It is the 29th mission of the Star b, a simulated space program lhat'has been conducted by Brighton Hish School aerospace teacher John Barainca for almost 15 years. The Pars uiy gins are pari oi a learn consisting ui asuuimuu from their high school and Brighton, Evanston (Wyo.) and Hillcrest high schools. Ten astronauts will be confined con-fined to the crew module room and flight deck, all contained in a 8-foot hv 12-foot room at Brighton, the same basic setting for the other 28 missions. Mission Control for the project, located just outside the room, will be Hie girls' only link with Earth via a radio headset. In preparation for their big mission five consecutive days spent in the crew module room-the girls are going on a 12-hour training mission April 12 at midnight. Mission Control will be manned at all times by pairs of students among the 50 who volunteered for the big flight and test run. Park City's Nicole Fellows will be part of the control room team for both exercises. exer-cises. Two students will work three-hour three-hour shifts around the clock while the big mission is under way. Preston, who along with Barainca students Brighton ; ii : ' " 7 ''" '"' ; '"' ! p : & isJ I : i w PI I YcT4 o is part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Teachers in Space Program, said the practice session was needed to test for possible claustrophobic reactions. She said that if there was going to be a problem with claustrophobia, it would show up within the 12-hour period. "I've talked to a number of (U.S.) astronauts and they told me about a problems they encounter and experiences ex-periences they have while in flight, and a lot of what they said is similar to what the kids experience," Barainca said. His program has come a long way in 14 years. The site of the first mission mis-sion was little more than a plain room. Now the room looks like the inside of a spacecraft. The flight deck, where the on-shift astronauts will be working, is separated from the crew module room. In the crew room are three bunks, a microwave oven, a refrigerator, an exercise cycle and equipment needed to do experiments. There are, of course, toilet facilities separated by a draw drape. The flight deck will have simulated space pictures projected into it via a videocassette recorder and a look out the windows will be a look out into space. The mission this time is comprised of all girls. Barainca said he conducts con-ducts two mission a year and he will alternate between boys and girls. "With adults, you could have mixed mix-ed company, but with boys and girls on the high school level, there is just not enough privacy for a coed situation situa-tion to be accepted," Barainca said. Preston said it was easy choosing the girls for the simulated flight. Twelve applications were picked up in March for the project and only three were returned. The girls will take off on their big mission April 15 at midnight and will "land" at noon on April 20. Now if they can just keep away from those Klingons . . .
