Goddard's Ritsko Wins 2011 SAVE Award
The winner of the 2011 SAVE Award is Matthew Ritsko, a Goddard financial manager. His tool lending library would track and enable sharing of expensive space-flight tools and hardware after projects no longer need them.
This set of images represents the types of tools used at NASA.

View of Space Needle in Seattle, the sleepy city, the coffee city (you find coffee shops around each corner) and home to Frasier :D
Earlier this year, the the city of Malargüe in Argentina held their annual Spring Festival with music concerts, traditional food and a parade.
The week prior to the event, there was a workshop for people interested in wall painting – ‘murales’ in Spanish. On a lovely spring morning, many people – mostly groups of school students – began working on their murales, to be drawn on certain walls where the owners had granted permission.
When the day was done, one of the walls was finished with a wonderful painting showing a satellite together with ESA’s 35 m-diameter deep-space tracking station, opened in December 2012 and sitting just a few kilometres outside the city.
The student artists who created this ‘space mural’ called themselves the ‘Trio Payun’, comprising Hugo Orlando Aravena, Lucas Martin Cerda and Iván Garcia y Ramos, all from the Escuela 3-034 Maestro Julio Andrés Mercado school, Malargüe. The team worked under the supervision of an adult, Omar Riquelme.
The painting includes the students’ initials, as well as the messages ‘Naturaleza y desarrollo’ (Nature and development) and ‘Cuidemosla’ (Let’s take care of it!).
The trio said their artistic aim was to, “Show the economy, flora, fauna and also the ‘big importance’ that this place has for the people of Malargüe.”
Congratulations and sincere thanks to the artists for their excellent work!

Discovery was the third Space Shuttle orbiter vehicle to fly in space. It entered service in 1984 and retired from spaceflight as the oldest and most accomplished orbiter, the champion of the shuttle fleet. Discovery flew on 39 Earth-orbital missions, spent a total of 365 days in space, and traveled almost 240 million kilometers (150 million miles)--more than the other orbiters. It shuttled 184 men and women into space and back, many of whom flew more than once, for a record-setting total crew count of 251.
Because Discovery flew every kind of mission the Space Shuttle was meant to fly, it embodies well the 30-year history of U.S. human spaceflight from 1981 to 2011. Named for renowned sailing ships of exploration, Discovery is preserved as intact as possible as it last flew in 2011 on the 133rd Space Shuttle mission.
NASA transferred Discovery to the Smithsonian in April 2012 after a delivery flight over the nation's capital.

After a second dark age where I had to pack the collection into storage, while we got our lives back in order, the 'rona comes along and gives me unlimited stuck at home time. Last year was a lot of sorting.
SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
On the wreck of a merchant spaceship, lies in wait a dastardly pirate... Ready to steal off any scavengers who want his prize!
For the Eurobricks Space Pirate Contest, it was built in conjunction with Phred's classic pirate set on the same topic: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108865
Generally pretty satisfied with it, it's very different to other stuff I've made and it was fun adding the ATV, rock, and figures to make it more like a set. There's a light-up brick in the engine block, which is a V8 - who says space ships have nothing to learn from muscle cars?

The artwork in the Out of Order Exhibit was created in a warehouse for a one day, one time exhibit in Santa Rosa, CA. The exhibit was free and the crowds were part of the experience. They came and went, stopping to admire, petting a dog, sitting and talking. It was a community event.
I liked this upper room for the lighting challenge it posed, a single harsh light in one corner and a window to the larger space.

A busy time for ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands, seen in this vintage photo from March 1977.
The first Italian telecommunications satellite, SIRIO-1 (Satellite Italiano per la Ricerca Industriale Orientata), is seen about to be placed in the Test Centre’s Heat Balance Facility 2 – the cylindrical thermal vacuum chamber laying open behind it.
The 400-kg satellite went on to be launched into geostationary orbit by a US Delta 2312 launcher in August that year. SIRIO-1 tested novel frequency bands from orbit for commercial use, helping pave the way for Europe’s telecom satellite industry.
Historical space photographs and publications from 1977 have just been added to ESA’s Space Heritage Image Project, SHIP. Collections from extra years are being added every few months, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of European cooperation in space.
In 1964 the first European space organisations were founded: ELDO (the European Launcher Development Organisation) and ESRO (the European Space Research Organisation). These forerunners of ESA were merged after just over a decade, in 1975, to form today’s European Space Agency.

Eutelsat has ordered a new-generation High Throughput Satellite offering unprecedented operational flexibility. To be launched in 2020, the all-electric satellite will be the first to use Thales Alenia Space's new Spacebus Neo platform.
This high-capacity broadband satellite will deliver significant resources for broadband services across Europe and Africa and set a new benchmark for flexibility in High Throughput Satellites.
Providing 75 Gbps of capacity across a network of 65 spotbeams, which together provide quasi-complete coverage of Sub-Saharan Africa, the satellite will address direct-to-user consumer and enterprise broadband services using dishes from approximately 75 cm. It will also be used for community networks connected to Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile phone backhauling and rural connectivity.

The water wall at the old skyway building, colorfully lit up at night. The colors are constantly changing, so just wait for the colors you like best and snap away. I love Tomorrowland at night, it has wonderful theming.
The NASA exhibit featured models of the Space Shuttle, Saturn IB and Saturn V rockets, Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules, the Apollo Lunar Module and "modern" space suits hanging from the A frame structure.
