Houston: We Are Go For Launch! by Neil Kuhn What's the only thing AIAA mebers would drive 22 hours to see? The NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC), of course. That's right: in two vans and one day of driving, the 12 members found themselves in Houston, Texas. This is just one example of the kind of trip AIAA coordinates each year. Karina Shook, who is currently working for NASA and is an alumni of the University's EMA program, escorted the group around JSC. Karina was able to guide the students through many "behind the scenes" operations at the NASA-JSC complex. The first day the group toured the The Advanced Space Propulsion Laboratory (ASPL) where astronaut Dr. Franklin Chang Diaz spoke about the most recent advancement in rocket technology, known as the Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR). He has been working on the development of the VASIMR since 1979. VASIMR technology will greatly shorten human transit times between planets. Starting bright and early the second day, the group toured the Neutral Buoyancy Lab inside the Sonny Carter Training Facility, where they watched astronauts suit up and train in a large pool that simulates zero gravity conditions. Next was a visit to see the X-38. The X-38 is going to be the Crew Return Vehicle for the astronauts aboard the International Space Station. What the group saw was the actual building of the V-201 which is an experimental model of the X-38. The students then were taken to the Mission Control Center.

Students to Fly Aboard Reduced-Gravity Aircraft By Neena S. Kadaba ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR Each of the three groups, composed of three to four students, will depart tomorrow for a week of training followed by their flight next week. Their flight of forty parabolas will span from Texas to Mexico and back. With each parabola, the KC-135A climbs and then descends 7,000 feet, creating nearly thirty seconds of microgravity. Students attended a Readiness Review last Saturday in anticipation of their flight during the week of Mar. 22. The program began with an introduction by Charles Oman, Director of the Man-Vehicle Laboratory, who shared his own experiences aboard the KC-135A. Student teams present proposals The NIMBLE team hopes to demonstrate the capability of the computer system by recording and processing biomedical information. The system also tests the workload demands on the user, Pinson said. This is important for the design and development of long term micro-gravity housing, since people need to take audio cues constantly, Krikorian said. Student experience far-reaching Students who worked on the proposals found that their studies and experiences ranged far beyond the specific subject of their project.

T H E E I G H T F O L D ... O N S C I O U S N E S S Timothy Leary's Eight Circuits of Consciousness From Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati Tunnel-Realities and Imprints Let's try Dr. Leary 's perspective on these mysteries. To understand neurological space, Dr. Leary assumes that the nervous system consists of eight potential circuits, or "gears," or mini-brains. Four of these brains are in the usually active left lobe and are concerned with our terrestrial survival; four are extraterrestrial, reside in the "silent" or inactive right lobe, and are for use in our future evolution. This explains why the right lobe is usually inactive at this stage of our development, and why it becomes active when the person ingests psychedelics. We will explain each of the eight "brains" briefly. I. THE BIO-SURVIVAL CIRCUIT T his invertebrate brain was the first to evolve (2 to 3 million years ago) and is the first activated when a human infant is born. It programs perception onto an either-or grid divided into nurturing-helpful Things (which it approaches) and noxious-dangerous Things (which it flees, or attacks). The imprinting of this circuit sets up the basic attitude of trust or suspicion which will ever after trigger approach or avoidance. II. THE EMOTIONAL CIRCUIT

The Skylab 3 mission started July 28,1973, with the launch of three astronauts on the Saturn IB rocket, and lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes. A total of 1084.7 astronaut-utilization hours were tallied by Skylab 3 astronauts performing scientific experiments in the areas of medical activities, solar observations, Earth resources and other experiments. Skylab 3 continued a comprehensive medical research program that extended the data on human physiological adaptation and readaptation to space flight collected on the previous Skylab 2 mission. In addition, Skylab 3 extended the astronauts stay in space from approximately one month to two months. Therefore, the effects of flight duration on physiological adaptation and readaptation could be examined. A set of core medical investigations were performed on all three Skylab manned missions. These core investigations were the same basic investigations that were performed on Skylab 2 , except that the Skylab 3 inflight tests were supplemented with extra tests based on what researchers learned from the Skylab 2 science results. For example, only leg volume measurements, preflight and postflight stereophotogrammetry , and in-flight maximum calf girth measurements were originally scheduled for all three Skylab missions.

Today, I would like to highlight the importance of biology to NASA's present and future endeavors. I would like to begin by quoting from a recent Speech by NASA Administrator Dan Goldin that he delivered at the First NASA/NCI Workshop for Bio-Molecular Signatures in May, 1999. "Join me for a moment as I take you on one of many possible paths into the future. The year is 2030. You still can't get good airline food and Star Wars-Part 20-has just been released. Talk about great special effects: you can even FEEL the heat from the explosions and SMELL the Wookies. But what has captured the public's imagination is the launch of NASA first interstellar probe. Schoolchildren named it Yoda. This probe may give us new clues to new life forms on planets in other solar systems and communicate its findings back to Earth. It took NASA's dedication to using the fundamentals of biology, bioinformatics and biomimetics to build this incredible machine. This machine doesn't look anything like the spacecraft of 1999. The soda can-sized spacecraft will reach and land on a passing asteroid two years after it is launched from Earth.

Watching yourself, you're not satisfied. Output from the computer says the service speed isn't competitive. Also, the output indicates the racket didn't quite engage the ball as required and you missed your aiming point. So it's evident changes are still needed. You re-start the program, adjust the values of certain parameters in the equations, reset the starting values, and try again, encouraged that you're serving more effectively. This is one example of the many different types of studies that might be conducted on the computer. It's designed to obtain information that helps decide the best way for you to serve.

Noor I t is often where disparate fields intersect that unexpected and useful insights into nature and engineering arise. And so it might be with the impact of biology on future aerospace systems. A wealth of technological breakthroughs is likely to come from mimicking the interactions of biological systems and their response to the environment. The next decades will witness thinking, learning, evolvable aerospace systems. It will also see systems-on-a-chip, in which miniaturization allows all electronic systems of an aerospace vehicle (computer, memory, guidance, navigation, communications, power, and sensors) to fit on a tiny chip. Such aerospace systems cannot be realized with present technologies. An artist's conception of an evolvable rover, adaptable to a variety of terrain and environments, exploring the surface of Mars. The development and deployment of these systems will lead to a new era of aviation systems, space transportation, and exploration. Safer, less costly, and more accessible air transportation will become available. Two orders of magnitude reduction in cost and four orders of magnitude increase in reliability will be achieved for Earth-to-orbit transportation. Rapid human and robotic transportation to the planets and nearby celestial bodies, and possibly, outside the solar system could be realized.
