STS-109 Crew Interview: Grunsfeld

STS-109 Payload Commander John Grunsfeld is seen during a prelaunch interview answering questions about his inspiration to become an astronaut and his career path. He gives details on the mission's goal (which is to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)), his role during the mission, the five scheduled spacewalks, the Columbia Orbiter's recent upgrades, and what he sees as the challenges of the mission. Grunsfeld describes how his experience on the STS-103 mission, a previous HST servicing mission, has helped prepare him for the STS-109 mission. The interview ends with Grunsfeld explaining why the servicing of the Reaction Wheel Assembly, a task added late in his training, is so important.

STS-111 Crew Interviews: Franklin Chang-Diaz, Mission Specialist 2

STS-111 Mission Specialist 2 Franklin Chang-Diaz is seen during this interview, where he gives a quick overview of the mission before answering questions about his inspiration to become an astronaut and his career path. Chang-Diaz outlines his role in the mission in general, and specifically during the extravehicular activities (EVAs). He describes in great detail his duties in the three EVAs which involved preparing the Mobile Remote Servicer Base System (MBS) for installation onto the Space Station's Mobile Transporter, attaching the MBS onto the Space Station and replacing a wrist roll joint on the station's robot arm. Chang-Diaz also discusses the science experiments which are being brought on board the Space Station by the STS-111 mission. He also offers thoughts on how the International Space Station (ISS) fits into NASA's vision and how his previous space mission experience will benefit the STS-111 flight.

Structure of Flame Balls at Low Lewis-Number (SOFBALL): New Results from STS-107

Experiments on steady, spherically-symmetric premixed-gas flames ("flame balls") performed on STS-107 are described. These experiments were motivated by results obtained on earlier Space Shuttle missions. The motivation and objectives for the STS-107 experiments are described, along with the results obtained. Among the highlights of STS-107 were the weakest flames ever burned either on earth or in space (about 0.5 Watt of heat release), the leanest flames ever burned either on earth or in space, and the longest-lived flame ever burned in space. While many of the questions left unresolved from the earlier space flights were answered, some new and as yet unexplained phenomena were found, for example flame balls migrating in spiral patterns. Nonetheless, flame ball experiments have provided an insight into the interactions of the two most important phenomena in combusting materials, namely chemical reaction and transport processes, in the unequivocally simplest possible configuration.
