Penny's Activity / Penny's Story Penny's Space Resources Your Ideas, Please Each month, TeachSpace will work with one of you - a teacher whose expertise will serve to correct and enhance our current module. In addition to field-testing our activities, Penny contributed one of her own, below. You can also check out her bio or her top space resources, or get involved yourself. A Favorite Activity by Penny L. Glackman Each year my students and I follow a Space Shuttle mission on-line. These missions, bringing new components to the International Space Station, will give your students a connection with real-life space exploration. Check this schedule to find out when the next Shuttle is going up: http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/launches/launch_schedule.html. There are many ways in which you can incorporate this activity into your science class. You may limit it to one lesson, or expand it as other lessons naturally emerge. Some of the things I do in my class are the following: When introducing a Shuttle mission, I begin with a discussion of the Space Transportation System (STS). I have a two-foot-high inflatable Space Shuttle in my classroom. There are smaller models that are easily accessible - you can buy one online at www.thespaceshop.com, at a science museum shop, or at a toy store that specializes in educational toys. Or, you might prefer to use pictures, easily available online or in space books. (Try the Space Shuttle gallery on SPACE.com: http://www.space.com/imagegallery/gallery/

89. Long Bio http://icarus.stsci.edu/~lucas/web/ral-long-bio.html

Ray A. Lucas Some people consider their work a calling. In my case, it literally was, but I'll get back to that later... The story is somewhat long and complicated, and too long for me to really tell or for you to read here! But, if you're really so desperate for something to read right now, well, you must be trying to avoid something else you probably should be doing! In that case, read on, dear reader... As a child, I wanted to do practically everything, and I thought that I could, and that I should be able to... We all learn that we have limitations, but we also sometimes learn that we often have never really fully tested them or our capacity to learn. My own father, mother, brother, and grandparents, as well as a number of other relatives and family friends when I was a child, all exceptional people in their own ways, taught me that there is always more to learn. The same is true of the many exceptional people with whom I have been fortunate to meet, work, and play, in astronomy, music and the arts, and in sports I've played like basketball and football, and indeed, of the many exceptional people I've been fortunate to meet in life in general. In school, I sometimes had a strange and maddening tendency in math and physics classes to solve the problems that everyone else missed and then miss too many of the ones that everyone else solved! Thus, I rarely shied away from a challenge, but sometimes jumped in over my head... Learning that I could do some things was something of a comfort, once learned, belying all the trouble I sometimes had convincing myself of the right way to do something in some circumstances. But both science and math proceed by hard work, and by looking into the darkness and shining a light to satisfy a healthy intellectual curiosity and/or equally to overcome fear and apprehension. It is by such fits and starts, and by overcoming our own stumbling blocks that we learn. The human brain, of course, is still one of the greatest mysteries in the universe!

Hispanic Heritage Month 1998 Astronaut Bios NASA's astronaut corps includes two groups of professionals: Pilots fly space shuttles to and from orbit and are eligible to serve as mission commanders. They usually have military experience. Mission specialists are scientists or engineers who operate experiments, release and retrieve satellites, and conduct other work in orbit. An astronaut only flies in space once every two to three years, on average. It takes about six months to train for a mission, plus a few months to fly the mission and complete any experiments on the ground. The rest of the time, they are assigned other jobs. They help design spacecraft systems, space suits, computer software, and other important systems. They devise training procedures, and work with the people who build space shuttles and other craft. More about Hispanic Astronauts NASA bio Fernando Caldeiro Mission Specialist Born: June 12, 1958; Buenos Aires, Argentina Education: Bachelor of science, mechanical engineering, Univ. of Arizona; master of science, engineering management, Univ. of Central Florida Work History: Test director for B-1B bomber; space shuttle propulsion system engineer
