PulseR Ruggedized Solutions Press Release PulseR Congratulates SpaceX on Historic Mission (BRISTOL, PA) - On May 31st, 2020, a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully docked with the International Space Station after launching from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, altering the course of commercial spaceflight forever. Aboard the Crew Dragon were NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley, marking the first time SpaceX has successfully launched a crewed mission. After the launch, the first-stage booster landed autonomously in the Atlantic Ocean. Behnken and Hurley are expected to work on the ISS for 30 to 90 days, returning to Earth in August 2020. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is the first to be designed, built and launched to space by a private entity.

"And so we're asking people not to travel to the Kennedy Space Center, and I will tell you that makes me sad to even say it. Boy, I wish we could make this into something really spectacular." Bridenstine urged the public to watch the launch online or on TV from home. "We don't want an outbreak," of COVID-19, he told reporters during a remote news conference. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell agreed it's a In this image from video made available by NASA, shame more people won't be able to enjoy the astronauts Bob Behnken, left, and Doug Hurley give a launch from Florida.

This Edition has been compiled to celebrate 30years of Space Shuttle missions and to coincide with the last mission. NASA's greatest achievement was the creation of a reusable spacecraft. The Apollo spacecraft cost an astronomical sum to produce and were single-use only. The heat from Earth's atmosphere essentially disintegrated the shielding used to protect the spacecraft. The spacecraft also landed in the ocean, and the impact and sea water damaged the equipment. To remedy this, NASA built a spacecraft that had two rocket launchers attached to an external fuel tank and an orbiter module. They coated the spacecraft with protective heat-resistant ceramic tiles and changed the landing design to a glider-style. It took nine years of preparation, from 1972 to 1981, before the first mission. I would like to thank NASA/JPL and ESA for the information that has been compiled in this special edition.

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is delivering on its goal of safe, reliable, and cost-effective human transportation to and from the International Space Station from the United States through a partnership with American private industry. A new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying astronauts to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station provides expanded utility, additional research time, and broader opportunities for discovery on the orbiting laboratory. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and overcome the challenges of long- duration spaceflight. As commercial companies focus on providing human transportation services to and from low-Earth orbit, NASA is freed up to focus on building spacecraft and rockets for deep space missions. With the ability to purchase astronaut transportation from Boeing and SpaceX as a service on a fixed-price contract, NASA can use resources to put the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon as a part of our Artemis missions in preparation for human missions to Mars.

Landing Safely on Earth, Then the Moon and Mars
AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY, INTEGRATION AND OPERATIONS send humans beyond low-Earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. NASA’s Mars 2020 mission, with the 1,050-ki- logram Perseverance rover and new technology demonstration 2-kilogram Ingenuity Mars heli- copter, were launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida in July. The rover is sched- uled to land on the red planet at Jezero Crater. Sev- eral new technologies will operate during entry, descent and landing, including Range Trigger and Terrain-Relative Navigation, while Perseverance descends under the 21.5-meter-nominal-diame- ter Disk Gap Band parachute. In June, the U.S. Army initiated the process to develop the Next Generation Static Line personnel parachute for multidomain operations. The Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Sol- dier Center is leading the technical development and spent the end of the year identifying the capa- bilities of commercially available parachutes in the U.S. and allied nations. These data, along with user input, will be used to conduct a detailed analysis and determine a potential path in 2021.

Reagan, Challenger, and the Nation by Kristen
On A Frigid January Day in Central Florida: Reagan, Challenger, and the Nation By Kristen Soltis Anderson Space Shuttle launches are exhilarating to behold. They are grand spectacles, loud and unapologetic. For those up close, observing from the grounds of Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the rumble of the rocket engines is deafening. Hundreds of miles away, the growing trail of white exhaust topped by a small gleaming dot can be seen brightly, climbing silently into the sky. Whether watching with one’s own eyes or through a television broadcast, any launch of humans into space is a majestic and terrifying thing to behold. There is nothing routine, nothing ordinary about space. Yet on a frigid January day in Central Florida in 1986, the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger was expected to be just that: routine. So “routine”, according to NBC news coverage, that “the Soviet Union reportedly didn't have its usual spy trawler anchored off the coast”.1 Two dozen previous Space Shuttle missions had taken off from American soil and returned home safely; there was little reason for Americans to think this mission would be any different. Though most Americans were not watching the launch live, one very special group of Americans was: schoolchildren. Despite the otherwise ordinary nature of the launch planned for that day, what did make the Challenger’s tenth mission special was the presence of Christa McAuliffe, a social studies teacher from New Hampshire. President Ronald Reagan had hoped that including a teacher in a shuttle mission would be an uplifting and inspirational reminder to the nation about the importance of education - and of our space program.

ASTRONOMICAL HIGHLIGHTS May 2020 Broadcast Date May 4, 2020 A Tale of Two Comets Last month I mentioned there was a comet approaching the inner region of our solar system. The comet (called Comet ATLAS or C/2019 Y4) brightened quickly until late-March, and some astronomers anticipated that it might be visible to the naked eye in May and become one of the most spectacular comets seen in the last 20 years. The comet was discovered on December 29, 2019 by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) robotic astronomical survey system based in Hawaii. This NASA-supported survey project for Planetary Defense operates two autonomous telescopes that look for Earth approaching comets and asteroids.
