Cord Blood Banking Leader, Cryo-Cell International, Continues to Support the Advancement of Regenerative Medicine

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) January 06, 2015

One million Americans experience acute myocardial infarctions, commonly known as a heart attack, each year and of those, approximately 300,000 to 500,000 individuals develop heart failure. A heart attack occurs when blood stops flowing properly to a part of the heart and the heart muscle is injured and can die because it is not receiving enough oxygen.

Cryo-Cell International has agreed to provide the Center with cord blood collections that have previously been donated to Cryo-Cell International by parents and designated for research use to advance regenerative medicine. These cord blood collections will allow the Centers scientists to continue to investigate the mechanisms whereby stem cells can be beneficial in limiting damage from heart attacks. A team at the Center, led by researcher and cardiology specialist, Robert J. Henning, M.D., has demonstrated in research animals that stem cells obtained from human umbilical cord blood can release a large number of biologically active growth factors and anti-inflammatory chemicals that can limit the substantial heart inflammation, cell injury and cell destruction that occurs with acute heart attacks, significantly reducing the effects of heart attacks, even when administered up to 24 hours after the heart attack.

We are making good progress in our studies thanks to the cord blood stem cells contributed by Cryo-Cell International, reports Henning.

Cryo-Cell International and others have demonstrated that human umbilical cord blood stem cells can be preserved for more than 20 years without loss of cell viability or potency. Consequently, parents who have the foresight to use cord blood banking services upon their babys birth can potentially use these cord blood stem cells years later to provide a regenerative treatment for a family member if an acute heart attack occurs. The Centers scientists hope to bring umbilical cord blood stem cell therapy to the treatment of patients who have experienced heart attacks within the next five years.

Heart disease is still the number one leading cause of death in the United States. We feel very fortunate that we can provide a valuable and consistent source of cord blood banked stem cells to the Center for Cardiovascular Research, said David Portnoy, Chairman and Co-CEO of Cryo-Cell International.

Lenten Reflections guides readers through 40-day spiritual journey

Posted on by

ATHENS, Ga. (PRWEB) January 06, 2015

Author Milton E. Lopes goes beyond the usual collection of Lenten readings and devotions with his new book, Lenten Reflections: From the Desert to the Resurrection (published by WestBow Press), which takes readers on a 40-day exploration of spirituality for readers serious about improving their relationship with God.

This book will prove useful to those for whom spirituality is central to their being, Lopes says, for those who find little solace in simply giving up chocolate or some other pleasurable item during Lent.

Written for the mature and discerning layperson, Lenten Reflections begins with a journey through Lents theological and historical roots. This is followed by a reflection on the discipline needed to pass through the Lenten desert of fasting, prayer and penance on the journey to spiritual wholeness. Lopes sets out to rekindle in his readers the divine spark of the Holy Spirit by providing a perspective of spirituality that is challenging yet true to the teachings and example of Jesus.

True spirituality demands that we become mindful of our sinfulness and undergo a metanoia or a turning away from sin, Lopes says. Over the centuries, the Lenten season has proven to be a time of growth and renewal. This timely and practical guide to turning away from sin and realizing our highest purpose will help readers experience the merciful love of God and his healing grace.

GAO denies Sierra Nevadas legal challenge of NASA space contract

Posted on by

The Government Accountability Office on Monday denied Sierra Nevada Corp.s challenge to a major NASA contract to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station, saying the agency acted properly in issuing the $6.8 billion award last year.

Last fall, NASA awarded contracts to Boeing and SpaceX to launch a series of missions that would allow the United States, for the first time since the space shuttle was retired three years ago, to launch astronauts into space from U.S. soil.

The so-called commercial crew contract would end U.S. reliance on Russia, which has been taking American astronauts to the space station at a cost of more than $70million a trip.

Boeings contract is worth as much as $4.2 billion; SpaceX, which said it could perform the work for far less, was awarded a contract valued at $2.6 billion.

In its filed protest, Sierra Nevada said that there had been serious questions and inconsistencies in the source selection process. Its own proposal was the second-lowest-priced, it argued, while it achieved mission suitability scores comparable to the other two proposals.

The company argued that by using its own special vehicle, the government could have saved up to $900 million.

Unlike SpaceX and Boeing, which would use capsules to dock to the space station, Sierra Nevada proposed using a reusable miniature shuttle, or space plane, called the Dream Chaser. The craft provides a wider range of capabilities and value, Sierra Nevada had said.

In announcing the GAO decision, Ralph White, the agencys managing associate general counsel, said that NASA recognized Boeings higher price but also considered Boeings proposal to be the strongest of all three proposals in terms of technical approach, management approach and past performance, and to offer the crew transportation system with most utility and highest value to the government.

The agency also found several favorable features in Sierra Nevadas proposal, but ultimately concluded that SpaceXs lower price made it a better value.

Sierra Nevada is still evaluating the decision, the company said in a statement Monday. While the outcome was not what SNC expected we maintain our belief that the Dream Chaser spacecraft is technically very capable, reliable and was qualified to win based on NASAs high ratings of the space system.

SpaceX postpones rocket launch due to 'actuator drift' problem

Posted on by

SpaceX called off its early morning rocket launch to the International Space Station, citing a last minute malfunction.

NASA said the SpaceX team had detected an actuator drift, causing the launch to be scrubbed. The next possible launch time is Friday at 2:09 a.m. Pacific time.

The launch byElon Musk's SpaceX could ultimately be most notable for what happens as it returns to Earth.

Besides delivering 5,000 pounds of food, equipment and experiments to the space station, SpaceX engineers are planning to attempt what has never been done. Instead of letting the rocket's towering first stage disintegrate upon reentry to the atmosphere, they plan to land it on a barge floating in the ocean.

The rocket was originally scheduled for liftoff at 3:20 a.m. Pacific time Tuesday from Cape Canaveral, Fla. It's the first such mission since Oct. 28, when a supply ship that another company, Orbital Sciences, was operating for NASA exploded just seconds after leaving the launchpad.

Typically, the rocket's first stage, which includes the engines needed to blast it to space, is allowed to fall back to Earth after separating from its payload. After burning up in the atmosphere, it lands in pieces in the ocean or remote places.

But Musk wants to land the 14-story first stage, which includes nine engines, and reuse it on a future flight.

If successful, the feat could transform space travel by sharply lowering the cost.

"To say it would be revolutionary is absolutely true," said Charles Lurio, a Boston-based space analyst who publishes the Lurio Report. "It could be a race toward the bottom in terms of cost."

The space shuttle was reusable, Lurio said, but it was extraordinarily expensive to rebuild and refurbish once it was back on Earth.

SpaceX calls off launch to space station at last minute

Posted on by

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft sits at launch complex 40 after an attempted early morning launch was scrubbed due to technical issues at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Fla. on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015. The countdown was halted with just over a minute remaining until launch. (AP Photo/Terry Renna) ( Terry Renna )

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- SpaceX called off a supply flight to the International Space Station on Tuesday because of rocket trouble, another delay in the delivery of groceries and overdue Christmas presents.

The countdown was halted just over a minute before launch when a steering mechanism in the rocket malfunctioned -- "behaving strangely," as SpaceX chief Elon Musk noted via Twitter.

The soonest SpaceX can try again to launch the unmanned Falcon rocket is Friday morning, provided it can quickly fix the problem.

NASA took the latest shipment delay in stride, while the company faced three more days of anxious waiting for its unprecedented rocket-landing test -- attempting to fly back the main booster to a platform in the ocean.

The Dragon capsule is loaded with more than 5,000 pounds of food, science experiments and equipment for an upcoming series of spacewalks, as well as belated holiday surprises for the six station astronauts. The station pantry took a hit when another company's supply ship was destroyed in a launch explosion a few months ago.

Space station commander Butch Wilmore said the six crew members ran out of condiments a month ago, and he's yearning for some yellow mustard to spice up the food. He and his crewmates were watching the launch countdown just before sunrise live via a video feed from Mission Control in Houston.

"Certainly, there's a little bit of disappointment because it had fresh fruit and those types of things that we're all interested in getting," Wilmore said in an interview with The Associated Press after the postponement. "But they'll get off the ground here in a couple of days and it will all be great."

SpaceX officials said one of two motors needed for rocket thrust steering of the second stage was moving when it should have been still. If controllers had not aborted the launch, computers likely would have done so closer to flight time, officials said.

Once the Dragon is on its way, the California-based company will try to fly the first-stage booster rocket to a platform in the Atlantic. No one has ever pulled off such a touchdown. Normally, the boosters are discarded at sea.

Student Scientists Persevere, Ready to Launch Experiments to Space Station

Posted on by

Students will look to the skies this week when SpaceX's fifth commercial resupply services (CRS) mission to the International Space Station lifts off at 6:20 a.m. EST Tuesday, Jan. 6, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft will carry scientific research conceived and designed by students who are learning first-hand what it takes to conduct research in space.

Eighteen Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) teams worked to prepare the investigations in time to fly to the space station. The teams previously had their research aboard Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket, which suffered a failure during launch in October.

"I try to teach students, when I speak to them, not to be afraid of failure. An elementary school student once told me, when I asked for a definition of success, that success is taking failure and turning it inside out. It is important that we rebound, learn from these events and try again -- and that's a great lesson for students," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "I am delighted that most of the students will get to see their investigations re-flown on tomorrows SpaceX mission. Perseverance is a critical skill in science and the space business."

SSEP managers and supporters worked to ensure the students' experiments were prepared and ready for the next available launch. The student experiments were rebuilt and shipped to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for stowage aboard SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, destined for the space station.

"Failure happens in science, and what we do in the face of that failure defines who we are," said Jeff Goldstein, director of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education, which oversees SSEP in partnership with NanoRacks LLC and, for international participation, the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education. "NASA and NanoRacks moved mountains to get us on the next launch, SpaceX CRS-5. We faced an insanely tight turnaround, but all the student teams stepped up to the plate."

This unplanned lesson in real-world science fits with SSEP's goal of immersing and engaging students and their teachers in conducting authentic space science, just like professional investigators.

The student experiments will investigate a range of topics from a crystal growth study that will enable students to learn more about how fluids act and form into crystals in the absence of gravity to how microgravity affect milk spoilage. This set of student experiments collectively is known as Yankee Clipper and is the eighth flight opportunity associated with the SSEP.

The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), manager of the U.S. National Laboratory on the space station, is a national sponsor for SSEP and funds nine of the Yankee Clipper investigations. Additionally, CASIS is committed to re-flying six student experiments from its National Design Challenge program that were lost with Antares.

SpaceX aborts Tuesday space station flight, booster landing try

Posted on by

The mission patch for SpaceX's fifth operational space station resupply flight, a mission that will feature an unprecedented attempt to autonomously land the first stage of the Falcon 9 booster on a remotely-operated barge stationed east of Jacksonville. The test is a major step in the company's long-range plans to reduce launch costs by recovering and reusing rocket hardware. SpaceX

Last Updated Jan 6, 2015 6:36 AM EST

SpaceX engineers made final preparations Monday for the planned Tuesday launch of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo ship loaded with more than 5,200 pounds of supplies, equipment and science gear bound for the International Space Station. But the launch attempt was aborted shortly before the scheduled liftoff.

The next target time is Friday at 9 a.m. EST.

The company was also going to attempt to land the booster's first stage on an off-shore barge, a key element in founder Elon Musk's long-range plans to lower costs by recovering, refurbishing and re-flying rocket hardware.

"We are extremely interested in the success of this flight in terms of getting cargo to the ISS," station Program Manager Mike Suffredini said. "But as an agency, we're also extremely proud of our affiliation with SpaceX and very excited about the steps they take to further spaceflight in general and reduce the cost."

Hans Koenigsmann, vice president of mission assurance for SpaceX, stressed that while the landing test was an important goal for the company's long-range plans, "the main mission is absolutely to get cargo to the station and to make sure the station's supply (chain) is steady and stable and reliable."

Running three weeks late because of now-resolved problems encountered during an engine test firing last month, the 208-foot-tall Falcon 9 was scheduled for liftoff from complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 6:20:29 a.m. EST (GMT-5) Tuesday, roughly the moment Earth's rotation moves the booster into the plane of the space station's orbit. Forecasters predicted a 70 percent chance of acceptable weather.

It will be the company's fifth operational resupply mission under a $1.6 billion contract with NASA calling for 12 flights. It will be the first U.S. station supply flight since an Orbital Sciences Antares booster exploded seconds after liftoff Oct. 28, destroying a Cygnus cargo ship making the company's third flight under a separate $1.9 billion contract.

Orbital's Antares rocket is now grounded pending a switch to different engines, leaving SpaceX as NASA's only provider of U.S.-based resupply services. The Russians also launch supplies using unmanned Progress cargo ships and larger Japanese HTV supply ships fly once every year or so. Three Progress launches are planned between now and early August, along with an HTV launch on Aug. 17.

SpaceX Scrubs Launch to ISS

Posted on by

With one minute left on the countdown, SpaceX scrubbed its flight to the International Space Station this morning because of rocket trouble.

Elon Musk, CEO of the private space flight company that is contracted by NASA, tweeted that the next attempt for the history-making mission will be Friday at 5 a.m.

This SpaceX launch is particularly special from the rest because the company will attempt to land the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket on an ocean platform, a tricky maneuver that has a 50 percent chance of succeeding.

Once the Falcon 9 rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, it will be headed to the International Space Station with 5,000 pounds of goodies and critical supplies for the astronauts who will be receiving their belated Christmas packages from family and friends back on Earth.

This will be the fifth launch to the space station for the private company that is filling in the gap for NASA with cargo deliveries that were slowed down when the Space Shuttle quit flying.

SpaceX also is in the running, along with Boeing, to get U.S. astronauts off the Russian Soyuz and back on a U.S.-built spacecraft. NASA would like both companies to meet a 2017 deadline, when the current transportation contract with Russia expires.

The Falcon 9 first stage landing will be a nail-bite: It's 14 stories tall and will be hurtling into space then back down to Earth attempting a pinpoint landing on a floating platform. This certainly wont be easy but SpaceX needs to demonstrate its capability and the reusability of its rockets, and this is a spectacular way to do it.

This experiment is important to SpaceX but the cargo is more important to NASA. Last years failure of Orbitals Antares Cygnus, which was carrying critical cargo to the Space Station, has increased the need for the cargo Space X is now delivering.

The cargo includes critical materials for science and research plus replacement parts for the Space Station toilet, along with personal items and fresh food for the astronauts.

When Dragon returns to Earth it will bring back experiments, and trash. No curbside trash pickup in orbit!

SpaceX scrubs space station supply flight at last minute

Launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying a Dragon cargo ship loaded with more than 5,100 pounds of equipment and supplies bound for the International Space Station was called off Tuesday less than two minutes before liftoff because of apparent problems with the second stage engine steering system.

Trouble with a second stage actuator assembly apparently cropped up last month during or in the wake of a first-stage engine test firing, sources said. The test firing was cut short, presumably because of a problem with the first stage propulsion system. SpaceX, in keeping with company policy, did not provide any details.

In any case, launch eventually was delayed three weeks to allow time for a second test firing, to give the SpaceX launch team a break for the Christmas holidays and to allow temperature constraints related to the station's orbit to improve.

Sources said the suspect actuator assembly, one of two used to move the second stage engine nozzle for steering, was examined and given a clean bill of health. The Falcon 9's first- and second-stage systems performed normally during the second countdown and test firing, setting the stage for Tuesday's launch try.

A SpaceX spokesman said Tuesday, after the abort, that he could not address the engine test firing issue or provide any details about the second-stage steering system actuator. A senior SpaceX manager, asked about the test firing problem during a news conference Monday, did not provide any additional details other than saying the issue, whatever it was, had been resolved.

In a brief statement Tuesday, the company spokesman said only that during the terminal countdown "engineers observed drift on one of the two thrust vector actuators on the second stage that would likely have caused an automatic abort. Engineers called a hold in order to take a closer look."

Company founder Elon Musk said in a Twitter posting: "Need to investigate the upper stage Z actuator. Was behaving strangely. Next launch attempt on Friday."

Launch preparations went smoothly early Tuesday and the countdown ticked cleanly through fueling operations toward a planned liftoff at 6:20 a.m. (GMT-5). There were no known technical problems and the weather cooperated with fair conditions.

Then at T-minus one minute and 21 seconds, a SpaceX controller called a hold on the countdown audio net. To reach the space station, the rocket had to launch almost directly into the plane of the lab's orbit, an "instantaneous" launch window that left no margin for delay.

SpaceX To Test Reusable Rocket With Daring Drone Ship Landing Today

Posted on by

SpaceX is starting this year with a major step in one of its most ambitious projects, which could fundamentally change the economics of space-flight the reusable rocket that lands on its legs.

There are just a few reusable spacecraft in circulation at the moment, of which the SpaceX Dragon is one, and with good reason. The stresses of spaceflight are arduous enough, but its the re-entry into Earths atmosphere and subsequent landing somewhere that really trips the engineers up.

So far, the only way to successfully rescue a spacecraft has been to let it crash as gently as possible into an ocean to be recovered by waiting ships or have it land like an aeroplane, as with the Space Shuttle.

But Elon Musks SpaceX wants to take things a bit further. The tech entrepreneurs space venture will be boosting its fifth cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station tomorrow and when it does, it plans to attempt the precision landing of the Falcon 9 first stage rocket at the same time.

SpaceX reusable rocket is a key feature of its ambitions to build the craft that will take the first people to Mars Mars and its also a technology that could revolutionise space travel, by making it so much cheaper.

The rocket is the most expensive bit of kit involved in a launch and its basically blown up to boost its payload into space, with whatevers left ejected into Earths orbit to clutter the place up with space debris or drift back to a fiery death in Earths atmosphere.

The Falcon 9, which has already had two successful soft water landings, will try something brand new, landing on legs on a custom-built ocean platform known as the autonomous spaceport drone ship.

SpaceX is only giving this first test of the technology a 50/50 chance of success, because theres a lot to get through before it touches down on that platform.

In order to land the 14-storey tall rocket precisely, the team needs to both stabilise it and slow it down, something the firm compares to .
