Extractions: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Spacefarers competed with lightning and downpours for attention Saturday at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex as four shuttle veterans were inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame. With "Right Stuff" and "Aliens" actor Lance Henriksen presiding, Daniel Brandenstein, Robert "Hoot" Gibson, Story Musgrave and Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, were honored by their fellow hall-of-famers. Musgrave thanked those who supported him, including workers at Kennedy Space Center. "You took care of me, for which I will be forever thankful," said Musgrave, a Marine Corps veteran with a half-dozen degrees, including one in medicine. Ride, who participated in the Challenger accident investigation and now the Columbia probe, stood out in her class and was a logical choice for her mission, given her knowledge of the shuttle robot arm and shuttle systems, Bob Crippen said. Crippen, also a Hall of Fame astronaut, was her commander then. She "broke perhaps the world's highest glass ceiling that had existed for more than two decades when Challenger lifted off on April the 18th of 1983," he said.

Extractions: The Rescue Of Intelsat-VI 603 Manual capture of the Intelsat VI by astronauts Thuot, Hieb, and Akers 5/92 It was March 14, 1990 that the International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (INTELSAT) launched the third of five Intelsat-VI satellites atop a Titan-3 rocket. Each is cylandrical, nearly twelve feet in diameter and 17.5 feet in height. At the time of this writing, this series makes up the largest commercial spacecraft ever launched. All five satellites have a life of thirteen years and are built to maintain communications from a geosynchronous orbit With this launch, however, the second stage of the rocket failed to separate from the satellite due to faulty wiring between them. This left the satellite in an orbit too low and too unstable for it to be of any use. Controllers from the ground needed to work quickly to prevent the satellite from re-entering the atmosphere where it would have completely incinerated. They jettisoned the second stage by releasing the perigee kick motor, which would have been used to send the satellite into its proper orbit. Ground controllers then used some of the satellite's limited supply of propellant to boost it into a somewhat higher and certainly safer orbit while NASA engineers discussed possibilities for how to proceed. After much discussion, NASA elected to salvage the satellite using the space shuttle, finding it the most cost effective way to remedy the situation. perigee kick motor to the satellite and release it using timed springs once the two were safely back in the cabin of the shuttle. Ground controllers would then activate the kick motor and send Intelsat 603 from a height of 200 nautical miles to a height of 22,300 nautical miles.

Extractions: Dan Brandenstein is an American astronaut who was born on January 17, 1943 in Wisconsin. Before he became an astronaut, Brandenstein served as a Navy pilot in the Vietnam War. He has flown over 5600 hours in 24 different types of aircraft. Brandenstein became an astronaut in 1979. He has made four spaceflights spending over 576 hours in space. In 1983, Brandenstein piloted the first nighttime launch and landing of a space shuttle. In 1985, he commanded an international mission. The crew included Saudi Prince Sultan al-Saud and French Patrick Baudry. In 1990, Brandenstein commanded shuttle Columbia in a mission that set a shuttle endurance record. The crew spent 10 days in space and retrieved the Long Duration Exposure Facility. During his last mission in 1992, Brandenstein and his crew performed one of the most difficult space shuttle missions to date. Brandenstein and pilot Kevin Chilton performed some risky flying aboard the new Endeavour shuttle in an attempt to retrieve a satellite. They flew within a few feet of the rotating satellite, allowing the rest of the crew to literally grab it and pull it into the shuttle.

Saudi Aramco World : Down To Earth I was telling Dan (Commander brandenstein) as a matter of fact, that the reception we got was well beyond the dreams we had. So everyone has a lot of good http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/198601/down.to.earth.htm
Extractions: Additional photographs by A. De Wildenburg and Kenneth Storey Since Prince Sultan ibn Salman ibn'Abd al-'Aziz Al Sa'ud, the first Arab astronaut, returned to earth, swooping out of the darkness to a smooth dawn landing at Edwards Air Force Base in June, he has been lauded and applauded as few astronauts have been since the early days of exploration. According to one reporter Prince Sultan won the instant regard of the media when he returned to Houston by heading straight for the press box immediately upon leaving the jet from California. "That was a good move," the reporter smiled. "He knew why we were there." With his background in communications - he has a degree in that subject - His Royal Highness probably did realize that he was the star of Mission 51-G. If not, however, he soon found out as, in the next three months, he toured Europe and the United States, accepted medals and awards, met President Reagan and appeared on such nationwide television shows as CBS's Morning News.
