Beginning in 1998, the shuttle was used extensively to take components of the ISS into orbit for assembly and to ferry astronaut crews and supplies to and from the station.

Rubatex Pipe Insulation July 8, 2005 (AXcess News) Washington, DC- This will be the first space shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster grounded the program nearly two and one half years ago. That shuttle disintegrated because a piece of foam insulation fell off the fuel tank at launch, smashing a hole in the spacecraft's wing that doomed it during re-entry. All seven astronauts were killed.The Discovery crew will be led by Eileen Collins, who became the first woman commander of a space shuttle in 1999. VOA's Deborah Block has this profile of her as she prepares for her newest challenge.

This test flight was a checkout of the rendezvous and navigation procedures, ton Space Shuttle to 10 meters from the docking port of Mir. The mission included operation of the Spacehab module and associated experiments, 204 satellite. The mission was accomplished in 198 hours in 129 orbits.

Rubatex 180 Fs They agreed, and in time all her dreams came true. In 1991, she became an astronaut with the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA.Eileen talks about how she prepared, "The year that I started military pilot training for the Air Force was in 1978, and that was the same year that NASA took the first women into the shuttle program, and the six women that were in the first shuttle class became role models to me. And they were mission specialists, but I knew that I wanted to be a pilot, and I knew that this program existed, and that's when I decided that one day I was going to go on and fly as an astronaut."Michel Tognini, a French astronaut who is head of the European Astronaut Center, has worked under her command. He says of Ms. Collins, "She filled all the conditions, and she was one of the first fighter pilots for the USA, and she was one of the first test pilots in the USA. She's been selected as an astronaut at NASA as a pilot. She flew twice on the right seat, so she had all the conditions to be on the left seat, and she did very well, and she is going to do it again."

Rubatex 1800 Now, more than two years after the space shuttle Columbia disaster, Ms. Collins will lead Discovery's seven astronauts back to the International Space Station. The shuttle team will deliver supplies and scientific equipment that are crucial to continue the assembly of the largest man-made structure in space.Ms. Collins is exciting about the future and says, "The space shuttle flights, and my flight is the next, are going to re-supply the space station. We're going to help build the space station and we're going to be doing science experiments, not just for our country, but other countries. We're going to be thinking about the next missions, maybe going back to the moon, or going to Mars someday, and eventually leaving the solar system and exploring other worlds. And to me this is so exciting."Five men and one woman astronaut will join her on the Discovery shuttle. She says her heroes were the test pilots and astronauts who came before her. By making it to the top as the commander of space shuttles, she is sure to inspire the next generation of astronauts.Sources: Voice of America
