STS-122 will not be Atlantis’ penultimate flight

by | Jan 16, 2008 | Seradata News | 0 comments

NASASpaceflight.com is reporting that NASA has already decided to keep its orbiter Atlantis going until 2010 and the same website has some detail on changes to Atlantis’ external tank to solve the engine cut off sensor problems

NASA has now released its Altair Lunar Lander development study solicitation – more on that from me later this week, and this announcement by the space agency adds some contract value figures to the study

Talking of the Constellation programme NASAWatch is not too happy about the amount of time NASA is taking in responding to his questions, which appear to be designed to confirm things the website already knows about Ares I crew launch vehicle and its “issues” for want of a better word

Congressional efforts to get NASA more money to spend on Constellation are underway according to Space Politics

Meanwhile Shana Dale talks NASA budget work, care of spaceref.com

Hobbyspace.com reports more on Barak Obama’s space policy and has links to a extremely inefficient mass idea for launchers

And finally, some good news, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has been testing its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter

I’m looking forward to LRO because I understand its camera will be so good the Apollo descent stages will be visible
