HAMMOND NATIVE HELPS COMPLETES NASA INTERNSHIP
HOUSTON—Hammond, Wis , resident Brenton Hartung spent the past spring at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston His duties included a project related to tracking, guidance, navigation and control of Constellation’s Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) during entry, descent and landing phases of flight
To get this internship opportunity, Hartung applied for NASA’S Undergraduate Student Research Program (USRP) During his 15-week internship, he was able to put the tools he learned in his aerospace engineering classes to the test Entry tracking of the CEV is important so mission controllers know the exact behavior of the vehicle at all times
Hartung worked in the Mission Operations Directorate (MOD) which is responsible for successfully planning and executing a mission in space His experience in that directorate was a dream come true
“I frequented the NASA website for a few years searching for an internship opportunity at one of the NASA centers USRP seemed like a great way to experience a real-world work environment while working on challenging, yet relevant projects,” says Hartung
Hartung is attending the University of Minnesota and will graduate May 2011 He is studying aerospace engineering and mechanics with a minor in astronomy Hartung hopes to fulfill his dream of working in Mission Control at JSC or becoming an astronaut
“We work our interns pretty hard here in Mission Operations, but Brenton certainly rose to the challenge,” said Dr Greg Holt, Hartung’s mentor “He has been a valuable team member in the navigation group, and his work will greatly benefit Mission Control for the Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle ”
Not only did this internship pose as a launch site for Hartung’s career but also it provided him unique opportunities to have fun doing things that are not your run-of-the-mill activities When he wasn’t working, he had the opportunity to land the shuttle in the training simulator, attended lectures given by famous astronauts and former flight directors such as Dr Chris Kraft and Gene Kranz, and watched Apollo 13 in the Historic Mission Control where it all took place, just to name a few
“This USRP internship has opened so many doors for me and helped better prepare me for a future in the space exploration industry,” says Hartung
The NASA Undergraduate Student Research Program is a mentored internship program that provides hands-on experiences in a technical environment NASA USRP interns work on science and engineering projects that have real application among NASA’s core research focus areas

LUBBOCK-NATIVE COMPLETES INTERNSHIP AT NASA
HOUSTON—Lubbock, Texas, native Jake Baker spent the past spring at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston where he took the knowledge he learned in college and applied it to an internship
Baker worked in the Materials & Processes division at JSC He performed failure analysis and material evaluations on components of the Space Shuttle,International Space Station,Orion,and the JSC facility
Baker wanted to find an internship that was different than what classmates had applied for and decided to do a search on the internet for student programs at NASA That’s when he discovered the Undergraduate Student Research Project (USRP)
The USRP internship allowed Baker to learn how many different pieces of lab equipment are used to perform an evaluation, including a scanning electron microscope, hardness and micro-hardness testers, spectrometer, stereoscope and a borescope He also learned about fracture mechanics, heat treatment of metals and protective chemical coatings to do his job
“This internship has helped me develop for a future as a professional engineer,” said Baker “The experience proved essential because it gave me a taste of what a job of this nature is like in the real world ”
Baker is attending Texas Tech University with plans to graduate with a mechanical engineering degree in May 2012 After he graduates, he plans to pursue a full-time job at NASA, which has been a lifelong dream
The NASA Undergraduate Student Research Program is a mentored internship program that provides hands-on experiences in a technical environment NASA USRP interns work on science and engineering projects that have real application among NASA’s core research focus areas

STS-125 Report #25 8 a m CDT Saturday, May 23, 2009 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas
Weather in Florida did not cooperate again for Atlantis’ return to Earth today There are two additional landing opportunities Sunday on both U S coasts
For the first opportunity in Florida at Kennedy Space Center, the crew would execute a deorbit burn at 7:58 a m and land at 9:11 a m The second Kennedy opportunity calls for a deorbit burn at 9:43 a m and landing at 10:49 a m
The first landing opportunity in California at Edwards Air Force Base would start with a deorbit burn at 7:43 a m , and result in landing at 9:02 a m The second Edwards opportunity would begin with a deorbit burn at 9:25 a m and culminate in a 10:40 a m landing
The Kennedy weather forecast is expected to improve slightly, but there is a chance that weather in the vicinity of the Shuttle Landing Facility will continue to be unfavorable The Edwards forecast is generally favorable
The crew is scheduled to go to sleep at 4:01 p m and awaken at 12:01 a m Sunday The next status report will be issued after crew wakeup or earlier if events warrant
