  • 2008 Spaceport News Summary
    2008 Spaceport News Summary The 2008 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. 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 Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020.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. Followup From the 2007 Spaceport News Summary The followng is in the December 14, 2007, issue of the Spaceport News. Page 1 There is an article in the 2007 Spaceport News Summary about External Tank repairs to ET-124, flown on STS-117, after it was damaged by hail. Below is a photo in the VAB, showing the extent of some of the damage. A lot of scaffolding had to be installed, some of which is in visible in the photo.

The Space4Women project has brought together a network of inspirational space leaders worldwide, committed to making the sector more inclusive by supporting young people in pursuing their ambitions in the space industry. At UNOOSA, we are particularly proud of this project as it provides resources and inspiration to both young women and men, in order to envision and build a different, more inclusive space sector and society for the future.” SIMONETTA DI PIPPO, “DIRECTOR, UNITED NATIONS OFFICE FOR OUTER SPACE AFFAIRS 1 Why do we need Space4Women? Women represent only 35 per cent of all students enrolled in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-related higher education, and only 20–22 per cent of the workforce in the space industry.

CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available. Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 05/28/08 Initial STS-124 release Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-124 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

  • CHRONOLOGY of WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013
    CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013 The idea for the Wakeup Call chronology arose as a result of my dual interests in the history of music and the space program. I discovered as soon as I began working as an archivist at the NASA History Office that there was no complete list of these calls sent from Mission Control. There have always been inquiries about flown items and mission events as we all know, and those about wakeup calls and music played in space encompassed a steady stream (no pun intended)! And NASA’s Web pages did provide audio for these calls beginning with STS-85 with the note that: “Wakeup calls are a longstanding tradition of the NASA program” -- yet nothing on when it started. One of the most frequent inquiries was and still is – What was the first wakeup call? (I later learned that it was “Hello Dolly” sent during Gemini 6). So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters. The Space Shuttle portion of the Chronology proved to be the most challenging since the Johnson Space Center Audio Control Room Recorder Log began with STS-80. In 2005, I was able to visit JSC Public Affairs and make copies from their query books to fill in the gap. Still there were Space Shuttle wakeup calls, even entire missions, that remained elusive. The other sources that I used are listed at the end of this PDF.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration Off t Ert, Fr t Ert A message from the Program Manager for the International Space Station As we reflect on the first 15 years of the International Space Station (ISS), we have achieved much in advancing human knowledge through research, enabling the first steps in commercialization of space, fostering peaceful international cooperation and enabling exploration beyond low earth orbit. e ISS has served as a unique microgravity laboratory to perform over 1600 experiments from researchers in over 80 countries. ese experiments are making discoveries that provide direct benefits to people on Earth and to expand our knowledge to enable humans to work, live and explore further into our solar system than ever before. To kindle the spirit of human exploration, we must invest in our future through education and educators. At every level and across every discipline, teachers inspire and prepare the next generation of tomorrow’s leaders and explorers to shape the course of humankind. I hope you enjoy this calendar featuring highlights over 15 years of human presence onboard the space station. I also hope it will inspire you and your students to learn more about the ISS and its contribution to humanity and what can be accomplished through peaceful global collaboration.
