Bio Alan Bean was selected as an astronaut for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1963. During his 18-year NASA career, he achieved a number of accomplishments, including being the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission and commander of the Skylab Mission II. In 1963, Alan was selected as a NASA astronaut. He became the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission, and the fourth man to set foot on the moon.
In 1973, he again flew in space as spacecraft commander of the Skylab Mission II. This mission lasted fifty-nine days and traveled 24,400,000 miles. His crew accomplished 150 percent of their pre-mission goals, a record unequaled even today. Alan was then selected as backup spacecraft commander for the joint American-Russian Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Alan was assigned as Chief of Operations and Training and Acting Chief Astronaut until the first flight of the space shuttle. Throughout Alan's career as an astronaut when he was not in specific mission training, Alan studied art at nights and on the weekends. In 1981, he resigned as a NASA astronaut to devote full time to painting and speaking. Today, Alan is an accomplished artist creating paintings that artistically record for future generations humankind's first exploration of another world.

http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/
Welcome to the astronaut biographies home page, providing biographical information on the members of the space flight crews and candidates for future missions in NASA's space flight program. The links above will direct you to biographical information on the astronauts. The term "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "space sailor," and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. Since the inception of NASA's human space flight program, we have also maintained the term "astronaut" as the title for those selected to join the NASA corps of astronauts who make "space sailing" their career profession. The term "cosmonaut" refers to those space sailors who are members of the Russian space program. The crew of each launched spacecraft is made up of astronauts or cosmonauts drawn from the various categories described in these pages. The crew assignments and duties of commander, pilot, Space Shuttle mission specialist, or International Space Station flight engineer are drawn from the NASA professional career astronauts. A special category of astronauts typically titled "payload specialist" refers to individuals selected and trained by commercial or research organizations for flights of a specific payload on a space flight mission. At the present time, these payload specialists may be cosmonauts or astronauts designated by the international partners, individuals selected by the research community, or a company or consortia flying a commercial payload aboard the spacecraft.

LAVINA MELWANI
in New York and
LALIT K. JHA in Karnal W ho would have thought that a young Indian girl with her feet firmly on the ground would one day fly into the heavens? While for most people outer space is uncharted territory, for Kalpana Chawla it is reality, a place to which she will blast off on November 19 on board shuttle Columbia, from the Lyndon Johnson Space Centre in the United States. Her exploits have already given a high to the folks back home. "Karnal is on top of the world," cooed Vimala Raheja, principal of the Tagore Bal Niketan Senior Secondary School where Kalpana was a student in the early 70s. "We are proud of this brave girl," gushed I.D. Swami, the MP from Karnal. "Going to space, that too a girl from a small town like this, is no mean achievement."
The residents of the town, 125 km from Delhi, are planning to "celebrate the occasion in a big way," said Jang Bahadur Chauhan, the local bar association president, as "Karnal has been brought on the international map." The proudest of them all is her mother Sanyogita. "I was probably expecting a boy as my last child," she said. "But out came Kalpana, who has achieved more than a boy could." "From childhood she was different," said her brother Sanjay Chawla, a Delhi businessman. Indeed. "Kalpana was very tomboyish," reminisced Sanyogita. "She used to cut her own hair, never wore ironed clothes and learnt karate."

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
By Soma Ghorai F rom Douglas Adams’ ridiculous rendition of outer space in the Hitchhiker’s trilogy to Star Trek’s overwhelming version of the future, there are a myriad of possibilities of what space has to offer. In the past few decades, the developing field of space exploration has been able to tell us a great deal about what is out there. Since outer space is an ever-changing place that Earth is only a minuscule part of, the field of astronautics will always be important. In this spirit, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) was created for the people who dedicate themselves to studying fields related to outer space. AIAA was formed in 1963 when the American Rocket Society (ARS) and the Institute of Aerospace Sciences (IAS) merged. This merger brought together the "imagination, opportunistic and risk-taking desire of [the] rocket, missile and space professionals with the more established, well-recognized achievers from the aviation community." Both societies had eventful histories from the 1930’s and were able to offer much to AIAA. Today, the AIAA serves the aerospace community with over 66 technical committees. it also publishes several journals, including Aerospace America and the AIAA Student Journal . Along with its 31,000 professional members, there are also over 5,500 student members in 165 student branches.

Hi future NASA employee! My name is Jayleen Guttromson and I'm a sophomore in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering (AAE) at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. Go Boilermakers! I'm on my first rotation at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. As long as I can remember I've wanted to become an astronaut, pretty much everyone at NASA does. I'm originally from Fargo, North Dakota. Which leads me to ask: Have you seen the movie? While at the “Cradle of Astronauts” school, I'm fulfilling the engineering curriculum, involved in a variety of engineering organizations, and socializing with friends. Purdue has provided me a well-rounded education, from participating in the KC-135 Reduced Gravity Program my freshman year to attending the Rose Bowl in California. I'm a member of the Purdue Engineering Student Council (PESC) and Students for the Exploration of Space (SEDS). Within PESC, I've organized outreach opportunities for the community and helped coordinate the nations largest student-run corporate job fair. [ www.purdue.edu/pesc

April 4, 2002 saw the returned module of "Shenzhou III" unmanned spaceship opened in Beijing and "out stepped" the "passengers" one after another from the cabin and they made a great show of themselves after a flying of over 5 million kilometers in the outer space.
In the workshop of the Beijing Space Technology Research, Manufacture and Experimentation Center of China Space Technology Research Institution heads are moving and jostling. The returned module of "Shenzhou III" under the red cover, which after a space baptism of seven days was just carried here on Thursday, seemed to be more mystic.
Previous Two Unmanned Spaceships
  • On January 10, 2001, China launched the second unmanned spaceship "Shenzhou II" which was basically identical to a manned craft. Scientists designed space life sciences, space materials, space astronomy and space physics experiments under conditions of microgravity in outer space.

    The Skylab 4 mission was initiated with the launch of three astronauts in the Saturn IB rocket. Skylab 4 was launched on November 16, 1973 and landed on February 8, 1974, making this mission a 84 days, 1 hour and 16 minutes in length, thus marking the longest mission in history for NASA.
    The main purpose of the third manned Skylab mission, Skylab 4, was to extend the knowledge of human physiological adaptation to space flight and readaptation to Earth's gravity by continuing the comprehensive a medical research program begun on the Skylab 2 and 3 missions. Since Skylab 4 lasted 84 days, it extended the astronauts' stay in space to almost three months.
    In addition to the core biomedical investigations started on Skylab 2, additional inflight tests performed on Skylab 4 included blood flow measurements by an occlusive cuff, facial photographs taken before flight and during flight to study the " puffy face syndrome ," venous compliance hemoglobin urine specific gravity anthropometric measurements, treadmill exercise, center of mass, infrared (IR) anatomical photography , taste and aroma evaluation, measurement of atmospheric volatile chemical concentrations in the spacecraft, light flash phenomenon , and stereophotogrammetry.

    Thanks for taking the time to speak with me today Mr. Goldin Dan Goldin: I got it. A lot of the questions you are asking are going to get answered on the International Space Station . And Mir . Just to digress for a moment, we have learned a tremendous amount from Mir, and one of the things that is very clear is that we better do a better job on the psychological health of the astronauts. So the stresses that build up on Tsybleyev you know when he got those heart palpitations and soon thereafter one of the things we have done is we have said 'we better do a much more comprehensive job in this area.' So some of the questions you are asking I think are fabulous questions maybe a little premature to be able to answer them, but we are looking at those things, and the only place you are really going to find these out is in real research. I don't know whether you saw those chamber tests we have down there at Johnson [Space Center], where we are putting young people in these chambers for ever increasing time periods?

Reprinted from NASA 'Good Vibrations' May Prevent Bone Loss in Space New NASA research suggests bones that are slightly shaken may help astronauts stay healthier during long spaceflights, and could be used to help people suffering from bone loss here on Earth. Scientists funded by NASA and its National Space Biomedical Research Institute in Houston uncovered evidence that barely perceptible vibrations may stimulate bone growth, which would benefit astronauts on extended space missions, the elderly here on the ground, and other people immobilized by paralysis or bed rest. Read a Science@NASA story about bone loss in space to better understand the problem faced by space travelers.

    Astronaut Interview 2000
    I applied to be an astronaut through the military in 1993, 1995, and 1997. In 1998, I separated from Active Duty to the Reserves, and I applied in 1999 as a civilian. On January 27 th , I received a phone call from Teresa Gomez, of the NASA astronaut selection office . She invited me down for an interview the week of February 5 th through February 11 th . I accepted!
    Most people arrived at the hotel Saturday from about 2pm until after 10pm. We contacted the local folks, and headed out for dinner to get to know each other, and more people kept showing up as they arrived. The waitress handled the chaos with aplomb. At 11am on Sunday the formal activities started, which started with a welcome brief, distribution of schedules, and other adminitrivia.
    • Risk assessment was interesting. Fighting in military combat gives 1:20000. Flying in space gives 1:300. Being an astronaut disqualifies you from most private life insurance. New civilian astronauts earn GS-11,12 or 13 wages. Check this payscale if you think you'll get rich.
