  • Parent Memo-26 |
    Dear Parent, Hope you are well, As part of our Science and Technology Week, we are pleased to inform you that we will be hosting special events and activities for all students. One of the highlighted activities is a visit by a special guest speaker, Astronaut Nicole Stott. Nicole Stott is an American engineer and a retired NASA astronaut. She worked for NASA for 27 years in various positions and is one of very few women who conducted a spacewalk. Astronaut Stott served as a Flight Engineer on ISS Expedition 20 and Expedition 21 and was a Mission Specialist on STS-128 and STS-133. Please find attached her biography which denotes her very impressive career as an engineer, astronaut and director of missions. Nicole is the first person to tweet from space, and is an artist who has created several paintings while in space. She represents a perfect example of why we believe art must be integrated into the world of STEM to inspire creativity and innovation.

  • Tim Peake Early Life Timothy Nigel ‘Tim’ Peake Was Born in Chichester, West Sussex, on 7Th April 1972 and Grew up in a Nearby Village
    Tim Peake Early Life Timothy Nigel ‘Tim’ Peake was born in Chichester, West Sussex, on 7th April 1972 and grew up in a nearby village. Tim and his older sister, Fiona, enjoyed a stable upbringing and ordinary family life. Their mother, Angela, worked as a midwife and their father, Nigel, who was a journalist, had always been interested in aircraft. He took Tim to air shows from an early age. This is where Tim’s fascination with flying began. He started at the Chichester High School for Boys in 1983, leaving in 1990 to attend the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Military Career Despite having been interested in stars and the universe as a child, as a career choice Tim followed his passion for flying and trained to be a pilot, resulting in an eighteen-year military career flying all types of helicopters and aircraft. Tim later trained to be an instructor before flying Apache helicopters in Texas with the US army. On his return to the UK, the Apache was being introduced into the British army so Tim helped develop the training programme. Tim left the army in 2009 after completing over 3,000 flying hours to become a test pilot. Training Success In 2008, when the European Space Agency (ESA) announced it was accepting applications for new astronauts, Tim saw the advert online and decided it was too good an opportunity to miss. His application joined 8,000 others! In 2009, following various exams, Tim received a phone call from the ESA offering him a place to train to be an astronaut with the European Astronaut Corps.

  • It's a Day of Farewells for 2 Space Crews 28 July 2009, by MARCIA DUNN , AP Aerospace Writer
    It's a day of farewells for 2 space crews 28 July 2009, By MARCIA DUNN , AP Aerospace Writer In this image from NASA TV Astronaut Tom Marshburn is seen during a spacewalk on the international space station, Monday, July 27, 2009. (AP Photo/NASA TV) (AP) -- They've spent the past one-and-a-half weeks together in space, and now it's time for two teams of astronauts to say goodbye. The hatches between the linked shuttle Endeavour and international space station will be sealed late Tuesday morning. Then early in the afternoon, Endeavour will pull away and its seven astronauts will begin preparing for a landing on Friday. Among those headed home is Japanese spaceman Koichi Wakata, who's been in orbit since March. NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra replaced him aboard the space station. The Endeavour crew is leaving after delivering and installing a new porch and experiments for Japan's lab, and giving the space station some fresh batteries.

  • 2​Nd​ EUROPEAN SPACE GENERATION WORKSHOP REPORT
    2​nd ​ EUROPEAN SPACE GENERATION WORKSHOP REPORT 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Paris—one of the world’s most inspirational cities—offered a memorable stage for the 2nd European Space Generation Workshop (E-SGW) and a truly global platform for high-level discussions and exchanges. The city of light still is a must-see destination that everyone should visit at least once in their lives. The 2nd E-SGW was held on Friday and Saturday 24th and 25th March 2017. The ideal place to debate about space activities and opportunities, selected by the local organising team, is the European Space Agency (ESA) headquarters. In fact, ESA is used to organising wide-reaching events, for example workshops, conferences, councils, and has the adequate facilities to receive such a workshop. And what is a better place than the heart of European space policy to welcome the future space leaders? With the success of the SGAC annual conferences focusing on global deliberations, the need to develop a regional workshop with the primary aim of discussing regional space initiatives and activities has become increasingly important. SGAC therefore launched its regional workshop series, the Space Generation Workshops (SGW). The main goals of the E-SGW are: 1. To strengthen the regional network of the students and young professionals in the European region; 2. To examine and consider key questions in Europe that the regional space community is facing and to provide inputs from the next generation of space professionals; and 3. To allow tomorrow's space sector leaders in the European region to have the opportunity to interact with today's space leaders in the region through cooperation with ESA.
