GO TO THE KSC PRESS RELEASES HOME PAGE January 9, 1996 KSC Contact: Bruce Buckingham KSC Release No. 2-96 SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION STS-72 LAUNCH COUNTDOWN UNDERWAY The countdown for launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavour on mission STS-72 began on time yesterday at 7:30 a.m. EDT, at the T-43 hour mark. The KSC launch team is conducting the countdown from Firing Room 1 of the Launch Control Center. The countdown includes 25 hours and 48 minutes of built-in hold time leading to the opening of the launch window at 4:18 a.m. (EDT) on Jan. 11. The launch window extends for about 49 minutes. The exact launch time will be announced about 90 minutes prior to liftoff following final computation of the location of the SFU spacecraft. STS-72 is the first Space Shuttle mission for 1996. It will be the 10th flight of the Shuttle Endeavour and the 74th flight overall in NASA’s Space Shuttle program. The primary objectives of mission STS-72 are to retrieve the Japanese Space Flyer Unit (SFU) and to deploy and retrieve the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology Flyer (OAST-Flyer). Endeavour was rolled out of Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 on Nov. 30 and mated with the external tank and solid rocket boosters in the Vehicle Assembly Building. The Shuttle stack was then transported to Pad 39-B on Dec. 6. Endeavour last flew in September 1995. The STS-72 crew are: Commander Brian Duffy, Pilot Brent Jett, and Mission Specialists Leroy Chaio, Winston Scott, Dan Barry and Koichi Wakata, representing the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). The crew arrived at KSC at about 9:30 a.m. yesterday. Their activities at KSC prior to launch include equipment fit checks, medical examinations and opportunities to fly in the Shuttle Training Aircraft.

    Landsat 9 Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris Mission Success Approach

    First Int'l. Orbital Debris Conf. 2019 (LPI Contrib. No. 2109) 6058.pdf Landsat 9 Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris Mission Success Approach Michael S. Pryzby(1), Scott M. Hull(2), Angela M. Russo(2), Glenn T. Iona(2), Daniel Helfrich(2), and Evan H. Webb(2) (1) ATA Aerospace, 7474 Greenway Center Dr, Suite 500, Greenbelt, MD 20770, USA (2) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, 8800 Greenbelt Rd, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA ABSTRACT Landsat 9* (L9) is the successor mission to Landsat 8 (L8) previously known as Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). Both missions are large unmanned remote sensing satellites operating in sun- synchronous polar orbits. As opposed to L8/LDCM, systems engineers for L9 incorporated Micrometeoroid/Orbital Debris (MMOD) protection for small object collisions as part of the L9’s mission success criteria. In other words, the NASA Process for Limiting Orbital Debris (NASA-STD-8719.14A) only calls for analyses of the protection of disposal-critical hardware, but L9 opted to also assess and provide small particle penetration protections for all observatory components including instruments that are not part of the spacecraft components needed for controlled reentry. Systems engineers at Goddard developed a design process to protect against MMOD during the life of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) observatories, and in particular the Landsat 9 Mission. Simply stated, this design process enhanced the effectiveness of existing Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) to provide the needed protection. The end goal of the design process was to establish a necessary blanket areal density for a given electronics box or instrument wall thickness and a separation between the outer MLI blanket and the structure underneath.

    1996 Spaceport News Summary There was one banner used in 1996; see above, with Mission updates on the left. And a little color is introduced into the Spaceport News! NOTE: There is an update from the 1995 Spaceport News Summary at the end of this Summary. 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.
