NASA Nebraska EPSCoR Program The Aeronautics Education, Research, and Industry Alliance (AERIAL) Executive Summary The Aeronautics Education, Research, and Industry Alliance (AERIAL) is AERIAL will enable Nebraska researchers to: (a) continue strengthening their collaborative relationships with NASA Field Centers, Codes, and Enterprises; (b) increase the capacity of higher education throughout Nebraska to invigorate and expand aeronautics research; and (c) expedite the development of aeronautics-related research infrastructure and industry in the state. This multi-institutional alliance will both form the foundation of a new statewide center for aeronautics research and elevate the state's activities in this regard to national prominence and impact. In the past ten years, Nebraska has initiated a series of specific strategies and initiatives, which have directly or indirectly resulted in 42 new or expanded collaborations with NASA; $3,315,000 in non-NASA research funding; and approximately 86 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral assistantships. Like its predecessors, AERIAL will contain specific strategies to support and sustain major, exemplary research activity occurring in the state as well as to nurture promising activities under development by junior researchers.

Each year, several research staff members visit overseas laboratories to do research for periods up to one year, and about one hundred and fifty researchers attend international conferences to present their work. @@The laboratory also makes active use of a variety of researcher invitation programs supported by the Japanese government and other institutions. Over fifty foreign researchers visit Japan and stay at MEL as guest researchers using fellowship programs supported by STA, AIST, ITIT, and other organisations.

5. POST-1995 MISSIONS AND PAYLOADS The Space Shuttle Following 1995, research on the Space Shuttle continued to thrive. The period leading up to the first assembly flights for the ISS saw the continuation of many collaborative projects, with both commercial partners and other government agencies. Four additional payloads in the National Institutes of Health Cells series and two in the National Institutes of Health Rodents series were flown. NASA and its collaborative partners continued to develop new hardware, including a nursing facility for neonate rats. Additional Spacelab missions incorporating life science experiments were flown in 1996 and 1998. The first, Life and Microgravity Spacelab, also included experiments in materials, combustion, and other microgravity sciences. The second, Neurolab, was dedicated entirely to space neuroscience. The NASA/Mir program also provided opportunities for research on the Shuttle. Along with ferrying American experiments to and from the station, the Shuttle carried a European Space Agency (ESA) Biorack on the docking missions, which allowed for short-term research to be conducted during the flights. A variety of microbiology, cell and molecular, and plant biology experiments were performed, with the opportunity for repeated flights of the experiments to expand data sets. However, not all future Shuttle flights will be Utilization Flights. The STS-93 mission, in 1999, to deploy the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, will also carry a new collaborative life sciences payload, National Institutes of Health Biology 1 (NIH.B1), which will study the effects of space flight on neural development in Drosophila (fruit flies). STS-107, scheduled for late 2000, will carry a SPACEHAB module and many life sciences experiments. Experiments currently planned for the mission will use the Aquatic Research Facility, Animal Enclosure Modules, a Cell Culture Module, BRIC hardware, and the Biopack, an ESA hardware item to be used in a microbiology study.

Teacher Workshops Connecticut/NASA Education Collaborative Overview/Application Guidelines CNEC's goal of supporting curriculum, teachers, and students within the state of Connecticut can take many forms. NASA teacher enhancement workshops provide one of the most valuable conduits of systemic support. But for training to be truly systemic, CNEC is attempting to go beyond the traditional offering of workshops and then "hope for the best" that teachers will take this back and integrate it into their classroom. The following paragraphs will describe the application guidelines for admittance to CNEC workshops, and likewise enumerate the integration expectations for attendees once they have completed their workshop training. But don't worry, all workshop topics highlighted at the bottom of this page will be correlated to Connecticut's Standards of Learning and provide follow-up support for participants after training completion. In addition, Continuing Education Units (CEU's) will be provided through the Science Center of Connecticut

STS-76/Atlantis Shuttle/Mir Mission-3 KSC Release No. 19-96 February 1996 The third docking between the U.S. Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Russian Space Station Mir will be highlighted by several activities: a crew transfer, an extravehicular activity (EVA), logistics operations and scientific research. Beginning with this mission, designated Shuttle/Mir Mission-3, the orbiter Atlantis will carry at least four U.S. astronauts in succession for extended stays aboard Mir. For the next 26 months there will always be at least one American living on the station. STS- 76 also kicks off a series of six Shuttle-Mir missions that will carry a SPACEHAB module in the orbiter payload bay. Atlantis is scheduled to lift off from Launch Pad 39B at a 51.6-degree-inclination to the equator into an initial 160-nautical mile (184-statute mile/296-kilometer) orbit. As with all the docking flights the launch window is brief, between five and 10 minutes in duration. The nine-day mission is scheduled to conclude with a landing at the Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility. The Crew The veteran crew is led by Kevin P. Chilton (Col., USAF), who will be making his third trip into space. Chilton is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, USAF Squadron Officer School and the USAF Test Pilot School. He became an astronaut in August 1988 and served as pilot on his first two Shuttle flights, STS-49 in 1992 and STS-59 in 1994.

NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR) was created at the beginning of FY 2001 to affirm NASA's commitment to the essential role biology will play in the 21st century and establish the core of biological and physical sciences research needed to support Agency strategic objectives. OBPR was created under the premise that revolutionary solutions to science and technology problems are likely to emerge from scientists, clinicians, and engineers who are working at the frontiers of their respective disciplines and are also engaged in dynamic interdisciplinary interactions. This budget request validates NASA's renewed research emphasis, with the increase in the Enterprise's budget from FY 2001 levels of $360.9M to $842.2M.

Statement of Arnauld E. Nicogossian, M.D. Associate Administrator Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications Before the Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics Committee on Science U.S. House of Representatives March 22, 2000 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee: It is a pleasure to discuss the President’s Fiscal Year 2001 Budget Request for NASA’s Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications (OLMSA). The Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications (OLMSA) is partner with the Office of Space Flight in the NASA’s Human Exploration and Development of Space (HEDS) Enterprise. Our goals support the NASA Mission to expand knowledge, explore space, and transfer technology. We accomplish our goals through multidisciplinary ground- and space-based research focused on fundamental questions about the role of gravity in biological and physical processes. We conduct research to understand the risks of the space environment to humans, and to improve the health and safety of astronauts. We facilitate access to space for commercially sponsored research and development. Our research contributes to better health care, improved industrial processes, and new commercial products and services in the United States through partnerships with academia, industry, and government organizations. OLMSA continues to prepare for the International Space Station (ISS). We foster a robust research community by expanding our cadre of ground-based researchers while facilitating access to space through every available flight opportunity on the Shuttle. We have taken advantage of the ISS buildup period to pursue new opportunities for ground- based research to further refine and expand knowledge, advance technology, and plan new products. During this past year, our communication with public and educational communities continued to expand.
