The modules on the far right are reactors in which lunar soil is being processed to provide oxygen. Each reactor is heated by a solar mirror. The vehicle near them is collecting liquid oxygen from the reactor complex and will transport it to the launch pad in the background, where a tanker is just lifting off. The mining pits are shown just behind the foreground figure on the left. The geologists in the foreground are looking for richer ores to mine.

  • How to Connect Space and Society Raising Awareness on Satellite Applications for Societal Needs
    70th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), Washington D.C., United States, 21-25 October 2019. Copyright ©2019 by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF). All rights reserved. IAC-19-B5.3.6 SPACE FOR ALL: HOW TO CONNECT SPACE AND SOCIETY RAISING AWARENESS ON SATELLITE APPLICATIONS FOR SOCIETAL NEEDS Ms. Alessandra Vernilea* a Eurisy, 52,rue Jacques Hillairet, 75012 Paris, France, [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract When we talk about Space, our interlocutors think about planets, stars, asteroids, astronauts and, sometimes satellites. But, only a small percentage is aware of what satellite technology can do and the relevance of satellite applications in our everyday life. From satellite communication, to navigation and to earth imagery, satellites data and technology are contributing in improving our daily life, or businesses or helping the management of our cities. Often, the end users come across an obstacle in communicating their needs to the service providers. On the other side, the service providers themselves are not fully aware how to communicate with the end users. In some cases, this lack of communication makes difficult to meet the demand of space applications from the user side with the supply from the service providers. Eurisy, an association of space agencies established thirty years ago, works to put the end users at the core of the space value chain. In this last decades, Eurisy has been attentive and responsive to the changes of the space sector trying to picture how end users are becoming familiar with space technology. In particular, how the democratisation of space is turning space, especially satellite technology, into an enabler to guarantee the development of a sustainable living, accessible to everyone.

  • 25. STAR TREK: GENERATIONS Overture 16-38
    DISC ONE: FILM SCORE 1. Main Title The first six STAR TREK films, despite their varied tones, feature bold and declarative main title cues—energetic anthems that promise high adventure amongst the stars. GENERATIONS takes a more reflective and subdued approach, opening with a splash of shimmering, synth-enhanced textures and a mysterioso four-note device (a variant of what will become the film's threat motive). As a lone champagne bottle arcs through the vacuum of space, clustered tones swell majestically under the title, and a quasi-religious chorus wordlessly voices McCarthy’s theme for the paradisiacal Nexus. The threat motive variant resurfaces briefly, before swirling harp and keyboard usher in an ennobling melody for trumpet. This is the first of McCarthy’s “captain’s themes,” used to represent Starfleet and its lofty ideals. Ascending figures culminate in joyous French horn exclamations of Alexander Courage’s classic STAR TREK fanfare from the original television series, as the bottle shatters against the hull of the USS Enterprise-B. 2. Past Glory Mark tree and harp glissandi maintain the dreamlike atmosphere as Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Montgomery Scott (James Doohan) and Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig) step onto the bridge of the new Enterprise, where Captain John Harriman (Alan Ruck) greets them as honored guests. The Courage fanfare plays softly as Kirk takes in the scene, moving into a statement of the Starfleet theme as Chekov introduces Demora Sulu (Jacqueline Kim), the daughter of Kirk’s former helmsman. The cue finishes with a gentle horn line as Kirk contemplates the rapid passage of years.
