Huge crowd greets giant Super Guppy & it's cargo, Space Shuttle trainer crew compartment at Museum of Flight

Posted on by

Astronauts Gregory Johnson, a West Seattle High School grad, and Bonnie Dunbar, pictured left, were greeted by a thrilled Gov. Gregoire after they piloted, then landed, the NASA Super Guppy cargo plane Saturday, June 30. It brought the Space Shuttle crew compartment portion of the full-fuselage trainer in its "belly" which separated. It can be seen at the museum's Charles Simonyi Space Gallery. We will update with a slideshow shortly.

Thousands of onlookers seemed thrilled as the NASA Super Guppy cargo plane, which appears to be about nine months pregnant, did a "fly-by" over Boeing Field by the Museum of Flight Saturday, June 30, heading north toward downtown Seattle before returning to land. Inside its giant belly sat the 24-foot-long Space Shuttle crew compartment portion of the full-fuselage trainer, or FFT, awaiting its public, and a permanent place in the museum's Charles Simonyi Space Gallery.

It will join other components and will then look like an entire Space Shuttle. It arrived from Travis AFB, Fairfield, Ca., landing at Boeing at about 12:15 p.m. after circling the city and Everett's Paine Field. Speeches were given following its landing. Then the Guppy's cargo body divided, exposing, then liberating, the trainer compartment. It was shuttled across East Marginal Way to the gallery.

The museum signed a Space Act Agreement during a brief January ceremony at the Houston Space Center, which transferred ownership of the trainer to the Seattle Museum of Flight. The Space Shuttle trainer was used to educate astronauts for the past three decades.

Giving speeches were Museum of Flight President and CEO Doug King, Board President Mike Hallman, Governor Christine Gregoire, Congressman Jim McDermott, Space Shuttle astronauts Gregory Johnson of West Seattle, Bonnie Dunbar of Sunnyside, Wa., and Dr. Janet Kavandi of Carthage, Missouri, who earned her doctorate at the University of Washington, and other dignitaries. The astronauts were the Super Guppy's pilots on Saturday's flight.

Steve Pool

KOMO weather forecaster Steve Pool, a museum board of trustee member for 20 years, emceed. On the podium, Pool took a bit of credit for the weather cooperating, then leaped up from his seat with good humor to apologize to the public when it began to lightly rain.

"It's a very big deal," Pool told the West Seattle Herald, referring to the museum's latest acquisition. "I go back to when we just had the great gallery and we've made such huge progress. I'm just thrilled."

Gov. Gregoire

"I have not seen it before," Gov. Gregoire told the West Seattle Herald, referring to the Super Guppy, looking amazed. "It is one of a kind. Look at the enthusiasm in the crowd."

Space Flight Authority names new leader

Posted on by

WALLOPS ISLAND -- The Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority has named a new executive director ahead of legislative changes aimed at boosting the group's efforts to promote commercial space activity, economic development and aerospace research at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport on Virginia's Eastern Shore.

Dale K. Nash, CEO of Alaska Aerospace, will take the helm beginning July 31, the authority's board of directors said Wednesday. He will replace Billie M. Reed, who has served as executive director since the authority was established in 1995 and has since worked with others to launch Virginia's space industry to one that contributes $7.6 billion in annual direct economic output and supports more than 28,000 jobs.

Nash has spent nearly 30 years in the aerospace industry and has been directly involved in more than 60 space shuttle flights throughout his career. He previously spent 14 years working on NASA's Space Shuttle/Human Space Flight programs as director of launch operations at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Nash's experience will be a "tremendous boost" as the authority works to become the top commercial space port in the U.S. and create much-needed economic development and jobs, said Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean T. Connaughton, whose office took oversight of the authority from the secretary of commerce and trade's office last year.

The MARS spaceport is one of only four that is licensed by the FAA to launch rockets into orbit, but there are more than a dozen states that are either active or interested in commercial space activity, half of which have state-owned space authorities. The Virginia governor's office wants the spaceport to help create highly skilled, high-paying jobs as part of a plan to generate economic development. Maryland and Virginia partnered in 2004 to enhance those economic development efforts.

A report commissioned by the Virginia Department of Transportation last year said the authority needs to undergo a series of changes if it wants to become more competitive with spaceports in other states. Among other things, the study called for turning the spaceport on Wallops Island into a multiuse facility and restructuring its board to make it more conducive for recruiting qualified personnel, business continuity or marketing its services.

The Virginia facility that provides launch facilities for public- and private-sector customers is at a crossroads and either needs to decide to stay with its historical strengths or "to participate in the 'new big commercial space' and incur the potential payoffs/associated risks of a new market," the report said.

Connaughton said that although it is evolving to small- and medium-lift orbital launches that will allow it to fulfill resupply needs for the International Space Station, the Eastern Shore launch site will concentrate on customers with small suborbital or scientific requirements rather than larger payload launches that traditionally take place in locations like Florida.

"We are going to focus all of our energies and resources on getting those customers who can take advantage of our location, our scheduling and our facilities," Connaughton said. "We are trying to maintain the foundation we have and use that to build additional jobs and economic development."

Predators Suter heads thin list of NHL free agents

Posted on by

Don't blink, because you just might miss what few splashes are anticipated to take place in NHL free agency.

After Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Suter and potentially New Jersey Devils captain Zach Parise, the list of marquee players expected to hit the market at noon Sunday thins quickly.

''It's very thin,'' Sabres general manager Darcy Regier said this week. ''The quality is there, the quantity isn't there.''

That's good for the players available because of the potential of driving up their asking price, but bad for Regier and the general managers competing against each other to fill their needs.

As Minnesota Wild GM Chuck Fletcher said this month: ''It's a good year to be a free agent.''

Suter is the current headliner after the player's agent, Neil Sheehy, confirmed Saturday that his client will test the market.

''I don't know where Ryan is going to sign,'' Sheehy told The Associated Press. ''I do know he's keeping Nashville in the mix, but he will hit free agency.''

That news isn't a surprise, given that Predators general manager David Poile was expecting that to happen. Poile still isn't ruling out the possibility of re-signing the hard-hitting seven-year veteran.

''In all the conversations we've had, he's made it very clear that he has nothing against Nashville,'' Poile said before last weekend's NHL draft. ''But he's gone this far, and the longer we talk, it appears he's going to take a look at July 1.''

Parise might follow, though the Devils are expected to make one last push to sign him.

A local Red Cross volunteer is heading into the danger zone in Colorado.

We caught up with Lisamarie Griffin Saturday as she was getting ready to fly out of Shreveport Regional Airport.

She tells us she'll be doing case work and finding out what the needs are of the people who have been affected by the wildfires.

"It's home for me," Griffin says. "I grew up in New Mexico, and I spent a lot of time in Colorado. So it's kind of like family for me. And anybody who's been affected by a wildfire, they need help. And my heart was just really pulled to go out there and donate some time."

Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online

NASA announced on Thursday that it completed another successful round of Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM) operations on the International Space Station.

The mission, which is a joint effort between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), is on track for a refueling demonstration in late summer 2012.

RRM is an external station experiment designed to demonstrate the technologies, tools, and techniques needed to robotically repair and refuel satellites in orbit.

Results from the mission are helping to reduce the risks associated with satellite servicing and bolstering for future robotic servicing missions.

Now that these tasks are complete, our eyes are now set on the RRM refueling demonstration and the eventual benefits that it will bring to the aerospace industry, Benjamin Reed, deputy project manager of the Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, said.

Repair and refueling technologies similar to the ones demonstrated by RRM could be used to extend the lifespan of existing satellites, support the assembly of large structures in orbit and mitigate orbital debris.

Every year, functional satellites providing weather, communications, and other essential services are retired because they have reached the end of their fuel supply, said Reed. We envision a future where refueling services extend the lifespan of these satellites and increase capacity for users and consumers. RRM is designed to prove this robotic refueling technology, and we are looking forward to practicing this task in late summer 2012.

Sri Lanka as a leading nanotechnology destination:

By Shirajiv SIRIMANE

Sri Lanka had been talking of introducing nanotechnology for almost 15 years; ministers had promised to build nano parks and provide other benefits to get such projects off the ground. However, very little attention had been paid to the matter.

A model of the Nanotechnology Centre in Homagama

Last Thursday, the much talked about and long overdue foundation stone for the 54-acre nanotechnology Centre of Excellence (NCE) was finally laid on Government land at Homagama.

Chairman Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (SLINTEC), Mahesh Amalean said the investment for the initial stage of the project is Rs 830 million. The nanotechnology park, funded by the Government and a few private sector entities, would enable companies to invest and develop their research centres incubation facilities and pilot plants in the environment of an advanced technology park.

This would help Sri Lanka to be positioned as a leading destination for nanotechnology, taking the country closer towards becoming the Wonder of Asia.

The second phase of the park will focus on the expansion of research and business development for the public and private sector in Sri Lanka and potential foreign direct investment from multinational corporations as well as SMEs through attractive incentives, terms and conditions.

One of Asias leading nano-scientists Dr Lalin Samaranayake told the Sunday Observer that Sri Lanka is sitting on a nanotechnology goldmine. It has not used its potential in the world market, he said

He said while Sri Lanka has the technology to reap economic benefits from nanotechnology in the island itself, the country only exports raw materials, giving all the benefits to the world. Sri Lanka sells nano raw materials such as graphite, silica, titanium dioxide and clay for various industries in the world and imports the finished products spending a lot of foreign currency.
