The new program aims to build upon previous NASA investments in companies designing commercial passenger spaceships.

With the retirement of the U s. space shuttles last year, Russia has a monopoly on flying crews to the station,

and the radiation in the SAA is known a hazard to satellites spacecraft and high-altitude aircraft.

Emergency access afterward would be significantly less hazardous than an EVA from a space shuttle or space station since gravity would be in effect so thermal and thin-atmosphere considerations would be the only things that would act as impediments.

The results based on data spanning four decades from 11 different spacecraft including IBEX were published in the journal Science September 5 2013.

The data from the IBEX spacecraft show that neutral interstellar atoms are flowing into the solar system from a different direction than previously observed.

The latest IBEX measurements of the interstellar wind direction differed from those made by the Ulysses spacecraft in the 1990s.

That difference led the IBEX team to compare the IBEX measurements to data gathered by 11 spacecraft between 1972 and 2011.

These findings and many others are viewable via the Land Cover Atlas program from the NOAA's Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP.

The ability to mitigate the growing evidence of climate change along our coasts with rising sea levels already impacting coastlines in ways not imaged just a few years ago makes the data available through the Land Cover Atlas program critically important to coastal resilience planning said Margaret

The atlas's visuals help make NOAA environmental data available to end users enabling them to help the public better understand the importance of improving resilience.

Seeing changes over five 10 or even 15 years allows Land Cover Atlas users to focus on local hazard vulnerabilities

For instance the atlas has helped its users assess sea level rise hazards in Florida's Miami-Dade County high-risk areas for stormwater runoff in southern California and the best habitat restoration sites in two watersheds

and then away from the sun. The gas production rate is also important to the Rosetta navigation team controlling the spacecraft as this flowing gas can alter the trajectory of spacecraft.

called a CGBA (commercial generic bioprocessing apparatus). We have two on the International Space station and two units on the shuttle, each about the size of a mid-deck locker.

What does the end of the Space shuttle era mean for you guys? Honestly, our center has a long history of fling on the shuttle.

STS-135 was our 39th shuttle mission. Were part of the University of Colorado, and we train mostly masters students.

On one hand, with the shuttle program ending, it definitely impacts how we educate our students. Our students who come through the center are highly sought after by corporations

native to southern parts of the United states. Theyre on the Space station, coming back on the 135 shuttle.

Now that the shuttle is retired, its hard for the life sciences. The model is that we send our experiments to space

Without the shuttle we dont have that capability anymore. There is some hardware being developed to do some analysis in space while on the station,
