  • Michael Foale
    NASA-5 Michael Foale | Collision and Recovery | Foale Bio | Needed on Mir | Meanwhile | Collision and Recovery Mike Foale went to Mir full of enthusiasm in spite of the fire and other problems during the NASA-4 increment. He expected hard work, some discomfort, and many challenges; and he hoped to integrate himself fully into the Mir-23 crew. The challenges became enormous when a Progress resupply vehicle accidentally rammed the space station, breaching the Back to Spektr module and causing a dangerous depressurization. The NASA-5 Mir-23 crew worked quickly to save the station; and in the TOC troubled months that followed, Foale set an example of how to face the more dangerous possibilities of spaceflight. Meanwhile on the ground, NASA’s Mir operations were changing, too. In part because of the problems, Foale’s NASA-5 increment catalyzed a broader and deeper partnership with the Russian Space Agency. Mike Foale’s diverse cultural, educational, and family background helped him adapt to his life onboard Mir. Born in England in 1957 to a Royal Air Force pilot father and an American mother, his early childhood included living overseas on Royal Air Force bases. An English boarding school education taught him how to get along with strangers; and, as a youth, he wrote his own plan for the future of spaceflight. At Cambridge University, Foale earned a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a doctorate in astrophysics. But, in the midst of this progress, disaster struck. Foale was driving through Yugoslavia with his fiance and brother when an auto accident took their lives but spared his own.

  • Scott Parazynski 2016 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame Inductee
    Scott Parazynski 2016 U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame Inductee Scott E. Parazynski (M.D.) was selected as a NASA astronaut in March 1992. A veteran of five Space Shuttle flights, Parazynski has logged more than 1,381 hours in space, including more than 47 hours on seven spacewalks. Parazynski first flew in space on Nov. 3, 1994, on board STS-66 Atlantis. The STS-66 Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science-3 (ATLAS-3) mission was part of an on- going program to determine the Earth’s energy balance and atmospheric change over an 11-year solar cycle, particularly with respect to humanity’s impact on global-ozone distribution. The crew successfully evaluated the Interlimb Resistance Device, a free-floating exercise he co- invented to prevent musculoskeletal atrophy in microgravity. As flight engineer of Atlantis, Parazynski returned to space on STS-86, which launched from Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 25, 1997. This was the seventh mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Space Station Mir. Highlights of the mission included the exchange of U.S. crew members Mike Foale and David Wolf and the first shuttle-based joint American-Russian spacewalk. The crew also deployed the Spektr Solar Array Cap, which was designed to be used in a future Mir spacewalk to seal a leak in the Spektr module’s damaged hull. Parazynski’s next flight into space was on Oct. 29, 1998, aboard STS-95, Discovery with Senator John Glenn. During the nine-day mission, the crew supported a variety of research payloads, including the deployment of the Spartan solar-observing spacecraft (in which Parazynski navigated) and the testing of the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    Ensure that the United States continues its commitment to NASA’s programs of record and maintains American leadership in human space exploration, space science, space commerce and technology. 2020 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from Leadership The Coalition for Deep Space Exploration (CDSE) has provided yearly activity reports to our members for the past several years, but this year we are kicking off what will now be our “Annual Report,” highlighting milestones and activities immediately past. This is our inaugural issue. It goes without saying that 2020 was a year to remember, full of challenges, but also full of promise. As with the nation and the world, this was also the case in space. Our national programs in space continue to move full speed ahead. The year saw final testing of the first Orion crew capsule, destined to take humans farther into the solar system than ever before. The Space Launch System (SLS) entered final testing before shipping to NASA Kennedy Space Center, where the Exploration Ground Systems will process and integrate Orion and SLS for their first launch together in late 2021. Meanwhile, the James Webb Space Telescope completed a comprehensive test program with a scheduled launch also in 2021. At the same time, progress continued on the lunar Gateway and the Human Landing Systems, which will enable human presence around and on the Moon. The Mars Perseverance rover is scheduled to land on the Red Planet on February 18. Other NASA science missions span our solar system and beyond, contribute to our knowledge of the universe, the origins of our planet, and ultimately, where we are going as we face the challenges of a changing Earth.

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-127 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.

Alexandrov, Y. Kargopolov) and the American side (Don Puddy, through mid 1995, C. Brown, mid 1995-Present, and T. Capps). The objectives of the group were to determine the duties and responsibilities of cosmonauts and astronauts when completing flights on the Shuttle and Soyuz vehicles and the Mir station, the content of crew training in Russian and in the U.S., and to developing training schedules and programs. The group maintained a fairly standard work process. Periodic meetings were usually held alternating in Russia and in the U.S. Between meetings contact was maintained through the use of teleconferences and faxes. To widen the operational interaction on joint flight training issues, a Johnson Space Center (JSC) office (NASA) was created at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center (GCTC) where an American representative permanently worked. This position, which was called the “Director of Operation, Russia” (DOR) was filled by a representative from the astronaut corps.
