  • 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 So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters.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.

Why should you invest the considerable time and effort needed to understand the basics of planet and satellite Wmotion, rocket propulsion, and spacecraft design—this vast area of knowledge we call astronautics? The reasons are both poetic and practical. The poetic reasons are embodied in the quotation at the beginning of this chapter. Trying to understand the mysterious beauty of the universe, “to boldly go where no one has gone before,” has always been a fundamental human urge. Gazing into the sky on a starry night, you can share an experi- ence common to the entire history of humankind. As you ponder the fuzzy expanse of the Milky Way and the brighter shine and odd motion of the planets, you can almost feel a bond with ancient shepherds who looked at the same sky and pondered the same questions thousands of years ago. The changing yet predictable face of the night sky has always inspired our imagination and caused us to ask questions about something greater than ourselves. This quest for an understanding of space has ultimately given us greater control over our destiny on Earth.

Per.mil #30 X-rated film is cleared by SAFC By John Marini The Student Activity Fee Council (SAFC) voted six to five yesterday with one abstention to allow MUSO to show the X-rated.film, "Emmanuelle" on March 1. The Student Senate Judiciary · Committee will decide today whether the entire Senate will discuss the film. The Senate recently ordered SAFC to re-evaluate their previous approval of an X-rated film. "They may decide the Senate doesn't have the right to reconsider," Student Body President Bob Coates said of the Judiciary Committee, "in which case ••Emmanuelle" will definitely be shown." Senator Jon Cohen abstained on the vote which would have created a deadlock. In that case, SAFC Chairperson Sara Jane Horton would have cast a vote. ''I was all ready biased in favor of the film," Cohen said, adding that he felt it was MUSO's responsibility to convince SAFC the proposed film was not pornographic. According to Coates, the main issue is the money which would pay for the film. "If MUSO was getting this money from Larry Flint, the Student Senate would have nothing to do with it. The money is coming from the students and what we feel the majority of students want done with their money is what we'll try to do." · Student Activity Fee· Council· members voted yesterday 6-5 in favor of MUSO's proposed X-rated film.

Kennedy Space Center STS-104 to deliver airlock The 6.5-ton, U.S.-made Joint Airlock Module will be delivered to the International Space Station (ISS) by the Space Shuttle Mission STS- 104 crew. The Station’s new robotic arm will be used with the Shuttle’s robotic arm to attach the airlock to the Station. The module will enable astronauts to perform spacewalks without the presence of a Space Shuttle. At press time, STS-104 was targeted for launch aboard Atlantis no earlier than July 2. The International Space Station Program was evaluating a problem with the Station’s new robot arm, a glitch with one of the crane’s joints. The mission to follow STS-104, STS-105 aboard Discovery, was delayed until no earlier than Aug. 5 to accommodate the airlock mission delay and to allow managers to consider a replacement of the shoulder joint during STS- 105. No final decision on replacing the joint had yet been made at press time. During STS-104’s scheduled 11-day mission, the crew of Atlantis will connect the airlock to the starboard side of Node 1, Unity. The STS-104 crew look over equipment at the Space Station Processing Facility as part of Crew Equipment Interface Test activities. Starting second from left are Mission Specialists James Reilly (See STS-104, Page 3) and Janet Kavandi, Pilot Charles Hobaugh, Commander Steven Lindsey and Mission Specialist Michael Gernhardt.
