Cosmonaut clocks up record time in space
by Maggie McKee, 16 August 2005
• Russian breaks time-in-space record

The current International Space Station commander (2005), Sergei Krikalev, has set a new record for the most cumulative time in space - logging a total of 748 days in orbit on Tuesday. His repeated exposure to the physical and psychological stresses of long-duration spaceflight ranks him among the most resilient space-farers in history.
Krikalev, who was born in Leningrad, Russia, in 1958, won the top national prize for daredevil aerobatic flying in 1986 and later received numerous international honours, including "Hero of Russia", for his spaceflights. He flew twice to the Russian space station Mir - once staying on for back-to-back tours for a total of 10 months when one of the subsequent two flights to Mir was cancelled. He also flew on the first joint US-Russian space shuttle mission in 1994, the first mission to assemble the International Space Station in 1998 and was a member of the first crew to live onboard the ISS in 2000.

He is now acting as commander of the space station in a six-month stint that began on 14 April. During this mission, he and fellow ISS crew member John Phillips hosted the seven-person crew of the space shuttle Discovery and photographed the orbiter for signs of damage as it approached the station. "He's a very impressive cosmonaut," says Jay Buckey, an associate professor of medicine at Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, New Hampshire, US, who flew on the space shuttle Columbia for 16 days in 1998. "He's been called upon at various times because of his reputation." Continued...

Re: Space and Space Travel News
• Sigmund Jähn, the first German in space • GDR Photo of S. Jähn"On 26th August 1978, when the space ship Soyuz 31 took off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, a citizen of the GDR (German Democratic Republic) became a megastar despite himself: it was Sigmund Jähn. Anyone who was able to follow the 189 hour space flight from 26th August to 3rd September 1978 will remember the great surge of excitement as if it were only yesterday.
The first German in space! The development of Jähn’s career followed a normal, though not quite every day path in the GDR. Sigmund was born on 13th February 1937 in the Vogtland, the son of a sawmill worker and a seamstress. As a youngster, Jähn originally wished to be an engine driver or a forester, but then learned the printing trade. In 1955 he volunteered for the armed forces, passed out of the officer training school and became a pilot (1958) and leader of a fighter squadron (1963). He studied at the Soviet Military Academy at Monino near Moscow (1966 to 1970) and from 1970 onwards he held various positions of responsibility in the East German Air Force. How did the flying Vogtlander get into space travel? In July 1976 the Soviet Union invited the socialist states that were involved in the Intercosmos programme to take part in manned flights to the Salyut Space Station. Two months later, on 14th September 1976, it was decided to carry out manned Intercosmos missions over a five-year period from 1978 to 1983.
The costs incurred were largely borne by the Soviet Union. The participating states were to upgrade the equipment of the Salyut Space Station by means of challenging national scientific experiments and high-value on-board equipment. Immediately after this decision was taken, the GDR started to look for suitable candidates. Important selection criteria were: fighter pilot, unlimited flying capabilities and knowledge of Russian. In October 1976. 16 fighter pilots were selected from the National People’s Army as cosmonaut candidates. At the Institute for Space Medicine in Königsbrück near Dresden, the candidates for space travel were again weeded out. From now on the short-list got progressively smaller. Four out of the original 16 flew to Moscow for the final selection in November 1976.
• Baikonur Cosmodrome- The Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is the launch complex where Sputnik 1, Earth's first artificial satellite, was launched. The rocket that lifted Yuri Gagarin, the first human in orbit, was also launched from Baikonur. In fact, all Russian crewed missions are launched from Baikonur, as well as all geostationary, lunar, planetary and ocean surveillance missions. All space station flights using Russian launch vehicles will be launched from Baikonur. Baikonur is also the only Russian launch site capable of launching the Proton launch vehicle, which was used for Zarya, the first element launch of the ISS. (more)
These were Rolf Berger, Eberhard Golbs, Sigmund Jähn and Eberhard Köllner. After the final short list in the GDR, the first Russian selection procedures started. At astronaut city near to Moscow Soviet specialists in space medicine, psychology and education at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre carried out two weeks of intensive tests and trials with the candidates. On 4th December the result was obtained: Sigmund Jähn and Eberhard Köllner went through to the decisive next round. Both were fully aware that only one of them would be able to realise his dream of space flight. However who that was to be was not decided until just before the actual launch. Almost 20 months of training to become fully-fledged cosmonauts had already begun on 6th December 1976. Together with their Soviet commanders they formed two teams who went through the training in parallel: Valery Bykovski with Sigmund Jähn and Victor Gorbatko with Eberhard Köllner. It was clear from this that the decision on who was to fly would not be made between individuals but between the two teams. The moment of truth came the day before lift-off.
• Russia's former Salyut Space StationOn the evening of 25th August 1978 the State Commission announced the crew and reserve crew for the flight of Suyuz 31. On the next day Sigmund Jähn who was 1.72 m tall went down in the annals of space travel as the 90th astronaut in the world, Intercosmonaut No. 3 and the first German in the space. The rest is history. When the reunification came in 1990 citizen Jähn was discharged. People jealous of his position tried to make his life difficult with patently invented claims. That was not prejudicial to his popularity. On the contrary, despite cosmic flight and earthly disturbances, he always remained what he was: a lovable, straightforward, simple man of the people without any of the airs and graces of stardom, who never lost the gift of wonderment and joy in the many small pleasures in life.
He was a “just a normal person”, genuine and unassuming. That was also how the public saw him. However in the public relations field he had an ambivalent relationship with the public. He appeared only to accept honours if they could not be avoided. If it were up to him, his anniversary would not be celebrated. Anxiety about “cashing in”, modesty, or perhaps both? After reunification his abilities were in demand as an interpreter, trainer and adviser on European space flights with German and European astronauts to the Russian Space Station MIR. All the “newcomers” went through the Jähn school. He quickly advanced to become one of the best-known in both East and West and most indispensable mediators, an esteemed “man for all seasons” in all conceivable questions involving space.
• The first Romanian in space (1981)Sigmund Jähn is one of the joint founders of the international association of astronauts who have orbited the earth, the ASE, which provides a platform for a world wide exchange of information among this small but important group. Today the “Nestor” of German manned space flight has established a permanent place not only in the new Germany but also in a Europe that is growing ever more integrated. Sigmund Jähn, this former citizen of the GDR has become an institution for space travel and humanity, acknowledged equally by both East and West. Since lst March 2002 Sigmund Jähn has been officially retired. However anyone who knows him, also knows that retirement is not for Sigmund. Not only his wife and two daughters but his four grandsons also will see to that. His advice and mediation services between earth and the cosmos are still in demand. -- Torsten Gemsa

European-built Node 3 starts its journey to the International Space Station.
By Space News, May 5th, 2009
The European-built Node 3 module for the International Space Station will be shipped to NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, on 17 May. Media representatives will attend a ceremony on 16 May at Thales Alenia Space, Turin, Italy, to mark the departure of Node 3.
The Node 3 connecting module, built by prime contractor Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, is the last element of a barter agreement by which ESA supplied NASA with International Space Station (ISS) hardware, including the Cupola and two Node modules (Node 2 and 3). In return, NASA ferried the European Columbus laboratory to the ISS in February 2008. Following the tradition to name the ISS modules, NASA has chosen to name Node 3 ‘Tranquility’ after the Sea of Tranquility, the lunar landing site of Apollo 11 in 1969, highlighting the link between the ISS, exploration and the Moon.
Once in space, Node 3 connects to the port side of the Unity Node and provides room for eight refrigerator-sized racks, two of the locations being used for the avionics racks controlling Node 3. It will house many of the Station’s Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS), including an air revitalisation system, an oxygen generator system, a water recycling facility, a waste and hygiene compartment and a treadmill for crew exercise, which are currently stored in various places around the Station.
Node 3 is also the home of the European-built observation post Cupola. Cupola allows for a 360 degrees view of the Station and Earth to monitor robotics operations and to observe our home planet. Also under construction in the cleanroom at Thales Alenia Space in Turin is the Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) for ATV Johannes Kepler, the second Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV). The ATV cargo carrier, Node 2 and 3 and the European Columbus laboratory all share the same structural heritage stemming from the Italian-built Multi-Purpose Logistics Modules. Interested media will be able to visit both Node 3 and ATV ICC.
Node 3 will be transported by an Airbus Beluga aircraft to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida, on 17 May. At KSC, Thales Alenia Space will add the final touches before ownership is officially transferred to NASA at the end of September. Space Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to deliver Node 3 and Cupola to the ISS on flight STS-130, targeted for launch in February 2010.

NASA to Launch IMAX 3-D Camera to Film Hubble Servicing Mission.
By space News, May 5th, 2009
• MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20975765/
NASA, the IMAX Corporation and Warner Bros. Pictures announced Monday that IMAX 3-D cameras will return to space to document one of NASA’s most complex space shuttle operations - the final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope.
The IMAX 3-D cameras will launch aboard space shuttle Atlantis, which is scheduled to lift off May 11. Astronauts will use the cameras to film five spacewalks needed to repair and upgrade Hubble. The IMAX footage will be combined with breathtaking detailed images of distant galaxies from Hubble in the upcoming IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures co-production, “Hubble 3D,” set for release in spring 2010.
“We have worked with IMAX on past Hubble missions and are excited about working with them again on the current Hubble mission. The Hubble Space Telescope continues to dazzle us with the splendor of our Universe, and after the mission we look forward to many more years of awe-inspiring imagery,” said Bob Jacobs, NASA’s acting assistant administrator for public affairs at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “IMAX has developed innovative 3-D image capture and projection technology that creates a large-scale, immersive educational experience in which those of us on the ground are no longer passive observers of spaceflight, we’re active participants.”
The IMAX team has trained Atlantis’ crew at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to operate the cameras. One will be mounted outside the crew cabin in the shuttle’s cargo bay to capture IMAX 3-D images of the historic final servicing mission. The commander and pilot will double as filmmakers as two teams of spacewalking astronauts - working in tandem with the shuttle’s robotic arm - perform some of the most challenging work ever undertaken in space as they replace and refurbish many of the telescope’s precision instruments.
“It’s been said that the IMAX experience is the next best thing to being in space, and with IMAX 3-D, the audience really is there,” producer and director Toni Myers said. “Fifteen years ago, we made a film about space exploration that included Hubble, when it started sending back the first images. Today, we have Hubble’s entire phenomenal legacy of data to explore. With IMAX 3-D, we can transport people to galaxies that are 13 billion light years away - back to the edge of time. Real star travel is here at last.”
Through the world’s most immersive cinematic experience, “Hubble 3D” will give audiences a front row seat as the story unfolds. It will reveal the cosmos as never before, allowing viewers of all ages to explore the grandeur of the nebulae and galaxies, the birth and death of stars, and some of the greatest mysteries of our celestial surroundings, all in IMAX 3-D. IMAX’s longstanding partnership with NASA has enabled millions of people to travel into space through a series of award-winning IMAX films. The IMAX 3-D camera made its first voyage into space in 2001 for the production of “Space Station 3D.” The “Hubble 3D” film will mark Warner Bros. Pictures’ first venture into space.
