Mission Task Checklist
Expedition 321 Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Self-Guided Field Trip Facilitator’s Guide BEFORE YOU ARRIVE: Spend some time pre-teaching the history and science concepts for the exhibits you will be visiting. More information is available at www.nasa.gov (click on the “For Educators” tab) and www.kennedyspacecenter.com (click on the “Experience” tab). Make copies of the Expedition 321 Logbook for your students and chaperones. For a bifold booklet, print out the PDF file, make 2-sided copies (invert every other original when collating) and staple in the centerfold (set stapler to 5-1/2 inches). Assign students to teams and team positions. Ideally, there should be four students to a team; two or three teams can easily share one chaperone. Decide which activities you are going to explore. There are 20 tasks in the Expedition 321 Logbook, but it is unlikely that students will be able to complete all of these in a single day. WHEN YOU ARRIVE: If coming by bus, you will be dropped off and picked up in Parking Lot 4 near the main entrance. If coming by car, pay a parking fee for each vehicle. You may pick up your tickets at the Will Call / Group Sales window near the main gate. Have your reservation number as well as any required tax-exempt certificates. There will be a security check of your bags. No hard-sided coolers are permitted inside the complex. For guests requiring special assistance, wheelchairs are available for rent at Information Central. GROUP PHOTOS: There are several spots throughout the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex that are popular locations for group photos: Outside the main gate in front of the huge NASA logo sign or the John F.

Launching a New Era of Exploration Welcome to Langley NASA Langley had a banner year in 2012 as we helped propel the nation toward a new age of air and space. From delivering on missions to creating new technologies and knowledge for space, aviation and science, Langley continued the rich tradition of innovation begun 95 years ago. Langley is providing leading-edge research and game-changing technology innovations for human space exploration. We are testing prototype articles of the Orion crew vehicle to optimize designs and improve landing systems for increased crew survivability. Langley has had a role in private-industry space exploration through agreements with SpaceX, Sierra Nevada Corp. and Boeing to provide engineering expertise, conduct testing and support research. Aerospace and Science With the rest of the world, we held our breath as the Curiosity rover landed on Mars – with Langley’s help. The Langley team performed millions of simulations of the entry, descent and landing phase of the Mars Science Laboratory mission to enable a perfect landing, Langley Center Director Lesa Roe and Mark Sirangelo, corporate and for the first time made temperature and pressure vice president and head of Sierra Nevada Space Systems, with measurements as the spacecraft descended, providing the Dream Chaser Space System model.

The Messenger Spacecraft Power System Design and Early Mission Performance
THE MESSENGER SPACECRAFT POWER SYSTEM DESIGN AND EARLY MISSION PERFORMANCE G. Dakermanji, C. Person, J. Jenkins, L. Kennedy, D. Temkin Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, 11100 Johns Hopkins Rd., Laurel, Maryland, 20723-6099, USA Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft was launched on August 3, 2004. The spacecraft will be inserted into Mercury orbit in March 2011 for one year of orbital operation. During the mission, the spacecraft distance to the Sun will vary between approximately 1 and 0.3 Astronomical Units (AU), imposing severe requirements on the spacecraft thermal and power systems design. The spacecraft is maintained behind a sunshade. The two single-axis, gimbaled solar array panels are designed to withstand the expected high temperatures. A peak power tracking system has been selected to allow operation over the widely varying solar array I-V curves. In order to reduce cost and risk while increasing the likelihood of mission success, the approach taken in the power system design, including the solar arrays, was to use conventional design, materials, and fabrication techniques. 1. MISSION DESCRIPTION a. Launch Configuration Sunshade MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), shown in Fig. 1, is a Battery NASA Discovery Program spacecraft designed and built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). It will orbit the planet Mercury for one Earth year of orbital operation. Most of what is known about Mercury comes from the Mariner 10 spacecraft. Using three flybys, Mariner 10 was able to map about 45% of the planet surface during a one-year period between 1974 and 1975.

Rideshare and the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle: the Key to Low-Cost Lagrange-Point Missions
SSC15-II-5 Rideshare and the Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle: the Key to Low-cost Lagrange-point Missions Chris Pearson, Marissa Stender, Christopher Loghry, Joe Maly, Valentin Ivanitski Moog Integrated Systems 1113 Washington Avenue, Suite 300, Golden, CO, 80401; 303 216 9777, extension 204 [email protected] Mina Cappuccio, Darin Foreman, Ken Galal, David Mauro NASA Ames Research Center PO Box 1000, M/S 213-4, Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000; 650 604 1313 [email protected] Keats Wilkie, Paul Speth, Trevor Jackson, Will Scott NASA Langley Research Center 4 West Taylor Street, Mail Stop 230, Hampton, VA, 23681; 757 864 420 [email protected] ABSTRACT Rideshare is a well proven approach, in both LEO and GEO, enabling low-cost space access through splitting of launch charges between multiple passengers. Demand exists from users to operate payloads at Lagrange points, but a lack of regular rides results in a deficiency in rideshare opportunities. As a result, such mission architectures currently rely on a costly dedicated launch. NASA and Moog have jointly studied the technical feasibility, risk and cost of using an Orbital Maneuvering Vehicle (OMV) to offer Lagrange point rideshare opportunities. This OMV would be launched as a secondary passenger on a commercial rocket into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) and utilize the Moog ESPA secondary launch adapter. The OMV is effectively a free flying spacecraft comprising a full suite of avionics and a propulsion system capable of performing GTO to Lagrange point transfer via a weak stability boundary orbit. In addition to traditional OMV ’tug’ functionality, scenarios using the OMV to host payloads for operation at the Lagrange points have also been analyzed.
