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.
