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.

  • Commencement Committees
    Commencement MAY 2021 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: It is with a mixture of happiness, pride, and confidence that I write to you on this occasion of the culmination of your years of effort and achievement at the University of Connecticut. Many times in the past 12 months I have had reason to recall the observation of the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus: “Happiness and freedom begin with one principle: some things are within your control, and some are not.” This is a principle we can truly say has been affirmed for everyone in the world since the spring of 2020. Certainly, it is a principle that was not lost on you, as you responded to events outside your control with the creativity, determination, and perseverance that came to characterize UConn during this time. Great challenges beget great achievements, and your achievement as students here shine as brightly as any in the 140- year history of our University. You now continue your journey in the world not just prepared, but empowered: empowered by the knowledge that you have it within yourself to face any obstacle, and overcome it. This is a special class, its ranks filled with scholars of all disciplines and leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice. One of the pleasures I look forward to in the coming years is learning of how you will apply your UConn experience to transforming our world – hopefully, learning about it from you in person, on visits back to your alma mater. As we move closer toward a return to a semblance of life as we knew it before the pandemic, I know it will become easier to put the last year into the context of your entire time at UConn.

  • Sts-73 Press Kit September 1995
    NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION STS-73 PRESS KIT SEPTEMBER 1995 UNITED STATES MICROGRAVITY LABORATORY-2 (USML-2) Edited by Richard W. Orloff, 01/2001/Page 1 STS-73 INSIGNIA STS073-S-001 -- The insignia for STS-73, the second flight of the United States Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2), depicts the space shuttle Columbia in the vastness of space. In the foreground are the classic regular polyhedrons that were investigated by Plato and later Euclid. The Pythagoreans were also fascinated by the symmetrical three-dimensional objects whose sides are the same regular polygon. The tetrahedron, the cube, the octahedron, and the icosahedron were each associated with the "Natural Elements" of that time: fire (on this mission represented as combustion science); Earth (crystallography), air and water (fluid physics). An additional icon shown as the infinity symbol was added to further convey the discipline of fluid mechanics. The shape of the insignia represents a fifth polyhedron, a dodecahedron, which the Pythagoreans thought corresponded to a fifth element that represented the cosmos. The NASA insignia design for space shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced. PHOTO CREDIT: NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

In 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel into space. Sally Ride joined NASA in 1978 and five years later she became the first female American astronaut to fly in space. Tereshkova and Ride's accomplishments profoundly impacted space exploration and paved the way for the dozens of other women who became astronauts, and the hundreds of thousands more who pursued careers in science and technology. These advancements have greatly affected science, technology and space travel, but women in exploration still have a long way to go. Social constructs and gender expectations have often discouraged women from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and women who do pursue one of these paths are often faced with discrimination throughout their career.
