Судьба отряда НАСА

[Leroy]

Вот фотография астронавтов набора 1978 года к 30 годовщину...

Это вся компания, которая в сумме набрала 99 полетов, или кого-то из причастных нет?

Набор был 35 человек, а тут заснято всего 12. Шестерых уже нет в живых.

Невысокая женщина в центре кадра -- вероятно, вдова Элиссона Онизуки.

Среди женщин слева направо:
Лорна Онизука (Lorna Onizuka), Черил Макнейр (Cheryl McNair). Анна Фишер (Anna Fisher), Кэтрин Салливэн (Kathryn Sullivan) и Джун Скоби-Роджерс (June Scobee-Rodgers) :shock:

Мачей, а есть полный список сфотографированных? Все лица знакомые, конечно... Узнались Кэтрин Салливан, Крейтон, Майк Маллейн, Хоффман, ван Хофтен, Пинки Нельсон, Хут Гибсон, Бранденстейн, Брюс Шоу...

При фотографии не было полного списка, но в первом ряду кроме женщин Дан Бранденстейн.
во втором ряду: Рик Маллейн, Джо 'Пинки' Нельсон, Лорен Шрайвер, Брустер Шоу мл., Джон Крейтон, Терри Харт.
в последнем ряду стоят: Джеймс 'Окс' Ван Хофтен, Дик Кови и Джеф Хоффман.  :oops:

[Agasfer]

Ушел из отряда нелетавший астронавт  Нейл Вудворд. Жаль, так и не слетал... Кто знает что с ним? Здоровье? Остались нелетавшие Калдейро и Кэйджл. . Слышал у Калдейро проблемы с ВКД. Если у кого есть информация по этим астронавтам поделитесь.

[Lirik]

Согласно http://astro.zeto.czest.pl/loty/sts129.htm в состав экипажа STS-129 может быть включена астронавт Анна Фишер. Первый космический полет она совершила в 1984 (!) году. Все-таки дождалась второго полета...

Если верить http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2008/09/sts-125-rollout-10am-thursday-sts-129-crew-update/ , то Фишер не полетит. Это всё конечно предварительно, но вариант такой:

похоже, что это первый экипаж с двумя неграми :-)

На сайте SpaceFacts появились неофициальные составы экипажей STS-130 и STS-131.

STS-130: Zamka, Virts, Hire, Robinson, Behnken, Patrick, Garan.

STS-131: Poindexter, Dutton, Metcalf-Lindenburger, Wilson, Mastracchio, Yamazaki, ПО.

[anik]

ПО в STS-131 - это Anderson, согласно тому же сайту.

Цитата из http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000742.html

"Based on what someone at NASA shared with me earlier this week, Garan could be flying as an ISS flight engineer"

Так что Гаран и, как я полагаю, Андерсон после ухода привозящих их шаттлов останутся на МКС в качестве бортинженеров. Просто NASA усиленно твердит, что последняя ротация члена экипажа станции будет в полете STS-128 (замена Копры на Стотт). Ан нет! Я предполагаю, что на смену Тирску в STS-129 прилетит еще кто-то, и этого кого-то заменит Гаран в STS-130, а Гарана сменит Андерсон в STS-131. Впрочем, поживем - увидим...

Но, извините за оффтоп, миссии STS-130 и STS-131 будут проходить в ходе полетов экипажей МКС-21 и МКС-22, а там, насколько мне известно, все "американские" места уже разобраны. То есть получается, как я думаю, что Роскосмос, дабы не уменьшать численность экипажа станции до пяти человек в связи с полетом казахстанского космонавта, продал NASA "российское" место в МКС-21. Хотелось бы, чтобы я ошибся...

[Евгений Румянцев]

Алан Пойндекстер и Джордж Замка повышены в экипажных должностях.

Похоже, переход в командиры после 1-го полёта стал практикой.

[anik]

Цитата с http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000709.html

"Ron Garan (STS-124) has started training for Expedition 27"

Так что Гаран не полетит на STS-130. Он начал подготовку к полету в составе экипажа МКС-27 со стартом в марте 2011 года. Таким образом, моя версия насчет продажи российского места в МКС-21 к счастью не подтвердилась...

На сайте NASASpaceFlight оглашен состав экипажа STS-132, который полетит на МКС 14 мая 2010 года на шаттле "Атлантис" с нашим Малым исследовательским модулем МИМ-1:

"The crew that will fly with Atlantis have been assigned, with Ken Ham selected as the mission's commander, along with Tony Antonelli, who will be piloting Atlantis.

Karen Nyberg, Piers Sellers, Stephen Bowen, and Garrett Reisman will make up the rest of the crew as Mission Specialists."

[Leroy]

Karen Nyberg, Piers Sellers, Stephen Bowen, and Garrett Reisman will make up the rest of the crew as Mission Specialists."

Да, Ризман в январе этого года говорил, что получит назначение в экипаж шаттла.

[Чебурашка]

Интересно, кому доверят командывать заключительным полётом шаттла  :?:  У кого какие ставки, господа  :lol:

Я бы в состав экипажа (не в качестве командира, конечно) взял бы Джона Янга.   :wink:   Было бы глубоко символично :roll: Гленна же взяли, чем Янг хуже

Никаких символических назначений не будет. Хотя для конкретных астронавтов это будет честью -- слетать в последней миссии.
А Янгу жена не позволит лететь, она предупреждала.  :wink:

[carlos]

Слухи о возможном назначении в экипаж Анны Фишер как я понимаю тоже не подтвердились?

[Leroy]

Да не волнуйтесь, не полетит Анюта.  :wink:

[Agasfer]

В последнии полеты скорей всего командирами пойдут оба Джонсона, а пилотами Боу, Хёрлей. Но если ктото из "блатных ветеранов" - Линдси или Джетт решит залезть в последний шаттл, то назначения могут быть другие....Всеж еще надеюсь что может быть полетят не летавшие астронавты набора 1996 года-Кейджл и Калдейро. Хотя, слышал. что у Калдейро проблемы со здоровьем... Жумаю все же "суперназначения" в последнии два экиажа шаттла ждать не приходится
