Environmental awareness program development

Work this summer in the Office of Safety, Environment, and Mission Assurance began with a review of current initiatives and environmental projects at the Langley Research Center (LaRC). This involved researching many of the documents on file which detail problems which have occurred as well as various approaches which have been used to address these problems. A large portion of the time was spent interviewing and working with each of the engineers, industrial hygienists and other professionals connected with the Office of Environmental Engineering. A few of the projects I worked on include: Researching environmental compliance, and pollution prevention efforts; touring many of the facilities at LaRC to observe the environmental efforts in the work place; researching equipment needs for the recycling/reclamation center; writing scripts for in-house training videos; working with the video production department to produce a training video; developing e-mail distribution list; developing environmental coordinator's database; and working with others to research logistics of recycling and waste minimization efforts.

STS-77 Flight Day 4

On this fourth day of the STS-77 mission, the flight crew, Cmdr. John H. Casper, Pilot Curtis L. Brown, Jr., and Mission Specialists Andrew S.W. Thomas, Ph.D., Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco, Jr., and Marc Garneau, Ph.D., turned their attention to the deployment of a small technology demonstration satellite known as PAMS. The Passive Aerodynamically Stabilized Magnetically-damped Satellite uses aerodynamic stabilization to orient itself properly and demonstrates a technique that could prolong the lifetime of a satellite by reducing or eliminating the requirement for attitude control propellants. After Mission Specialist Mario Runco deploys the satellite from a canister in the rear of Endeavour's payload bay, it drifts away from the orbiter in a rotating, unstable attitude by design to evaluate how quickly and effectively the spacecraft can stabilize itself using the aerodynamic stabilization method rather than by thrusters. Later in the day, the crew is seen being interviewed by Canadian Television.

Scott, and Koichi Wakata (NASDA), deployed the OAST-Flyer satellite which will perform two days of scientific investigations, checked out the space tools that they will be testing during their two planned spacewalks, and conducted the secondary middeck experiments. The host, Tom Miller, from NBC's 'Nightside' show, interviewed the astronauts from Charlotte, NC, via satellite link. Views include the Japanese Space Flyer Unit (SFU) satellite in its berth in the shuttle's cargo bay with the Earth in the background, Earth cloud cover, and various shots of the shuttle's cargo bay.

The NASA Lewis Research Center: An Economic Impact Study

The NASA Lewis Research Center (LeRC), established in 1941, is one of ten NASA research centers in the country. It is situated on 350 acres of land in Cuyahoga County and occupies more than 140 buildings and over 500 specialized research and test facilities. Most of LeRC's facilities are located in the City of Cleveland; some are located within the boundaries of the cities of Fairview Park and Brookpark. LeRC is a lead center for NASA's research, technology, and development in the areas of aeropropulsion and selected space applications. It is a center of excellence for turbomachinery, microgravity fluid and combustion research, and commercial communication. The base research and technology disciplines which serve both aeronautics and space areas include materials and structures, instrumentation and controls, fluid physics, electronics, and computational fluid dynamics. This study investigates LeRC's economic impact on Northeast Ohio's economy. It was conducted by The Urban Center's Economic Development Program in Cleveland State University's Levin College of Urban Affairs. The study measures LeRC's direct impact on the local economy in terms of jobs, output, payroll, and taxes, as well as the indirect impact of these economic activities when they 'ripple' throughout the economy. To fully explain LeRC's overall impact on the region, its contributions in the areas of technology transfer and education are also examined. The study uses a highly credible and widely accepted research methodology. First, regional economic multipliers based on input-output models were used to estimate the effect of LERC spending on the Northeast Ohio economy. Second, the economic models were complemented by interviews with industrial, civic, and university leaders to qualitatively assess LeRC's impact in the areas of technology transfer and education.
