http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/sa/

Extractions: The mission of the Space and Life Sciences Directorate is to be the world's leader in understanding the space frontier and the opportunities, capabilities, and limitations of humans living and working on that frontier. We will develop and implement systems to enable the opportunities and reduce the barriers to human achievement in space and on other planet bodies. We will accomplish our mission through a combination of fundamental and applied research in space and life science disciplines, our participation in space flight projects, and the advancement and use of new technology. We will contribute to important national goals by transferring our technology to other users and by strengthening the educational applications of our knowledge, experience, and vision. The Directorate plays an enabling role in attaining NASA's goal of expanding human activities beyond low Earth orbit. Human missions in Earth orbit and space probes to the rest of the solar systems are stepping-stones to that goal. They contribute to fundamental knowledge about human capabilities and the solar system around us. To reach our long-term goals and accomplish our near-term objectives, we use highly skilled personnel, utilize unique facilities, conduct space fight experiments, contribute new techniques, and combine our experience to advance the expansion of human activities in space. Our personnel and capabilities contribute directly to the successful operation of space flight activities.

Standing are (from left) astronauts David M. Brown, Laurel B. Clark, and Michael P. Anderson, mission specialists; and Ilan Ramon, payload specialist, representing the Israeli Space Agency. Challenger Center for Space Science Education shares a deep sense of loss with the crew of STS-107. Joe Allen, Chairman of the Board for Challenger Center, said: “We at Challenger Center hold the crew of Columbia and their families in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time, and we ask that the citizens of America and the world do the same. As people throughout the nation try to come to grips with the sad news about STS-107, we urge people to heed the words of the family members of the Columbia crew: 'Although we grieve deeply, as do the families of Apollo I and Challenger before us, the bold exploration of space must go on. Once the root cause of this tragedy is found and corrected, the legacy of Columbia must carry on for the benefit of our children and yours.'" June Scobee Rodgers, Founding Chairman of Challenger Center, stated: “Without risks, there’s no new knowledge, no discovery, no bold adventure—all of which help the human spirit to soar. As all of the Challenger families, in 1986, began the long journey towards peace and understanding, we ask for patience and cooperation for the families and their colleagues at this critical time. In respect for their loss, students, parents, and teachers wishing to express their condolences to the Columbia families are encouraged to do so at their local Challenger Learning Center in the form of notes, cards, or mementos."
Europe - Space Activities
a variety of life sciences activities since its ESA plans to continue its life scienceexperiments on for its role in the International space Station program
http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/

Extractions: ESA has sponsored a variety of life sciences activities since its first such mission in 1985. These endeavors have been both in concert with other agencies, namely USSR/Russia and NASA, and as strictly European initiatives. Those missions entirely administered by ESA often have one member country or more as the principal participant or lead state. In some cases, the distinction between international and national programs may be somewhat blurred. For example, the first major ESA life sciences experiments were the Biorack, Anthrorack, and Vestibular Sled flown on Spacelab D1, which was primarily funded by Germany. Of the three European astronauts who flew on that mission, two were German and one was Dutch. While Germany is a strong participant in ESA, its two astronauts were official representatives of DARA on Spacelab D1. The Dutch astronaut was a representative for ESA (Section 5.1.3). ESA plans to continue its life science experiments on Russian (Mir, Photon, and Bion) and American (STS) spacecraft while preparing for its role in the International Space Station program with emphasis on its own Columbus Orbital Facility. ESA's Microgravity Advisory Committee in 1994 defined 15 high priority research areas in life sciences for future investigations. http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/
Spacelab IML-1 - European Space Activities
http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/spacelab.htm

Extractions: Another major life sciences project for ESA was Spacelab IML-1. ESA astronaut Ulf Merbold, along with one Canadian and five American astronauts, manned the International Microgravity Laboratory during 22-30 January 1992. ESA provided two main life sciences facilities for the mission: Biorack and the Vestibular Sled. Both platforms had been used previously on Spacelab D1. Biorack is a general purpose facility for the study of cellular and developmental processes in plants and animals. Aboard IML-1, 17 life sciences experiments were fielded, including insects, bacteria, animal tissue, frog eggs, molds, yeasts, and several plants. The Vestibular Sled is a track-mounted chair that is used to test human nervous system responses to a variety of accelerations in weightlessness. Biorack was flown for a third time on IML-2 in July, 1994. http://www.fas.org/spp/guide/europe/science/life/spacelab.htm

http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/EdActivities.html

Extractions: A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.

Extractions: Mamoru Mohri flew aboard the Space Shuttle (STS-47/ FMPT ) for the first time as a Japanese astronaut in March 1992. Since then, NASDA has been accumulating experience in manned space activities. Based on this experience, Japan hopes to contribute to constructing and operating the International Space Station (ISS) and Japanese Experiment Module (Kibo). The construction of the ISS began in late 1998, and Kibo will be attached to the ISS from 2002 to 2003. In the first phase, NASDA participated in NASA's Space Shuttle missions in which manned space experiments were conducted in order to prepare for full-scale manned space activities to come during ISS operation. Through the FMPT conducted aboard STS-47 held in 1992 and through the IML-2 conducted aboard STS-65 in 1994, NASDA was able to acquire basic knowledge for transporting humans to space, and to conduct research and development of technologies needed for space experiments utilizing microgravity.
