Außeneinsätze (EVA) im Weltraum vorbereiten – Artikel auf dem DLR-Portal Kein Spaziergang: Das EVA-Training - DLR-Webcast mit Gerhard Thiele Der Weltraum ist die gefährlichste Umgebung, in der Menschen überleben können. Ein Außeneinsatz oder EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity) ist somit eine sehr kritische Operation. ESA-Astronaut und Physiker Gerhard Thiele erklärt, wie die Astronauten sich auf solche Einsätze vorbereiten. … (weiter lesen: http://www.dlr.de/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-78/7420_read-11068/7420_page-8/ ) Astronautentraining: Für den Weltraum unter Wasser Die Hände stecken in unförmigen Raumanzughandschuhen, die Füße in klobigen Schuhen, über einen Schlauch wird Atemluft geliefert Der deutsche Astronautenanwärter Alexander Gerst und seine italienische Kollegin Samantha Cristoforetti gleiten zum Schwerelosigkeitstraining ins Wasserbecken des European Astronaut Centre (EAC) auf dem Gelände des DLR. Noch weiß keiner der beiden, dass Trainer Hervé Stevenin unter Wasser etliche Überraschungen für diesen "Außeneinsatz im Weltall“ bereithält.

EAC: the European Astronaut Centre
EAC: The European Astronaut Centre Activities within the Single European Astronaut Corps G. Thiele participated as Mission Specialist in the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STS-99), which carried out the three- dimensional mapping of most of the Earth’s land surface. Mission- preparation support for STS-100/ MPLM, with ESA Astronaut U. Guidoni, is being provided at Johnson Space Centre (JSC). An agreement with ASI on the co- operation related to this first mission by a European astronaut to the ISS is being prepared. Thomas Reiter received the ‘Space Award 2000’ from the Discovery Channel and the ‘Verein zur Förderung der Raumfahrt’ during the year. Claudie André-Deshays and Jean Pierre Haigneré received the ‘Ordre du Courage’ from the President of the Russian Federation.

STS-99 Endeavour SHUTTLE RADAR TOPOGRAPHY MISSION
STS-99 Endeavour SHUTTLE RADAR TOPOGRAPHY MISSION: PUTTING OUR PLANET ON THE MAP KSC Release No. 1-00 January 2000 The Space Shuttle Endeavour mission will chart a new course, using two antennae and a 200-foot-long mast protruding from its payload bay to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth’s surface. The result of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth’s topography. Besides contributing to the production of better maps, these measurements could lead to improved water drainage modeling, more realistic flight simulators, better locations for cell phone towers, and enhanced navigation safety. Just about any project that requires accurate knowledge of the shape and height of the land can benefit from the data. Some examples are flood control, soil conservation, reforestation, volcano monitoring, earthquake research, and glacier movement monitoring. The measurements, which once processed are expected to be accurate to within 50 feet, may be tailored to meet the needs of the military, civil, and scientific user communities, bettering the lives of people across the planet. Other possible uses of the information include aiding the selection of locations for cellular phone towers and improving topographical maps for backpackers, firefighters and geologists. The 11-day mission is a partnership between NASA and the Department of Defense’s National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), together with the German and Italian space agencies. The U.S. military, the primary customer of the data gathered during the mission, will use the 3-D pictures, called visualizations, to help in mission planning and rehearsal, modeling and simulation.

Space Shuttle Mission Sts-55 Press Kit February 1993
NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION SPACE SHUTTLE MISSION STS-55 PRESS KIT FEBRUARY 1993 SECOND GERMAN SPACELAB MISSION/SPACELAB D-2 Edited by Richard W.Orloff,01/2001/Page 1 STS-55 INSIGNIA STS055-S-001 -- Designed by the flight crewmembers, the insignia for the STS-55 mission displays the space shuttle orbiter Columbia over an Earth-sky background. This mission is the second dedicated German (Deutsche) Spacelab flight and has accordingly been designated D-2. Depicted beneath the orbiter are the American and German flags flying together, representing the partnership of this laboratory mission. The two blue stars in the border bearing the crewmembers' names signify each of the alternate payload specialists, Gerhard Thiele and Renate Brummer. The stars in the sky stand for each of the children of the crewmembers in symbolic representation of the space program's legacy to future generations. The rainbow symbolizes the hope for a brighter tomorrow because of the knowledge and technologies gained from this mission's multi-faceted experiments. The NASA insignia design for space shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced. PHOTO CREDIT: NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

2000 Spaceport News Summary Final
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________- 2000 Spaceport News Summary There were two main banners used in 2000; shown above, with the bottom version taking over with the June 30, 2000, issue of the Spaceport News. The Mission update feature, on the left-hand side of the first page, looks to have lasted through the June 30th issue, when an “Inside” feature replaced the Mission update, showcasing articles in the Spaceport News, by description and page number. This feature was in the remainder of the 2000 issues. Introduction The first issue of the Spaceport News was December 13, 1962. The 1963, 1964 and 1965 Spaceport News were issued weekly. The Spaceport News was issued every two weeks, starting July 7, 1966, until the last issue on February 24, 2014. Spaceport Magazine, a monthly issue, superseded the Spaceport News in April 2014, until the final issue, Jan./Feb. 2020. The two 1962 Spaceport News issues and the issues from 1996 until the final Spaceport Magazine issue, are available for viewing at this website. The Spaceport News issues from 1963 through 1995 are currently not available online. Page 1 In this Summary, black font is original Spaceport News text, blue font is something I added or someone else/some other source provided, and purple font is a hot link. All links were working at the time I completed this Spaceport News Summary. The Spaceport News writer is acknowledged, if noted in the Spaceport News article. From The January 14, 2000, Spaceport News On pages 1 and 3, “Child-care facility gets an A”. Part of the article reads “Billie Abner, administrator for the Child Development Center (CDC), learned in early January that the facility had achieved accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
