<p>โครงการ Space Shuttle จะเหลือ mission อีก 2 ครั้งก่อนที่โครงการนี้จะปิดฉากลงอย่างเป็นทางการ&#160; ทาง NASA มีโครงการที่จะให้ชาวเนทได้มีส่วนร่วมเป็นครั้งสุดท้ายโดยการส่งรูปตัวเองไปกับ Space Shuttle</p>

<p>เวปนี้จะให้เราเลือกส่งรูปไปกับ Mission อันใดอันหนึ่ง&#160; โดยที่สุดท้ายเราจะได้เลข ID มาเพื่อพิมพ์ certificate หลังจากที่ mission นั้นเสร็จสิ้นแล้ว</p>
<p>ครั้งนี้ไม่ได้เป็นครั้งแรกที่ทางโครงการอวกาศเปิดให้คนทั่วไปได้มีส่วนร่วมอย่างนี้&#160; อย่างเช่นการส่งชื่อไปกับยาน Kepler ซึ่งไปโคจรรอบดวงอาทิตย์&#160; (blog post เดิม <a href="http://kanok.net/blog/2008/05/08/put-your-name-around-the-sun/" target="_blank">ที่นี่</a>)&#160; หรือการส่งภาพ scan ลายเซ็นไปกับยาน Cassini ไปยังดาวเสาร์ (อ่านต่อ <a href="http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/kids/amazing-dvd.cfm" target="_blank">ที่นี่</a>) </p>

<p><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/shuttleoperations/orbiters/orbitersatl.html">Space Shuttle Atlantis</a> has lifted of for the last time in a 12 day mission to International Space Station.&#160; There are 2 more mission after this to service ISS with <b></b><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/shuttleoperations/orbiters/discovery-info.html">Space Shuttle Discovery</a> and the final Shuttle mission on <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/shuttleoperations/orbiters/endeavour-info.html">Space Shuttle Endeavour</a> which will conclude NASA Space Shuttle program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Space industry cost lots of money and attract lot of attention to those who always look ‘up there’ and follow every space mission both US and Russia.&#160; Some of them want a piece of history for their own….&#160; They can!</p>
<p><a href="http://kanok.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ISSFront170.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 10px 20px 25px 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="ISSFront170" border="0" alt="ISSFront170" align="left" src="http://kanok.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ISSFront170_thumb.jpg" width="170" height="125" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.everquestdesign.com/" target="_blank">everQuest design</a> sells several design bags that use a piece of Soyuz TMA-3 main landing parachute as a material.&#160; If you’re still in doubt, there is a certificate certifies the mission that parachute came from, what date, signed by Mission Pilot.&#160; So you not only get a piece of space history but also cosmonaut signature..</p>
<p><a href="http://kanok.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Soyuz_landing.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; margin: 25px 0px 0px 25px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Soyuz_landing" border="0" alt="Soyuz_landing" align="right" src="http://kanok.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Soyuz_landing_thumb.jpg" width="244" height="244" /></a>Some of these Soyuz was docked at International Space Station as an emergency life boat for up to 6 months.&#160; This particular mission Soyuz TMA-3 was flown during Oct 18, 2003 to Apr 29, 2004 (194 days).&#160; So this is the real deal not some of the “15 second of fame” kind of thing.</p>
<p>This company also sells bag made from America’s Cup sail and iPod nano case mode from iPod Billboard material.&#160; The price is quite high.&#160; But what you’ve got is a piece of history.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who wonder what astronauts said during mission back in ‘70s.&#160; NASA has put up a full set of mission transcript from Mercury to Apollo mission.&#160; There are many part to choose from such as Onboard Command module, Lunar module (Apollo mission) and ground control, each contain seveal hundreds pages of pdf file.</p>
<p>You can read through the moment Neal Armstrong say “One small step….” or when Jim Lovell say “Houston. We have a problem”</p>
<p>I recommend to get the Apollo 13 mission and compare the one we see in the movies.&#160; Some say that the movie’s dialogue is quite accurate.</p>
<p>The link to the transcripts is <a href="http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/history/mission_trans/mission_transcripts.htm">here</a></p>

<p>Just heard from the <a href="http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0902/11iridium/">news</a> that Iridium Satellite collided with defunct Russian Cosmos satellite creates huge cloud and some 600 space debris.</p>
<p>It is quite a rare event that 2 satellites collided in orbit especially one is the operational US satellite.   Communication relay satellite, Cosmos 2251 which was lunched in 1993 and was out of service more than 10 years while Iridium Satellite provides mobile telephone service globally.</p>
<p>I personally feel this story interesting since my work at Iridium Southeast Asia some time before Iridium LLC went Chapter 7 in 2000.  Then all the asset including satellite constallation were sold to Iridium Satellite LLC with the value about 10% of the original cost.  With its rebranding, the new Iridium service is quite success.</p>

<p>Deadline Approaching to Apply for New NASA Astronaut Class
<p>HOUSTON &#8212; NASA&#8217;s deadline for accepting applications for the 2009 Astronaut Candidate Class is July 1. Those selected could fly to space for long-duration stays on the International Space Station and missions to the moon. <br />To be considered, a bachelor&#8217;s degree in engineering, science or math and three years of relevant professional experience are required. Typically, successful applicants have significant qualifications in engineering or science, or extensive experience flying high-performance jet aircraft. <br />Teaching experience, including work at the kindergarten through 12th grade level, is considered qualifying. Educators with the appropriate educational background are encouraged to apply.<br />After a six-month period of evaluation and interviews, NASA will announce final selections in early 2009. Astronaut candidates will report to NASA&#8217;s Johnson Space Center in Houston during the summer of 2009 to begin the basic training program to prepare them for future spaceflight assignments.<br />To apply to be an astronaut, visit:
