Thiele participated as Mission Specialist in the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STS-99), which carried out the three- dimensional mapping of most of the Earth’s land surface. Mission- preparation support for STS-100/ MPLM, with ESA Astronaut U. Guidoni, is being provided at Johnson Space Centre (JSC). An agreement with ASI on the co- operation related to this first mission by a European astronaut to the ISS is being prepared. Thomas Reiter received the ‘Space Award 2000’ from the Discovery Channel and the ‘Verein zur Förderung der Raumfahrt’ during the year.

Interview with Thomas Reiter

A month later, Barbara Warmbein asked him about his trip, the experiments he did – and how to become an astronaut. Image courtesy of NASA homas Reiter, German astronaut Tfor the European Space Agency (ESA)w1, is a true veteran of space flight. The 49-year-old father of two boys has spent more hours in space than any other ESA astronaut – almost a year in total, with 179 days on the Russian MIR space station in 1995 and 171 days on the Inter- national Space Station (ISS) in 2006. A few days before Christmas, he returned to Earth, having successfully completed a six-hour spacewalk (or extravehicular activity), collecting data for many European experiments on board the ISS, and helping to pre- pare the station for the arrival of the European module Columbus, due for launch later this year. I spoke to him Thomas Reiter during the spacewalk on 3 August 2006 by telephone at the European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany.

Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Coronavirus (Covid-19) LIVING IN ISOLATION HERE ON EARTH AND AMONG THE STARS LUXEMBOURG, BERLIN, PARIS -- Asteroid Day, the official United Nations’ day of global awareness and education about asteroids and the European Space Agency (ESA) connect Europe and the world with astronauts and celebrities with a message of hope and inspiration. WHEN? Thursday, 26 March; from 16:00 - 21:00 CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME WHERE? SpaceConnects.Us We can also provide you with a broadcast or web signal of the feed. The world is at a historic standstill. Borders are closing and millions of people are quarantined due to the spread of COVID-19. While we fight this battle and defeat the invisible enemy, solidarity and mutual encouragement are more important for us than ever before. We want to send out a message of unity and hope, join forces and give us, especially our children and youngsters, confidence in our intelligence, our science, ourselves and the place we live in. When we asked space agencies and astronauts whether they could help us to learn how to go far and beyond, how to cope with staggering challenges and find mental and physical practices to live in isolation, the answer was overwhelmingly positive. We are launching a virtual global town hall to exchange with them and all those who are fascinated by space and ready to learn from it. The #SPACECONNECTSUS PROGRAM: Remote sessions with astronauts and guests from all over the world who speak to children, young adults and their families and friends about their experience and techniques in confined places and what else space may provide to help, their trust in science and the sources of their inspiration.

Iulie - Septembrie 2006 CURIERUL ROMÂNESC 5 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But in order to do that, the Discovery astronauts and space station crew must first retract one wing of the older solar arrays providing interim electricity to the U.S. segment of the space station. If that goes well commands will be sent to begin slowly rotating the new set of solar arrays installed in September. The space station has relied primarily on a pair of solar arrays attached to its mast-like Port 6 (P6) truss, but the arrangement was always meant to be temporary since that segment must be moved in the future. STS-116 spacewalkers will shift the space station power systems from the P6 arrays to the solar panels on the space station’s recently installed Port 3/Port 4 (P3/P4) truss segments delivered in September. As part of the STS-116 rewiring process, one of the P6 solar arrays must be folded away to allow the newer solar panels to rotate and track the Sun. (3 Feb. 2005) - Astronauts Nicholas J.M.

Minutes of the Annual Meeting of the FAI Astronautic Records Commission held in Lausanne, Switzerland on 27 April 2007 FEDERATION AERONAUTIQUE INTERNATIONALE FAI ASTRONAUTIC RECORDS COMMISSION (ICARE) MINUTES OF A MEETING HELD AT THE FAI HEADQUARTERS 24 AVENUE MON REPOS, 1005 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND ON FRIDAY 27 APRIL 2007, STARTING AT 09h15 MINUTES Present: M. Segismundo SANZ FERNANDEZ de CORDOBA President Mr. Mike COLLINS USA M. Christian MARCHAL France Mr. Ulf MERBOLD Germany Mr. John F MILES United Kingdom Mr Valery KORSUN Russia In attendance : Mr Thierry MONTIGNEAUX FAI Asst. Secretary General Apologies: Mr. Yuri TARASOV Russia Mr. John GRUBBSTROM Sweden 1 WELCOME BY THE PRESIDENT M. Segismundo SANZ FERNANDEZ de CORDOBA welcomed all those attending. 2 APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING The minutes of the previous meeting (21 April 2006) were approved without correction. The following matters arose from those Minutes: Para 6(a) “Gold Space Medal” : Mr. Montigneaux reported that the 2006 FAI General Conference had agreed that both FAI Gold Medals should be of equal status. As a result, the By Law concerning the Gold Space Medal had now been moved from Chapter 12 (awards made by Commissions) to Chapter 11 (awards subject to the approval of Vice Presidents). Mr. Montigneaux pointed out to delegates that a practical implication of this decision was that nominations for the Gold Space Medal would from this year on be submitted directly to FAI Vice Presidents for approval. Although there was no formal requirement for prior screening by ICARE, the views of ICARE would be of special interest to Vice Presidents, and would be passed on by the Secretariat.
