Lost in the Shelikof: An Alaskan Family's Struggle to Survive

(Paperback)
by: Jeffrey Bruce Mitchell
Skipper Dale Pruitt stood barefoot atop the capsized hull of his fishing vessel. Bobbing in heavy seas, he steadied himself and assessed his situation. His crew was down below him in the water. The crew was his niece, his son, and his daughter. The t-shirt and shorts he wore would provide no protection against the dark, icy waters of the Shelikof Strait. But his options had fallen away quickly in the moments since he had sent out a mayday from the cabin of the foundering F/V Magnum. Leaning hard into the gale, Dale did what he had to do.

Minotaur 4 rocket launches FastSat, NanoSail-D (7 satellites total) from Kodiak, Alaska

NASA's Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology Satellite, or FASTSAT, has launched from the Kodiak Launch Complex on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and is awaiting separation from the main launch vehicle. Approximately 20 minutes after launch, FASTSAT will separate from the launch vehicle for orbital insertion. Thirty minutes later, FASTSAT will automatically power up to begin initial checkout operations. FASTSAT is carrying six small payloads to low Earth orbit, demonstrating a critical ability to provide low-cost and rapid response opportunities for scientific and technical payloads to get to space. FASTSAT is NASA's first microsatellite designed to create a capability that increases opportunities for secondary, scientific and technology payloads, or rideshares, to be flown at lower cost than previously possible. The overall objective of the FASTSAT mission is to demonstrate the capability to build, design and test a microsatellite platform to enable governmental, academic and industry researchers to conduct low-cost scientific and technology experiments on an autonomous satellite in space. FASTSAT establishes a platform and environment where science and technology research experiment payloads of low- and mid-level complexity can be flown responsively and affordably in low-Earth orbit.
