An onboard concentration of 1.7g/m3 has been estimated. The JSC toxicology group is investigating, but believes this concentration to be within acceptable NASA […]

Every now and then Dan Goldin does something very right. Appointing Joe Rothenberg to be Associate Administrator of the Office of Space Flight (OSF) is one of those things. Rothenberg’s appointment OSF AA marks the beginning of a break with the Shuttle Era and the true beginning of the Space Station era. ISS design is all but finished. What little design remains is in the category of optimization, utilization, and […]
