  • Parent Memo-26 |
    Dear Parent, Hope you are well, As part of our Science and Technology Week, we are pleased to inform you that we will be hosting special events and activities for all students. One of the highlighted activities is a visit by a special guest speaker, Astronaut Nicole Stott. Nicole Stott is an American engineer and a retired NASA astronaut. She worked for NASA for 27 years in various positions and is one of very few women who conducted a spacewalk. Astronaut Stott served as a Flight Engineer on ISS Expedition 20 and Expedition 21 and was a Mission Specialist on STS-128 and STS-133. Please find attached her biography which denotes her very impressive career as an engineer, astronaut and director of missions. Nicole is the first person to tweet from space, and is an artist who has created several paintings while in space. She represents a perfect example of why we believe art must be integrated into the world of STEM to inspire creativity and innovation. This celebrated astronaut will be interacting with all of our students virtually starting May 3rd until May 6th 2020. Please find below the scheduled visits: Grade Date / Time Grades 5 and 6 Sunday, May 3rd at 1:00 p.m. Grades 7 and 8 Monday, May 4th at 1:00 p.m. Grades 9 and 10 Tuesday, May 5th at 1:00 p.m. Grades 11 and 12 Wednesday, May 6th at 1:00 p.m. Zoom Meeting IDs will be emailed to all students the night before. Each class will submit questions to the teachers beforehand and 6 of the best questions will be asked in the session to be answered by Astronaut Stott.

  • Air Leak on Space Station 29 September 2020
    Russia reports 'non-standard' air leak on Space Station 29 September 2020 manned space programmes, in a televised comment. He said the ISS always has slight air loss due to the air purifying system. "These leaks are predictable. What's happening now is more than the standard leakage and naturally if it lasts a long time, it will require supplies of extra air to the station," he said. He said the crew were now resting but hoped to find the precise spot and fix the leak on Wednesday.

  • NASA Assigns STS-127, Expedition 19 Crews 12 February 2008
    NASA assigns STS-127, Expedition 19 crews 12 February 2008 The U.S. space agency has assigned the crews for the STS-127 space shuttle mission and the Expedition 19 International Space Station mission. The Endeavour space shuttle's STS-127 mission is to deliver the final components of the Japanese space agency's Kibo laboratory to the space station. Expedition 19 will double the size of the station's resident crew to six people. Mark Polansky will command Endeavour for STS-127, targeted to launch in 2009. Marine Lt. Col. Douglas Hurley will serve as pilot, with astronauts Christopher Cassidy, Thomas Marshburn, David Wolf and Julie Payette, a Canadian Space Agency astronaut, onboard. The mission will deliver U.S. Army Col. Timothy Kopra to the station to join Expedition 18 as a flight engineer and science officer and return Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata to Earth. Hurley, Cassidy, Marshburn and Kopra will be making their first trips into space. The Japanese module will provide a type of "front porch" for experiments in the exposed space environment. The mission is to include five spacewalks. Expedition 19 will be commanded by cosmonaut and Russian Air Force Col. Gennady Padalka.

Harwood CBS News Space Analyst [email protected] CBS News!!! 4/26/11 Page 2 ! CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available. Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 03/18/11 Initial STS-134 release 04/27/11 Updating throughout Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. 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.
