Astronaut Jim Voss has enjoyed many memorable moments in his career,including three space flights and one space walk.But he recalls with special fondness a decidedly earthbound(为地球引力所束缚的) experience in the summer of 1980 when he participated in the NASA ASEE Summer Faculty Fellowship Program.Voss,then a science teacher at West Point,was assigned to the Marshall Space Flight Center's propulsion lab in Alabama to analyze why a hydraulic fuel pump seal on the space shuttle was working so well when previous seals had failed.It was a seemingly tiny problem among the vast complexities of running the space program.Yet it was important to NASA because any crack in the seal could have led to destructive results for the astronauts who relied on them.
“I worked a bit with NASA engineers,” says Voss,“but I did it mostly by analysis.I used a handheld calculator,not a computer,to do a thermodynamic(热力学的) analysis.” At the end of the summer,he,like the other NASA ASEE fellows working at Marshall,summarized his findings in a formal presentation and detailed paper.It was a valuable moment for Voss because the ASEE program gave him added understanding of NASA,deepened his desire to fly in space,and intensified his application for astronaut status.
It was not an easy process.Voss was actually passed over when he first applied for the astronaut program in 1978.Over the next nine years he reapplied repeatedly,and was finally accepted in 1987.Since then he has participated in three space missions.The 50-year-old Army officer,who lives in Houston,is now in training for a four-month mission as a crew member on the International Space Station starting in July 2000.
Voss says the ASEE program is wonderful for all involved.“It brings in people from the academic world and gives NASA a special property for a particular period of time.It brings some fresh eyes and fresh ideas to NASA,and establishes a link with our colleges and universities,” Voss explains.“There's an exchange of information and an exchange of perspectives that is very important.”
For the academic side,Voss says,the ASEE program also “brings institutions of higher learning more insight into new technology.We give them an opportunity to work on real world problems and take it back to the classroom.”

译文:宇航员吉姆沃斯有着许多难忘的瞬间在他的职业生涯,其中包括3名航天飞行和一个太空行走.但他特别喜欢回忆决定性太阳系(为地球引力所束缚的)的经验,1980年夏天,他参加了美国航天局ASEE夏季学院奖学金计划.沃斯,然后一位理科教师在西点军校,被分配到的马歇尔航天飞行中心的推进实验室在阿拉巴马州,分析为什么液压油泵密封在航天飞机上的工作如此出色时,没有以前的印章.这是一个看似微小的问题之间的巨大复杂性,运行的航天计划.然而,重要的是美国航天局,因为任何裂纹的印章可能导致破坏性的结果,宇航员谁依赖于他们.
“我有点与美国航天局的工程师说,”象“ ,但我做到了主要由分析.我用一个手持计算器,没有一台电脑,做热力学(热力学的)的分析.“结束时的夏天,他像其他美国宇航局ASEE研究员马歇尔工作,总结他的调查结果在正式专题介绍和详细的文件.这是一个宝贵的时刻沃斯因为ASEE计划让他了解美国航天局说,加深他希望台飞行在太空中,并加强了申请宇航员地位.
这是不是一个容易的过程.沃斯实际上越过当他第一次用于宇航员计划于1978年.在今后9年来,他重新反复,并终于在1987年接受.自那以后,他参加了三次太空飞行任务.50岁的陆军军官,谁住在休斯顿,现已培训了4个月任务的机组成员在国际空间站上开始于2000年7月.
沃斯说,ASEE计划是美好的所有有关各方.“它使人们从学术的世界,使美国航天局的一个特殊财产为特定的时间内.它带来了一些新鲜的眼睛和新鲜的想法,美国航天局,并建立了联系与我们的高校,“沃斯说.“这里存在一个交流信息和交换观点,是非常重要的.”
学术方面,沃斯说,ASEE计划还“带来了高等教育机构更深入地了解新技术.我们给他们一个机会,工作的现实世界的问题,是否可以回到课堂.“
