Space Shuttle ‘End of Program lapel Pin’ 1981 – 2011 $4.5 Space Shuttle ‘End of Program lapel Pin’ 1981 – 2011 This Enamel Lapel Pin commemorates the 30 year Space Shuttle Program.This design was the winning submission in a contest. The contest, which closed to submissions last December, was conceived by space shuttle program manager John Shannon and his technical assistant Debbie Byerly as an “uplifting” activity for workers as the program entered its final year. This winning design is by Blake Dumesnil, who chose a diamond-shape for his patch to suggest how the shuttle has been “an innovative, iconic gem in the history of American spaceflight,” its facets fanning out to “evoke the vastness of space and our aim to explore it, as the shuttle has done successfully for decades.”The central element of his design, the space shuttle itself, is bounded by panels depicting the American flag and two sets of stars: 14 in memory of the astronauts lost aboard Challenger and Columbia, and five symbolizing the shuttle fleet including Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.The patch’s jewel-shape is cradled by the outline of a blue circle, symbolizing the orbiter’s realm in low Earth orbit but also alluding “to the smoothness of the shuttle orbiting the earth,” according to the caption Dumesnil provided for the contest.

Constellation: Moon, Mars, and Beyond $9.95 Project Constellation is NASA’s initiative to develop a replacement for the aging Space Shuttle. It’s main goal is to provide spacecraft for returning to the Moon by the year 2020. This Pocket Space Guide, #9 in the series, gives the background information on how the program was formed and what it is destined to accomplish.Details are given for all of the elements of the Project Constellation, from the Lunar Precursor Robotic Program to the Orion spacecraft, Ares launch vehicles, and the Lunar Surface Access Module. Project Constellation is realizing President Bush’s “Vision” for space and this book chronicles the progress and outlines the plans for tomorrow.Author Bio:Tim McElyea is a native of Huntsville Alabama with a record of achievement in fine art prints, drawings, sculpture and computer animations. In 1995 he founded Media Fusion, Inc., a studio providing state-of-the-art communications media, particularly full-color graphics and computer animations. Tim and Media Fusion have a rich relationship with NASA, providing high profile imagery and media which NASA uses to communicate the future of space transportation. Features and Reviews: Tim McElyea has done a great job at revealing the opening shots of Project Constellation and the Orion program. This book is a must for people that are just coming aboard the project and for those that want to know where the governments money is going on the Space Shuttle’s replacement. It highly utilizes computer illustrations to show the next step in America’s long road to the Moon and Mars. Let there be no mistake here- this is THE first book on the subject, and it will be changed and modified over the next few years as this program shapes up. Writer McElyea even goes over the possible changes to the program like the use of Ares IV booster instead. His illustrations show the breakdowns of the launchers and spacecraft. He has done a wonderful job at showing how the Orion Spacecraft, lunar lander, Ares I and V rockets will work. Not too technical, not too simplistic. I heartily recommend this book for all ages. It will be the book in the back pocket for those who are in school now but will someday be riding these mighty vehicles to the Moon and Mars. – J. Busby Paperback: 96 pages Publisher: Collector’s Guide Publishing Inc (February 15, 2007) Language: English Book Dimensions: 6.7 x 4.1 x 0.4 inches |

Expedition 9 Mission Patch $4.95 This patch features the Expedition 9 crew insignia design. The Soyuz rocket and letter “X” combine into the Roman numeral IX. The “X” evokesexploration, which is at the core of the indivisible partnership of the two space pioneering nations. Research aboard ISS will lead to human exploration of the Moon and Mars. This pursuit is strengthened by the common memory of the astronauts and cosmonauts who gave their lives in this valiant endeavor. Their stars form the leading edge of the wings of the eagle spirit that embodies Human Space Flight. The Astronaut symbol is flanked by the Expedition 9 crew names leaning together, with a “9″ stylized as the plume of their rocket. The baton of great discovery is passed to the crew of the spaceship advancing to their orbital outpost. Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka Flight Engineer and NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke European Space Agency Astronaut André Kuipers |

The Keck Telescope Model Kit $18.95 The Keck Telescope To get an idea of the scale of this giant Earth-based telescope, notice the tiny railings surrounding the central hexagon and its jutting platforms. They’re a little taller than waist-height. The twin Keck Telescopes, on Mauna Kea in Hawaii, are indeed huge. They each have four times the light-collecting area of the 200-inch Hale Telescope on Mount Palomar, which, until Keck, was the world’s premier astronomical telescope. Builders of the massive Hale had reached the limit of their technology. A telescope of Hale’s construction having 4x its light collecting area would have had about eight times its mass – technically and financially an impossibility to construct. But the Keck Telescopes are not massive behemoths of the old school. Their use of computers, and highly advanced mechanical and systems designs have introduced a new paradigm. This Space Craft SCIENCE KIT shows exactly what that new paradigm is. As you build the structure, you see first hand how strong the lightweight structure becomes by virtue of its design. You see exactly how all 36 lightweight mirror segments are floated by computer-controlled actuators which maintain the overall mirror’s perfect shape. And you can see exactly where the sensors are that let the computer do that. You see how stable its mounting system is (Keck uses a computer-controlled azimuth-elevation mounting system, a departure from the equatorial systems of older telescopes, with their asymmetric load bearing). All these concepts become perfectly clear, right at your fingertips. But let’s go back to those waist-high railings. The scale of this model is close to the model-railroad “N” guage, so it isn’t hard to find tiny plastic human figures or vehicles which, when displayed with the Keck model, illustrate its startling size. |
