The 17Th Australian Space Research Conference Welcome to the 17th Australian Space Research Conference and to the University of Sydney, in Sydney! This will be the Eleventh ASRC jointly sponsored and organised by the National Committee for Space and Radio Science (NCSRS) and the National Space Society of Australia (NSSA). The ASRC is intended to be the primary annual meeting for Australian research relating to space science. It welcomes space scientists, engineers, educators, and workers in Industry and Government. The 17th ASRC has over 120 accepted abstracts across Australian space research, academia, education, industry, and government. We would like to thank University of Sydney for its sponsorship of the conference. Special thanks also go to the Mars Society Australia (MSA) for its support. We look forward to an excellent meeting!

To this end the National Space Society (worldwide) promotes interest in space exploration, research, development and habitation through events such as science and business conferences, speaking to the press, public outreach events, speaking engagements with community groups and schools, and other pro-active events. We do this to stimulate advancement and development of space and related applications and technologies and by bringing together people from government, industry and all walks of life for the free exchange of information. As a non-profit organisation, the National Space Society of Australia draws its strength from an enthusiastic membership who contributes their time and effort to assist the Society in pursuit of its goals.

Wayne Short NSSA President 2017 3 About the NCSRS The National Committee for Space and Radio Science (NCSRS) is chartered by the Australian Academy of Science to foster space science, to link Australian space scientists together and to their international colleagues, and to advise the Academy’s Council on policy for science in general and space and radio science in particular. The NCSRS was formed in 2012 by combining the former National Committee for Space Science (NCSS) and the National Committee for Radio Science (NCRS). The NCSRS web page can be reached at https://www.science.org.au/committee/space-and-radio-science NCSRS believes that ASRC meetings provide a natural venue to link Australian space scientists and foster the associated science, two of its core goals. As well as ASRC, NCSRS is also sponsoring the VSSEC – NASA Australian Space Prize. This is the sixth ASRC meeting following launch of the first Decadal Plan for Australian Space Science. NCSRS encourages people to work together to accomplish the Plan’s vision: “Build Australia a long term, productive presence in Space via world-leading innovative space science and technology, strong education and outreach, and international Collaborations.” 4 Program Committee & Organisers 2017 ASRC Program Committee Annalea Beattie (Mars Society Australia) Iver Cairns (University of Sydney), Committee chair Graziella Caprarelli (University of South Australia) Brett Carter (RMIT University) Jonathan Clarke (Mars Society of Australia) Andrew Dempster (UNSW Australia) Bradley Evans (University Sydney) Alfredo Huerte (University of Technology) Duane Hamacher (UNSW Australia) Jason Held (Saber Astro) Lucyna Kedziora-Chudczer (University of NSW) Trevor Harris (Defence Science and Technology Group, Department of Defence) Jonathan Horner (University of Southern Queensland) Fred Menk (National Committee Space and Radio Science) Carol Oliver (UNSW Australia) Murray Parkinson (Bureau of Meteorology) Chris Rizos (University of NSW) Kefei Zhang (RMIT University) 5 2017 ASRC Organising Committee Kirco Arsov Bureau of Meteorology Cheryl Brown ACSER, UNSW Australia, secretariat Annalea Beattie Mars Society Australia Iver Cairns Co Chair ASRC 2017 University of Sydney Graziella Caprarelli University of South Australia Jonathan Clarke Mars Society Australia Jonathan Horner University of Southern Queensland Stephan Manidis University of Sydney, operations and secretariat Murray Parkinson Bureau of Meteorology Wayne Short Co Chair ASSC 2017 President, NSSA 6 Venue Details Conference Venue Details Sydney Nanoscience Hub (SNH) Physics Road University of Sydney, Camperdown The conference secretariat will be in the foyer area on level 3 on the Nanoscience Hub.

    Women in Astronomy: An Introductory Resource Guide by Andrew Fraknoi (Fromm Institute, University of San Francisco) [April 2019] © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. For permission to use, or to suggest additional materials, please contact the author at e-mail: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu This guide to non-technical English-language materials is not meant to be a comprehensive or scholarly introduction to the complex topic of the role of women in astronomy. It is simply a resource for educators and students who wish to begin exploring the challenges and triumphs of women of the past and present. It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most welcome.

  • Towards Human Exploration of Space: the THESEUS Review Series on Muscle and Bone Research Priorities
    www.nature.com/npjmgrav REVIEW ARTICLE OPEN Towards human exploration of space: the THESEUS review series on muscle and bone research priorities Thomas Lang 1, Jack J.W.A. Van Loon2, Susan Bloomfield3, Laurence Vico4, Angele Chopard5, Joern Rittweger6, Antonios Kyparos7, Dieter Blottner8, Ilkka Vuori 9, Rupert Gerzer10 and Peter R. Cavanagh11 Without effective countermeasures, the musculoskeletal system is altered by the microgravity environment of long-duration spaceflight, resulting in atrophy of bone and muscle tissue, as well as in deficits in the function of cartilage, tendons, and vertebral disks. While inflight countermeasures implemented on the International Space Station have evidenced reduction of bone and muscle loss on low-Earth orbit missions of several months in length, important knowledge gaps must be addressed in order to develop effective strategies for managing human musculoskeletal health on exploration class missions well beyond Earth orbit. Analog environments, such as bed rest and/or isolation environments, may be employed in conjunction with large sample sizes to understand sex differences in countermeasure effectiveness, as well as interaction of exercise with pharmacologic, nutritional, immune system, sleep and psychological countermeasures. Studies of musculoskeletal biomechanics, involving both human subject and computer simulation studies, are essential to developing strategies to avoid bone fractures or other injuries to connective tissue during exercise and extravehicular activities. Animal models may be employed to understand effects of the space environment that cannot be modeled using human analog studies. These include studies of radiation effects on bone and muscle, unraveling the effects of genetics on bone and muscle loss, and characterizing the process of fracture healing in the mechanically unloaded and immuno-compromised spaceflight environment.

I would like to thank Nicole Stanton for her unwavering support throughout this process, the faculty of the Dance and American Studies Departments for helping me become the choreographer, dancer, and thinker I am today, and of course my fellow majors, who have never stopped teaching and inspiring me. To the toothbrush owners and dinner patrons of 43A Home Avenue, thank you. Kathleen, David, and Martha Fischhoff, thank you for making all things possible. Introduction Even a cursory glance at contemporary media shows the vital place astronauts have come to occupy in the national imagination of the United States. Space Camp, located at 1 Tranquility Base in Huntsville, AL offers day and residential programs for children ages 7 to 18. The camp’s website also advertises programs designed for corporate groups, educators, and “Special Programs” for the visually impaired and hard of hearing. The space-related work of Hollywood icon Tom Hanks alone includes film (Apollo 13), a televised miniseries (From Earth to the Moon), an IMAX movie (Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D), and the forward to a recent popular science book (Andrew Chaikin’s A Man on the Moon).

  • Civilian Space Stations and the U.S. Future in Space
    Civilian Space Stations and the U.S. Future in Space November 1984 NTIS order #PB85-205391 Recommended Citation: Civilian Space Stations and the U.S. Future in Space (Washington, DC: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA-STI-241, November 1984). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 84-601136 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 Foreword I am pleased to introduce the OTA assessment of Civilian Space Stations and the U.S. Future in Space. This study was requested by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation and the House Committee on Science and Technology, and the request was endorsed by the Senate Committee on Appropriations and the House Committee on the Budget. The study was designed to cover not only the essential technical issues surround- ing the selection and acquisition of infrastructure in space, but to enable Congress to look beyond these matters to the larger context; the direction of our efforts. Given the vast capability and promise available to the country and the world because of the sophisticated space technology we now possess, equally sophisticated and thoughtful decisions must be made about where the U.S. space program is going, and for what purposes. The Advisory Panel for this study played a role of unusual importance in helping to generate a set of possible space goals and objectives that demonstrate the diverse opportunities open to us at this time, and OTA thanks them for their productive com- mitment of time and energy. Their participation does not necessarily constitute con- sensus or endorsement of the content of the report, for which OTA bears sole respon- sibility.
