Chris Pancratz, 52, Chairman of the NSS Executive CHRIS Committee, died 2 August in Virginia after a battle with cancer. During his six years on the NSS Board of Directors, he worked tirelessly in many capacities. Chris’s loss was felt around the world and at the highest levels of the Society, as demonstrated by these comments received at NSS Headquarters: Kirby Ikin Chairman of the “The loss of Chris Pancratz robs the NSS of a valuable resource—an individ- Board of Directors ual who combined the qualities of understanding and enthusiastically supporting the exploration of space, plus personal energy and organizational drive.” —Hugh Downs, Chairman of the NSS Board of Governors Christopher M.Pancratz “Chris was a true leader. He is to be admired for his never-failing energy and enthusiasm for the NSS mission.” —Tim McEgan, President of the National Space Society of Australia In addition to being named the National Space Society Activist of the Year in 2000, he also served as Acting Executive Director during a challenging time for our organization. He also served as Vice President of Public Affairs and Director of Strategic Planning, as well as being a major financial supporter of NSS and a frequent contributor to this magazine. But it was not only NSS that received Chris’ support. He had a long history of community service with the United States Jaycees Foundation, where he served on the Board of Trustees, as well as the United Junior Chamber of Commerce. This kind of selfless dedication to volunteer causes is rare, and we will deeply miss Chris and his dedication to not only the mission of NSS, but his dedication to his community. Chris was truly dedicated to the cause of opening up the space frontier, and so we dedicate this issue of Ad Astra to his memory and his family. Thank you, Chris.

  • Press Release
    National Aeronautic Association FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Ivey, 703-527-0226 E-Mail: [email protected] SpaceShipOne Team Named 2004 Collier Trophy Winner Arlington, VA – SpaceShipOne, the first-ever privately financed, manned spacecraft has won the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy Monday, taking its place alongside the greatest advances in aviation history. The Collier Trophy has been awarded each year since 1911 by the National Aeronautic Association “for the greatest achievement in aviation in America…” SpaceshipOne went into space for the first time on June 21, 2004, when Mike Melvill piloted the craft 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, an altitude considered to be the beginning of space. In the fall of last year, SS1 made a pair of return trips to space within a week of each other to earn the $10 million Ansari X-Prize, given to the first team to prove that civilian manned spaceflight is feasible. The amazing vehicle was designed and built by a small firm in Mojave, California, Scaled Composites, LLC, which was founded in 1982 by aircraft designer Burt Rutan. The cost of the project, about $26 million, was covered by investor Paul G. Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. Capable of carrying a pilot and two passengers to space, SS1 is made primarily of graphite and epoxy. It reaches space much like a rocket would, traveling straight up at many times the speed of sound after being released from its carrier ship, White Knight. It featured the revolutionary idea of a “carefree” re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere, by reconfiguring its wings, which are then moved back into position to allow the pilot to glide the craft back to Earth.

These guides suggest possible ways of presenting the aerospace material and are for the leader’s use. Whether you are a classroom teacher or an Aerospace Education Officer leading the CAP squadron, how you use these guides is up to you. You may know of different and better methods for presenting the Aerospace Dimensions’ lessons, so please don’t hesitate to teach the lesson in a manner that works best for you.

  • State of Space 2020 Remarks by Tom Zelibor, CEO Space Foundation February 11, 2020 National Press Club, Washington, DC
    State of Space 2020 Remarks by Tom Zelibor, CEO Space Foundation February 11, 2020 National Press Club, Washington, DC [As prepared for delivery] There has never been a better time to be in the space community. Even though we just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 last summer, the next 50 years will be even more exciting and transformational for all of us. The same excitement I felt as a 15-year-old sitting on my parents living room floor watching Neil and Buzz making history is back again. So, we should ask ourselves, what will be different this time? • This is not just a US government endeavor...it will encompass all aspects of our space ecosystem. • It will not be a group of scientists and engineers that look like me...it will be a diverse, multi-racial, all gender, multi-generational team all dedicated to a common mission. • It will not be the East vs. West space race between two superpowers...it will be a worldwide endeavor that brings the best and the brightest talent of all nations to make the next great human adventure to space even better than the last. • Finally, it will have a heavy component of public-private partnerships to leverage the best we all have to offer. So, what were some of the exciting events that took place in 2019? 1. Creation of Space Force (December) 2. Vice President Pence announced the goal of NASA returning to the Moon by 2024; Project Artemis was announced and kicked off. (March) 1 3. Virgin Galactic IPO is offered (October) – creating market value of over $2 billion 4.

However, three areas have not had much scrutiny: the examination of the contributions of the individuals who have developed successhl spinoffs; the commercial success of the spinoffs themselves; and the degree to which they are understood by the public. In short, there has been limited evaluation to measure the success of technology transfer efforts mandated by Congress. Research conducted during the first year of a three-year NASA grant to the United States Space Foundation has taken the initial steps toward measuring the success of methodologies to accomplish that Congressionally-mandated technology transfer. In particular, the US Space Foundation, in cooperation with ARAC, technology transfer experts; JKA, a nationally recognized themed entertainment design company; and top evaluation consultants, has inaugurated and evaluated a fresh approach including commercial practices to encourage, motivate, and energize technology transfer by ..
