INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION STATUS REPORT #64
Expedition One Crew
Sunday, December 31, 2000 1 p.m. CST
Having spent a quiet holiday weekend in orbit aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) Alpha, the Expedition One crew members maintained a
Naval New Year s tradition as they prepared to begin their tenth week in
space.
With crewmates Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev at his side, Alpha
Commander Bill Shepherd, a U.S. Navy Captain, provided a poem he wrote on
board, capturing his thoughts and reflections, as he and his shipmates
ushered in 2001.
It is Naval tradition for the person on duty at the helm of a ship to
provide an entry into the ship s log at the turn of the New Year.
Shepherd wrote the following:
In longstanding naval tradition, the first entry in a ship s log for the
New Year is always recorded in prose. We would like to share with all,
the entry being made in the log tonight as Alpha salutes the New Year
SHIP S LOG 0000 01 JAN 2001
We sail onboard space station Alpha
Orbiting high above Earth, still in night
Traveling our destined journey
beyond realm of sea voyage or flight
A first New Year is upon us
Eight strikes on the bell now as one
The globe spins below on its motion
Counting the last thousand years done.
15 midnights to this night in orbit
A clockwork not of earthly pace
Our day with different meaning now
In this, a new age and place
We move with a speed and time
Past that which human hands can tell
Computers programmed like boxes
Where only thoughts shadows dwell
Central post our ship s bridge aboard
Screens dancing shapes in pale glow
We guide her course by electronic pulse
In figures no compass could show
Our panels set as sails to the Sun
With wake not ever seen but there
Only gyros feel the silent tugs
Wisps, swirls of such ocean rare
On this ship s deck sits no helm now
Rudder, sheet, and rig long since gone
But here still-- a pull to go places
Beyond lines where sky meets the dawn
Though star trackers mark Altair and Vega
Same as mariners eyed long ago
We are still as wayfinders of knowledge
Seeking new things that mankind shall know.
We commend to crews that will follow
Merit of the good ship we sail
Let Sun shine strong on Alpha s wings
A symbol, and bright star we long hail.
The crew members spent a relaxing New Year s Eve holding private
conferences with their families as they gear up for a busy week of
biomedical experiments and preparations for the next Shuttle assembly
flight to the ISS which is scheduled for launch the third week in
January.
The International Space Station Alpha continues to orbit the Earth in
excellent shape at an altitude of 230 statute miles as it enters its
fourth calendar year of existence.
The Johnson Space Center newsroom is closed and will reopen on Tuesday,
January 2, 2001 at 8 a.m. Central time.
The next Expedition One status report will be issued on Wednesday, Jan.
3, or sooner, if developments warrant.
