STS116-S-001 (July 2006) --- The STS-116 patch design signifies the continuing assembly of the International Space Station (ISS). The primary mission objective is to deliver and install the P5 truss element. The P5 installation will be conducted during the first of three planned spacewalks, and will involve use of both the shuttle and station robotic arms. The remainder of the mission will include a major reconfiguration and activation of the ISS electrical and thermal control systems, as well as delivery of Zvezda Service Module debris panels, which will increase ISS protection from potential impacts of micro-meteorites and orbital debris. In addition, a single expedition crewmember will launch on STS-116 to remain onboard the station, replacing an expedition crewmember that will fly home with the shuttle crew. The crew patch depicts the space shuttle rising above the Earth and ISS. The United States and Swedish flags trail the orbiter, depicting the international composition of the STS-116 crew. The seven stars of the constellation Ursa Major are used to provide direction to the North Star, which is superimposed over the installation location of the P5 truss on ISS. The NASA insignia design for shuttle space flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and 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 is not anticipated, such will be publicly announced. | |

NASA senior managers wrapped up the two-day flight readiness review on Nov. 29 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. At a press conference immediately following the review, William Gerstenmaier, NASA Associate Administrator for Space Operations, announced Dec. 7 as the launch date for the STS-116 mission to the International Space Station.

Gerstenmaier was joined at the briefing by Space Shuttle Program Manager Wayne Hale and Launch Director Mike Leinbach. Hale pointed out that the launch team had been asked to aim for a launch on Dec. 7 rather than the original target date of Dec. 14.
"I am as proud of the team as I could be for advancing the date, but even more proud of them for doing the work properly and making sure we are safe," Hale commented.
"From the processing perspective we feel really, really good about Dec. 7," Leinbach agreed.
The Shuttle Mission Management Team conducts the review two weeks prior to the opening of the launch window for each space shuttle mission. The group thoroughly evaluates all activities and elements necessary for the safe and successful performance of shuttle mission operations -- from the prelaunch phase through post-landing -- including the readiness of the vehicle, flight crew and payloads.
The launch window for the STS-116 mission extends through Dec. 17. The seven-member flight crew will arrive for launch at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility the afternoon of Dec. 3. Primary payloads on the 12-day mission are the P5 integrated truss segment, SPACEHAB single logistics module and an integrated cargo carrier. The STS-116 mission will be the 20th flight to the station.

خاطرات يک فضانورد
فضا، هواشناسي ، زلزله
|
تحمل يک قطعه بتون 300 کيلويي! ايگور تمام حسهايي را که به عنوان يک فضانورد در فضا تجربه کرده بود، با تجربيات زميني براي مهمانان مثال مي زد. به گفته او، اولين مرحله زماني است که موشک پرتاب مي شود. در اين مرحله فشار و بار زيادي بر فرد وارد مي شود که اگر بخواهيم اين حس را تجربه کنيم ، مي توانيم يک قطعه بتون 200 تا 300 کيلويي را روي خود قرار دهيم. در چنين حالتي بسختي مي توان نفس کشيد. در مرحله بعد تصور مي کنيد تمام خون بدنتان وارد سر و مغز شده است که براي رسيدن به اين تجربه هم مي توانيد به صورت معکوس آويزان شويد. چنين حسي در تمام مدت پرواز با شماست. تجربه بعدي هم بي وزني است که فقط مي توانيد آن را به مدت 30 ثانيه و در آزمايشگاه هايي خاص تجربه کنيد. آخرين مرحله هم فرود نرم است که اگر با فشار زيادي روي جايي نرم هل داده شويد، آن را احساس خواهيد کرد. |
