A4H Bruce Davis at the Presidential Space Summit

A4H's very own Bruce Davis was among the select few invited to attend the Presidential Space Summit held at the NASA Kennedy Space Center on April 15, 2010. At the event, President Obama outlined his new strategy for human spaceflight, which includes the expanded support for commercial space transportation systems - the same systems that will also enable the nascent suborbital and eventually orbital science research community.

 

Bruce, who is pictured here with Norm Augustine, shared his impressions and photos from the event on his website spacedavis.com.
Location: Orlando, FL, USA

    I was able to go the the President's speech at KSC and it was AMAZING! We saw Mike Foale and he told us first hand about the fire on Mir. He is so cool!

    This is all so exciting! I<3 SPACE EXPLORATION!

    Hey Bruce,
    This is Bill Tandy. You came out to Ball Aerospace a while back and you know me from Karina. I was just checking out the private space stuff and there's your picture on the front page. Karina had already sent me your blog on the Obama visit. Congrats!

A4H Flight Member Makes it to Top 72 Candidates in Canadian Astronaut Selection Process

Image
We would like to congratulate Dr. Aaron Persad, a Flight Member of A4H, for becoming one of top 72 candidates in the Canadian Space Agency’s astronaut selection campaign.   Well-done Aaron!   He is a tremendous asset to A4H.  Aaron set up a collaboration between our organization and students in the University of Toronto’s Department of Mechanical Engineering to develop a microgravity test bed.  It is designed to run experiments in parabolic flight, especially those involving fluids.    Another project he was instrumental in conceiving is that of a physical model of a bone cell to be tested in weightlessness.   Currently, Aaron is completing his post-doctoral fellowship in the Sinton Lab at the University of Toronto. All of us at A4H wish him good luck during the next phase of the selection process.   We hope he will achieve his goal of becoming one of Canada's next astronauts.

Astronauts4Hire (A4H) is now the Association of Spaceflight Professionals (ASP)

Image
Hello, aspiring astronauts and space enthusiasts! We have some very exciting news. After around a year of brainstorming, polling, and deliberation, Astronauts4Hire Inc., known in short as A4H, has officially been re-branded as the Association of Spaceflight Professionals, Inc., to be further abbreviated as ASP. This move was made after multiple sessions of careful consideration from our members, executive team, board, and various advisers, with the goal of better serving our members and helping them meet their goals in the pursuit of spaceflight opportunities. Astronauts4Hire was started with the goal of creating the world's first commercial astronauts corps; a group of people that commercial space companies could call up whenever they were in need of trained specialists to operate their spacecrafts and payloads and execute science experiments in space. While that is still a big part of our mission, its now integrated into a larger, multi-faceted mission involving more immediate an
