Podcasts about mir space station

It all started when Helen Sharman heard a radio advertisement that said they were looking for an astronaut, no experience required. She applied, beat out 13,000 applicants, and became the first British person to travel to space! Ilham speaks with Helen about her incredible journey from a young chemist to becoming an astronaut; how she had to believe not only in herself but also her team; her love of chemistry and science; and the discipline it took to make her dreams a reality.In May 1991, Helen traveled to the Mir Space Station and spent eight days orbiting the Earth. The mission, called Project Juno, was a cooperative arrangement and would enable the UK to send one of its people into space for the first time. During her time at the Mir space station, she conducted a variety of experiments including medical and agricultural tests, protein crystal growth and how new materials perform in the environment outside the space station. Since her return from space, Helen has been heavily involved in communicating science and its benefits.Timestamps01:40 - Upbringing and love of chemistry05:24 - Becoming an astronaut08:23 - Focus on the journey10:13 - Flying into space13:58 - Looking down at earth16:46 - Reliance on her team19:55 - Not being defined by gender24:46 - Sustainability in space31:03 - When will humans get to Mars?33:56 - Advice for next generation of scientists and explorers37:40 -  What can businesses learn from space exploration40:40 - Interest in music43:17 - Love of nature  For additional details about the podcast, show notes, and access to resources mentioned during the show, please visit https://www.syensqo.com/en/podcast

Tim Tigner is an author whose background is as fascinating as his novels. Tigner began his career in Soviet Counterintelligence with the US Army Special Forces. That was back in the Cold War days when, "We learned Russian so you didn't have to". He later led prominent multinational medical companies, worked with cosmonauts on the MIR Space Station, chaired the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and helped write Russia's first law on healthcare. All of that rich experience makes it into his throughly enjoyable novels full of intrigue, a touch of sci fi and skilled asassins. We had a fun conversation about writing, spying, and how he's spending his mornings these days.

Today's episode date is one that happened in my lifetime, and it's something I do remember. I'm sure many of you remember it, too. When the U.S. Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with Russia's MIR Space Station, it was a huge step in cooperation for international space exploration. There were other major events in the news at the same time. What other stories do you remember? _____ SOURCES “Advertisement: Dairy Queen (Page 27).” The News-Democrat and Leader (Russellville, Kentucky), June 29, 1995. www.newspapers.com.

With her eight-day mission in 1991, Helen Sharman became the first British person in space. She also became the first woman aboard the Mir Space Station. In this episode, Helen reflects on her training in Star City, and ponders what value human spaceflight brings to us and the evolution of safety in space missions. Looking ahead, what will happen to the International Space Station? And what might UK involvement in future crewed missions look like?

Dr Andy Thomas was the first Australian to fly in space as a NASA Astronaut. He completed 4 missions throughout his career, one of which involved a 141 day stay aboard the Russian Mir Space Station. He spent a total of 177 days in space over the course of his career, including a 6.5 hour space walk, outside the Mir Space Station. Dr Thomas is now retired from NASA and resides, with his wife and fellow NASA Astronaut, Shannon Walker, in Texas, USA. I spoke with Dr Thomas all about what it's like to be in space, how the training prepared him, how he coped with weightlessness - we even covered space movies! This discussion was an absolute thrill and I hope you enjoy it. It's definitely one I will never forget!

Dr Helen Sharman was a chemist who became the first British astronaut to go into space, as well as the first woman on the Mir space station. She obtained a BSc degree in Chemistry from the University of Sheffield, and a PhD degree from Birkbeck. She worked with a research technology company and a chemist for Mars bars working on the flavor of chocolate. Then, she applied to “Project Juno” which recruited the first British astronaut. She was successful out of 13,000 applicants, and in May 1991 she was launched in a Soyuz spacecraft, spending 8 days orbiting Earth in the Mir Space Station. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to get involved in our organisation?

Ever wondered if astronauts are honest with their doctors? Or what it feels like to look out of the window at Earth? Helen Sharman was the first British astronaut. Project Juno, was a joint Soviet-British programme which took Helen to the Mir Space Station. Helen was working as a research technologist for Mars (the confectionery company) before hearing about the opportunity on the radio. We talked about the selection and training, what it's like being in Space and the peculiar doctor-astronaut relationship.

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Workplace Evolution podcast! I trust you are all well and coping with the changes of the lock-down…if you were to have told me four years ago that we would have Donald Trump as President in the US, the UK would be heading out of Europe and we would be in lock-down in 2020 due to a virus I would have said there was more chance of me going in to Space. Well our guest Helen Sharman, Britain’s first astronaut, actually did that! Helen joins the podcast to help navigate the challenges of remote working – a rising trend in the workplace and one that can come with the of isolation...and you can’t get more remote or isolated than space. We also explore her incredible journey and achievement back in 1991. Can you imagine the responses you would have got from your loved ones or your colleagues if you told them you were applying to join a team of Russian Cosmonauts to work on MIR Space Station!? She pursued this dream which is a huge testament to Helen’s character – she is a truly inspirational leader that the United Kingdom should be so proud of – it was a pleasure to keep this story alive, and I hope you feel the same way too.

Tony Hutchison, VK5ZAI, who, from his interest in satellite communications, became an important backup communications link in South Australia for the NASA space shuttle missions, the Mir Space Station, and the International space station when crewed by amateur radio operators.  Tony is a pioneer in this area of ham radio and has been recognized by NASA for his contributions. VK5ZAI is Eric’s QSO Today.

Astronaut Jerry Linenger is a retired Captain in the United States Navy Medical Corps who has spent 143 Days in space, most of this aboard the Russian Space Station “Mir”. During this time, he logged the equivalent distance of more than 110 round trips to the moon and back. It’s a miracle that Jerry, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by NASA, is alive today after the terrifying events that happened just 6 weeks into his stay on the famously flammable space station orbiting earth. Jerry shares an astronaut’s perspective on living your best life, the Earth, and the importance of setting goals.

This week, we look back on a movie that has the bravery to say, "F*ck it, let's blow up the Mir Space Station."   Thank you to our meteoric Patrons, including Jacob Grimm, Larissa Maestro, Dan McIntyre, Ghost in the Burbs, Joshua Nicholson, Kristin Carter, Jonathon Day, Karen Curd, Jeremy Powlen and Kathleen Campagna.   If you'd like to join them in the YICIAI bunker, please support the podcast at https://patreon.com/yourinnerchildisanidiot

Today on SpaceQ my guest is Jeff Manber, CEO of NanoRacks. Jeff has a degree in neuroscience and started his career in media, so how did he become the successful space entrepreneur that he is today? That story and others are part of this candid interview. Some of the topics we discuss: - Jeff's background and ability to work internationally where others have problems - Russia's commercial space program in the 90's and today - Making the Mir Space Station commercial - Tourists in space, Lance Bass and Astro Mom - How they manage to take 580 payloads to the International Space Station and launch nearly 200 satellites - How the company was funded, future funding and advice for entrepreneurs - A future NanoRacks space station? - Working in Canada

The Mir Space Station was a true Soviet engineering wonder, an achievement comparable with the US landing on the Moon. Yet in its later years, Mir survived some horrific & hair-raising accidents... The post The Awful and Wonderful History of the Mir Space Station | Curious Minds Podcast appeared first on Curious Minds Podcast.

Chris Hadfield has described going into space as 'strapping yourself on top of what is essentially a large bomb'. He is one of the world's most respected astronauts, and his career has included Space Shuttle flights and helping to build the Mir Space Station, as well as serving as Director of NASA's operations in Russia and as Commander of the International Space Station during his final five-month mission. If that wasn't enough he's also a bestselling author and an accomplished musician - indeed he plays in an all-astronaut band. His cover of David Bowie's Space Oddity - which he recorded while orbiting the earth on the Space Station at over 17,000 miles an hour - has had more than 33 million Internet hits. Chris talks to Michael Berkeley about his route to the stars, about overcoming fear and extreme danger - and the difficulties of playing a guitar in zero gravity. He chooses music by Strauss, Rossini and Hans Zimmer, which he associates with particular space missions. He talks about his admiration for William Herschel, the eighteenth-century astronomer and composer. And an astronaut's Private Passions would not be complete without music from Holst's Planets Suite. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

Transcript: Space exploration is expensive, and space travel using humans is even more expensive. The high cost almost forces international cooperation. This started in the 1970s with the Apollo-Soyuz program. In the 1980s the United States developed the first reusable spacecraft, the space shuttle. The space shuttle was envisaged originally as something like a truck that could go into space forty or fifty times a year at a moderate cost. The reality has not been so happy. The space shuttle costs each flight fifty or a hundred times more than originally planned and has never gone up more than ten or twelve times a year. Two of the five space shuttles have been catastrophically lost with the astronauts on board. The Mir Space Station built by the Russians degraded so badly that it had to be abandoned. The International Space Station is now underway cooperatively between Europe, the United States, Russia, and Japan, but the cost is making all of those countries reconsider their involvement.
