The Future of Space: Participatory Exploration (Nicholas Skytland)
Masters Forum 17 marked a very special occasion in NASA’s history: the 50th anniversary since the Agency’s founding in October 1958. This presented a unique opportunity to reflect upon the amazing achievements accomplished over the past five decades, their significance, and lessons learned from those accomplishments.
Nicholas Skytland works in the Strategic Partnerships Office at NASA Johnson Space Center, where he supports the development of partnerships with other agencies, foreign space programs, academic, and business entities in relation to space operations. He is also the project manager of the EVA Physiology, Systems, and Performance Project (EPSP) within the Space Life Sciences Directorate and the Human Research Program. He is responsible for managing an operationally driven research project with the goal of identifying critical design parameters for NASA’s next-generation space suits. Nick’s passions are government innovation and participatory exploration.

Apollo 1-Challenger-ColumbiaEvery year as we get back in the saddle, our Remembrance Day signals us to think back to the tragic events of Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia as well as the context surrounding them. We’re accountable for learning from not just what went wrong, but how we recovered. As an example, read these rules recorded by Wayne Hale, former NASA Flight Director and Space Shuttle Program Manager.

Shuttle Software AnomalyCase Study–A few minutes after the Shuttle Endeavour reached orbit for STS-126 on Nov. 14, 2008, mission control noticed that the shuttle did not automatically transfer two communications processes from launch to orbit configuration. Primary communications continued to use S-band frequencies after they should have transferred to the more powerful Ku-band. The link between the shuttle and its payload — the Payload Signal Processor (PSP)–remained configured for a radio link rather than switching.
