    Kazakhstan blocks Russian satellite launches: reports 28 May 2012 Kommersant. The launches that are set to be shelved or already postponed are the launch of European meterorological satellite MetOp-B that had been due May 23, the launch of Belarussian, Canadian, German and two Russian satellites on June 7 and the launch of Russian satellite Resurs-P in August. It is not clear how and when the seven satellites will now be launched. There is no suggestion however that the dispute Russian police officers guard the Soyuz TMA-22 rocket will affect manned launches from Baikonur which of the International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 30 also use a Soyuz rocket but whose debris usually during its transportation to a launch pad in the Russian- leased Kazakh Baikonur cosmodrome in 2011. falls in a different zone. Kazakhstan, which hosts Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome, is blocking three upcoming Russian Kommersant said one possible reason for the satellite launches because of a dispute over the drop dispute is Russia's building of a new cosmodrome zone for rocket debris. Vostochny in its own Far East territory which when completed will provide an alternative launch site to Baikonur. Kazakhstan, which hosts Russia's Baikonur It said Kazakhstan fears that the new cosmodrome cosmodrome, is blocking three upcoming Russian will encourage Russia to break the lease satellite launches because of a dispute over the agreement on Baikonur, which is due to last until drop zone for rocket debris, reports said on 2050 and sees Moscow pay Astana almost $115 Monday. million in rent annually.

    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.
