Posted by helliott at Tuesday, September 27, 2011


Tuesday, September 27th, 7-9 pm
Location: Rackham 4th Floor Amphitheater
Reception in following the presentation

Jim Bagian is a renowned engineer, medical doctor, and astronaut. A leading researcher on the first space shuttle mission dedicated to space life sciences research, he now works for the University of Michigan's Center for Health Engineering and Department of Anesthesiology. His backgrounds in engineering, medicine and space allow him to have a unique perspective of human spaceflight, and of the issues we need to address before mankind ventures further towards the stars.

The Space Shuttle Program flew 135 orbital flights while sustaining only 2 vehicle and crew losses. In order to achieve this record of reliability NASA had numerous organizational/engineering systems in place which were continually re-examined and modified as new information became available. Lessons learned from the Challenger and Columbia mishaps will be discussed and their implications for future manned spaceflight operations.
