Expedition 24 Set for June 15 Launch to Station 9 June 2010 worked to change out a faulty pump in the Oxygen Generation System in an effort to bring it back into service. Caldwell Dyson also performed routine microbial surface and air sampling in various areas of the station. The engines of the docked ISS Progress 37 cargo craft were fired twice Monday night for a total of 17 minutes, completing a trio of reboosts that began Friday. These maneuvers optimize the station’s docking opportunities with the Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft and the ISS Progress 38 spacecraft several weeks later. The station is now orbiting at Expedition 24 Flight Engineer Tracy Caldwell Dyson works in the Destiny laboratory of the International an altitude of 221.5 x 218 statute miles. Space Station.

It also worked with a variety of maintenance and science activities. Commander Alexander Skvortsov and Flight Engineer Mikhail Kornienko performed tests on the automated Kurs docking system as they prepare for the arrival of the Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft and three more flight engineers, astronauts Doug Wheelock and Shannon Walker and cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, on June 17. The cosmonauts continued outfitting the Rassvet Mini-Research Module installed by the STS-132 shuttle crew in May and worked with the Russian URAGAN experiment that monitors and photographs areas on Earth where natural and man-made disasters are forecasted. The target for Wednesday was the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

STS-132 Mission Summary
NASA Mission Summary National Aeronautics and Space Administration Washington, D.C. 20546 (202) 358-1100 STS-132 MISSION SUMMARY May 2010 SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS Atlantis’ 12-day mission will deliver the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1 that will provide additional storage space and a new docking port for Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. 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.

International Space Medicine Summit 2019
INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2019 October 10–13, 2019 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas INTERNATIONAL SPACE MEDICINE SUMMIT 2019 October 10–13, 2019 • Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy • Houston, Texas About the Event As we continue human space exploration, much more research is needed to prevent and/or mitigate the medical, psychological and biomedical challenges spacefarers face. The International Space Station provides an excellent laboratory in which to conduct such research. It is essential that the station be used to its fullest potential via cooperative studies and the sharing of equipment and instruments between the international partners. The application of the lessons learned from long-duration human spaceflight and analog research environments will not only lead to advances in technology and greater knowledge to protect future space travelers, but will also enhance life on Earth. The 13th annual International Space Medicine Summit on Oct. 10-13, 2019, brings together the leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts, cosmonauts and educators from the world’s spacefaring nations for high-level discussions to identify necessary space medicine research goals as well as ways to further enhance international cooperation and collaborative research. All ISS partners are represented at the summit. The summit is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Space Policy Program, Texas A&M University College of Engineering and Baylor College of Medicine. Organizers Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy The mission of Rice University’s Baker Institute is to help bridge the gap between the theory and practice of public policy by drawing together experts from academia, government, media, business and nongovernmental organizations.

The completion of the ISS on-orbit assembly allows for a focus on the multifaceted purpose of the ISS, one of scientific research, technology development, exploration and education. As a National Laboratory, the ISS will provide opportunities beyond NASA to academia, commercial entities and other government agencies to pursue their research and development needs in science, technology development and education. With everyone working together, we look forward to extending human presence beyond and improving life here on Earth. This calendar is designed to show all facets of the ISS using displays of astounding imagery and providing significant historical events with the hope of inspiring the next generation. NASA is appreciative of the commitment that America’s educators demonstrate each and every day as they instruct and shape the young students who will be tomorrow’s explorers and leaders. I hope you enjoy the calendar and are encouraged to learn new and exciting aspects about NASA and the ISS throughout the year. Regards, MICHAEL T.
