Turning America's Back to the Moon (2/2/2010)
February 2, 2010 Astronaut Gene Cernan weighs in on Obama eliminating funds for manned lunar missions. Follow UFO Report on Twitter @ twitter.com Barack Obama to drop Nasa moon mission in budget cutbacks Reports say planned human flights to the moon and Mars likely to be ditched in effort to rein in US deficit Sam Jones and agencies guardian.co.uk, Monday 1 February 2010 - www.guardian.co.uk Nasa's plans to send a manned mission to the moon and launch the US into a bold new era of space exploration are likely to remain on the ground today when Barack Obama unveils his budget. The president wants to cut back or abandon 120 government programmes to help rein in the US deficit among them the funding of the US space administration as part of the $3.8tn (£2.4tn) budget. According to the Washington Post, Obama will seek to shelve the $81bn Constellation programme, which called for a return to the moon by 2020 and human landings on Mars by the middle of the century. The plans were laid out by his predecessor, George Bush, in 2004. The budget could also spell the end for Nasa's successor to the space shuttle, the Ares 1 rocket, which has already cost billions of dollars to develop. The government will instead call for $6bn to be spent over five years to develop a commercial craft to transport astronauts into orbit. Such a move would mark a sea change in how Nasa works, forcing it to rely on a private company to design and manufacture a spacecraft. Michael Griffin, a former Nasa ...

STS-127 Endeavour Landing at KSC 07/31/09-31 July2009
Space shuttle Endeavour landed at Florida's Kennedy Space Center today with a touchdown at 10:48 am EDT, capping the 16-day STS-127 mission to the International Space Station. The shuttle began its descent from orbit with a deorbit engine firing at 9:41 am, followed by a smooth re-entry that brought the winged spacecraft across Central America, Cuba and the state of Florida on its way to the spaceport. Endeavour launched July 15 at 6:03 pm EDT from Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A. Highlighted by five spacewalks and intricate robotics work, the mission completed construction of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory. Astronauts attached a platform to the outside of the Japanese module that will allow experiments to be exposed to space.

Last Nightime Launch of NASA's Shuttle Endeavour Feb. 8, 2010
www.FunToWatch.TV CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Due to White House budget cuts this will be the last nighttime shuttle launch.Space shuttle Endeavour lit up the predawn sky above Florida's Space Coast on Monday with a 4 am EST launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The shuttle's last scheduled night launch began a 13-day flight to the International Space Station and the final year of shuttle operations. Endeavour's STS-130 mission will include three spacewalks and the delivery of the Tranquility node, the final major US portion of the station. Tranquility will provide additional room for crew members and many of the space station's life support and environmental control systems. Attached to Tranquility is a cupola with seven windows, which houses a robotic control station. The windows will provide a panoramic view of Earth, celestial objects and visiting spacecraft. After the node and cupola are added, the orbiting laboratory will be approximately 90 percent complete. Shortly before liftoff, Commander George Zamka said, "Thanks to the great team that got Tranquility, cupola and Endeavour to this point. And thanks also to the team that got us ready to bring Node 3 and cupola to life. We'll see you in a couple of weeks. It's time to go fly." Zamka is joined on the flight by Pilot Terry Virts and Mission Specialists Kathryn Hire, Stephen Robinson, Nicholas Patrick and Robert Behnken. Virts is making his first trip to space. Endeavour's first landing opportunity at Kennedy is ...

STS-120 Landing
Space shuttle Discovery descended to a smooth landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, concluding a successful assembly mission to the International Space Station. With Commander Pam Melroy and Pilot George Zamka at the controls, Discovery landed at 1:01:17 pm EST on 7th November 2007. The mission lasted 15 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 2 seconds. During its stay at the station, which began on 25th October, the STS-120 crew continued the on-orbit construction of the station with the installation of the Harmony Node 2 module and the relocation of the P6 truss. The crew installed Harmony on 26th October and did four spacewalks at the station. During the third spacewalk, the crew installed the P6 truss and solar array pair in its permanent location outboard of the port truss. The fourth spacewalk was changed during the mission so that the crew could repair a torn solar array on the P6 truss. Following the successful repair work, the crew was able to fully deploy the solar array. Discovery also delivered a new station crew member, Flight Engineer Daniel Tani. STS-120 is the 120th shuttle mission and 23rd mission to visit the space station. The next mission, STS-122, is slated to launch in December.

Behind the Scenes of Space Shuttle Endeavour Crew (STS-130) Walk Out
Commander George Zamka will lead the STS-130 mission to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Endeavour. Terry Virts will serve as the pilot. Mission Specialists are Nicholas Patrick, Robert Behnken, Stephen Robinson and Kathryn Hire. Virts will be making his first trip to space. Shuttle Endeavour and its crew will deliver to the space station a third connecting module, the Italian-built Tranquility node and the seven-windowed cupola, which will be used as a control room for robotics. The mission will feature three spacewalks. The first launch attempt on February 7, 2010 was scrubbed due to high clouds that would obscure viability for ground cameras and the shuttle crew in the event they had to make an emergency landing at the Kennedy Space Center after liftoff or Return to Landing Site (RTLS).
