Hmm, wondering what the crew of STS-121 flight are wearing? :)

Prince · 4 July 2006, 11:14 PM

GMTs???

clogz · 4 July 2006, 11:17 PM

BTW, is it UTC which is used on space station? ;)

Prince · 4 July 2006, 11:41 PM

IMO its USNO, not UTC. BICBW...

SLRdude · 5 July 2006, 09:17 AM

Lots of Omega X-33 shots

You detest them but your first name is one.

clogz · 5 July 2006, 07:32 PM

Lots of x-33 shots? Where? :)

EDIT: oops post too early...

clogz · 5 July 2006, 07:46 PM

Something... anyone capable to recognize?

"(10 November 2004) --- Astronaut Steven W. Lindsey, STS-121 commander, uses the virtual reality lab at the Johnson Space Center to train for his duties aboard the space shuttle."

"(29 November 2005) --- Astronaut Mark E. Kelly, STS-121 pilot, prepares for a flight in a NASA T-38 trainer jet" - even I know this is the x-33

EDIT:
About time zone, found this:

"NASA Space Shuttle
Today the US Space Shuttle uses Greenwich Mean Time

Question: While in space, what time do you synchronize your watches with (if you use watches)? That is, what time zone do you go by so that you know when to sleep, etc.?

Answer: The answer to that, is: On the shuttle we use mission elapsed time. This is kept by the computers as soon as launch is initiated. And once we are on orbit, we have our own watches that we then set to the computer’s time so that we each are keeping track of our duties according to the mission elapsed time. When we docked to the (International Space) station, they used Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, and so whenever we did tasks that went back and forth between the station and shuttle, sometimes we had to do a little math in our head to make sure the times were proper. For example: when we got prepared to do spacewalks and so forth. So anyway, on the shuttle we use mission elapsed time, and on the station, they use Greenwich Mean Time."

I think Chip may have some similar pics. I believe the astronauts are wearing Omega X-33's.

The June issue of Watch Time has a great article on watches in space for both the US and Russia. Very cool read.

Stephanie is clearly wearing a x-33 but how about Mark here?

No, but you will always be our very own space cadet.

I'll have to ask...

I went to school with CDR Mark Kelly and started my Navy flight training in the same class as CDR Lisa Nowak. They were both on the shuttle...and are now safe on deck.

Hehe, it sure won't make you even an astroNOT

But I think the reputation still matters? If the tool has been proved good enough for special operation (like watch for space) it tells at least something about quality of this tool. But yabba yabba, before missing the whole point on this cool science, here's one oldie shot which popped out :)

http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/...11_36_5390.jpg

"(20 July 1969)--- This interior view of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) shows astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., lunar module pilot, during the lunar landing mission. This picture was taken by astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit."
