SPACEHAB Sees Opportunity in Space Florida's Launch Complex

SPACEHAB, Incorporated (NASDAQ:SPAB), and its Astrotech subsidiary, leading providers of commercial space services, join with Space Florida in recognizing the immense opportunities for America's commercial space program in the joint Air Force Space Command and Space Florida Dedication Ceremony of Launch Complex 36. The Ceremony marked the symbolic "groundbreaking" following the announcement by the Air Force Space Command of its commitment to commercial space and its intention to lease LC36 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station to Space Florida. The U.S. Air Force's official "intent to lease" the site to Space Florida includes the build-out of the launch pad to support multiple-customers and multi-vehicle configurations for commercial, civil and military customers.

Retired NASA Space Craft Operator Witnesses Extraterrestrial in Space Shuttle Mission

Clark McClelland is a retired Spacecraft Operator with NASA who during a 34 year career was responsible for ensuring the safety of numerous NASA missions including Mercury spaceflights, Apollo missions, the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle. In a statement released on his website on 29 July 2008, McClelland revealed that he witnessed an eight to nine foot tall extraterrestrial in association with a Space Shuttle mission he was monitoring from the Kennedy Space Center.

Aerojet Propulsion Assists NASA's STS-126 Launch to International Space Station

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aerojet, a GenCorp (NYSE: GY) company, used its propulsion to assist in the Space Shuttle Endeavour launch of its 15-day mission to deliver additional equipment and supplies to the International Space Station for resident crew expansion. Aerojet propulsion will also be used in on-orbit operations and during landing on this 27th shuttle mission to the Station. Atlantis roared into orbit tonight from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A. Aerojet's Orbital Maneuvering Engines, primary thrusters, gas generators and Vernier thrusters have flown on every space shuttle mission since the first Shuttle was launched in 1981. "We are proud of our 100 percent mission success record with the United States Space Shuttle," said Aerojet's Flight Production Director, David Carter.

NASA Updates Time for Space Shuttle Atlantis' Roll from Launch Pad

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA managers have adjusted the time for space shuttle Atlantis' rollback from Launch Pad 39A to the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Oct. 20, to 7 a.m. EDT. Atlantis is expected to be in the Vehicle Assembly Building by about 2 p.m. (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO ) NASA Television will provide live coverage of Atlantis' move off the pad beginning Monday at 6:30 a.m. Video highlights of the rollback will air on NASA TV Video File. Media are invited to a photo opportunity of the shuttle's move from the pad at 7 a.m. Monday, and must arrive at Kennedy's News Center by 6 a.m. for transportation to the viewing area.

Space Shuttle Endeavour Moves to Launch Pad 39B

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- For the first time since July 2001, two shuttles are on the launch pads at the same time at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Space shuttle Endeavour completed a 4.2-mile journey to Launch Pad 39B on Friday, Sept. 19, at 6:59 a.m. EDT. Endeavour left Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building at 11:15 p.m. Thursday, traveling at less than 1 mph atop a massive crawler-transporter. Endeavour will stand by at pad B in the unlikely event that a rescue mission is necessary during space shuttle Atlantis' upcoming mission to repair NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, targeted to launch Oct. 10. After Endeavour is cleared from its duty as a rescue spacecraft, it will be moved to Launch Pad 39A for the STS-126 mission to the International Space Station.

Space science missions possible through Constellation

A new report from the National Research Council, LAUNCHING SCIENCE: SCIENCE OPPORTUNITIES PROVIDED BY NASA'S CONSTELLATION PROGRAM, reviews science missions that would be uniquely suited to the new Constellation system of spacecraft being developed by NASA for human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit. The report evaluates 17 science mission concepts based on their potential to significantly advance a scientific field and therefore benefit from inclusion in the Constellation program. The report also provides preliminary cost estimates for each proposed mission and recommends which to pursue.

Hubble suffers failure, NASA delays shuttle launch

NASA to Discuss Hubble Anomaly and Servicing Mission Launch Delay

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA will host a media teleconference at 6 p.m. EDT today to discuss a significant Hubble Space Telescope anomaly that occurred this weekend affecting the storage and transmittal of science data to Earth. Fixing the problem will delay next month's space shuttle Atlantis' Hubble servicing mission. The briefing participants are: - Ed Weiler, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington - John Shannon, Shuttle Program manager at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston - Preston Burch, Hubble manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. To participate in the teleconference, reporters in the U.S. should call 1-800-369-6087 and use the pass code Hubble.

It's Official, Australia Needs a Space Agency

Dante_J writes "In the final report published by the Australian Senate inquiry into 'The Current State of Australia's Space Science & Industry Sector' entitled 'Lost in Space? Setting a new direction for Australia's space science and industry sector,' it calls for the formation of a 'Space Industry Advisory Council' to oversee the creation of a fully-fledged Australian Space Agency. Of the top 20 GDP nations, Australia is the only one without a Space Agency, which impacts on many aspects of ordinary life, not to mention Research and Engineering endeavors. Every satellite operated by Australia is owned by another party and the costs of this alone are comparable to that of a Space Agency. The report is a tidy piece that drew upon submissions form Andy Thomas, and an impressive collection of Australian Academics and Space Science entities fr

NASA space shuttle Endeavour roars into night sky

New York, Nov 15 (PTI) The United States' space shuttle Endeavour roared into the clear moonlit sky from the Kennedy Space Centre with a seven-member crew to repair and upgrade the International Space Station. The shuttle twin booster rockets were fired at 1955 last night (0630 IST today) which lifted the 2.04 million kg shuttle into the sky with blinding light and defending roar.

SPACE: Chinese Space Walkers Stalk The Space Station

November 3, 2008: On September 27th, a Chinese Shenzhou space capsule came within 45 kilometers of the International Space Station, and two of the three crewmen made the first Chinese space walk (going outside the spacecraft in their space suits.) Later, a small, 88 pound microsatellite (the BX-1) was released from the Shenzhou. This was supposed to be a science experiment, but the fact that the Shenzhou came so close to the International Space Station, and then released a smaller, maneuverable (via small gas jets) BX-1, indicated another satellite destruction drill. The BX-1 could easily have been directed at the nearby space station, and destroyed it.
