JSC2004-E-54142 (8 December 2004) --- Materials engineers, spacewalk experts and test conductors follow the progress of a human thermal vacuum test at Johnson Space Center. This particular test, conducted Dec. 8, 2004, involved the application of a caulk-like tile repair material known as STA-54 in a chamber that simulates the vacuum and temperatures of space. The silicon-based ablative (burns away during reentry) material comes in two parts that must be mixed in a dispenser gun called the Cure In Place Ablator Applicator (CIPAA). Tanner dispensed the material onto a variety of test plates and tiles with simulated damage. The cured test samples will be analyzed, and some will be subjected to simulated atmospheric reentry conditions in another test chamber at JSC.

JSC2004-E-53482 (10 December 2004)--- Astronaut James Reilly works in an extravehicular mobility unit spacesuit inside a thermal vacuum chamber at the Johnson Space Center, rehearsing the testing of materials, tools and techniques for repairing Space Shuttle thermal protection systems. This particular test, conducted Dec. 10, 2004, involved the application of a caulk-like crack repair material to samples of reinforced carbon-carbon, the same material that makes up the Space Shuttle wing leading edge. The cured test samples will be analyzed, and some will be subjected to simulated atmospheric reentry conditions in another test chamber at JSC.

JSC2004-E-25240 (14 June 2004) JSC Associate Director John W. Young addresses guests and media during a swearing-in of NASA's latest class of astronaut candidates. The ceremony took place on June 14 in the Mission Operations Control Room in the Mission Control Center. This room served as the ground based control center for the Apollo lunar landings. Announced on May 6 at the Space Day ceremony in Washington, D.C., the 11-member class will be the first astronauts focused from the start on realizing the new Vision for Space Exploration to extend human presence across our solar system, including a planned return to the Moon.
