In this issue, we celebrate two space missions that demonstrated this trait in very different ways, as well as some future ones that will be the result of great tenacity. First up, his year marks the 50th anniversary of the flight of Apollo 13. Shortly after launch in April 1970, the spacecraft experienced a nearly catastrophic explosion of an oxygen tank on the Service Module. It was only through the calm responses of the crew and heroic levels of effort on the part of Mission Control that the astronauts were able to return to Earth alive despite the staggering odds against them. This was persistence in the extreme: focused determination to save the flight from disaster. Ben Evans’ tale of the rescue follows in these pages. A second anniversary celebrated in this issue is the Hubble Space Telescope’s 30th birthday. Launched on April 24, 1990, aboard the space shuttle Discovery, the telescope met misfortune immediately. Within weeks of its arrival in orbit, it became clear that the optics were flawed—the 8-foot (2.4-meter) mirror had been incorrectly formed (it was off by just 2,200 nanometers and only on the outer edge, but that was all it took), and the images were distorted. A solution was devised, and another shuttle mission in 1993 allowed astronauts to implant corrective optical elements into Finally, we see the persistence of the individual. These are the women the telescope, correcting the flaw. As Nancy Atkinson fighting for their proper place in spaceflight, whether in the past (see this tells us in her feature article, that mission resulted in a issue’s review of the new book Fighting for Space by Amy Shira Teitel) or in magnificent, decades-long program that changed how the upcoming lunar landing of the Artemis program. scientists understand the cosmos, and how the average On a sad note, the world has been beset by a tragic pandemic of citizen looks at (and appreciates) the heavens. unforeseen proportions.

Gazda5 NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, 77058 This paper continues the annual tradition, at this conference, of summarizing the results of chemical analyses performed on archival potable water samples returned from the International Space Station (ISS). 2016 represented a banner year for life aboard the ISS, including the successful conclusion for 2 crewmembers of a record 1-year mission. Water reclaimed from urine and/or humidity condensate remained the primary source of potable water for the crewmembers of ISS Expeditions 46-50. The year was also marked by the end of a long-standing tradition of U.S. sampling and monitoring of Russian Segment potable water sources. Two water samples, taken during Expedition 46 and returned on Soyuz 44 in March 2016, represented the final Russian Segment samples to be collected and analyzed by the U.S. side. Although anticipated for 2016, a rise in the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration of the product water from the U.S. water processor assembly due to breakthrough of organic contaminants from the system did not materialize, as evidenced

    PBS and Time Inc. Announce BEYOND A YEAR IN SPACE Part Two of the A YEAR IN SPACE Specials Premieres November 2017 PASADENA, CA; January 15, 2017 – PBS President and CEO Paula A. Kerger announced today at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour that BEYOND A YEAR IN SPACE, a follow-up documentary to 2016’s A YEAR IN SPACE special, is scheduled to premiere on PBS in November 2017 (watch a clip). The two specials, adapted from TIME’s original digital video series about astronaut Scott Kelly’s 12-month stay on the International Space Station (ISS), explore the human limitations for space travel and what a mission to Mars will require. BEYOND A YEAR IN SPACE picks up where the first film Top image: Astronaut Scott Kelly. left off: Scott Kelly’s last day in space and return to Earth. The final Credit: Andrey Alistratov.

BEYOND A YEAR IN SPACE tracks Scott Kelly’s homecoming after a historic year in space – the longest space mission in American history. In addition to seeing Scott’s long-awaited reunion with his family and friends at home in Texas, the film follows Scott and his identical twin brother, and fellow astronaut, Mark Kelly, as they undergo testing for NASA’s twin study. The twin study hopes to identify precisely what changes Scott underwent after 12 months aboard the ISS by comparing him to Mark, who spent the year on Earth.
