to, and collaborators in, NASA’s research, science, and discovery activities. These opportunities deepen the public’s understanding, appreciation, and ownership in NASA Mission. In turn, these opportunities tap into the nation’s creativity and capabilities. The spectrum of activities ranges from passive receipt of routine information, to citizens using their computers to help collect satellite data for programs, to direct hands-on activities such as students building and operating experiments and/or flight hardware, to citizen scientists collaborating on interpretation of data and discoveries. The Agency is uniquely positioned to introduce a broader community to the benefits of aeronautics and space research and development. The emergence of new communication technologies, computer and mobile applications, high definition imagery, social media, and an emphasis on greater transparency in government activities provides NASA a new environment for increasing engagement opportunities.

  • Social Impact ~
    SECTION V SOCIAL IMPACT ~ Satellites and Security: Space in Service to Humanity 387 CHAPTER 20 Space History from the Bottom Up: Using Social History To Interpret the Societal Impact of Spaceflight Glen Asner he methods and concerns of social history, or what is often referred to as The T“new Social History,” came to dominate the study of U.S. history during the 960s and 970s.To this day, practitioners in the field continue to shape the history curricula at major universities and the content of leading professional journals. Despite the popularity of social history,it has had almost no influence on the practice of space history. Social historians have ignored spaceflight as a topic of study and space historians have looked infrequently to social history for ideas and inspiration. Perhaps the reason for this divide rests on how each field addresses a fundamental methodological question, namely: What activities, events, and individuals are worthy of inclusion in the historical record? Whereas social historians see matters of historical importance in the lives and experiences of ordinary people, space historians,following a tradition established by nineteenth-century Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle, tend to look to the other end of the social ladder for material and inspiration—to the actions and accomplishments of cultural elites.2 Although ordinary people remain bit players in space history, the field has not been a staid backwater of historical analysis. With the emergence in the past two decades of what former NASA chief historian Roger Launius has labeled the . The description of the field as “new” is to distinguish it from an older body of social history, often derided as “pots and pans history,” that chronicled domestic practices and local cultural life without paying attention to larger socioeconomic issues, such as the influence of race and gender on the organization of work and social life.

It is expected to land on the Red Planet on Nov. 26, 2018. InSight is a mission to Mars, but it is more than a Mars mission. It will help scientists understand the formation and early evolution of all rocky planets, including Earth. A technology demonstration called Mars Cube One (MarCO) will share the launch with InSight and fly separately to Mars. Six Ways InSight Is Different NASA has a long and successful track record at Mars. Since 1965, it has flown by, orbited, landed and roved across the surface of the Red Planet. None of that has been easy. Only about 40 percent of the missions ever sent to Mars by any space agency have been successful. The planet’s thin atmosphere makes landing a challenge; its extreme temperature swings make it difficult to operate on the surface. But if a spacecraft survives the trip, there’s a bounty of science to be collected.

  • Issue 130, August 2012
    Curiosity Gets the Better of Mars In the early morning hours of August 6 (PST), a large robot the size of a small car landed on Mars. The landing of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) was remarkable for several reasons. The complex and unique landing system —which worked beautifully — gave engineers and managers cold sweats as they imagined everything that could potentially go wrong. After all, Mars has had a reputation for eating robots on a regular basis since 1961, including an ill-fated Russian attempt late last year to land on the Mars moon Phobos. The joy (and relief) that greeted touchdown was palpable. The mission and landing represented an investment of $2.5 billion and many, many manhours of effort. It was indeed an accomplishment to be proud of. A major and perhaps unexpected L effect of the landing was the degree to which the public became involved. Hundreds of thousands of people followed the live streams on NASA TV as engineers monitored the landing, calling out each milestone. When thousands more gathered at public venues to watch the event live — including Times Square in New York City — it was evident that the drama of landing had captured the fascination of PCrowds watch The Toshiba Vision screen in Times Square during the the public. Although the rover landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars.

The sight of the wheeled vehicle driving across Mars is something to which we can all relate on some level.

  • Soyuz Spacecraft Blasts Off for International Space Station
    Beat: Technology Soyuz spacecraft blasts off for International Space Station -, 29.05.2013, 04:41 Time USPA News - A Russian Soyuz spacecraft launched from a facility in the desert steppe of Kazakhstan on early Wednesday morning to carry three new members of Expedition 36 to the International Space Station (ISS). They will join three other astronauts who arrived earlier this year. The Soyuz TMA-09M blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 2:31 a.m. local time on Wednesday, or 2031GMT on Tuesday. The spacecraft orbited the Earth four times before it docked at the station at 8:10 a.m. Kazakshtan time or 0210GMT on Wednesday, less than six hours after launch. The spacecraft was carrying American NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency. They will join NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Pavel Vinogradov who arrived at the orbiting laboratory in March. The six crew members will comprise Expedition 36 for the next several months, and the crew is expecting an especially busy schedule this summer. The group will welcome the arrival of the European Automated Transfer Vehicle-4 cargo spacecraft in June, followed at the end of the month by a spacewalk by Yurchikhin and Misurkin. Cassidy and Parmitano will perform two spacewalks in July, followed soon afterward by the arrival of a Russian cargo ship. A Japanese HTV cargo spacecraft will also deliver supplies to the space station later this summer, followed by two more spacewalks by Yurchikhin and Misurkin.
