Space Reporter's Handbook Mission Supplement CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement! Page 1 The CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook Mission Supplement Shuttle Mission STS-133/ISS-ULF5: International Space Station Assembly and Resupply Written and Produced By William G. Harwood CBS News Space Analyst [email protected] CBS News!!! 11/1/10 Page 2 ! CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement Revision History Editor's Note Mission-specific sections of the Space Reporter's Handbook are posted as flight data becomes available. Readers should check the CBS News "Space Place" web site in the weeks before a launch to download the latest edition: http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html DATE RELEASE NOTES 10/27/10 Updating flight plan, countdown; adding mission preview 10/21/10 Initial STS-133 release 10/30/10 Updating to reflect 11/3/10 launch target 11/01/10 Updating flight plan, television schedule Introduction This document is an outgrowth of my original UPI Space Reporter's Handbook, prepared prior to STS-26 for United Press International and updated for several flights thereafter due to popular demand. The current version is prepared for CBS News. As with the original, the goal here is to provide useful information on U.S. and Russian space flights so reporters and producers will not be forced to rely on government or industry public affairs officers at times when it might be difficult to get timely responses. All of these data are available elsewhere, of course, but not necessarily in one place. The STS-132 version of the CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook was compiled from NASA news releases, JSC flight plans, the Shuttle Flight Data and In-Flight Anomaly List, NASA Public Affairs and the Flight Dynamics office (abort boundaries) at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Sections of NASA's STS-132 press kit, crew bios and the mission TV schedule are downloaded via the Internet, formatted and included in this document. Word-for-word passages (other than lists) are clearly indicated. The SRH is a work in progress and while every effort is made to insure accuracy, errors are inevitable in a document of this nature and readers should double check critical data before publication. As always, questions, comments and suggestions for improvements are always welcome. And if you spot a mistake or a typo, please let me know! Written, Compiled and Edited By William G.

CBS News Space Reporter's Handbook - Mission Supplement NASA Media Information NASA Television Transmission NASA Television is now carried on an MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at 72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, vertical polarization. A Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) - compliant Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD) with modulation of QPSK/DBV, data rate of 36.86 and FEC 3/4 is needed for reception. NASA TV Multichannel Broadcast includes: Public Services Channel (Channel 101); the Education Channel (Channel 102) and the Media Services Channel (Channel 103). The new Digital NASA TV will have four digital channels: 1. NASA Public Service ("Free to Air"), featuring documentaries, archival programming, and coverage of NASA missions and events; 2. NASA Education Services ("Free to Air/Addressable"), dedicated to providing educational programming to schools, educational institutions and museums; 3. NASA Media Services ("Addressable"), for broadcast news organizations; and 4. NASA Mission Operations (Internal Only) The new digital NASA Public Service Channel will be streamed on the Web. All you'll need is access to a computer. You may want to check with your local cable or satellite service provider whether it plans to continue carrying the NASA Public Service "Free to Air" Channel. If your C-Band-sized satellite dish is capable of receiving digital television signals, you'll still need a Digital Video Broadcast (DVB)-compliant MPEG-2 Integrated Receiver Decoder, or IRD, to get the new Digital NASA's Public Service "Free to Air" Channel. An IRD that receives "Free to Air" programming like the new Digital NASA Public Service Channel can be purchased from many sources, including "off-the-shelf" at your local electronics store. The new Digital NASA TV will be on the same satellite (AMC 6) as current analog NASA TV, but on a different transponder (17). In Alaska and Hawaii, we'll be on AMC 7, Transponder 18. Satellite Downlink for continental North America: Uplink provider = Americom Satellite = AMC 6 Transponder = 17C 72 Degrees West Downlink frequency: 4040 Mhz Polarity: Vertical FEC = 3/4 Data Rate r= 36.860 Mhz Symbol = 26.665 Ms Transmission = DVB "Public" Programming: Program = 101, Video PID = 111, Audio PID = 114 "Education" Programming: Program = 102, Video PID = 121, Audio PID = 124 "Media"

  • Spring 2018 Undergraduate Law Journal
    SPRING 2018 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL The Final Frontier: Evolution of Space Law in a Global Society By: Garett Faulkender and Stephan Schneider Introduction “Space: the final frontier!” These are the famous introductory words spoken by William Shatner on every episode of Star Trek. This science-fiction TV show has gained a cult-following with its premise as a futuristic Space odyssey. Originally released in 1966, many saw the portrayed future filled with Space-travel, inter-planetary commerce and politics, and futuristic technology as merely a dream. However, today we are starting to explore this frontier. “We are entering an exciting era in [S]pace where we expect more advances in the next few decades than throughout human history.”1 Bank of America/Merrill Lynch has predicted that the Space industry will grow to over $2.7 trillion over the next three decades. Its report said, “a new raft of drivers is pushing the ‘Space Age 2.0’”.2 Indeed, this market has seen start-up investments in the range of $16 billion,3 helping fund impressive new companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX. There is certainly a market as Virgin Galactic says more than 600 customers have registered for a $250,000 suborbital trip, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry, Ashton Kutcher, and physicist Stephen Hawking.4 Although Space-tourism is the exciting face of a future in Space, the Space industry has far more to offer.

Lopez-Alegria, Pamela A. Melroy and Scott Kelly, who have all demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in furthering NASA’s mission of exploration and discovery, have been selected to receive one of the highest honors in their industry. This May, they will be inducted into the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame® at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and will join the just 99 individuals who currently hold that esteemed honor as the “First Class of the New Decade.” An official ceremony and gala will take place at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on May 16, 2020. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the majestic Space Shuttle Atlantis®, the ceremony will be attended by a roster of astronaut legends. Later that evening, the newest Hall of Fame members will be celebrated at a black-tie event hosted by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. “As we enter the year 2020, we are particularly excited to welcome these accomplished astronauts into the United States Astronaut Hall of Fame,” said Curt Brown, space shuttle astronaut and board chairman of the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, which oversees the selection process. “They exemplify bravery, dedication and passion and their hard work has paved the way for what promises to be an unprecedented new decade of space exploration and interplanetary travel.” Lopez-Alegria, Melroy and Kelly all have had distinguished careers, centered around their love of space and science: Capt.

Moore thought about putting his 1998 Bonneville sedan in cruise control. He had a long drive ahead on Interstate 90. Moore and Chapter Membership Director Ray Ortega Aldrich Photo by Linda S. set off on a three-hour road trip in May to present an Air Force Association AFROTC Medal to cadet Vyacheslav O. Ulanovskiy at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. To get there, Moore would put some 180 miles, one way, on the odometer—basically three-quarters of the way across Washington state. He’s been making this drive annually for the past six or seven years. “I know every rest stop,” he joked.
