CHERYL SUTTERFIELD-JONESFRONTIERS OF FLIGHT MUSEUM PRESIDENT & CEO

The Frontiers of Flight Museum and the National Space Society of North Texas have come a long way since that first Moon Day on July 20, 2009. Not only has Moon Day become the largest annual space flight exposition in the state of Texas, it is an important part of the Frontiers of Flight Museum’s overall effort to “…motivate, educate, and inspire…” young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). In the first half of 2019, over 28,000 students have been exposed to aviation and STEM programming provided by the Museum.

We are thrilled to be celebrating the Museum’s 30th anniversary in this 50th anniversary year of the first Moon landing! We have done amazing things in the last 30 years and there is no telling what the Museum will be doing 30 years from now, but I am sure it will be spectacular.

FROM AUNT EFFIE’S FARM...TO THE MOON!Although the developments of the Wright brothers led to the marvels of air transportation, it was the work of a relatively unknown American engineer who pioneered the liquid-fuel rocket technology that took us to the Moon.

A mere 43 years passed between the first successful frail-looking liquid-fuel rocket (left) invented by Dr. Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945) and the massive launch vehicle that took Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin to the Moon in July 1969 (right). The huge Saturn V rocket that launched Apollo 11 owed its technological lineage to the principles of rocketry developed by Dr. Goddard, who launched his first rocket on March 16, 1926, at his Aunt Effie’s farm in Auburn, Massachusetts.

COVER: Apollo 11 Lunar Module ascent stage, with Commander Neil Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin aboard, is shown making its docking approach to the Command and Service Modules (CSM) after lifting off from the Moon’s surface. Earth is seen in the background in this image taken by Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, who stayed with the CSM in lunar orbit.

Col. John Blaha, USAF (Ret.) spent four months aboard the Russian Mir space station to cap a remarkable aerospace career that includes 161 days in space on five separate missions. An Air Force combat veteran and test pilot with over 7,000 hours of flying time, he was selected as an astronaut in 1980. He first flew as pilot on STS-29 (March 1989) and STS-33 (November 1989). He was Spacecraft Commander for STS-43 (August 1991) and STS-58 (October-November 1993)—a mission described by NASA leadership as the most successful Spacelab flight ever flown.

After an intensive training program at the Cosmonaut Training Center at Star City, Russia, Blaha launched on STS-79 on September 16, 1996 to transfer to the Mir space station three days later. For the following four months, he served as an engineer with the Mir 22 Cosmonaut crew. Blaha returned to Earth aboard STS-81 in January 1997.

PANEL DISCUSSION:STEM EDUCATION AND THE FUTURE OF WORK

Hamilton Family Auditorium, 11:00 am

In this thought-provoking panel discussion, top industry leaders will share how students, parents, and community organizations can better prepare future leaders for the workforce in a global economy—as the Museum celebrates 30 years of educating, motivating and inspiring all ages in North Texas through STEM Education. There will be some fun STEM-inspired giveaways, and you don’t want to miss this event. Our distinguished panelists are:

Aaron Maestas, Chief Engineer Advanced Concepts and Technology, Raytheon Barbara Lewis, NASA Space Station Communications/STEM Outreach Lead Melerick Mitchell, CEO, Drive Influence Buvana Sivakumar, Director, Data Analysis, Capital One Financial Services Moderator: Christiana Yerba, CEO, Vouch

The Museum’s Education Department has become an exemplary force in STEM Education in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and throughout the state of Texas, as illustrated by being chosen in 2018 for the prestigious Million Women Mentors® – Education Stand Up for STEM Award.

SMITHSONIAN CHANNEL DOCUMENTARYTHE DAY WE WALKED ON THE MOONHamilton Family Auditorium, 2:15 pm

On July 16, 1969, hundreds of thousands of spectators and an army of reporters gathered at Cape Kennedy to witness one of the great spectacles of the century: the launch of Apollo 11. Over the next few days, the world watched with wonder and rapture as humankind prepared for its "one giant leap" onto the moon—and into history.

Witness this incredible day, presented through stunning, remastered footage and interviews that take you behind the scenes and inside the spacecraft, Mission Control, and the homes of the astronauts’ families.
