Check when you register. The successful completion of Orbital's first Cygnus mission to the International Space Station (ISS) marks the beginning of an era of competitive commercial cargo delivery to low earth orbit. Mr. Richards will review the Cygnus spacecraft, the Antares launch vehicle, and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport and discuss the multiple relationships among these projects and how they came together to create a new launch site, a new launch vehicle, and a highly capable spacecraft. Mr. Richards is responsible for Orbital’s Human Spaceflight business development activities. This work extends the ISS Cargo Resupply Services already under contract to NASA including Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) and Commercial Resupply Services (CRS). The COTS/CRS program involves full-scale development and flight demonstration of a commercial cargo delivery system for the ISS, and will complement Russian, European, and Japanese vehicles. Orbital’s COTS solution includes the Antares medium-class launch vehicle, the Cygnus cargo delivery spacecraft, and mission operations. Previously, Mr. Richards managed successful launches of 39 Pegasus missions and 7 Taurus missions. These vehicles continue to provide commercial low cost launch of small science satellites for NASA. He is an Associate Fellow of the AIAA, an Academician of the IAA, and has received the National Medal of Technology, and the National Air and Space Museum Trophy for technical achievement as part of the Pegasus Development team.

  • 2009 Spaceport News Summary
    2009 Spaceport News Summary The 2009 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. The “Spaceport News” portion picked up a bolder look, starting with the July 24, 2009, issue. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article.

Baker III Institute for Public Policy • Rice University About the Event International Space Medicine Summit 2011 The International Space Medicine Summit 2011 (ISMS 2011) will bring together leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts, educators and space agency representatives from spacefaring nations for high-level discussions about research to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges of long-duration spaceflight. As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflights, ISMS 2011 seeks to stimulate and facilitate multinational collaborations that maximize research on the International Space Station to ensure the well-being of astronauts and cosmonauts on low-Earth orbit missions, as well as future expeditions beyond the Earth’s gravitational force. ISMS 2011 will build upon the success of the four previous summits by focusing on the identification of critical research priorities for the space station and by creating the operational agreements needed to establish successful, fully integrated, multinational research and exploration partnerships for the benefit of spacefarers and all of humanity. ISMS 2011 is committed to facilitating increased communication and cooperation among nations. Sharing and applying the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog environments, and implementing the resulting advances in technology and human knowledge, will protect future space travelers and enhance life on Earth. Organizing Partners James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University The mission of the Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

  • ISS Systems Engineering Case Study
    International Space Station Systems Engineering Case Study Dr. Bill Stockman InternationalJoe SpaceBoyle Station Systems EngineeringDr. John Bacon Case Study Air Force Center for Systems Engineering Approved for Public Release; Distribution Unlimited The views expressed in this Case Study are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the official policy or position of NASA, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the United States Government. FOREWORD One of the objectives of the Air Force Center for Systems Engineering (AFCSE) is to develop case studies focusing on the application of systems engineering principles within various aerospace programs. The intent of these case studies is to examine a broad spectrum of program types and a variety of learning principles using the Friedman-Sage Framework to guide overall analysis. In addition to this case, the following studies are available at the AFCSE website. ■ Global Positioning System (space system) ■ Hubble Telescope (space system) ■ Theater Battle Management Core System (complex software development) ■ F-111 Fighter (joint program with significant involvement by the Office of the Secretary of Defense) ■ C-5 Cargo Airlifter (very large, complex aircraft) ■ A-10 Warthog (ground attack) ■ Global Hawk ■ KC-135 Simulator These cases support practitioners of systems engineering and are also used in the academic instruction in systems engineering within military service academies and at both civilian and military graduate schools. Each of the case studies comprises elements of success as well as examples of systems engineering decisions that, in hindsight, were not optimal. Both types of examples are useful for learning. Plans exist for future case studies focusing on various space systems, additional aircraft programs, munitions programs, joint service programs, logistics-led programs, science and technology/laboratory efforts, and a variety of commercial systems.
