Genadendal - Oldest Mission Station in South Africa Genadendal (1738), the oldest mission station on the continent of Africa, was one of the most progressive ‘communities at the Cape during the 19th century. What actually happened was that the mission station became a place of refuge for many labourers because they often were treated badly on the farms. To give the people an enriching and uninterrupted Christian education, it was important to maintain them permanently on the mission station. www.museums.org.za /genadendal

Mission Module - International Space Station Assembly Zvezda This fourth mission dedicated to the ISS Program (ISS 2A.2a) was designed to prepare the station for the next station module, the Russian-built Zvezda service module, scheduled for launch in mid July from Baikonur. During the mission’s only spacewalk, the initial pieces of a Russian cargo crane Strela ("Arrow") and a U.S. crane were attached to the outside of the station during a seven hour, 55 minute spacewalk. The next mission to the ISS, STS-106/2A.2b, is scheduled for September and will see astronauts and cosmonauts continue to prepare the station for the arrival of its first houseguests — the Expedition One crew of William Shepherd, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev. www.boeing.com /defense-space/space/spacestation/missions/zvezda

Kerikeri mission station Fergus and Sue have challenged the traditional interpretation of historic events at the Mission Station, which they say was the spearhead of New Zealand colonisation. Filming and photography is permitted in the Kerikeri Mission Station buildings (Kerkeri Mission House and Stone Store) and the grounds. The Kerikeri Mission House (also knows as Kemp House) is New Zealand's oldest standing European building (built in 1821-22). www.newzealand.com /travel/media/story-angles/arts-cult_kerikerimissionstation_storyangle.cfm

STS-92 Detail Page for Overview: DISCOVERY DELIVERS FRAMEWORK FOR FUTURE SPACE STATION GROWTH Space Shuttle Discovery is poised deliver the next in a series of major hardware components to the International Space Station (ISS) during the STS-92 mission as the new international facility receives its first framework structure to house communications and motion control equipment. Prior to departing the vicinity of the Station however, Pilot Pam Melroy will have the opportunity to fly Discovery around the Space Station as her crew mates use a variety of cameras to document the Station with its newly-installed framework, the Z1 truss. Commander Brian Duffy and Pilot Pam Melroy will perform the first in a series of small jet firings or burns to refine Discovery's approach to the International Space Station and check out some of the cameras and other tools that will be used for their rendezvous with the Station. www.shuttlepresskit.com /STS-92/OVR151.htm

`Transit Village' Proposed For Mission BART Station The BART station, used by 9,000 people daily, is a magnet for commuters and less-savory types who engage in petty crime and drug dealing. ``Mission Street is not what it was when it was known as the Miracle Mile,'' said Medina. Although Medina doesn't blame BART solely for the neighborhood's decline, he said, ``it's only appropriate that through government transportation dollars, the Mission could be enhanced, to bring it back to what it used to be,'' he said. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1998/04/17/MN106671.DTL&type=printable

On the mission station we had a local church "Eglise Beloya de Longa" (Berean Baptist Church of Longa). www.newsoflife.org /field/longa.htm

HSF - International Space Station Researchers on Earth are using several experiments aboard the International Space Station to study health and safety issues. Researchers use the Station to test materials that could be used for Mars-bound spacecraft. Station crews tend the plants, photograph them and harvest samples for return to Earth. spaceflight1.nasa.gov /station

Reverend L.E.Threlkeld's London Missionary Society Belmont Mission Station I knew that this was not correct even though the mission station’s land grant extended to include the Warners Bay area across to the ocean and down to the entrance at Reid’s Mistake. Knowing this I thought I had better get a more accurate location of the Mission Station house. I think that the mission house must have been at this location with commanding views over the Lake and across the Belmont area that no doubt was cultivated from the stream shown in the plan. www.geocities.com /parksandplaygrounds/pr_7thjan2001.html

STS-112_Archive.txt STS-112 MISSION ARCHIVE (COMPLETE) Updated: 10/18/02 Space station assembly mission 9A (S0 truss) By William Harwood CBS News/Kennedy Space Center The following copy originally was posted on the Current Mission space page at http://cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html. Once this system is up and connected, a little later in the mission we'll be testing out this second string of communications gear." While Wolf and Sellers are working through their initial tasks, ground controllers will begin powering up internal truss systems, activating its computers and turning on critical heaters. Astronaut Cady Coleman in mission control thanked the astronauts for narrating the in-cabin view, saying "I just can't thank you enough for sharing that experience."

Mir Space Station The current Mir Space Station is actually a complex of different modules that have been pieced together. The first element of the station was launched on February 20, 1986 at an inclination of 51.6 degrees. The Mir module, the first module of the complex placed in orbit, is the main module of the station. liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov /rsa/mir.html

STS-97 Endeavour also will be the first Space Shuttle to visit an inhabited International Space Station, although the Shuttle crew and station crew of Commander Bill Shepherd, Pilot Yuri Gidzenko and Flight Engineer Sergei Krikalev will not greet one another until the hatches are fully opened between the spacecraft on the seventh day of the mission. Based an on-time launch on Nov. 30, Bloomfield is scheduled to undock Endeavour from the station just after noon CST on Dec. 8, performing a full-circle flyaround of the complex before departing the vicinity.

Arctic: NY HERRNHUT I NUUK 1733-2003: MISSION STATION, RÆVEFARM, EMBEDSBOLIG, MUSEUM, UNIVERSITET (NEW HERRNHUT IN NUUK 1733-2003: MISSION STATION, FOX FARM, OFFICIAL RESIDENCE, MUSEUM, UNIVERSITY) Another interesting feature to which the authors draw attention is the internationalism of the Moravian mission in contrast to the provincialism of the Danish mission. The purpose of the authors is twofold: to tell the story of the original Moravian building at New Herrnhut and, through this, to narrate the story of Nuuk's metamorphosis from an isolated outpost (almost the end of the world) to the modern university city of today. This division had a consequence: the Moravian Greenlanders lived a more traditional life, and it was among them that the so-called "Greenlandic soul" was to be found when the awakening of national, Romantic feelings in Greenland gave rise to collections of myths and sagas. findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3712/is_200412/ai_n9473473

Spaceflight Now | Space Station Mission Report | Mission Status Center After enjoying a brief rest period while the International Space Station was flying through orbital darkness, the spacewalkers are resuming activities to remove one of the Japanese Micro-Particles Capture and Space Environment Exposure Device (MPAC-SEED) material experiments and moving another to a different bracket on the Zvezda module's hull to continue its exposure. The to-do list for this spacewalk, the 52nd in the life of the space station and 27th to originate from the orbiting lab, is quite extensive with many chores outside the Russian segment of the complex. The International Space Station will be unoccupied for several hours today as the two residents step outside for a spacewalk to work on external experiments and equipment. spaceflightnow.com /station/status.html

Te Waimate mission station Te Waimate Mission Station is a half an hour drive from Kerikeri. Te Waimate Mission House is also the scene of the second signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Mission Atlantis: Shuttle Docks with Space Station The work is to begin early Thursday when Whitson and Atlantis mission specialist Sandy Magnus will operate the station's robot arm to pluck the S1 truss from Atlantis' cargo bay and move it up against the S-Zero (S0) truss that was attached to the top of the Destiny module earlier this year. At that point the way will be clear for Atlantis spacewalkers Dave Wolf and Piers Sellers to depart the station's Quest airlock and begin the first of three 6.5-hour extravehicular activities planned for the next week to finish making the mechanical, electrical and fluid connections between the new truss and the rest of the station. The crews are happy to be flying again and certainly I know the station crew is happy to see their visitors show up at their door," said lead flight director Phil Engelauf. www.space.com /missionlaunches/sts112_dock_021009.html

Places to Visit : Northland Read more about the early history of the Kerikeri Mission Station (Kemp House) and the Stone Store: Kerikeri: A Pocket Parramatta. Visitors to the Kerikeri Mission House (Kemp House) often ask where the herb garden was, assuming that herbs from the garden were commonly used for domestic medicine in the early to mid 1800s. Designed by Wesleyan missionary John Hobbs and built by an ex-convict stonemason from New South Wales, the Store was meant to house New Zealand mission supplies and large quantities of wheat from the mission farm at Te Waimate. www.historic.org.nz /places2visit/places2visit_northland.html

An Old Mission Station Brought To Life Botshabelo, formerly known as the Berliner Mission Station, was laid out on a 23-ha farm which is now owned by the Middelburg Town Council. Although much still needs to be restored, Botshabelo today provides a fair representation of the mission station of a century ago. Here one sees magnificent views of the mission station, the Ndebele village and the original farm. www.encounter.co.za /article/17.html
