Halter Marine will serve as the prime contractor in the fixed-price incentive-firm contract awarded by the Department of the Navy. Initial efforts under the contract will target the purchase of long lead-time materials,  \nspecifically the generator sets, necessary to support production while ensuring commonality across the first two PSCs.  \nHalter Marine was awarded a $745 million contract in 2019 for the design and construction of the United States’first new heavy icebreaker in more than 40 years. The contract included two options that, if exercised, would bring the cumulative value of the contract to more than $1.9 billion.  \nContinued on Page 4  \nE X P L O R E R ‘ S GA Z E T T E V O L U M E 22, I S S U E 1 J A N 􀀐 M A R 2 0 2 2  \nHELLO, OAEs!—Hello, Hello! Happy transitional season time! Spring is right around the corner, and here’s hoping nicer weather is around the corner in your part of the world. I’m looking forward to seeing many of you at the OAEA Reunion this May in sunny San Diego! It will be a great opportunity to reconnect with fellow OAEs in addition to absorbing some warmth, sunshine, and planned activities.  \nI recently returned home after five-plus months in McMurdo. It seemed like both a long time and went by ina blink. My head is still adjusting to this reality—in McMurdo, our world felt small and a bit disconnected from the rest of the world. It’s a joy not to have the Internet in my pocket at all times and instead focus on our work and community.  \nFor science, we supported projects in the fields of biology (penguin, seal, marine invertebrates including the world’s largest sea spiders!), glaciology/geophysics, astrophysics, atmospheric science, geology/earth science, and other collaborative and technical support projects. A couple new satellite dishes and domes were installed this season to improve our off-continent communications. Four ships docked at the new ice pier in McMurdo in January alone: the Maersk Peary fuel tanker, USCG cutter Polar Star, HMNZS Aotearoa, and the resupply vessel Ocean Giant. We had opportunities to tour all except the resupply vessel, and it was fascinating. The Aotearoa, NZ’s newest naval ship commissioned into service in 2020, is primarily a re-fueling and re-supply logistics vessel, and this year marked its maiden voyage to Antarctica. Overall, it was a great season—strange, yes, but we maximized the science and infrastructure support with the population at hand and succeeded at remaining COVID-free.  \nOne highlight was a live video call from McMurdo with OAEA Members Dick Kopplin, Dave Hazard, Dave Riley, Ed Hamblin, and Marty Diller about the October 1970 Pegasus Super-Constellation crash near McMurdo. Dave, Dave, and Dick discussed the Pegasus aircraft and the event that caused her to cease operations, while Ed, Marty, and I spoke a bit about the OAEA and introduced McMurdo’s current residents to our Association. I also got a chance to lead a snowmobile trip out to the Pegasus site in late January.  \nPlease join me in welcoming our new and returning members this quarter: Philip Hinshaw, Stanton Beale, Robert Margie, Derek Blankenship, Rick Williams, Christopher Churylo,","cbCaiooT41Ct9Nmt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiooT41Ct9Nmt","pdf",7811413,52,"English","# President’s Corner\n## Greeting and seasonal update\n## McMurdo experience and scientific support\n## New and returning members\n# Contract Awarded for Icebreaker\n## Halter Marine and Polar Security Cutter details\n# Feature Stories and Columns","[{\"question\":\"When is the OAEA reunion registration deadline mentioned, and where should members register to attend?\",\"answer\":\"The reminder states the registration deadline is 8 April for the OAEA 8–12 May 2022 reunion, with attendees asked to hurry and make reservations at the Handlery Hotel.\"},{\"question\":\"What contract award is highlighted in the issue?\",\"answer\":\"The issue features that Halter Marine was awarded a contract for the construction of the second U.S. Coast Guard Polar Security Cutter icebreaker.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the President’s message share about the season in McMurdo?\",\"answer\":\"It describes returning home after more than five months in McMurdo, notes improvements to off-continent communications, lists ships docked at the ice pier, and highlights remaining COVID-free while maximizing science and infrastructure support.\"}]","EXPLORER’S GAZETTE - Volume 22 - Jan-Mar 2022 | PDF",1790289515]
