  • 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.

This oral history with Rick Hauck is being conducted in Bethesda, Maryland, for the Johnson Space Center Oral History Project. The interviewer is Jennifer Ross-Nazzal. Thank you for meeting with me again today. I know your schedule is busy. HAUCK: Thank you. On St. Paddy’s Day, my father’s mother, Florence Fogerty, would be pleased to know that we’re doing this on St. Paddy’s Day, if she were still with us. ROSS-NAZZAL: Thank you. We appreciate it. I wanted to ask you, in the last interview when we spoke, you mentioned that you were actually told by George [W. S.] Abbey and [Richard H.] Dick Truly that you were going to command the return-to-flight mission, but you were told that you couldn’t actually tell anyone this information. What was your reaction when you heard this? HAUCK: Well, I was absolutely thrilled that I was entrusted with that mission. I think every member of the Astronaut Office, probably without exception, wanted to be on that flight, so I was thrilled with it. The fact that I couldn’t tell people about it or speak about it publicly, any concerns about that were dwarfed by the enthusiasm that I had, knowing that this gift was in my pocket now. I knew that, of course, until something’s announced, it can be changed, and so that 17 March 2004 1 Johnson Space Center Oral History Project Frederick H.

    THE HENRY R. KRAVIS PRIZE IN LEADERSHIP FOR 2013 AWARDED TO JOHANN OLAV KOSS FOUR-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST-TURNED- NONPROFIT LEADER Olympic speed skater from Norway founded Right To Play, an organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity. Claremont, Calif., March 6, 2013–– Claremont McKenna College (CMC) announced today that four-time Olympic gold medalist and nonprofit leader Johann Olav Koss has been awarded the eighth annual Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership. The Kravis Prize, which carries a $250,000 award designated to the recipient organization, recognizes extraordinary leadership in the nonprofit sector. Koss will be presented with The Kravis Prize at a ceremony on April 18 held on the CMC campus. Founded in 2000 by Koss, Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children facing adversity. Right To Play’s impact is focused on four areas: education, health, peace building, and community development. Right To Play reaches 1 million children in more than 20 countries through play programming that teaches them the skills to build better futures, while driving social change in their communities. The organization promotes the involvement of all children and youth by engaging with girls, persons with disabilities, children affected by HIV/AIDS, as well as former combatants and refugees. “We use play as a way to teach and empower children,” Koss says. “Play can help children overcome adversity and understand there are people who believe in them. We would like every child to understand and accept their own abilities, and to have hopes and dreams.

  • Armstrong Releases021.Pdf
    NeilA. Armstrong Director Institute of Engineering & Medicine University of Cincinnati Neil A. Armstrong is the Director of the Institute of Engineering and Medicine at the University of Cincinnati. The Institute is a research organization concerned with interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving in a variety of engineering and medical- areas. Professor Armstrong also teaches at the university, primarily in the School of Aerospace Engineering. As a naval aviator, he flew 78 combat missi ons during the Korean action. As a civilian, Professor Armstrong served the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its predecessor agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, for 17 years, as engineer, test pilot, astronaut and administrator. As a test pilot at NASA's flight Research Center at Edwards, California, he was a project pilot on many pioneering high speed aircraft, including the well known 4000 mph X-IS. He has flown over 200 different models of aircraft including jets, rockets, helicopters and gliders. Professor Armstrong transferred to astronaut status in 1962. He was assigned as a command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission. Gemini 8 was launched on March 16, 1966, and Armstrong performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space. As spacecraft commander for Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission, Armstrong gained the distinction of being the first man to land a craft on the moon and the first to step on its surface. Professor Armstrong subsequently held the position of Deputy Associate Administrator for Aeronautics, Office of Advanced Research and Technology, NASA Headquarters, Washington, D. C. In this position, he was responsible for the coordination and management of overall NASA research and technology work related to aeronautics.
