Several NASA developers of payloads for the ISS reviewed early drafts of the document and provided inputs. Participation of the ESSP included several members of the Common Instrument Interface team. The intent of this document is to level the playing field in competitions for Earth Science funds, and to improve the quality of science being done from the ISS. The problem being addressed is that the ISS has recently become much more available for hosting science payloads, but the science community has widely variable levels of experience and expertise to accommodations information about the ISS. This may unduly favor organizations with past experience in the development of ISS payloads. With this document, scientists and principal investigators and their engineering teams can more readily gain the level of understanding of the ISS needed to develop a winning proposal. This improves the chances of the best science being done from the ISS, reduces workload within the proposal development workforce and reduces the expense of developing a proposal, reduces workload on those within the ISS Research Integration Office who work with proposal teams and review proposals, and reduces post-award surprises which might lead to cost over-runs or cancellation. This initial release is under the configuration control of the ESMP and the GSFC Flight Projects Directorate, Earth Science Projects Division.

The astronauts also performed five spacewalks while on the station. Endeavour is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center, Fla., Wednesday.

The STS-123 and Expedition 16 crews will bid one another farewell, and the hatches between the two spacecraft will close at 5:13 p.m. EDT. Endeavour is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station at 7:56 p.m., ending its 12-day stay at the orbital outpost. STS-123 arrived at the station March 12, delivering the Japanese Logistics Module - Pressurized Section, the first pressurized component of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kibo laboratory, to the station. The crew of Endeavour also delivered the final element of the station’s Mobile Servicing System, the Canadian-built Dextre, also known as the Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator.

  • Correlation of the SAGE III on ISS Thermal Models in Thermal Desktop
    47th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2017-171 16-20 July 2017, Charleston, South Carolina Correlation of the SAGE III on ISS Thermal Models in Thermal Desktop Ruth M. Amundsen1, Warren T. Davis2, and Kaitlin A. K. Liles3 NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA, 23681 and Shawn C. McLeod4 Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc., Hampton, VA, 23666 The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) instrument is the fifth in a series of instruments developed for monitoring aerosols and gaseous constituents in the stratosphere and troposphere. SAGE III was launched on February 19, 2017 and mounted to the International Space Station (ISS) to begin its three-year mission. A detailed thermal model of the SAGE III payload, which consists of multiple subsystems, has been developed in Thermal Desktop (TD). Correlation of the thermal model is important since the payload will be expected to survive a three-year mission on ISS under varying thermal environments. Three major thermal vacuum (TVAC) tests were completed during the development of the SAGE III Instrument Payload (IP); two subsystem-level tests and a payload-level test. Additionally, a characterization TVAC test was performed in order to verify performance of a system of heater plates that was designed to allow the IP to achieve the required temperatures during payload-level testing; model correlation was performed for this test configuration as well as those including the SAGE III flight hardware. This document presents the methods that were used to correlate the SAGE III models to TVAC at the subsystem and IP level, including the approach for modeling the parts of the payload in the thermal chamber, generating pre-test predictions, and making adjustments to the model to align predictions with temperatures observed during testing.

As an example, try holding a book in your hands straight out in front of you and not moving them for one or two minutes. After a while, do your hands start to shake or move around? Imagine how hard it would be to hold your hands steady for many days in a row, or to lift something really heavy. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a really long arm that never gets tired? Well, to help out in space, scientists have designed and used robotic arms for years. On Earth, scientists have designed robotic arms for everything from moving heavy equipment to performing delicate surgery. Robotic arms are important machines that help people work on Earth as well as in space. Astronaut attached to a robotic arm on the ISS. Look at your arms once again.

  • 2008 Spaceport News Summary
    2008 Spaceport News Summary The 2008 Spaceport News used the above banner for the year. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article. Followup From the 2007 Spaceport News Summary The followng is in the December 14, 2007, issue of the Spaceport News. Page 1 There is an article in the 2007 Spaceport News Summary about External Tank repairs to ET-124, flown on STS-117, after it was damaged by hail. Below is a photo in the VAB, showing the extent of some of the damage. A lot of scaffolding had to be installed, some of which is in visible in the photo.

MRM-1, also known as Rassvet, which means dawn in Russian, will be permanently attached to the bottom port of the station’s Zarya module. MRM-1 will carry important hardware on its exterior including a radiator, airlock and a European robotic arm. Atlantis also will deliver addi- tional station hardware stored inside a cargo carrier. Three spacewalks are planned to stage spare components outside the station, including six spare batteries, a Ku-band antenna and spare parts for the Canadian Dextre robotic arm. Shuttle mission STS-132 is the final sched- uled flight for Atlantis .

The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-134 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
