In August of 2000, the SLCC Community Writing Center began working with writers from local organizations in two- month writing workshops. Each workshop culminated in a publication and a public reading. At first, this DiverseCity Writing Series worked one-on-one with a variety of organizations: Justice, Economic Independence and Dignity for Women; the Road Home shelter; Liberty Senior Center; and Cancer Wellness House. In the summer of 2003, the DiverseCity Writing Series expanded to offer multiple, on-going writing groups. Volunteers were trained in collaborative writing strategies and became mentors for a variety of open-interest and specialized writing groups. In the fall of 2003, the pieces written in these groups were assembled to create sine cera: People Are Strange, the first DiverseCity Writing Series anthology.

I was selected by the European Space Agency in 2009 as one of six new European astronauts and the first astronaut from Denmark. Since then I have been based at the European Astronaut Center in Cologne, Germany. Currently, I am training for my first spaceflight, “Being a student is an launching on 1 September 2015 with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft opportunity in your life to from Baikonur, Kazakhstan to the International Space Station. gain unique experiences The mission will involve a mixture of science experiments and and Imperial College technology developments. In addition, I will serve as co-pilot on board Soyuz, which means I will be trained to fly and land the offers so much more spacecraft manually. than just an education” - Andreas Mogensen Life as an astronaut is predominantly about training and learning new skills. This includes everything from classroom-based technical training on all the onboard systems to the much more practical training on how to perform a spacewalk or control the robotic arm. And of course there is also Russian language training on top of it. All of this training takes place among the international partners behind the ISS program, which means that I am constantly travelling between NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Star City in Russia, and the European Astronaut Center. The training is intended to teach us new skills, but it doesn’t teach us much about life in space.

It is supported by major space agencies and aerospace organizations from around the world. The graduate level programs offered by ISU are dedicated to promoting international, interdisciplinary and intercultural cooperation in space activities. ISU offers the Master of Science in Space Studies program at its Central Campus in Strasbourg. Since the summer of 1988, ISU conducts the highly acclaimed two-month Space Studies Program at different host institutions in locations spanning the globe and more recently the Southern Hemisphere Space Studies Program. ISU programs are delivered by over 100 ISU faculty members in concert with invited industry and agency experts from institutions around the world. Since its founding, 30 years ago, more than 4800 students from over 109 countries graduated from ISU.

    El Astronauta Jeremy Hansen Presenta Sello Canadabrazo Para Celebrar Los Logros De Canadá En La Robótica, La Ciencia Y La Tecnología

    El astronauta Jeremy Hansen presenta sello Canadabrazo para celebrar los logros de Canadá en la robótica, la ciencia y la tecnología Aproximadamente a las 9 pm EST, el 13 de noviembre de 1981, el Canadabrazo se despliega desde la bahía de carga del transbordador Columbia por primera vez. Esta maravilla de la ingeniería canadiense pesaba menos de 480 kilogramos, y podría levantar más de 30.000 kilogramos - El peso aproximado de un autobús de la ciudad - usando menos energía que un hervidor eléctrico. “El brazo está fuera y funciona muy bien. Sus movimientos son mucho más flexibles que aparecieron durante las simulaciones de entrenamiento “, el astronauta Richard informó verdad para el Control de Misión. Una hora más tarde, como el traslado voló sobre los EE.UU., las primeras imágenes fueron transmitidas al suelo: un gigante brazo doblado en una forma de V invertida, situado por encima de la bahía de carga de la lanzadera, con el Canadá wordmark claramente visible en su lado. Una historia de innovación Canadiense para inspirar a las generaciones futuras Podría decirse logro más famoso robot de Canadá, la primera Canadabrazo fue construido en el año 1974 a través de una colaboración entre Spar, CAE, DSMA Atcon y el Consejo Nacional de Investigación (NRC). Los primeros pasos se produjo en 1969, cuando la NASA vio por primera vez un robot desarrollado por la empresa canadiense DSMA Atcon diseñado para cargar combustible en los reactores nucleares. Una propuesta de un brazo robótico para desplegar y recuperar el hardware de la bodega de carga del transbordador espacial fue redactado poco después.
