These extend the competence of the Organization, enabling it to provide land mobile-satellite services. We also described the amendment process. It is now necessary to consider in some detail the amendments themselves. The Land Mobile Amendments The crucial amendments are to Article 3 of the INMARSAT Convention, which sets out the purposes of the Organization. Paragraphs (1) and (2) now read as follows: (l) The purpose of the Organization is to make provision for the space segment necessary for improving maritime communications and, as practicable, aeronautical and land mobile communications and communications on waters not part of the marine environment, thereby aSsIstmg in improving communications for distress and safety of life and communications for air traffic services, the efficiency and management of transportation by sea, air and on· land, maritime, aeronautical and other public correspondence services and, radiodetermination capabilities. :;.

This text therefore extends the competence of the Organization into two new areas: land mobile commWlications and communications on waters not part of the marine environment. The introduction of the concept of "waters not part of the marine environment" should be explained.

    Frontispiece Advanced Lunar Base In this panorama of an advanced lunar base, the main habitation modules in the background to the right are shown being covered by lunar soil for radiation protection. 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.

The Political Economy of Orbit Spectrum Leasing Harvey Levin* INTRODUCTION This article I will propose several plans for allocating a common resource of the earth-the international orbit spectrum--among nations through mechanisms designed to introduce market incentives. The rights to orbital "parking places" are so defined as to permit their subdivision, recombina- tion, and assignment in lease markets. 2 The lease market approach accom- modates the interests of both developed countries (DCs), who have the technology and domestic demand to establish satellite systems today, and less-developed countries (LDCs), who seek long-range planning to guar- antee them access to the orbit spectrum at a time in the future when they, too, possess the capability and need. 3 In the interim, this plan will provide LDCs with income as the lessors of orbital slots they cannot currently use.

Eaton, Chief, Expendable Launch Vehicle Programs National Aeronautics and Space Administration J. D. Kraft, Delta Mission Analysis and Integration Manager, National Aeronautics and Space Administration ABSTRACT An important exploration of eosnie x-ray sources currently under wey Wan made possible by a unique example of international cooperation. The EXOSAT spacecraft, designed, developed, qualified, and prepared for launch by the European Space Agency (ESA), was successfully launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Delta launch vehicle in May 1983* EXOSAT was originally scheduled for launch on the European Ariane rocket, but due to unforeseen schedule realignments, ESA, in cooperation with NASA, selected the Delta for this mission in February 1983.
