    Space Station Freedom - A resource for aerospace education (1988)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The role of the International Space Station in future U.S. aerospace education efforts is discussed from a NASA perspective. The overall design concept and scientific and technological goals of the Space Station are reviewed, and particular attention is given to education projects such as the Davis Planetarium Student Space Station, the Starship McCullough, the Space Habitat, the working Space Station model in Austin, TX, the Challenger Center for Space Life Education, Space M+A+X, and the Space Science Student Involvement Program. Also examined are learning-theory aspects of aerospace education: child vs adult learners, educational objectives, teaching methods, and instructional materials.

    IRAS F15307+3252: A hyperluminous infrared galaxy at z = 0.93 (1994)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: A new hyperluminous infrared galaxy in the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS) Faint Source Catalog is identified at a redshift of 0.93. This object has a bolometric luminosity of approximately 10(exp 13) solar luminosity, a very large ratio of infrared-to-optical luminosity, warm dust emission, a ratio of infrared-to-radio flux densities consistent with other infrared galaxies, and an optical spectrum similar to a Seyfert 2 galaxy. IRAS F15307+3552 shares these characteristics and its radio-to-optical spectral energy distribution with two other infrared galaxies, F10214+4724 and P09104+4109. Discovery of a third object with these properties defines an extreme subclass of ultraluminous galaxies powered primarily by star formation. The systematic method used to find this object begins the process of determining the space density of these most luminous examples of the infrared galaxy phenomenon.

    On the feasibility of detecting extrasolar planets by reflected starlight using the Hubble Space Telescope (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The best metrology data extant are presently used to estimate the center and wing point-spread function of the HST, in order to ascertain the implications of an observational criterion according to which a faint source's discovery can occur only when the signal recorded near its image's location is sufficiently larger than would be expected in its absence. After defining the maximum star-planet flux ratio, a figure of merit Q, defined as the contrast ratio between a 'best case' planet and the scattered starlight background, is introduced and shown in the HST's case to be unfavorable for extrasolar planet detection.

    Space education in the context of U.S. Government multiagency efforts in science and mathematics education (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-27
    Description: The status of a multiagency endeavor to involve U.S. Federal agencies in the attainment of National Education Goals for the 1990's is presented. Emphasis is placed on the educational activities of NASA, which is one of 16 Federal agencies on the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology. NASA's is a prototype education program for achieving excellence in mathematics and science in the coming generations of Americans.

    Space education in the context of U.S. government multiagency efforts in science and mathematics education (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The educational activities of NASA which is one of 16 agencies on the Federal Coordinating Council for Science, Engineering and Technology is discussed. NASA's education mission is to utilize its unique facilities and its specialized workforce to conduct and to leverage externally conducted science, mathematics, and technology education programs and activities. These efforts aimed at meeting the national education goals should help to preserve U.S. leadership in aeronautics, space science, and technology.

    NASA's educational programs (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: The educational programs of NASA's Educational Affairs Division are examined. The problem of declining numbers of science and engineering students is reviewed. The various NASA educational programs are described, including programs at the elementary and secondary school levels, teacher education programs, and undergraduate, graduate, and university faculty programs. The coordination of aerospace education activities and future plans for increasing NASA educational programs are considered.

    Scientific Literacy for the 21st Century (SL-21) (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-28
    Description: A proposal called, 'Scientific Literacy for the 21st Century (SL-21)', has been introduced, suggesting ways in which NASA may work to increase scientific literacy in the U.S. The future need for an adequate supply of scientists and engineers for the space program is discussed. The principles of the SL-21 proposal are outlined. The program would emphasize education in the fields of space technologies and earth and planetary sciences. The educational elements of the proposal for teachers, students, universities, and the general adult population are described.
