Student Association Has Diverse Activities in 2003

In the spring 2003 ASGSB newsletter I highlighted the evolution, goals, activities, and responsibilities of theASGSB-Student Association. As we approach our next annual meeting and wrap up the year, let me discuss someof the specific efforts we’ve concerned ourselves with.

Since the student organization is now recognized by the ASGSB, I as president had the privilege of attendingthe spring Board meeting in Washington, DC in March. It was certainly helpful to include the student associationin the Board agenda, and for me, as representative for the students, to hear about the ASGSB at large and its rolewithin the larger space research community. I am sure future presidents (or representatives of the student associa-tion) would find this mid-year opportunity to interact with the governing board and representatives from NASAHeadquarters to be a beneficial and educational experience. This experience provides the means of addressing theconcerns of students (and recent graduates, postdoctoral fellows) who are the future of the space program. Aswell, it is informative to be included in the email communications of the ASGSB Governing Board.

A letter on behalf of the student association was sent to NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe, voicing the needsof university students and post doctoral fellows in space biology, and their effect on the future of the space pro-gram. We discussed this letter at our student meeting in Cape Canaveral, where I drafted the original version,which was edited by my fellow officers. I then received feedback and support from the governing board incompleting the final version.

As we look forward to our next gathering in Huntsville, we are gearing up for our next project. We areplanning to work with Dr. Marian Lewis in introducing school students in the Huntsville area to the ASGSBconference and to space biology in general. One of our important mandates is in the area of education andoutreach—to inspire and share our enthusiasm for space life sciences, and space biology in particular, with thenext generation of students who will enter these fields. I am looking forward to working with my fellow officersand members of the student association at large in this opportunity for us to share the excitement of space lifesciences with school students. In this regard, we are fortunate to have the advice and guidance of educators suchas Dr. Tom Dreschel and Dr. Marian Lewis within the ASGSB.

Our next meeting in Huntsville will bring new members, leadership, and challenges as the student associationcontinues to grow. We hope to have another successful business meeting and student mixer at the ASGSB annualmeeting. Moreover, we can anticipate greater interaction among the students as we work together in outreach.The camaraderie among students that is fostered by the student association at the annual meeting is essential tobuilding a strong network of future space biology researchers and advocates.

Christine Jayarajah (ASGSB–SA President, 2002-2003)

based and flight studies. Student presentation compe-titions will be held, and many exhibits and displayswill be available throughout the meeting. There willalso be a special session on education and outreachmoderated by Tom Dreschel.

As added bonuses this year, a pre-meetingworkshop on “Performing Cell Biology Experimentsin Space” will be held on Wednesday, and a post-meeting workshop on “Astrobiology: Looking into theExtremes of Life” will be held on Sunday.

Social interactions have not been forgotten. Wewill be able to interact on the social scene at theopening reception at the U.S. Space and RocketCenter, and at the banquet. Don’t forget to participatein your Society’s business meeting at the banquet.

I look forward to interacting with all of you herein Huntsville. I hope that you will have an excitingand profitable meeting in Huntsville—one that willalso make you begin to plan to join us again next year.

ASGSB President’s Welcome (continued from cover)

ASGSB NEWSLETTER 19 (3) Fall 2003 3

The loss of Columbia and her crew was a horribletragedy. In the aftermath of this terrible loss of life andvehicle, the BRIC payload survived and brought itsscience home. This is a brief summary of the remark-able story of BRICs on STS-107.

The Biological Research in Canisters (BRIC) series ofpayloads has a long and proud flight history. Prior toSTS-107, BRICs had flown fourteen times—carryingeverything from plants to insects to slime mold intospace aboard Space Shuttles and the Space Station Mir.

The BRIC-14 payload aboard Columbia consisted oftwo separate payload elements. The original BRIC-14contained Dr. Fred Sack’s Ceratodon moss experiment, afollow-on experiment to one flown on STS-87, in eightBRIC-LED class canisters. The second payload element,designated BRIC-14/CE, consisted of Dr. CatharineConley’s Caenorhabditis elegans roundworms loaded intosix cylindrical BRIC-60 class canisters.

The BRIC payload had experienced a picture-perfectflight on STS-107. The hardware functioned well, andthe crew performed operations with precision andenthusiasm. On the morning of February 1, 2003, thewhole ground team was assembled at the ShuttleLanding Facility anxiously awaiting the return ofColumbia, her crew, and their science. Following thecatastrophe, the grief-stricken teams returned to HangarL and tried to grapple with the reality that our payloadswere not coming home. NASA immediately im-pounded all the STS-107 laboratories and documenta-tion. All hope for postflight science seemed lost.

Within the first few days, rumors began filteringback to the KSC payload development team that BRICcanisters were being found intact in east Texas. Search-ers from KSC, some of whom were familiar with theKSC-developed BRICs, accurately described the canis-ters to the anxious team back home. Days turned intoweeks. Canisters began arriving back at the ColumbiaRecovery Hangar at KSC. Seven of the eight BRIC-LEDcanisters and five of the six BRIC-60 canisters wereeventually recovered along with a fragment of the traythat had contained the BRIC-LED canisters and one ofthe two actuator tools used by the crew to conductonboard operations.

The debris from the BRIC payload fell along theflight path of the vehicle. The lightest object, the trayfragment, fell the furthest to the west. Four of the BRIC-60 canisters and the actuator tool, which each weighabout 1.5 pounds, fell in a tight two-by-five mile areasouth of San Augustine, Texas. One outlying BRIC-60canister fell 12 miles to the southeast. The BRIC-LEDcanisters, which each weigh about 4.5 pounds, all fell ina similar tight formation measuring about two-by-sixmiles directly over Bronson, Texas.

Weeks of intense negotiation finally resulted in allBRIC canisters being turned over to the KSC payloadmanagement team on April 24, 2003 for attemptedscience recovery. On April 28 the payload team reas-sembled at KSC to open the canisters; no one knew what

to expect. While all the BRICs showed varying degreesof superficial damage on their external surfaces, thecontents were in remarkably good condition. Someminor melting of plastic internal elements had oc-curred, yet even some unprotected labels were stillidentifiable on the external surfaces. Screws and lidscame easily off of the BRIC-LED canisters. Several of

the BRIC-LEDcanister baseshad to be cutapart in order toremove the moss-containingpolycarbonatePetri DishFixation Units(PDFUs) that hadadhered to one

another and the canister walls. But, the effort was wellworth it. Intact moss cultures, some still in liquidfixative, were recovered and processed. The BRIC-60canisters likewise maintained their integrity wellenough so that the screw-top lids were easily removed.Stacks of polycarbonate Petri dishes in the BRIC-60canisters were intact except for a couple that werecrushed, presumably during impact with the ground.Live C. elegans were recovered from these Petri dishes.The investigator teams were ecstatic, and long days ofpostflight processing ensued.

Several temperature data loggers were also con-tained within the BRIC payload: one in a BRIC-LEDand three in BRIC-60 canisters. They too survivedremarkably intact and told an interesting tale. Down-loaded data from these loggers showed that the BRICshad experienced a near perfect thermal environmentduring the flight, which is important for a passiveexperiment such as the BRIC, followed by several daysof 24-hour periodic cycling corresponding to diurnalheating and cooling on the ground in Texas prior totheir recovery. The sampling frequency of these dataloggers was low, once every 20 minutes, but onemanaged to take an off-scale high data point at 9:01a.m., the reported time that the vehicle was lost.

The tale of the BRIC canisters is bittersweet. Noone would ever suggest that this or any payload wasworth the lives of seven astronauts or the loss of a $1.5billion vehicle. Yet we, the development team at KSC,take great pride and feel fortunate that our hardwarewithstood a hypersonic vehicle disintegration and a 40-mile free fall to earth, all the while protecting itsprecious science cargo.

The BRIC debris is planned to reside permanentlyat the new Space Life Sciences Laboratory at KSC,where its development team currently works.

ASGSB Governing BoardSubmitted by Chris Brown,Chair, Public Affairs Committee

Congressman David Price of North Carolina, a mem-ber of the subcommittee on VA, HUD and IndependentAgencies, requested that the ASGSB Governing Boardgenerate a series of questions regarding NASA’s plansfor life science research and education. Ten questionsrelevant to the concerns of the members of our Societywere offered to Congressman Price, who subsequentlysubmitted them to Administrator O’Keefe. NASA’s an-swers to these questions are now published in “Hear-ings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Ap-propriations, House of Representatives, 108th Congress,First Session, Departments of Veterans Affairs and Hous-ing and Urban Development and Independent AgenciesAppropriations for 2004, Part 4.”

The complete text is reproduced below:

Excerpted from “Hearings Before a Subcommittee ofthe Committee on Appropriations, House of Repre-sentatives, 108th Congress, First Session, Depart-ments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and UrbanDevelopment and Independent Agencies Appropria-tions for 2004, Part 4,” beginning on page 314:

Plan for Life Sciences Research in SpaceQUESTION 3:One of the main functions for the ISS is research in the lifesciences. For any number of reasons (the ISS is still underconstruction, the crew size has been limited to three andnow two after the Columbia disaster), and perhaps otheragency policy reasons, life science research has not taken theprominent role that many in the national and internationalscientific community have hoped for and on behalf of theAgency, lobbied for. Does NASA have a clear policy on lifesciences research on the International Space Station? DoesNASA have a plan for integrating other platforms for spacelife sciences research, in particular unmanned free flyers?

ANSWER 3:NASA has recently completed a ten-year research plan forOBPR (including the ISS and life sciences research), and is inthe process of developing detailed roadmaps which willspecify our approach to and requirements for addressingOBPR’s overarching research questions. Life sciencesresearch plays a critical role in two of the five “organizingquestions” that drive our investments, i.e., our policy on theresearch to be done on the ISS. This Plan is consistent withrecommendations made by the Research Maximization andPrioritization (ReMaP) Task Force in 2002.

Consistent with OBPR’s new strategic framework asdescribed above, the FY 2004 budget proposal expands lifesciences research through planned biomedical research andcountermeasures experiments, including a new HumanResearch Initiative; initiates a limited flight program in highpriority advanced human support technology; reinstatesfunding for plant and animal habitats for planned Centri-fuge research on the International Space Station; expandsour commitment to interdisciplinary research in Physicaland Biological sciences to answer BPR’s organizing ques-

tions; and strongly aligns BPR’s direction and research tothe agency’s vision and mission. NASA has a Free FlyerInitiative (FFI) feasibility study underway in 2002-2003, todetermine whether using unmanned space probes willenable OBPR to conduct unique, affordable researchexperiments that are aligned with the prioritization of theresearch program.

As an aside, NASA acquired some previous experi-ence with free flyers by participating in the Rusian freeflying satellite series known as Cosmos/Bion, from 1975 to1999, for a total of 9 joint Russian-American missions. Avariety of experimental models were flown, ranging frommicrobes to non-human primates. Although the U.S. flewas an invited guest during the first 8 flights (Cosmos series,Intercosmos Program), Bion 11 was the first flight in theseries conducted under contract. The results of theseflights provided significant information to OBPR on theeffects of spaceflight on living organisms.

Ground-Based ResearchQUESTION 4:It is well accepted that any experiment conducted in spacerequires a robust ground-based research component. Forevery space experiment, dozens to hundreds of prelimi-nary experiments, ground controls, and related studiesmust be conducted in laboratories on Earth. In fact, muchcan be learned with respect to gravitational biology that isimportant to our society without the need to conductexperiments in space. What does NASA see as the properratio of ground-based to space based experimentation?What is NASA’s policy on supporting these two intertwin-ing components?

ANSWER 4:For the various OBPR research disciplines, accounting forthe phase of the research in these disciplines, a range of 5-10 ground projects for each flight project is generallyappropriate. For example, currently, radiation research isprimarily a ground-based OBPR program. The resultsfrom ground research could potentially form the founda-tion for a future flight mission that requires a microgravityenvironment.

Research on Earth and research in space complementeach other, forming a cooperative venture. It is NASA’spolicy that what can be done on Earth, will be done onEarth. Also, if the research can be done by other agenciesor the private sector, it is done there. When a researcherproposes a flight experiment, peers review it, and the sametwo questions are asked: Does it need microgravity? Willthe flight research add significantly to the scientific field ofknowledge? Only when the answer is yes to both ques-tions does an experiment fly in space.

The work that is done on the ground is in service toflight research—you do not get one without the other.From the ground program, our sponsored researcherWolfgang Ketterle at MIT won the Nobel Prize in physicsin 2001 for atom lasers—he specifically thanked NASA’sprogram, our human space flight program—for oursponsorship.

Erosion of PI Support and ContinuityQUESTION 5:Scientific advancement sometimes occurs in “Eureka!”moments, but these are rare. It is more often the case that


steady and persistent efforts result in scientific andtechnological progress. While this is perhaps less exciting,it is essential. To be able to progress in the areas of interestto NASA—space biology and medicine, earth science,aerospace technology, and space science—there must be adependable and continuous flow of resources into basicresearch. This has not been the case of late with NASA. Asan example, over the last 5 years, support for investigatorsin Fundamental Space Biology has diminished, the numberof Principal Investigators has fallen by 33% (from 154 to103 for ground-based and flight), support for studentprograms has dropped or in some cases been eliminated,and access to the International Space Station formicrogravity investigations has been limited at best.

In light of the fact that each of the ten goals in the 2003NASA Strategic Plan are intertwined with scientific andtechnological research, development, and training, what isNASA’s policy for maintaining and adequately supportinga capable corps of scientific researchers, ensuring thefuture of this corps by training students and postdoctoralfellows, and ensuring access to space for the greatestnumber of scientific projects?

ANSWER 5:According to the NASA Task Book, the number of Princi-pal Investigators (P.I.s) has fluctuated, but not abnormallyso. Some obvious reasons for the fluctuation are the“rolling wave” of P.I.s and flight opportunities, knownlimited flight opportunities, ISS assembly limitations, anddelayed development/delivery of ISS. Additionally, theResearch Maximization and Prioritization (ReMaP) TaskForce caused delay in funding P.I.s for FY03. The statisticsbelow show the numbers of P.I.s supported in each fiscalyear from l996 to 2003:

-1996: 60 flight, 43 ground-1997: 65 flight, 48 ground-1998: 63 flight, 92 ground-1999: 35 flight, 92 ground-2000: 35 flight, 113 ground-2001: 22 flight, 115 ground-2002: 28 flight, 117 ground-2003: 30 flight, 86 ground

Our intent is to build the ground base of P.I.s back to aminimum of 5-to-1 ratio to flight P.I.s and to increase thenumbers of flight P.I.s by employing international hard-ware, commercial hardware, and express-rack hardwareuntil the full complement of Biological Facilities becomeavailable between 2005-2008. Note that the entire programis under review and the Strategic Roadmap process,resulting from the ReMaP, will enable us to focus thefunding on highest priority areas. The science communitywill be playing an active and significant role in the devel-opment of the Strategic Roadmaps.

With regard to supporting scientific researchers,NASA’s policy is now, and has always been, to educateand inspire our nation’s youth toward careers in scienceand math. The following are some examples that demon-strate the persistent scientific interest in space researchamong students worldwide:

⇑ Nearly 1,000,000 students around the world wereengaged in a plant space biology investigationsimulation conducted coincidentally with thesame experiment on the Space Shuttle missionSTS-87, which flew in 1997. In the first collabora-

tion in space between the United States andUkraine, over 4,500 teachers in the U.S. and 500 inUkraine were trained to use the NASA’s teacher’sguide to instruct these students. The reach wentfar beyond these countries’ borders as electronicmedia enabled dissemination of the teacher’sguide throughout the world.

⇑ In 2000, our science and mathematics posters,teacher’s guides, mathematics briefs, microgravitydemonstrator manuals, microgravity technologyguide, microgravity mission and science litho-graphs, and World Wide Web microgravityresources sheets were distributed at conferencesattended by more than 50,000 elementary andsecondary school teachers and administrators.

Student Training and Workforce DevelopmentQUESTION 6:Within 5 years, some 25% of NASA’s highly trained andskilled workforce will retire(www.aerospacecommission.gov, final report of theCommission on the Future of the U.S. Aerospace Industry,chaired by Robert Walker, former Senator from PA). Dueto the uncertainty of a number of student training pro-grams, the replacement of those retiring engineers andscientists is not keeping pace. Many faculty are loath totake on or encourage students to enter programs of studythat require access to space, because funding for suchprograms is undependable. Students with interest in spacescience represent the best of what we would hope for inour society—enthusiastic, bright and with high potentialfor contribution to future scientific achievement—and yetwe are not supporting them as we should. What isNASA’s policy on student training and support programs,particularly at the undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate levels?

ANSWER 6:NASA offers a diverse set of education and trainingopportunities for students at the undergraduate, graduate,and post-doctoral levels. These include training andemployment programs such as undergraduate/graduatecooperative education; undergraduate, graduate, andresearch assistantships with NASA Principal Investigators;and formal education programs designed to replenish thescience, technology, engineering, and mathematicspipeline. All of these opportunities provide “hands-on”experience and interaction with NASA technical personnel.When feasible, the experience is conducted on site atNASA Centers, providing exposure to NASA’s state-of-the-art facilities. Other projects are conducted at universi-ties with research advisors who serve as Principal Investi-gators for NASA research. Examples of some of NASA’seducational opportunities are provided below:

Undergraduate Student Research Program (USRP)The USRP was established in 2001 with the followingobjectives:

⇑ Provide hands-on, challenging research experi-ences to stimulate continued student interest inthe disciplines aligned with NASA’s researchmission

Provides Questions to NASA

(continued on following pages)


ASGSB Governing Board⇑ Encourage and facilitate science, technology,

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studentinterest in professional opportunities with NASAand its partner organizations

⇑ Highlight the critical need to increase the nation’sundergraduate and graduate STEM skill base,including demographic and geographic diversity

Including the prospective student placements during thesummer of 2003, NASA-USRP has provided valuablehands-on research experience to approximately 325undergraduate students from over 200 colleges anduniversities representing 46 states and Puerto Rico, with50% female and 30% minority placements. While allNASA-USRP participants must have a minimum gradepoint average (GPA) of 3.0, the GPA of the programparticipants selected to date averages approximately 3.7.

NASA Science and Technology Scholarship ProgramIn addition to USRP, NASA has developed preliminaryplans for a new “scholarship-for-Service” Initiative. Theworking title of this program is the NASA Science andTechnology Scholarship Program, or NASA STSP. NASASTSP is envisioned as a competitive program for promisingstudents interested in pursuing NASA mission-relateddegree fields; students who receive scholarship supportwould be obligated to enter the NASA workforce for a pre-determined period of time. However, NASA does nothave the statutory authority to establish such obligations.To remedy this, last year NASA submitted a legislativeproposal to Congress that would authorize NASA torequire such a service obligation in exchange for scholar-ship assistance, and has been working with the HouseScience Committee and Chairman Boehlert to finalize thislanguage. We understand that the Committee may includethis authorization when it marks up H.R. 1085, the NASAFlexibility Act of 2003.

The Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP)The Graduate Student Researchers Program (GSRP) wasestablished in 1987 with the goal of cultivating research tieswith the academic community, and broadening the base ofstudents pursuing advanced degrees in science, mathemat-ics, and engineering. The objectives of the program are to:

⇑ Meet national requirements in aeronautics andspace science by increasing the number of highlytrained scientists and engineers in aeronautics andspace related disciplines

⇑ Increase the number of underrepresented groupsin science, mathematics, engineering and technol-ogy

⇑ Develop a pool of STEM talent to support nationalgoals and NASA’s future workforce

⇑ Establish research partnerships with universitiesto support graduate study in STEM

The program supports U.S. citizens who are pursuingMasters and Doctorate degrees in fields directly related tothe NASA mission. The awards are for one year, and arerenewable for a maximum of three years, contingent onacademic performance, research progress, and recommen-dation of the research adviser. Fellows are selected byNASA’s discipline scientists from the Strategic Enterprisesand Centers in response to mission related research.Participants represent all states, Puerto Rico and theDistrict of Columbia.

National Research Council Research Associateship ProgramsThe National Research Council’s (NRC) ResearchAssociateship Programs, established in 1954, offer awards forpostdoctoral and senior scientists and engineers to conductresearch in residence at over 120 federal laboratories in theUnited States. NASA’s centers together constitute the largestof all Federal laboratories participating in the NRCAssociateship Program. The goals of this program are 1) toprovide advanced training and opportunities for researchcollaborations for highly qualified postdoctoral and visitingscientists, and 2) to enhance the research conducted in theparticipating Federal laboratories. The NRC recruits on anational and international basis for applicants to theseprograms in all fields of science and engineering. Applica-tions are reviewed four times each year by panels of expertsfrom U.S. universities and private industry.

Applicants selected for awards spend from three monthsto three years at the laboratories. Federal sponsors areapproved for program participation based on their ability tosupport postgraduate research in a variety of engineeringand science disciplines.

University Research Centers (URC)The URC program is designed to achieve a broad-based,competitive aerospace research capability among theNation’s minority institutions that will foster new aerospacescience and technology concepts and expand the Nation’sbase for aerospace research and development. The objectivesof the program are:

⇑ To perform scientific and/or engineering researchwhich contributes substantially to the NASAmission;

⇑ To develop mechanisms for increased participationby faculty and students of these minority institu-tions in mainstream research; and

⇑ To significantly increase the number ofunderrepresented minority and disabled studentsreceiving undergraduate and graduate degrees inNASA-related disciplines.

There are currently 17 (11 HBCUs and 6 OMUS) URCgrantees. Over the past five years, URC students haveearned 1,024 degrees, of which 607 were bachelors, 345masters, and 72 doctoral. Additionally, during that five-yearperiod, 2030 refereed publications were produced by thefaculty and students of the URC program.

Harriet G. Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship ProgramThe mission of the Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship Program(JPFP) is to increase the number of women, minorities, andindividuals with disabilities participating in science, technol-ogy, engineering, and mathematics disciplines of interest toNASA. Students are provided financial support andexposure to culturally diverse role models and mentors forthree years. To be eligible, the students must have beenaccepted for the first year of a Masters or Doctorate program.The JPFP provides three major program components:

1. Mentor-Protégé Initiative—exposes the fellows to aNASA researcher, who along with the fellow’sadvisor, functions as a sounding board for ideasabout research and careers throughout the program.

2. Summer Research Mini-Grant Program—providesthe fellows with hands-on NASA research experi-ence.


3. Technical Exchange Symposium—provides anaudience for the fellows to deliver presentationsto other scientists, engineers, faculty advisors andfellows.

To date, 60 fellowships have been awarded.

Model Institutions for ExcellenceMIE is an infrastructure-building program that began in1994 as a comprehensive, nationwide effort to upgrade thequality of science, engineering and mathematics education.The program focuses on the recruitment and retention ofunderrepresented minority students. NASA, in conjunc-tion with the National Science Foundation sponsors two ofsix MIE grantees (Bowie State University and SpelmanCollege). The expected outcomes of this program are:

⇑ Increasing rates of retention⇑ Increasing numbers of underrepresented minority

students pursuing degrees in mathematics,science, engineering, and technology

⇑ Developing graduate school preparation⇑ Engaging more students in research experiences

More than 230 students currently participate in theprogram.

NASA Undergraduate Scholars ProgramThis program is designed to encourage students, particu-larly the underserved, to develop exceptional scholarshipin STEM disciplines through research-based programs.Students are provided stipends and summer researchopportunities at a NASA Center. The objectives of theprogram are to:

• Attract a diverse cohort of talented students toSTEM academic programs.• Retain students in technical curricula throughcompletion of the undergraduate degree.• Increase the number of students prepared topursue graduate degrees and employment opportuni-ties at NASA.• Develop and mentor students.• Expose students to NASA-related research.

Currently, 543 students are participating in the program.

International ObligationsQUESTION 7:NASA has established partnerships in the internationalcommunity to carry out important tasks, not the least ofwhich is the International Space Station. In the currentworld climate, the civilian pursuit of space explorationprovides a framework for nations to maintain peacefulworking relationships even in the face of other differences.

After the STS 107 disaster, access to the ISS has becomeeven more difficult. As the major partner in the Interna-tional Space Station, what is NASA doing to ensure thatthe agreements with its international partners are beinghonored?

ANSWER 7:NASA is working closely with its International SpaceStation (ISS) partners to access the impact of the loss ofSpace Shuttle Columbia and her crew on ISS operations,and to develop and implement near-term mitigationstrategies for the period during which the Space Shuttlefleet is grounded. This situation is being addressed as aPartnership and in accordance with ISS agreements.

The ISS Multilateral Coordination Board (MCB),chaired by NASA Deputy Administrator Fred Gregory, onFebruary 26, 2003, approved an option to maintain acontinued crew presence on ISS until the Space Shuttle isable to return to flight. This option requires that the ISScrew size be reduced from three to two, that the April 2003Soyuz flight be used for crew exchange, and that theRussian Progress flight schedule be accelerated to supportcrew and ISS consumable needs until the Space Shuttlereturns to flight. This option also requires the addition oftwo Russian Progress logistics vehicles to the ISS manifest(one in 2003 and one in 2004) and assumes that the SpaceShuttle and the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Auto-mated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) will be flying in 2004. Thisoption was adopted by the ISS Partnership contingentupon the ability of the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(Rosaviakosmos) to receive additional funding. As aresult, while NASA concentrates on issues related to thereturn to flight of the Space Shuttle, Rosaviakosmos andthe space agencies of Canada, Japan, and Europe continueto pursue funding of this option that will support contin-ued crew presence on orbit. For example, Rosaviakosmoshas informed NASA that the Russian Government hasadvanced Rosaviakosmos all of its 2003 ISS funding toassist in the acceleration of logistics vehicles. Similarly,each of the other space agencies has made modest propos-als to Rosaviakosmos that are being evaluated. Each ofthese activities is taking place within the framework of theinternational agreements that govern the relationshipamong the ISS Partners.

NASA has made clear its appreciation to the entire ISSPartnership for its continuing strong support during thisdifficult period. NASA has pledged to continue frequentconsultations with its partners during the Columbiamishap investigation and the assessment of the impact ofSpace Shuttle return to flight on ISS assembly and opera-tions. In keeping with the ISS Memoranda of Understand-ing, these consultations will continue to be held at alllevels, including at the programmatic and technical level,through the Space Station Control Board; at the programmanagement level, through the Multilateral CoordinationBoard; and at the highest agency level, through the Headsof Agency.

Explaining NASA’s Value to the PublicQUESTION 8:In the light of the difficult economic forecast, the cost of theIraqi war and the STS 107 disaster, the value of NASA tosociety is being questioned. These are fair questions, asany agency that receives some $15 billion annually shouldhave a positive impact on society. What is NASA doing toexplain, in a far-reaching and meaningful way, the value ofits activities related to space exploration, the InternationalSpace Station, biomedical research?

ANSWER 8:One outcome of this tragedy is a new knowledge andappreciation for how human space flight (HSF) affects allof our lives. Value is measured in many ways: tangibleand intangible, scientific and practical, past and future.The renowned physicist Freeman Dyson once said, “TheAmerican space program is at its most creative when it is ahuman adventure.” In this context, he goes on to say thatscience is much more than just space, and that space is

Provides Questions to NASA (continued)


ASGSB Governing Boardmuch more than just science. We couldn’t agree more.HSF is also technology, education, human health, andindustrial entrepreneurship. For example, NASA researchset world records for crop yields for wheat and potatoesusing elevated oxygen, hydroponics, and intense lighting.The world record for wheat in the field is 230 bushels peracre. NASA’s highest wheat yield was almost 5 timeshigher, at about 1074 bushels per acre in a 120-day lifecycle in controlled environments. The potato yield wasabout twice the previous world record. These findingsdemonstrate there is still plenty of room to improve yieldsof many field crops. Several growers as well as largecorporations use the hydroponic production techniquesdeveloped by NASA for producing seed potatoes. NASAwas the first to demonstrate this concept on a productionscale.

We are carefully collecting and validating tangiblecontributions made by HSF, and we have been genuinelysurprised at the breadth and depth of these contributions.We are also in the process of adding a new “factoid” on aNASA website to educate all of us on these contributions.While our current research community is familiar with thetraditional benefits of technologies, such as the bioreactoror our basic research, which has clearly changed thedirections of research fields in animal research, medicine,materials, combustion, and fluid physics, there are othersthat surprised us and perhaps will also surprise you:

⇑ Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point(HACCP) is a system for assuring the safety offood that has become the standard used world-wide by the food industry, and NASA invented itduring Mercury and Gemini to assure the safetyof foods produced for space flight. Thoughunused for years, HACCP has become the goldstandard for food safety monitoring in the past 10-15 years, and is now mandated by the Food andDrug Administration and the U.S. Department ofAgriculture for several products and is taughtinternationally to food companies to guaranteethe safety of manufactured foods.

⇑ Medical telemetry developed to monitor astro-nauts was incorporated into the standard care forIntensive and Cardiac Care Units (ICUs andCCUs).

In addition, we learned only recently of items inde-pendently assessed as being owed to HSF that now accountfor billions in economic value. These include: 1)NASTRAN—used to prove concepts and prevent cata-strophic failures in everything from cruise missiles,chemical plants, refineries, and rail vehicles to next-generation fighter aircraft, sports cars, and skyscrapers.According to independent literature, NASTRAN resultedboth from HSF programmatic needs and from aerospace/aviation needs; and 2) MEMS’ growing 53+ billion per yearmarket that ranges from pacemakers to inertial guidancesystems to next generation joysticks. All are traceable toNASA’s space flight requirements (both human androbotic), according to professors at Stanford University,who produced the first gas chromatograph on a wafer andthe first micro-machined accelerometer for NASA. A moredirect example from OBPR comes from a 1997 survey by

Hertzfeld at George Washington University in 1997: fifteenfirms cumulatively contributed over $1.5 billion in valueadded to the economy over the past twenty-five years. Thecumulative NASA R&D investment in the technologiesrepresented by the products of these firms was approxi-mately $64 million. An additional $200 million in privateR&D from those companies was stimulated by the NASAinvestment.

Since the Columbia tragedy, NASA has redoubled itsefforts to inform the American public concerning thetangible benefits of human space research, the costs of HSFas compared to other citizen activities and governmentexpenditures, and how our free enterprise system is seededby the basis research provided through space flightresearch.

HSF has frequently yielded discovery and benefits tothe taxpayer—1000’s of peer-reviewed scientific publica-tions, novel insights into biological and physical processes,with utility to American industry, and a broad range ofunanticipated applications. HSF research offers somethingnever before achievable in the history of humankind—aglimpse of what our life, what nature itself, is like in aworld without gravity. There are scientific problems andtheories, new and old, that can be examined for the firsttime. An equally important goal is to educate and inspireour nation’s youth toward careers in science and math thatwill enable America to maintain a compelling capability inthis new century. In truth, the need for humankind toexplore is enabled and fulfilled by human space flight.

There are people at this moment on the InternationalSpace Station performing research of the same spirit andfor the same purpose as the crew of STS-107. We arecommitted to their safety and our shared mission.Through biological and biomedical research conducted toensure the health, safety, and performance of astronauts,contributions to human health ensue. The very characterof research begins with the ability to observe, to be able torecognize something new and valuable, and then toenvision a new direction that so often cannot be anticipatedor pre-programmed into a machine.

The crew intervenes when there is a problem, the crewobserves and is witness to discovery, and the crew per-forms functions that cannot be achieved by groundcommand. The time delay in communications oftenpreempts the use of ground commands.

As witnesses to discovery, we are surprised far moreoften with a space experiment than those conducted in ourlabs on Earth. Serendipity—the unintended, unplannedadvances in knowledge and benefits—cannot be realizedby machines. Indeed, the crewmembers themselves areexperimental subjects, who are also performing complexprocedures on specimens, such as rodents and otheranimal models.

Finally, of no less importance to these troubled times,NASA’s HSF program brings people together and adds tothe spirituality in all of our lives. The seven astronautswho sacrificed their lives on Columbia are an example ofthe multi-cultural productive coexistences that can—anddo—exist around the world. Human space flight fostersthese experiences and shares them with humankindaround the globe.


Centrifuge on ISSQUESTION 9:For scientists investigating the role of gravity, access to thefree fall environment of low earth orbit is, at this time, theonly way to achieve microgravity conditions. The ISS, whichprovides this free fall environment, allows scientists to askquestions about the role that gravity plays in biology,physics, etc. by conducting experiments in the (essentially)gravity free environment of space. An important tool tohave on board for the gravity studies is a centrifuge, inwhich fractional levels of gravity (between 0 and 1) can beachieved. This will allow investigators to conduct studies ongravity threshold levels (i.e., how much gravity is needed)for basis biological and physical phenomena, to mimic lunar(0.16 g) or Martian (0.38 g) gravity levels and to determinethe usefulness of artificial gravity in maintaining astronauthealth on long-term missions. Additionally, an on-boardcentrifuge which provides Earth normal gravity (1 g) is theideal scientific control for experiments investigating theabsence of gravity and would allow scientists to separate outother space environment factors as possible causative agents.Given the value that a centrifuge brings to gravitationalstudies, what is the current status of the ISS centrifuge?

ANSWER 9:A large diameter Centrifuge has always been a key elementof planning for biological and biomedical research on ISSand has been consistently considered essential by externalreviewers on multiple occasions over the past 15 years.Responsibility for delivery of the Centrifuge, the LifeSciences Glovebox (LSG), and the CAM rests with NASA’sOffice of Spaceflight (OSF), based on their barter for JapaneseExperiment Module (JEM) launch offsets. OBPR is the enduser of this facility.

Based on recent communications at project and HQlevels between NASA, the Japanese Space Agency (NASDA),and the Government of Japan (GOJ), it is clearly understoodthat NASDA and the GOJ will meet their commitments.NASDA successfully completed the delta Preliminary DesignReview in March 2002. Project teams at NASA and NASDAcontinue to work to a launch date of April 2007, withprevious and current schedules demonstrating appropriatemilestones.

ChinaQUESTION 10a:China plans to send its first astronauts (called taikonauts)into orbit on its Shenzhou spacecraft in October. As reportedin the New York Times (3/14/03) they are also pursuingmultibillion-dollar programs that include reaching the moonby 2010. In addition to statements from top Chinese spaceofficials that they are there to stay, one of their goals is toexploit the abundant lunar supply of helium-3, a rare isotopeon Earth that could provide clean fuel source for nuclearfusion reactors.

How is NASA reacting to this?

ANSWER 10a:NASA is not in direct contact with the Chinese Governmentregarding its human space flight activities and has no plans

for such discussions. NASA strives to be cognizant ofspace activities in China and the rest of the world, butNASA’s programs are developed based on NASA’s ownstrategic plan, guided by national policy and legislation.It is NASA’s understanding that China has publiclyexpressed its interest in placing a human into space inthe 2003 or 2004 time frame and in the future explorationof the moon. China has stated that it is committed todeveloping a long-term capability to launch humans intospace in a manner similar to the United States andRussia. China’s recent successful launches of theShenzhou spacecraft represent a new capability in theirspace program, but these launches have no direct impacton NASA.

QUESTION 10b:Do we have specific plans to go beyond low earth orbit(LEO) and return to the moon with permanent settle-ments? What is NASA’s policy on the exploration/utilization of Mars, both with robotic and humanmissions?

ANSWER 10b:The United States and NASA face diverse opportunitiesand challenges in contemplating how and when—andfor what reasons—human explorers will once moreleave low earth orbit. For the past several years, NASAhas examined a wide range of missions, systemsconcepts, and options. No final decisions have beenmade concerning approaches or destinations for futurehuman exploration. We have examined options forfuture human and robotic missions including science-driven activities within the Earth’s neighborhood, aswell as the surface of the Moon, and eventually Mars.The international campaign of Mars exploration—inwhich the United States plays the central role—contin-ues this year with the exciting opportunities presentedby NASA’s twin Mars Exploration Rovers to belaunched this summer.

QUESTION 10c:How do these plans fit with the current emphasis on theInternational Space Station in low Earth orbit?

ANSWER 10c:During the past decade, NASA’s advanced planning hasconsistently identified the International Space Station(ISS) as a critical research and development capability.The ISS will allow us to resolve fundamental questionsand develop mitigation approaches to the effects oflong-duration human space flight. The central chal-lenges include the long-duration effects of microgravity,radiation environments, and human factors. In addition,ISS will serve as a test bed for a range of new technolo-gies and systems needed for future human and roboticexploration missions.

As deployment of the ISS continues, NASA willcontinue its planning for future human/robotic explora-tion and development of space, including the use of theISS in critical research and development roles.

Provides Questions to NASA (continued)


Christopher S. Brown, Director of the NASA Specialized Center for Plant GravitationalBiology, Director of the NC Space Initiative, Associate Director of the NC Space Grant Consor-tium and Visiting Associate Professor of Botany at NC State University.

As members of the ASGSB, we recognize that a thorough understanding of the impact ofgravity and the space environment on biology is essential for the success of all human mis-sions, and many robotic missions, to space. As well, we realize that the force of gravity hastremendous influence on the form and function of Earth bound organisms. As one of theforemost organizations in this arena, the ASGSB has an important role in promoting gravita-tional and space biology research and the future of human space exploration. As a society wemust strive to excel in four areas.

We must support and encourage the best research in gravitational and space biology.⇑ Our annual meeting provides a venue for the sharing of important research results

and the forging of fruitful collaborations, often across discipline areas. We mustsupport this meeting by our presence, our continuing high quality presentations, andinvited manuscripts.

⇑ Funding for research from the federal sector and space flight opportunities fromNASA are critical if we are to maintain and enhance our field. It is incumbent on oursociety to assist NASA in pushing for increases whenever possible. If this is notpossible, then we must insist on a level of stability that is critical for the continuitynecessary for productive research programs.

⇑ When our society’s budget allows, we must provide seed funding for young investi-gators and for other projects that fulfill the ASGSB mandate.

We must educate and train students.⇑ Our society must continue with its excellent history of embracing students at the

annual meeting through poster competitions and student travel support.⇑ We must work closely with NASA and others to advocate for increased funding for

student and postdoctoral traineeships.⇑ We must continue sponsorship of the ASGSB Student Association and work closely to

provide opportunities for networking and collaboration.We must maintain a responsive outreach effort.⇑ We must effectively convey the importance of gravitational and space biology re-

search, education and training to elected officials and supply them with the informa-tion, and encouragement, they need to make informed decisions on science policy andbudgets.

⇑ Likewise we must maintain an open dialog with NASA and other federal officialsregarding the importance of gravitational and space biology.

⇑ Finally, as a society we must take every opportunity to converse with the generalpublic regarding the relevance and value of the research and education that ourmembers conduct, through personal contact, media opportunities, and the ASGSBwebsite.

We must strive to increase membership in the ASGSB⇑ Our society draws strength from the diversity of scholarship that individual members

bring. Emphasis should be placed on increasing the number of members from allrelevant disciplines.

⇑ Our society draws strength from its corporate members, not only from their financialcontribution but also from the corporate perspective that they bring to our core effortsof research, education, and outreach. Efforts should be made to increase the involve-ment of industrial partners.

If elected president, I will work diligently with the governing board, the committee chairs,the executive director, and all the members to strengthen our society in these four areas.

President-Elect Candidates Present


Karl H. Hasenstein, Professor, Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette.The decision to offer my services as president of ASGSB results from various factors: I am a long-term

member of our society (since 1986) and have experienced the benefits of societal interactions. I am convincedthat we can profit individually and collectively from constructive interaction and consultations that arepossible only among members of a society that has the well-defined goal of exploring the effects of gravity.Of course, such consultations take place during our annual meeting but they can be expanded to include,e.g., planning for experiments, events, public engagements, teaching, and other outreach activities.

The unique perspective of being engaged in exciting space exploration will and does appeal to the publicat large and political decision makers, as well as students (our future membership). I will work toward thegoal of strengthening ASGSB as a premier scientific society with the unique focus on gravity and developingthe tools to study its effects. ASGSB is comprised of a membership which, like most scientists, are knownand appreciated for their sense of independence, creativity, and thoroughness. I intend to tap these resourcesto promote the recognition, influence, and quality of ASGSB.

No other society has a membership with such tremendous experience and knowledge about the mostpervasive physical force in the evolution of life, and the incredibly creative ways of studying its many effects.This uniqueness is paired with an impressive breadth in experimental and technical know-how gained fromdeveloping amazingly diverse projects in an interactive manner. ASGSB is uniquely qualified to integrate thescience and engineering aspects for flight and ground experiments. Participating in the streamlining, devel-opment, and outreach activities of future flight and ground experiments will reduce costs and shorten thedevelopment time of the experiments. I believe that such activities are not only at the heart of the ASGSBmission but will also lead to a greater influence and return for ever thinner resources. I intend to makeASGSB a reliable consultant for Congress in the development and definition of future space policy. Needlessto say, such activities will also provide good arguments for increased funding for life science experimenta-tion, ISS utilization, ground-based research, and education. I am convinced that developing scientific quality,promoting academic and public education, and recruiting of new members will improve the influence andvitality of our society.

The society was founded as an exchange for space biology. In the early years it grew rapidly, mesmeriz-ing a new generation of scientists, myself included, but became stagnant as the funding for space biologydeclined. The subsequent revitalization of space biology occurred without increasing the membership orinfluence of the ASGSB. Given the likely safety-related decreases in flight volume, the cost and lead time per(flight) experiment are likely to increase. We must do our very best to offset increased operating costs bybetter funding for ground and flight-based research. ASGSB is uniquely qualified to serve as the mostsignificant voice for this process. I strongly believe in making ASGSB a professional shelter for all involvedin space biology.

The International Space Station demonstrates that space, the last frontier of our species, cannot besuccessfully explored by one single nation. The same principle is true for many aspects of science and mostscientific societies. The broader the exchange, the greater the mutual understanding between scientific andcommercial endeavors. I believe it is vital for the ASGSB to grow from its strong national base to become thepremier international society and spark scientific and political engagement at home and abroad.

Although ASGSB must include education for the public and help shape the opinions of political decisionmakers, the best service may well be to provide strong incentives for students, from undergraduates to post-graduates, to pursue space biology and membership in ASGSB. The stronger the presence of space biologyon university campuses and colleges, the better the foundation for future space scientists and the moremeaningful the service and shelter that ASGSB can provide.

Our training as scientists fosters a rational approach to problem solving, teaching, and societal activities.This was my mind set when I prepared for many years, often inspired by ASGSB meetings and friends, anexperiment that was eventually flown on STS-107. My own emotions after the accident, the sudden renewedpublic interest in NASA’s space program, and the ensuing investigations all indicated that any endeavor canonly succeed when emotions supplement rational processes. Then we learn and inspire best. I am dedicatedto the cause of ASGSB and will work diligently on motivating our present and future membership.

Their “Vision” for ASGSB


Nina Strömgren Allen, Professor, NorthCarolina State University, Raleigh.

The science community was deeply sad-dened by the loss of the STS-107 mission onColumbia, Saturday, February 1, 2003. This losshas led to the questioning of the mission andeffectiveness of NASA and may have jeopar-dized NASA funding. Space is one of the lastfrontiers, and exploring it in all its facets isinspiring and will also lead to new knowledge.It will be very important for the AmericanSociety for Gravitational and Space Biology andits members to educate the public and legisla-tors regarding the relevance of and need forcontinuing space research. As a society weneed to reach out to broaden our membershipbase and to interact and attract the best scien-tists here and abroad to our mission. As asociety we must continue to develop ways tobest mentor undergraduate and graduatestudents and postdoctoral fellows working inthe various areas of research related to spacescience.

Elison B. Blancaflor, Senior Research Associate,Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ardmore,OK.

I joined the ASGSB in 1992 during my firstyear in graduate school and I still recall howimportant my first ASGSB meeting in Tucsonwas. The opportunity to meet with the topscientists in the field back then has come a longway in shaping my academic career. Thereforeas a society we should strengthen our efforts tobroaden our membership base and providemore career opportunities for our students andpostdoctoral members. In addition to ASGSBawards for student presentations, the establish-ment of competitive ASGSB grants to supportindividual graduate student research will beone way to accomplish this goal. Moreover,with the recent Columbia tragedy there is aneed to increasingly communicate the signifi-cance of space biology research to the scientificcommunity and the general public. Activeparticipation at local community forums andestablishing partnerships with local schools willgo a long way in attaining this goal.

Governing Board Candidates

Robert Ferl, Professor, University of Florida,Gainesville.

Fundamental research that is strong, welldeveloped, and well presented should continueto be the major goal of both the Society and itsmembership. Such research engenders theinterest and respect of the larger scientificcommunity and roots public outreach incutting-edge endeavors. Current circumstancesalso require that the Society extend its presenceand activism in the development of spaceresearch policy. Dramatic changes on thehorizon, such as the establishment of an NGOfor the utilization of the ISS and a more hesitantpublic climate, make active participation in thebroader scientific process increasingly impor-tant. Therefore the Society should continue toadvocate for space biology research beforeNASA and the public, seek links with otheragencies and societies that could benefit fromour science, and participate wherever possiblein the discussions that will shape our researchcontext—all from a respected position builtupon the quality of our science.

Eberhard Horn, Professor of Neurology andGravitational Physiology, University of Ulm,Germany.

Our world has changed during the lastyears. Basic research came extremely under thecontrol of the “Benefit for Men” dogma. Scien-tists are requested by politicians to think moreeconomically, to define the success of theirresearch before doing the experiment. Thisattitude has disastrous consequences for thefuture. Does it mean that the enthusiasm forbasic research and, in particular, for research incritical areas such as gravitational biology willcollapse? I can’t believe it. I know that we haveto fight against such a Zeitgeist and for thecontinuation of Space exploration. Our weap-ons are the 3 E’s: Enthusiasm, Experience,Education. We have to express and explain thatgravitational biology has the same importancefor the community as most of the other researchfields. We have to spread our knowledgeamong the community. We have to work withthe young generation to select those who sharethe enthusiasm for Space with us. It is for thisthat I will fight in the future.


Patrick H. Masson, Professor of Genetics, Universityof Wisconsin-Madison.

Genomics and proteomics are two of several fastadvancing disciplines that add to an impressivearsenal of genetic, biochemical, cell biological, physi-ological, and ecological strategies to allow the inte-grated analysis of biological processes with an effi-ciency never seen before. At the same time, rapidadvances in communication technologies allow betterinternational cooperation, and facilitate outreachactivities. ASGSB has the opportunity to ensure thatresearch in Gravitational and Space Biology takesadvantage of this integrated approach and leads theway in the development and utilization of noveltechnologies. This will be accomplished by the activepromotion of programs that fund multidisciplinaryresearch as well as risky and innovative projects inSpace Biology, and by organizing programs that allowexchange of students, investigators, information andresearch tools between international laboratories andsocieties. It also is imperative that ASGSB continues topromote Space Biology research to undergraduate andgraduate students, as well as to postdoctoral fellowsand other young investigators. Finally, advertising theimportant benefits of space biology research in Wash-ington, DC, and to the general public will enhance thevisibility of the program.

Peter H.U. Lee, MD/PhD candidate at Brown MedicalSchool, Providence, RI.

The future of ASGSB and the field of Gravitationaland Space Biology lays in the hands of today’s youthsand students of all ages. While the Society has showngreat leadership in promoting its educational objec-tives, such leadership requires a keen understandingof the ever-changing academic and research environ-ment. I support ASGSB’s leading role in engaging andeducating the public, encouraging educational initia-tives, while also promoting quality scientific research.ASGSB must capitalize on its unique position to bothengage today’s students by affording them the bestopportunities, as well as facilitate the cooperationbetween academia and industry. I hope my 6 yearswith ASGSB, including serving as the foundingPresident of the ASGSB-Student Association and beinga long-time Education Committee member will serveme well on the Governing Board. In times of uncer-tainty in our field, I remain confident that ASGSB willcontinue to play a leading role in ensuring that thefuture will remain bright for both today’s andtomorrow’s scientists.

Ronald L. Schaefer, Ph.D., Lockheed MartinSpace Operations, Moffett Field, CA.

My vision for ASGSB is for the society tostrengthen as the premier professional societysupporting the research of space life scientists.I believe the Society should embrace NASA’smandate to use science as a means of enhancingsocietal benefits and promote this to Congressand to the public. The link of research andsocietal benefits was reinforced by Administra-tor O’Keefe’s vision statement “to improve lifehere” and his mission statement “to understandand protect our home planet.” ASGSB mustbuild on the long-standing legacy of publicinterest in space. Given the life science thrustas a major research element of NASA’s Office ofBiological and Physical Research, the mission ofour Society is in close alignment with thenatural interest of the American public inseeking to understand life’s mysteries andconfront life’s challenges. All three NASAvision statements center on extending knowl-edge about life: “To improve life here; To extendlife to there; To find life beyond.”

Nancy D. Searby, Scientist, Life SciencesDivision, NASA Ames Research Center.

Space biology research is transitioning fromshort-term Shuttle-based to longer InternationalSpace Station (ISS)-based research. Even asNASA works to return the Shuttle to flight,many major ISS life sciences research facilitiesare nearing completion. Other changes beingdiscussed that will influence space biologyresearch include establishment of an ISSResearch Institute. ASGSB should influencethese changes to the benefit of excellent spacebiology research, and should communicate howupcoming changes will influence eachmember’s interdisciplinary research contribu-tions. We need to reach out to American andinternational scientists and societies unfamiliarwith space biology research to inspire them tojoin us in asking the important science ques-tions, and publishing results in the highestquality journals. We need to continue toeducate the public, congress, students in K-12th

grade, and graduate and post-graduate stu-dents about future research opportunities andthe importance of gravitational and spacebiology research.

Describe Their “Vision” for ASGSB


NASA, University of CaliforniaLaunch Bold New Collaboration

On Monday, Sept. 22, NASA and the Univer-sity of California signed a ten-year contractvalued at more than $330 million dollars, a first-of-its-kind for NASA, to establish a UniversityAffiliated Research Center (UARC). UC SantaCruz will manage the UARC as the lead campuson the project. The UARC will provide a uniquecombination of research and educational capa-bilities to meet NASA’s mission requirementsand to develop future human resources intechnology and science.

“The UARC moves NASA and universitycollaborations in a whole new direction,” said G.Scott Hubbard, Ames Center Director. “Typi-cally, universities focus on fundamental re-search. With the new UARC, we are breakingdown traditional institutional barriers to col-laborate on mission-driven research that is onNASA’s critical path,” he added.

The UARC’s educational mission will enablestudents and university researchers to workside-by-side with Ames researchers on missioncritical problems. Overall, the UARC willprovide long-term continuity of top-tier researchtalent focused on NASA’s growingmultidisciplinary mission needs. The closecollaboration with an established universitysystem will enable the UARC to offer careeropportunities to attract and retain the bestresearchers.

Astronaut John M. Grunsfeld Succeeds Shannon Lucid as NASA Chief Scientist

The new Chief Scientist at NASA Headquarters is John Grunsfeld, a native of Chicago and Ph.D. inphysics from the University of Chicago. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1992 and is a veteranof four Space Shuttle missions, including two to repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope. Hetook over as Chief Scientist in September and is the fourth person to hold this position, which wasoriginally created by former NASA Administrator Dan Goldin.

As NASA’s Chief Scientist, he’ll work to ensure the scientific merit of the agency’s programs.“John has a deep interest in astronautical science and has the hands-on experience to back up what hehas taught in the classroom,” said Administrator O’Keefe. “With his background in physics andastronomy, John is a natural selection to direct NASA’s important space-based science objectives.”

After serving nearly two years in Washington, Shannon Lucid will return to Johnson Space Centerin Houston to assist the agency’s Return to Flight efforts. She was selected as Chief Scientist in Febru-ary 2002. During her tenure, one of Lucid’s most important tasks was to work with the offices ofBiological and Physical Research, Earth Science, Space Science, and Space Flight to develop a compre-hensive plan for prioritization of research on board the International Space Station.

NASA Announces Space RadiationResearch Grants

NASA announced in July, 28 researchers to conductground-based research in space radiation biology andspace radiation shielding materials.

Sponsored by NASA’s Office of Biological andPhysical Research (OBPR), this research will use theNASA Space Radiation Laboratory (SRL) and theAlternating Gradient Synchrotron at the Department ofEnergy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on LongIsland, N.Y. The SRL is a new $34 million irradiationfacility scheduled to start delivering beams for experi-ments in Fall/Winter of 2003. The facilities providebeams of radiation that are the same type and energy asfound in space. They will be used for studies in radia-tion physics and biology in order to accurately predictand manage radiation risk in space.

NASA received 67 proposals in August 2002 inresponse to this research announcement. All proposalswere peer-reviewed by scientific and technical expertsfrom academia, government, and industry. The grantstotal approximately $28 million dollars and average $1million dollars each over a four-year period.

“This research is the first step in implementingNASA’s Space Radiation Initiative approved by Con-gress in FY 2003,” said Guy Fogleman, director ofOBPR’s Bioastronautics Research Division, Washington.“The results are essential for reducing the crew healthrisks from space radiation ...,” he said. Fogleman addedknowledge gained from this initiative would expand andimprove NASA’s understanding of radiation healtheffects with obvious benefits on Earth.

The list of awardees is available at:http://www.nasa.gov/news/research/awardees.html

NASA NEWS


Imagine a human spacecraft crew voyagingthrough space. A satellite sends a warning; energeticparticles are being accelerated from the sun’s corona,sending dangerous radiation toward their spacecraft,but the crew isn’t worried. Long before their journey,researchers on Earth conducted experiments toaccurately measure the hazards of space radiationand developed new materials and countermeasuresto protect them.

To ensure the safety of spacecraft crews, NASAbiologists and physicists will perform thousands ofexperiments at the new $34 million NASA SpaceRadiation Laboratory (NSRL), commissioned inOctober at the Department of Energy’s (DOE)Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y. Thelaboratory, built in cooperation between NASA andDOE, is one of the few facilities that can simulate theharsh space radiation environment.

“Scientists will use this facility as a research toolto protect today’s crews on the International SpaceStation and to enable the next generation of explorersto safely go beyond Earth’s protected neighborhood,”said Guy Fogleman, director of the BioastronauticsResearch Division, Office of Biological and PhysicalResearch (OBPR), at NASA Headquarters in Wash-ington.

Space radiation produced by the sun and othergalactic sources is more dangerous and hundreds oftimes more intense than radiation sources, such asmedical X-rays or normal cosmic radiation, usuallyexperienced on Earth. When the intensely ionizingparticles found in space strike human tissue, it canresult in cell damage and may eventually lead tocancer.

Approximately 80 investigators will conductresearch annually at the new facility. “The NSRL willenable us to triple the ability of researchers to per-form radiobiology experiments and the resultingscience knowledge,” said Frank Cucinotta, theprogram scientist for NASA’s Space Radiation HealthProject at Johnson Space Center, Houston. “Scientistsat universities and medical centers across the nationwill use the facility to investigate how space radia-tion damages cells and tissues such as the eyes, brainand internal organs,” he said.

For each experiment, an accelerator producesbeams of protons or heavy ions. These ions aretypical of those accelerated in cosmic sources and bythe sun. The beams of ions move through a 328-foottransport tunnel to the 400-square-foot, shieldedtarget hall. There, they hit the target, which may be abiological sample or shielding material.

“Physicists will measure how specific particlesinteract with shielding material, “ said James Adams,the program scientist for the Space Radiation Shield-ing Program at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Centerin Huntsville, Ala. “We can use this knowledge to

improve our ability to predict the effectiveness ofvarious materials and to develop and test newmaterials.”

At NSRL, the radiation health team will performextensive tests with biological samples placed in thepath of the radiation. They will use the informationto understand mechanisms of radiation damage tocells, predict risks, and develop countermeasures thatmitigate radiation effects. “Advances in radiationdetection, shielding and other radiation-mitigationtechniques may be applied to workers in space andon Earth and may lead to improved use of radiationto treat disease on Earth and prevent radiation-induced illnesses,” Fogleman said.

Since the 1970s, NASA has been using particleaccelerators to understand and mitigate the risks ofspace radiation. The NSRL will take advantage ofthe high-energy particle accelerators at BrookhavenNational Laboratory, a DOE facility established in1947. Construction of the new facility began in 1998,and was funded in part by NASA’s Office of Biologi-cal and Physical Research.

NASA Explorer Schools RecruitmentProgram Takes Flight

In September, NASA launched the applicationseason for its NASA Explorer Schools (NES) Pro-gram. Schools from across the country are eligible toapply online for an opportunity to partner withNASA in a program designed to bring engagingmathematics, science and technology learning toeducators, students, and families.

The NES Program, which began in June and issponsored by NASA in collaboration with theNational Science Teachers Association (NSTA), is oneof four major new education initiatives at the agency.NES establishes a three-year partnership betweenNASA and 50 NASA Explorer Schools teams, consist-ing of teachers and education administrators fromdiverse communities nationwide.

During the commitment period, NASA willinvite teams “back to school” at NASA Centers eachsummer in an effort to spark innovative science andmathematics instruction aimed at students in grades4 through 9. While partnered with NASA, NESteams will acquire throughout the school year newteaching resources and technology tools usingNASA’s unique content, experts, and other re-

This NASA Research Announcement (NRA) solicits proposals for ground-based research in spaceradiation biology and space radiation shielding materials. NASA will provide beams of high-energy heavynuclei produced at the NASA Space Radiation Laboratory and the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron atBrookhaven National Laboratory for this research. These beams simulate the high-energy, high-charge (HZE)components of galactic cosmic rays that constitute the biologically most significant component of spaceradiation.

This research supports NASA’s mission and the Office of Biological and Physical Research (OBPR). Allparticipants in this NRA are strongly encouraged to promote general scientific literacy and public under-standing of life sciences, the space environment, and the OBPR programs through formal and informaleducation opportunities. Where appropriate, supported investigators will be required to produce, in collabo-ration with NASA, a plan for communicating their work to the public. Starting October 10, 2003, this NRAand other relevant information will be available electronically via the Internet at: http://research.hq.nasa.gov/code_u/nra/current/NRA-03-OBPR-07/index.html

The solicitation will be open for the period through January 9, 2004; proposals may be submitted at anytime throughout the period.

Paper copies of the Announcement are available starting October 10, 2003 to those who do not haveaccess to the Internet by calling (202) 479-9030 x277 and leaving a voice mail message.

sources—to make learning science, mathematics, andtechnology more exciting to students.

The 50 NES school teams selected in 2003 repre-sent 30 states. Eighty percent of the schools arelocated in high-poverty areas, with seventy-fivepercent representing predominantly minority com-munities. Fifty-eight percent of the competitivelyselected school teams are located in both high-poverty and high-minority districts.

“NASA is committed as never before to inspirethe next generation of explorers. We believe that byhelping to make learning science and math more fun,we can take advantage of their natural curiosities andspark prolonged learning,” remarked Dr. AdenaWilliams Loston, NASA Associate Administrator forEducation.

NES schools receive grants of up to $10,000 fortechnology tools that support science and mathemat-ics curricula in the classroom. The deadline forsubmission of applications for the NES Program isJanuary 30, 2004.

NASA’s Biological and Physical Research Enterprise Strategy

In support of NASA’s mission “to understand and pro-tect our home planet, to explore the universe and search forlife, and to inspire the next generation of explorers,” the Bio-logical and Physical Research Enterprise has developed acomprehensive strategy to guide and prioritize all researchand other activities throughout the Enterprise. The founda-tion of the strategy includes a 10-year Enterprise researchplan, input from the Enterprise research community andstaff, and advisory committee reports.

Five organizing questions are the basis for the Biologi-cal and Physical Research Enterprise Strategy:1. How can we assure the survival of humans travelingfar from Earth?2. How does life respond to gravity and space environ-ments?3. What new opportunities can research bring to expandunderstanding of the laws of nature and enrich lives onEarth?4. What technology must we create to enable the next explorers to go beyond where we have been?5. How can we educate and inspire the next generation to take the journey?

The answers to these questions determine BPR research strategy, the platforms or programs toexecute the science, applications for the research, and the metrics to measure progress.

Website Offers Elementary Students an Adventure in Space Biology

Scientists at NC State University have undertaken an endeavor that is “out of this world.”Adventures of the Agronauts is an online science curriculum for elementary aged students with anoverarching theme: how can we grow plants on the Moon? Children become “Agronauts inTraining” and complete six different standards based lessons towards the final goal of growingplants on the Moon. The website includes teacher resources and can be seen on the ASGSBEducation webpage or at http://www.ncsu.edu/project/agronauts.

In 2002, fully 45% of the outreach conducted by the NASA Specialized Center of Researchand Training (NSCORT) at NC State University was for third grade classrooms. Upon closerinspection, the reason why became clear—third graders in North Carolina study plants, soil, theEarth/Moon/Sun connection, and heat and light. Adventures of the Agronauts is NSCORT’sproactive effort to reach more elementary students and teachers in North Carolina and beyondwith the excitement of space biology.

A team of third grade teachers who provided feedback at the beginning of the developmentprocess is piloting the Agronauts curriculum in their classrooms during this academic year.

For more information contact NSCORT Assistant Director for Outreach, Courtney Thornton([email protected]), or Director, Dr. Chris Brown ([email protected]).
