From 1978-1979, Morgan taught English and science to third graders at Colegio Americano de Quito in Quito, Ecuador. From l979-l998, she taught second, third, and fourth grades at McCall-Donnelly Elementary School. NASA EXPERIENCE: Morgan was selected as the backup candidate for the NASA Teacher in Space Program on July 19, 1985. From September 1985 to January 1986, Morgan trained with Christa McAuliffe and the Challenger crew at NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Following the Challenger accident, Morgan assumed the duties of Teacher in Space Designee. From March 1986 to July 1986, she worked with NASA, speaking to educational organizations throughout the country. In the fall of 1986, Morgan returned to Idaho to resume her teaching career. She taught second and third grades at McCall-Donnelly Elementary and continued to work with NASA's Education Division. Her duties as Teacher in Space Designee included public speaking, educational consulting, curriculum design, and serving on the National Science Foundation's Federal Task Force for Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering. Selected by NASA as a mission specialist and NASA's first Educator Astronaut in January 1998, Morgan reported to the Johnson Space Center in August 1998. After completing two years of training and evaluation, she was assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office Space Station Operations Branch. She then served in the Astronaut Office CAPCOM Branch, working in Mission Control as prime communicator with on-orbit crews. She also served in the Robotics Branch of the Astronaut Office. Morgan has logged over 305 hours in space, completing her first space flight in 2007 as a mission specialist on the crew of STS-118, an assembly mission to the International Space Station. Barbara Morgan retired from NASA in August, 2008, to become the Distinguished Educator in Residence at Boise State University, with a dual appointment in the colleges of Engineering and Education. She continues to make public appearances. -more- SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: STS-118 (August 8-21, 2007) was the 119th space shuttle flight, the 22nd flight to the space station, and the 20th flight for Endeavour. During the mission, Endeavour's crew successfully added a truss segment, a new gyroscope and external spare parts platform to the International Space Station. They also activated a new system that enables docked shuttles to draw electrical power from the station, extending missions to the outpost. A total of four spacewalks were performed by three crewmembers. Endeavour carried 5,000 pounds of equipment and supplies to the station and returned to Earth with 4,000 pounds of scientific materials and used equipment. Morgan served as educator, loadmaster, shuttle and station robotic arm operator, and flight deck crewmember for entry and landing. Traveling 5.3 million miles in space, the STS-118 mission was completed in 12 days, 17 hours, 55 minutes and 34 seconds. JULY 2010 This is the only version available from NASA.

  • Christa's Lost Lessons
    Christa’s Lost Lessons Lost Lesson 1 Christa’s name for her mission: THE ULTIMATE FIELD TRIP (video link) Introduction: Besides the six lost science lessons scheduled for filming aboard Challenger, two televised “live lessons” were planned for the sixth day of the mission. The time scheduled for each was fifteen minutes. These were to be aired on the Public Broadcasting Network (PBS) at 10:40 a.m. and 10:40 p.m. Central Standard Time. The first lesson (actually given its name by Christa) was “The Ultimate Field Trip”. It dealt with explaining and describing to students the general layout of the shuttle. Additionally, crew members (Commander Dick Scobee, Pilot Mike Smith and others) would be introduced. The video archives contained this wonderful clip of Christa actually “walking through” a practice run of both live lessons. Christa’s Lost Lessons - Lost Lesson 1 The second live lesson is addressed in some detail in Bob Mayfield’s paper. It was entitled “Where We’ve Been, Where We’ve Going” Background: The background description for the first live lesson, “The Ultimate Field Trip”, comes from the NASA publication “Teacher in Space Project.” It is stated below: “This lesson is based on a quotation by Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe who described her opportunity to go into space as ‘the ultimate field trip.’ Viewer Objectives: 1. To observe the major areas of the Shuttle and describe their function 2. To list and describe the major kinds of activities crewmembers perform aboard the Shuttle 3. To compare and contrast daily activities in microgravity with those on Earth.

Though more than a score of years after the loss of Challenger’s crew, STS-118 was a reminder of the morning of January 28, 1986. That week Christa McAuliffe planned to perform both live and filmed science lessons. These lost lessons, prepared for the nation and world’s school children, were never done. This project delves into those undone educational activities. Indeed, after studying its content, all will appreciate NASA’s, Christa’s and Barbara’s efforts as well as Bob Mayfield’s in carefully researching, preparing and training for the performance of the six “Challenger lost lessons.” Though lost in the sense that they perished with Challenger and her crew, recounting, redoing, and examining them is, in a sense, a resurrection.

  • Christa Mcauliffe
    In 1985 I was selected from over 11,000 applicants to be the first teacher in space. Like outer space. In a rocket ship called Challenger. And was I up for it? You betcha! As a little girl I watched the Space Age being born. The day after John Glenn orbited the Earth in Friendship 7, I told a friend of mine at Marian High school in Framingham Massachusetts (that’s where I grew up, Framingham), I told my friend that day, ‘Do you realize that someday people will be going to the Moon? Maybe even take a bus?’ I told her, ‘I want to do that!’ And here I was. It was 1984 when President Reagan announced the Teacher in Space Project. NASA was planning to launch the first civilian ever into space, and they were looking specifically for an educator. An ordinary person, and a ‘gifted teacher’, who could communicate with students while in orbit. Now, I can’t speak for the gifted part, but you can’t get more ordinary than a New England girl from suburban Boston teaching high school Social Studies in Concord, New Hampshire. Teaching was my calling, and I loved my students. We took a lot of field trips, and I liked to bring in local guest speakers to emphasize the impact of ordinary people on history. I wanted my students to know that they were as important to the historical record as kings, politicians, or generals. That the experiences of regular people were the real historical barometer; they were the real heroes who shaped the world we lived in.

She died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. EARLy LIFE Born Sharon Christa Corrigan on September 2, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts, McAuliffe was the oldest of five children of Edward and Grace George Corrigan. Her mother, born Grace George, is of Maronite Lebanese origin through her father (Christa’s grandfather) and is a niece of historian Philip Hitti. The year Christa was born, her father was completing his sophomore year at Boston College. Not long thereafter, he took a job as an assistant comptroller in a Boston department store and the family moved to Framingham, Massachusetts, where she attended and graduated from Marian High School in 1966. As a youth, she was inspired by the Apollo moon landing program, and wrote years later on her NASA application form that “I watched the Space Age being born, and I would like to participate!” CAREER AS AN EDUCATOR McAuliffe attended Framingham State College in her hometown, graduating in 1970. A few weeks later, she married her longstanding boyfriend, Steven J. McAuliffe, and they moved to the Washington, DC metropolitan area so Steven could attend the Georgetown University Law Center. They had two children: Scott and Caroline, who were nine and six respectively when she died.
