Space Suits

This chapter discusses the space suits used aboard the Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz Test Program flights and outlines their differences from the lunar mission suits. It includes details of advanced suits ILC worked on at the time in support of the future Space Shuttle missions NASA had on their drawing boards.

The Future

AbstractESA and NASA are studying projects having a tremendous return on variable star research. Other national space agencies are also studying or developing projects of smaller costs but with impressive returns. The projects range from global Galactic surveys like the ESA mission GAIA which will give photometric time series for about 1 billion stars, to detailed pulsation-mode studies like the CNES mission COROT which could reach a photometric precision lower than 1 ppm. The presentation will emphasize the future astrometric, asteroseismological and planet detection missions.

None of us thought, when this colloquium was scheduled, that the timing would enable it to become a celebration as well. The launch, after years of postponements, of the Hubble Space Telescope, has cast a galactic glow over the proceedings here this week. But at the same time, the frustrating delays caused by the collapse in 1986 and very slow regeneration of the U.S. space launch capabilities since then make this discussion of near-earth access very pointed.As we know, the sheer momentum of the U.S. Space Shuttle Program has dominated our perceptions of space launch for a decade and a half. It reached its peak in the early 1980s when our national policy placed nearly total reliance on the Shuttle as our means of access to space. It was a policy doomed to fail, for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons.

Investigations at the University of New Brunswick into the feasibility of using Skylab/EREP S190-A and S190-B imagery in photo control extension for small-scale mapping are reviewed. Single-image and multiple-image processing are discussed and it is shown that simple space resection procedures give results compatible with more sophisticated aerial triangulation procedures, i.e., Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of approximately 60 m to 70 m in X and Y for S190-A photography and 20 m in X and Y for S190-B photography. The results of this study, and those from previous investigations, are used as a basis for recommendations pertinent to future space photography missions and, in particular, the expected performance of the Large Format Camera (LFC), proposed for use in the space shuttle missions of the early 1980s, is reviewed.
