Jeff Williams new NASA record holder for cumulative days in space 25 August 2016 In this photograph taken on June 30, 2016, Williams monitors bowling ball-sized internal satellites known as SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites) during a maintenance run in the International Space Station's Japanese Kibo Laboratory Module. Provided by NASA Credit: NASA Station Commander Jeff Williams passed astronaut Scott Kelly, also a former station commander, for most cumulative days living and working in space by a NASA astronaut (520 days and counting). Williams is scheduled to land on Sept. 6, for a record total of 534 days in space. The Expedition 47/48 mission is Williams' fourth spaceflight and third long-duration stay on the space station, a first for an American. Williams served as the flight engineer and lead spacewalker for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-101 mission in 2000. He was a flight engineer for the space station's Expedition 13 in 2006, when the station had only two modules and three crew members. In 2009 and 2010, he served as a flight engineer on Expedition 21 and commanded Expedition 22, when the Tranquility module and cupola were added to the station. During that mission, he also became the first astronaut to interact live with NASA's social media fans and followers. His Aug. 19 spacewalk was the fourth in Williams' career; Williams and fellow NASA astronaut Kate Rubins will embark on another spacewalk Sept. 1. 1 / 2 APA citation: Jeff Williams new NASA record holder for cumulative days in space (2016, August 25) retrieved 26 September 2021 from https://phys.org/news/2016-08-jeff-williams-nasa-holder- cumulative.html This document is subject to copyright.

Aerospace Engineering BY TEAM 39402A Introduction to Aerospace Engineering For our career path, we chose aerospace engineer. Aerospace engineering consists of aircraft, spacecraft and satellite design and construction. Aerospace engineers also test prototypes. A prototype is a new invention that needs to be tested. We chose this career because we love space and adventure! NASA The main United States aerospace engineering company is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, also known as NASA. This agency was created in 1958. NASA was the first space agency to get a human on the moon. Sent by NASA, Neil Armstrong, an astronaut and aeronautical engineer, was the first human to step on the moon in 1969. Now NASA is working on getting people back to the moon and going to Mars. Aircraft Aerospace engineering includes aircraft. There is one main difference between spacecraft and aircraft. Spacecraft are meant to break earth’s gravitational pull, where as aircraft are meant to stay in earth’s gravity. Aircraft also carry cargo and humans. The first airplane was created on December 17, 1903 by the Wright Brothers. Spacecraft Spacecraft are another part of aerospace engineering. There have been many space shuttles launched into orbit. Throughout time, rockets and space shuttles have evolved. Aerospace engineers have made rockets and shuttles much safer. Rockets and shuttles not only transport humans, but also cargo and rovers. Satellites The first satellite was developed by Russia and was named Sputnik1on October 4, 1957. Sputnik travelled at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour. It went around earth every 93 minutes.

Credits: NASA T NASA astronaut and Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly and his Russian counterpart Mikhail Kornienko returned to Earth Tuesday after a 340-day mission aboard the International Space Station. NASA astronaut and Expedition 46 Commander Scott Kelly and his Russian counterpart Mikhail Kornienko returned to Earth Tuesday after a historic 340-day mission aboard the International Space Station. They landed in Kazakhstan at 11:26 p.m. EST (10:26 a.m. March 2 Kazakhstan time). “Scott Kelly’s one-year mission aboard the International Space Station has helped to advance deep space exploration and America’s Journey to Mars,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. “Scott has become the first American astronaut to spend a year in space, and in so doing, helped us take one giant leap toward putting boots on Mars.” During the record-setting One-Year mission, the station crew conducted almost 400 investigations to advance NASA’s mission and benefit all of humanity.
