Claude Nicollier's Profile
Brief about Claude Nicollier: By info that we know Claude Nicollier was born at 1944-09-02. And also Claude Nicollier is American Astronaut.
Some Claude Nicollier's quotes. Goto "Claude Nicollier's quotation" section for more.You can see these boxes which are covered with metal foils for thermal reasons, and they are also, most of the time, thermally controlled inside to keep reasonable temperature inside each of these containers.

Tags: Great, Heart, OnceMy name was on the list very early after these announcements were made through the newspapers in Europe.
Tags: After, Early, NameThe future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.
Tags: Future, Manner, SpaceThen, much later, my next dream was to become an astronaut, and I was fortunate to realize that dream, also.
Tags: Become, Dream, RealizeAs far as the radio waves part of the spectrum, we can do these adequately from the ground because the atmosphere is basically transparent to our radio waves.
Tags: Far, Ground, RadioI feel very privileged to be part of this mission, and when my nomination was announced, I was really very, very happy to be selected for this mission.
Tags: Happy, Mission, PrivilegedI think a benefit is that we try to put it up in a short time. From the decision to do this mission until we fly, it's six months and one week or so, so it's a very short time.
Tags: Decision, Time, TryI would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.

Tags: General, Short, UniverseIt is going to be an experiment of how it works, and I see I have all reasons to believe that it will work fine. But it's a short time. And we also have pushed the envelope here a little beyond what has been done in the past.
Tags: Past, Time, WorkMy first dream as a child was to become a pilot. My second dream was to become an astronomer, and I pursued in parallel efforts and studies in these two areas.
Tags: Become, Child, DreamOn one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space.
Tags: Able, Another, StudyThe Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
Tags: Away, Earth, NextThe objects that are of moderate energy, like our sun or most of the stars that we see in the night sky with the naked eye, are objects in which relatively moderate energy processes are taking place.
