Pssp History History of Partner School Science Program The year-long Partner School Science Program connects teachers and their students in different countries via space education to motivate students to increase their knowledge of math and science. Collaborative projects via e-mail and videoconferencing are intended to promote cross-cultural understanding and friendship. Since its inception in 2002, PSSP has partnered 28 schools from Turkey, 30 schools from the United States, England, Israel, Poland, Bulgaria, and Lithuania. More than 6750 students, teachers and principals have worked together to develop science-related projects and global friendship.

Some were able meet their E-Pals during a unique six-day summer program at Space Camp Turkey called E- Pal Week. During the E-Pal Weeks, that have been held every summer since the start of the program, students and teachers were able to meet and talk with NASA astronauts, cosmonauts, and listen to interesting guest speakers. Also on a couple of occasions (2003 and 2004), students were able to ask questions directly to the astronauts on the International Space Station via teleconference. Last but not least, the highlight of every summer, students get the unique experience of working with other students and making friends from many different countries. E-Pal Week Highlights: 2018 – E-pal Week 151 students and 18 teachers from 9 countries, including Poland, the United Kingdom, Lithuania and the United States, participated in the 16th Partner School Science Program (PSSP), also known as the E-PAL Week, held on July 1-7 2018. The most important event of the week was the videoconference session with NASA Flight Director, Ed Van Cise. Students received the latest information regarding NASA's space operations and International Space Station flight operations during the videoconference. 2017 – E-pal Week During the E­pal Week, which held on July 2­8, we had videoconference sessions with ESA Astronaut Jean­Francois Clervoy and NASA Flight Director Robert Dempsey. They shared their experiences and answered various questions asked by our campers. Also, Major Michael Coyne made a presentation about "Space Weather" and informed our campers about the conditions on the Sun. 2016 – E-pal Week Sunita L. Williams was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1998 and is a veteran of two space missions Expeditions 14/15 and 32/33. Selected as an astronaut by NASA in June 1998, she reported for training in August 1998. Astronaut Candidate Training included orientation briefings and tours, numerous scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in shuttle and International Space Station systems, physiological training and ground school to prepare for T-38 flight training, as well as learning water and wilderness survival techniques.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ASTRONAUTS, EXPERTS, AND SPACE AGENCIES DISCUSS ASTEROIDS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND RISKS ON ASTEROID DAY, 30 JUNE LUXEMBOURG, 22 June 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Asteroid Foundation returns with Asteroid Day LIVE ​ ​ ​ Digital from Luxembourg. This year, the event is a fully digital celebration of asteroid science and exploration. Panel discussions and one-on-one interviews with astronauts and world experts will be broadcast on 30 June 2020. Each year Asteroid Day presents the public with a snap-shot of cutting-edge asteroid research from the largest ​ telescopes on Earth to some of the most ambitious space missions. Topics of discussion this year include the ​ acceleration in the rate of our asteroid discoveries and why it is set to accelerate even faster, the imminent arrival of samples from asteroid Ryugu and Bennu, the exciting preparations for the joint US-Europe mission to binary asteroid Didymos, and much more. Asteroids are the leftover remnants of the birth of the planets in the Solar System, and many are the shattered fragments of these diminutive proto-planets that never made it to maturity. “Asteroid exploration missions tell ​ us about the birth of our own planet and reveal how asteroids can serve astronauts as stepping stones to Mars,” says Tom Jones, PhD, veteran astronaut and planetary scientist, and Asteroid Day Expert Panel ​ member. Each asteroid is an individual with its own story to tell. And that’s what Asteroid Day is all about: bringing those stories to the widest audience possible. “Space and science have been an endless source of inspiration ​ for SES! This is one of the reasons why we and our partners continue to do extraordinary things in space to deliver amazing experiences everywhere on earth,” says Ruy Pinto, Chief Technology Officer at SES.

  • CHRONOLOGY of WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013
    CHRONOLOGY OF WAKEUP CALLS Compiled by Colin Fries, NASA History Division Updated 12/26/2013 The idea for the Wakeup Call chronology arose as a result of my dual interests in the history of music and the space program. I discovered as soon as I began working as an archivist at the NASA History Office that there was no complete list of these calls sent from Mission Control. There have always been inquiries about flown items and mission events as we all know, and those about wakeup calls and music played in space encompassed a steady stream (no pun intended)! And NASA’s Web pages did provide audio for these calls beginning with STS-85 with the note that: “Wakeup calls are a longstanding tradition of the NASA program” -- yet nothing on when it started. One of the most frequent inquiries was and still is – What was the first wakeup call? (I later learned that it was “Hello Dolly” sent during Gemini 6). So with the blessing of the history staff I began compiling a chronology using the sources in the NASA Historical Reference Collection here at NASA Headquarters. The Space Shuttle portion of the Chronology proved to be the most challenging since the Johnson Space Center Audio Control Room Recorder Log began with STS-80. In 2005, I was able to visit JSC Public Affairs and make copies from their query books to fill in the gap. Still there were Space Shuttle wakeup calls, even entire missions, that remained elusive. The other sources that I used are listed at the end of this PDF.
